🚨 Rooney on Barcelona delaying on Marcus Rashford deal:
“If I’m Marcus, honestly, I’d find the whole situation disrespectful. And a little embarrassing too. Because you cannot convince me a club is almost ready to throw close to €100M at Gordon but suddenly starts calculating pennies when it comes to Rashford. That alone already tells you where their real priority is.
From the outside looking in, it doesn’t even feel like they’re trying to make him feel important. And for a player of Rashford’s level and profile, that matters. Personally, for my dignity, I don’t care how big the club is, I’d either go back to Manchester United and force my way back into the team…or move somewhere else where I’m genuinely wanted immediately.
Because imagine scoring an incredible free kick against Real Madrid and the club still doesn’t react with: ‘Yeah, pay United now before somebody else moves first.’ That should tell you everything. At some point players also need to protect their own pride.”
🚨 Bryan Mbeumo on Manchester United’s return to the Champions League:
“You know… I’ve never played Champions League football before. Few days ago me and Matheus (Cunha) were talking about how both of us were completely locked in on joining United even before the moves happened because it was genuinely our dream club. And now look at us…we’re about to play Champions League football with United.
What makes it emotional for us is that we didn’t join when everything was already successful & comfortable. We joined when people were still doubting the club. We saw the vision. We saw the potential. We saw a club desperate to bring the glory back. And we said:
‘Yeah… we want to be part of that.’ That’s what makes this feeling special.
Because it’s one thing attaching yourself to success after everything is already built…it’s another thing helping rebuild the success yourself. That’s how you truly become attached to something forever.”
🚨 Thierry Henry on Bruno Fernandes winning PFA Player of the season over Declain Rice:
“Look, some people aren’t gonna like this and I don’t care……..it needs saying.
Players like Luis Suárez, Gareth Bale, N’Golo Kanté, even Mohamed Salah in certain years, have won this award without reaching the level Bruno Fernandes is at right now in the Premier League.
He’s been absolutely outstanding. For me, he’s one of the most underappreciated players in this league…” Arsenal fans can hate all they won't but I don't care because I am not a hypocrite.
I can’t find words to fully express my feelings for you @Casemiro so I will just wish you and your family every happiness in the future. We will never forget you. Not ever. @ManUtd
🎙️ Pep Guardiola on Michael Carrick potentially becoming Manchester United manager:
“There comes a point in a man’s life where you must stop competing because your body and mind cannot take it anymore. Look at Jurgen [Klopp] He escaped. Smart man.(laughs)
People think the Premier League is normal football. No. This league eats your soul. I suffered against Klopp for years. Now Mikel Arteta, my own student, gives me headaches every season with Arsenal… and now they want to add Carrick too? For what?
Sometimes I sit alone and genuinely ask myself: how did Alex Ferguson survive this league for 26 years? Because after 8 or 9 years here, your hair starts disappearing, your energy disappears… everything disappears.
And somehow Ferguson did it for over two decades. Impossible.”
🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra on Michael Carrick leaving Casemiro and Benjamin Sesko out against Sunderland:
🗣️ “For the people asking why Michael Carrick completely left Casemiro and Sesko out of the squad against Sunderland, and then played Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes in deeper roles…
For me, it was a message to the board.
A clear message that this squad can start a project, but it still cannot take Manchester United to the highest level consistently.
People were shocked by the lineup, but sometimes managers make decisions to expose the reality of the squad.
Do you think Carrick doesn’t know Casemiro improves this team? Of course he does. But maybe he also wanted the club to see what this team looks like without certain leaders and experienced players.
I know fans always want to see the strongest XI, but sometimes a manager has to make a bigger point than just winning one football match.”
Uncle Casemiro did something no Premier League Player has done in the last 20 years. He also 9 goals as a Defensive Midfielder this season. This is too good be his last!

🚨🗣 Patrice Evra on Sir Alex Ferguson vs Pep Guardiola:
“Listen, forget all this talk about Pep Guardiola being the greatest Premier League manager. Sir Alex Ferguson had to go to war every single season against real fighters, Wenger, Mourinho, Benítez, even Mancini. Those guys wanted to kill you, not just finish second.
Pep? He’s only had to face Klopp and Arteta, two serial runners-up who get close every year but never actually win the league. It’s like my boss was fighting lions, while Pep has been fighting house cats.
So, shut up and show some respect to the real King!”

@tylerperry is laughing to the bank at the price of destroying our community through this terrible new show that every black people are talking about. This show only promote violence, unstable marriage, drugs and homosexuality.
They are really trying to destroy our youth and feminised men. Be careful what you promote because this is how we destroy our youth ourselves #SadStory #ProtectOurChildren
🚨BREAKING: Hakimi on Afcon decision:
“My mum told me to reject the AFCON trophy. I'm officially rejecting the trophy and hope my teammates do the same. We had a chance to win it but we failed to win it. That's football, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Senegal beat us fairly and deserved the win. It will be unfair to ruin their joy after the hardwork they put in. I respect the CAF decision but I'm officially rejecting the trophy. I didn't win 2025 AFCON. Congratulations to Senegal once again.”
This is what football should be about❤️🔥
🇸🇳 Senegal coach Pape Thiaw has taken the AFCON trophy to a military base today.
It's now secure in a facility under armed guard.
A clear message to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) that they aren't giving this up.
It’s time for the 53 African nations to back Senegal and stand with our brothers in order to overturn this immoral decision. 🤝🇸🇳
Algeria fully recognises Senegal as the champions of Africa. 🇩🇿
@CAF_Online is a joke in the biggest sense. Africa deserves better and the corruption needs to STOP. @MORROCO will never know what it is to lift a trophy and this is a shame for football. I don't know who was paid to do this or threaten to be exposed but this is a pure and big joke in my humble opinion.
Although AFCON rules state walking off or refusing to play for a prolonged period is grounds for elimination, the decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON title two months after their trophy lift is a bad look for CAF.
It should be within the power of the officials in real time to disqualify a team, but it's a hollow victory for Morocco to appeal and win in this manner, weeks after the trophy lift.
Morocco accepted Senegal's return from their 10-minute walk off, gladly resumed play and took their penalty.
Missing it, losing the game, then appealing to gain the trophy doesn't sit right, even if by the letter of the law there are grounds to do so.
🚨Didier Drogba Chelsea Legend on Morocco winning the AFCON
Things like this only happen in Africa. I’m not sure this would happen in the Euros. It’s a disgrace to Africa and football. A country like this shouldn’t be allowed to host football tournaments again. Senegal is the real winner we all know.
🚨Sadio Mane OFFICIAL Statement:
What happened has gone too far. This is not the football we fight for, not the Africa we believe in.
There is too much corruption in our game, and it’s killing the passion of millions of fans across the continent. Players give everything on the pitch, but decisions off it are deciding matches and trophies.
I’m deeply disappointed not just for Senegal, but for African football as a whole. We deserve better. The fans deserve fairness, transparency, and respect.
