‘Masterclass’, ‘Unbelievable’: Some Man United fans praise £75,000-a-week star after Leeds win
Some Manchester United fans on Twitter were hugely impressed with Mason Greenwood who led the line against Leeds United in the Premier League opener. The 19-year-old was picked ahead of Anthony Martial up front on Saturday, and he produced a lively performance, capped with the club’s second goal in the 5-1 win. Greenwood managed five take-ons against the Whites. He scored at a timely period for United, considering Leeds had just equalised early in the second half. The teenager made a superb counter-attacking run from a splendid Paul Pogba pass. He scored from a tight angle with his left foot, beating Illan Meslier at the far post. Pogba and Bruno Fernandes earned most of the plaudits yesterday after bagging four assists and a hat-trick respectively against Marcelo Bielsa’s side. Howev...
Euro 2020: Gareth Southgate invites Bukayo Saka, 24 others
Gareth Southgate hit back at the critics after selecting Trent Alexander-Arnold for England’s Euro 2020 squad as the Three Lions boss admitted Harry Maguire is a doubt for the opener against Croatia. Alexander-Arnold had to endure a nervous wait before learning he had made the cut after spending much of the season out of favour with Southgate. The 22-year-old was left out of Southgate’s England squad for their World Cup qualifiers in March. But Alexander-Arnold’s strong end to the season with Liverpool convinced Southgate to restore the right-back to his squad. Alexander-Arnold responded to his selection by tweeting: “Always believe in yourself. Silence the doubters.” Irritated by the inaccurate pre-announcement reports that he would drop Alexander-Arnold, Southgate insisted he never lost ...
‘He’s back’, ‘Great’: Some Man United fans praise £75,000-a-week star after Burnley win
A section of Manchester United fans expressed their delight over the performance of Mason Greenwood in the 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley. The Red Devils failed to find the back of the net in the first half, but they managed to break the deadlock in the 48th minute through Greenwood. Marcus Rashford’s pass fell into the path of the teenager after a brilliant dummy from Bruno Fernandes. The youngster capitalised to score for a third league game running. However, the joy was shortlived as the Clarets equalised just a couple of minutes later through James Tarkowski, who beat Harry Maguire to a header. It appeared that the Clarets would go unbeaten for a first straight meeting at Old Trafford, before Greenwood scored his second goal with a huge deflection in the 84th minute. Substitute Ed...
‘So happy for him’: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praises £75,000-a-week star after Burnley win
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased for Mason Greenwood as he continued his fine run of form with a brace against Burnley in the Premier League. The Red Devils secured a 3-1 victory over the Clarets on Sunday, and Greenwood played a key part by bagging the first two goals for the club. The 19-year-old went through a lean patch earlier this season, but he has excelled since the back end of March with regular goal contributions. He has now netted five goals alongside one assist from his last six matches, and Solskjaer was delighted for the club graduate after yesterday’s triumph. He told Manutd.com: “He’s a good goalscorer, we know that. I thought the goal he scored against Tottenham shows that he’s worked on his game because he can go inside or outside and score, so h...
Manchester United’s Eric Bailly tests positive for coronavirus after Ivory Coast duty
Getty Images Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirmed Eric Bailly has tested positive for coronavirus after his international duty with Ivory Coast. Bailly missed the Red Devils’ 2-1 comeback win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday as goals from Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood extended their unbeaten run to 10 Premier League matches. Amad Diallo, who made his international debut for the Elephants during their 3-0 defeat of Niger on March 26, is back in Manchester and was an unused substitute at Old Trafford. Solskjaer, in his team’s update, disclosed that Bailly – who was an unused substitute in Ivory Coast’s final Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Ethiopia last Tuesday – is yet to return to England and will not be available for selection for the time...
Manchester United rages at penalty talk as team draw another blank
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Manchester United are being negatively influenced by opposition managers referring to their penalty record after being denied a spot-kick in a 0-0 draw at Chelsea on Sunday. United was furious that referee Stuart Attwell stuck to his original call not to award a penalty for handball by Callum Hudson-Odoi despite being asked to review the incident by VAR in the first-half. The Red Devils have been awarded 22 penalties in the Premier League since the start of last season, four more than any other club, which led Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard to question why their sides failed to get the same treatment from officials. “It’s all these outside influences. That’s influencing referees,” said an unusually irate Solskjaer. “We’ve ...
Marcus Rashford tames Wolves to send Manchester United into second
Marcus Rashford’s deflected strike deep into stoppage time moved Manchester United to within two points of Liverpool at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Wolves on Tuesday. United laboured for long spells against a youthful Wolves side, but got a huge slice of fortune in the 93rd minute when Rashford’s shot hit Romain Saiss to leave Rui Patricio helpless. Victory takes Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men up to second and continues an excellent run of 23 points from the last possible 27 to mount an unlikely title challenge after a slow start to the season. Despite enjoying one more day’s rest amid the packed festive schedule than their opponents, Solskjaer made six changes from the side that drew 2-2 at Leicester on Boxing Day. Edinson Cavani made just his second Premier League start...

Manchester City name new captain after Silva departure
Getty Images Fernandinho will be Manchester City’s captain for the 2020-21 season, manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed. David Silva took the armband after the departure of long-serving skipper Vincent Kompany last season before the Spain playmaker opted to call time on his decade-long stay at the Etihad Stadium. It means the responsibility will now be passed to Fernandinho, another stalwart of City’s modern era, after the 35-year-old was voted captain by his team-mates and other members of staff. “He will be good [as a leader], as he always has been since I met him,” Guardiola said of the Brazil international who joined City from Shakhtar Donetsk for £30million in 2013 and is out of contract next June. “It doesn’t matter [whether or not Fernandinho has] the armband, he is always a guy who ...
