If he's now open to leaving, its big big. Hugely admired by United, with eyes on a potential signing since at least November. Seemingly hasn't been getting on with Howe who is now staying... Still a tough deal, but exciting.
There’s a foul on todibo, mavropanos AND the West Ham goalie. But they rule it out for an arm across the goalie.
Fair play Arsenal it’s a huge result and guaranteed them the title but I don’t wanna hear winging about refs after that and the atleti game. They’re getting away with murder.
Bananas are such convenient fruits like no chopping or washing needed, not sticky, no juice dripping around and they come with their own biodegradable packaging. A 10/10 in my books
Two weeks ago Lisandro Martinez was given red card for touching Calvert Lewin’s hair. Today he did exactly same thing to cucurella and wasn’t book because he’s not Manchester United player 😂
Gabriel was very smart by headbutting Haaland and not accidentally removing his hair bobble in an aerial duel. By avoiding 'violent conduct' he receives a yellow card rather than a red and three-game suspension. Well done, good process.
Written off as a £80m flop, booed, abused, hounded, stripped of the captaincy & dropped amid relentless scrutiny, a 'fan' channel called the bomb threat to his house a PR stunt, but Harry Maguire is still standing. He is the definition of mental resilience.
He never shied away, he stayed professional & let his football do the talking with consistent high-level performances & leadership. A 1+1 for Maguire on reduced wages that smooths out the money over two years has always made sense.
A leader, a great influence on his teammates & the best knee slide celebration in football. So well deserved.
Bruno Fernandes is "unlikeable"... Okay, what about this then???

Adam Wharton is behind Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali on #mufc’s list. Insiders expect his price to be in the £60–70m range, but there are concerns that his style of play is too similar to Kobbie Mainoo’s, meaning they may struggle to operate effectively as a partnership [@MailSport]
