Wayne Rooney on England’s midfield:
“I'd go with [Declan] Rice sitting, then [Kobbie] Mainoo and Bellingham. Mainoo can hold and attack. In tight areas that's his biggest strength. Very press resistant, it's his feet in tight areas.” [@BBCSport]
Good decision by the club.
Arsenal, PSG & Madrid’s interest disappeared as soon as the 85m price tag was named…but I’m meant to believe United were wrong to refuse it.
🚨🚨🗣️ Rio Ferdinand:
“I think Man United are holding the money back for one man… and that’s [Aurélien] Tchouaméni. If he becomes available in this market, Man United are not gonna miss - they can’t afford to miss with that one.” #MUFC [@RioMeets]
#mufc will now switch their attention to other midfield targets. United are interested in several midfielders, including:
- Aurélien Tchouaméni
- Carlos Baleba
- Alex Scott
