Joshua Van admits Joe Rogan calling his first win over Alexandre Pantoja an “accident” bothered him:
“I ain’t even gonna lie, man... It was kind of f***ed up he said that, but much love to Joe Rogan. He’s a legend.
I don’t really give a f*** what other people say, but Joe Rogan is somebody that I look up to. For him to say that, it’s kinda like, damn.
He doesn’t have to apologize. I just let him know how I feel.”
Mauricio Ruffy defends his teammate Alexander Volkanovski after Arman Tsarukyan said he can't wrestle:
🗣️ Arman: "We need someone to teach Volk how to wrestle first."
🗣️ Ruffy: "You gotta respect a champion like Alexander Volkanovski."
🗣️ Arman: "Nobody said I don't respect him, I just said he doesn't know how to wrestle."
🗣️ Ruffy: "After all the storied history he's built in the UFC, everything he's done even with Islam, you're gonna tell me he doesn't know wrestling? Ok bro." #UFC331
🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra says he doesn’t understand Manchester United anymore:
🗣️ “Manchester United is confusing me right now. 😭
The moment you start Dalot at right-back, you start missing Mazraoui. Then, the moment you start Mazraoui, you start missing Dalot. 😭
The moment you start Shaw, you miss Dorgu. Then you start Dorgu, watch him play for 15 minutes, and suddenly you’re missing Shaw again. 😂
The moment you play Cunha as a false nine, you complain that you miss Šeško. Then Šeško starts, and suddenly you’re missing Cunha and saying Šeško is playing against Manchester United and just walking around. 🙆😂
And it gets even crazier with the managers.
The moment you sack the manager you thought was the problem and hire the manager you thought was the solution, that’s when you suddenly start missing the manager you wanted gone.
At this point, I think we just miss whoever isn’t playing.” 😂😂
It's the shock in the words and faces this morning of all these fans and journalists who told us we were negative to call out what was coming months ago that gets me. How didn't they see it? Was so obvious it was going to go tits up quick. And the scary thing is it'll get worse
🚨Shea Lacey on his conversation with Benjamin Šeško during Manchester United’s 3-2 Carabao Cup defeat to Brighton:
🎙️ Reporter: “Shea, we saw you speaking to Šeško several times during the game. What were you telling him?”
🗣️ Shea Lacey: “I was telling him I needed more movement from him. I was getting into good positions on the right and putting balls into the box, but sometimes I looked up and there was nobody attacking the space.
I told him, ‘When I get the ball here, don’t wait for me. Start your run early. Attack the space between the centre-back and the full-back.’
Because if I have time to look up, I can put the ball into that area. But if you’re standing behind the defender, I have nowhere to put it.
I wanted him making those runs because Brighton were leaving space behind their defence. I knew I could get the ball there, but I needed him to attack it.
It wasn’t me blaming him. I was trying to help him understand where I wanted him. We’re both young, but we have to communicate.
If I’m going to keep crossing the ball, I need my striker to give me something to aim at.
That was all I was asking from him.”
Against Man City — Bruno Fernandes created a scoring chance for Mbeumo to level Man United up but he spurned it
Against Brighton — Bruno came on and within minutes created an opportunity for Rashford to equalize the game yet it was wasted too
You lot need to understand that without Bruno, this team is Everton level!!!
🚨 Bruno Fernandes on what he told Diogo Dalot at full-time.
🎙️REPORTER: Bruno, emotions are obviously high after that defeat. What did you say to Diogo Dalot at full-time?
🗣️BRUNO: I went straight to Diogo after the whistle. I told him honestly, “Diogo, you were terrible tonight. That is not defending at Manchester United level.”
🎙️REPORTER: That sounds very harsh. Why did you say that to him?
🗣️BRUNO: Because we cannot keep making the same mistakes and pretending everything is fine. We were 2–0 up and somehow allowed Brighton to come back and eliminate us. As defenders, you have to take responsibility in those moments.
🎙️REPORTER: So you think Dalot was one of the main reasons United lost?
🗣️BRUNO: I’m not putting everything on him. We win together and lose together. But I told him exactly what I saw. Some of the defending tonight was nowhere near the level required to play for Manchester United.
🎙️REPORTER: What was his reaction?
🗣️BRUNO: He didn’t say much. I think he knew I was angry. But I’m not saying it to destroy him. I’m saying it because we have to demand more from each other.
🎙️REPORTER: Would you say Dalot needs to improve defensively?
🗣️BRUNO: Absolutely. At this club, being good going forward is not enough. You have to defend. You have to fight. You have to protect the result. Tonight, we didn’t do that.
🎙️REPORTER: Do you regret confronting him immediately after the match?
🗣️BRUNO: No. I’d rather tell my teammate the truth than smile in his face and complain about him behind his back.
🚨 Michael Carrick: “This was not acceptable. I take responsibility for this defeat”.
“The performance towards the end of the second half, that's on me”.
