‘It’s Donny time’: Some Manchester United fans react after blow for 24-year-old star
A selection of Manchester United fans reacted on Twitter after the club confirmed that midfielder Scott McTominay underwent groin surgery. The Scotland international has been a key player for the Red Devils, but he won’t play any part in the Wolverhampton Wanderers game this weekend. The 24-year-old has also been ruled out for the upcoming fixtures for Scotland. It is unclear whether he will return to action following the international break. This has produced a mixed reaction among the fans, with some of them believing that McTominay’s injury could open up a spot for Donny van de Beek. Twitter reactions: Get well soon. This need to be Donny’s breakout chance now to have a run of games and show what he’s got — Tom (@VandeGOAT) August 26, 2021 Even more of a reason to sign a midfielder now ...
‘Two tackles, three clearances’: Solskjaer praises ‘excellent’ Man United star after Leeds win
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer heaped praise on midfielder Scott McTominay after the club’s 5-1 Premier League win over Leeds United. The Red Devils started their new campaign in style against the Whites. Paul Pogba (four assists) and Bruno Fernandes (three goals) were undoubtedly the standout performers. However, almost every other player was at the top of his game. McTominay had a solid display with one interception, two tackles and three clearances. Speaking after the victory, Solskjaer was impressed with several players and said that McTominay was excellent, having barely featured during pre-season. He said: “Scott running on, that was a big thing. He’s not played more than 20 minutes this pre-season, and that was at centre-back.” “It was one of those where we kept him ...
Manchester United boss: Fans will give us ‘extra lift’ in final few games
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the return of fans will give Manchester United an “extra lift” in their final few games of the season. Supporters will be inside Old Trafford for the first time since March 2020 for United’s final home league game of the season, against Fulham, and after two defeats on the spin at home the United manager is hoping their support will give them a boost. After recent protests, Solskjaer is also hoping the supporters will get behind the team and hopes the game won’t be “marred by violence.” Solskjaer said: “Of course you hope that the game against Fulham will not be marred by any violence or over the top things. “I know our fans, I know the Manchester United fans, they’re the best fans I’ve had and I’ve got such a great relationship with them and they know how to ...
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 ...
‘Excellent’, ‘Top class’: Some Man United fans react to 24-year-old’s display vs West Ham United
A selection of Manchester United fans praised the performance of Scott McTominay after he bagged the winning goal in the FA Cup fifth round tie against West Ham United. The Red Devils commanded two-thirds of the possession over the entire cup tie at Old Trafford and it was a frustrating night with very few scoring chances. McTominay came off the bench to replace Nemanja Matic in the 73rd minute of the game and he eventually made the difference in added extra-time. The Scotland international has scored some valuable goals this term and found the back of the net in the 97th minute after a smart lay-off from Marcus Rashford in the box. That proved the only goal of the entire contest and ensured that United reached the last eight of the competition for the seventh season in a row. McTominay’s ...
Paul Pogba limps off injured in Manchester United’s clash vs Everton
Manchester United have been dealt a blow as Paul Pogba limped off injured after 39 minutes of the Premier League clash with Everton. The France international has been in excellent form in recent weeks, but he looks set for a spell on the sidelines. He was on the ball and played a simple pass towards Victor Lindelof, only to immediately pull up in discomfort. He pointed to his right thigh as he received treatment before being replaced by Fred and limping down the Old Trafford tunnel. Midfield is one area of strength for Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the likes of Fred, Scott McTominay, Bruno Fernandes, Nemamja Matic and Donny van de Beek ensuring there are ample options to choose from. However, in what is a congested season any absence will be keenly felt. Following the clash wi...
Manchester United star Donny van de Beek urged to consider January transfer exit
Ajax and Netherlands legend Ronald de Boer has advised Donny Van De Beek to leave Manchester United in this January transfer window. Van De Beek has struggled for game time since his £39million move from Ajax. The 23-year-old has started just two Premier League games this season and has been completely left out the squad for United’s last three fixtures. And De Boer thinks the Holland international should consider leaving with the Euros coming up this summer. He told AD: “The European Championship is coming, he will undoubtedly want to be there. “Maybe it would be good for him to discuss with the club exactly what they want with him. “If the view on playing time does not improve, he may have to declare that he should be loaned or even sold. “You have to be lucky every now and then. Of cour...
