🚨🎙️ | Steve McClaren on the standards Ten Hag brought to #MUFC when he was manager:
“After a couple of weeks, some of the players asked to CHANGE the training time.
“They said it used to be 11AM.. and it allowed them to take their kids to school, and they’d like to do that.
“Harry [Maguire] went, ‘NO. We do 9AM now.’
“First game against Brentford, we lost. There was 13KM difference in how much we ran compared to them.
“Erik [Ten Hag] went.. ‘we’re going to run THAT [the 13KM] this morning.’
“I said don’t be silly, you CANNOT do that. He went ‘Fair enough, they’ll run AFTER ME until I tell them to stop.’
“He had battles with Ronaldo, with Rashford.. he was late to a meeting by 30 seconds and Erik CLOSED the door, put the team up, and he was OUT of it.”
An emotional video featuring every Mexico player who participated at the 2026 World Cup thanking the fans for all their love and support during the tournament. ❤️🩹🥺🏆
Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.
“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”
“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”
“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”
“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”
“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”
“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”
“That’s not a good system to create good players.”
❤️🥺 A Mexican fan at the Estadio Azteca gifted a young England fan his Merlín duck plush, and his reaction was PRICELESS.
Nothing brings people from different countries together like football does, and Mexico was the best host nation at the World Cup. 🏆
❤️🎓 Gilberto Mora has graduated from high school, just days after making history and playing at the World Cup at only 17 years old.
The Mexican wonderkid received the loudest cheers and applause during the ceremony. 👏🏼
❤️😁 Odion Ighalo asked his mother!
“Mom, you still have this your Man United kit?”
🗣️ She said: “Yes, I like it more than other kits, this is my club. United forever, coming up again”
What a legend 🇳🇬🫂
