Diogo Dalot on his daughter:
“This April, Clara had to spend some time in hospital. They had to take her blood. They put syringes in her skin. She got really traumatised. For a father to see his daughter suffer like that, it’s very difficult. Every time a nurse came into her room, she would rise up in her bed and say, “No, no, no!” The first five days, she wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her except me. If the doctors wanted to take her temperature, I had to do it. It couldn’t even be Claudia [wife].
I did not go with the team to train in Ireland. As a father, I wanted to stay at the hospital every single hour of the day.
But every day, I drove into Carrington. I trained for two hours on my own, and then I went back to the hospital. When the team was back from Ireland, I was at training on Saturday. I didn’t know if I would be selected for the game. But I’m playing for United. I had to do my job. I had to know that I had done everything I could to be ready.
Fortunately, the operation was a success, and after that my daughter only wanted mom mom mom. A week later, she was back home, watching daddy play on the TV. When she watches me, she points to the badge and says, “United! United!”
We raised her right.” ❤️

HERE WE GO! Hemos enviado un fax al @FCBarcelona_es con nuestra oferta de traspaso: 4 entradas para el concierto de Bad Bunny de mañana, una suscripción anual al ABC y una bolsa de pipas. Esperamos ansiosos la respuesta para preparar el ‘announce’.
This doesn’t shock me one bit. One story that stuck with me was from someone whose colleague went to a women’s team media day at United and didn’t even know who Bruno was. She was alone in the car park waiting for a ride home when he came over, spoke to her and made sure she was okay and had a way off getting back safely.
Weeks later she saw him on TV and said, “That’s the guy who helped me.”
I’ve also spoken to people who’ve been to media days at United and they all say the similar things about Bruno, and how he makes time for everyone. Shakes hands with everyone in the room, asks questions and has proper conversations with people while players are in and out when it comes to media duties.
🚨EXCL: #MUFC believe Mateus Fernandes is giving them priority over other clubs following talks with his reps. 21 yo is high on the shortlist with Carrick and data team rating him highly too. Deal dependant on #WHU asking fee + PL situation. @UtdDistrict https://t.co/oqs2RW0IGf
Nine years on from the tragic events of the Manchester Arena bombing, we remember the 22 innocent lives that were lost on that awful night.
They will never be forgotten.

🚨 #thfc captain Cristian Romero will NOT be in attendance at this Sunday's game against Everton.
Instead, he is back in Argentina to watch the Argentine Primera División final between River Plate and Belgrano. | @Tim_Vickery
