2021-11-10 19:30:42 Victor Osimhen : "I did receive contact from Manchester United but I felt I was not ready to be on the sidelines at this time of my career. I saw it with Wilfred Zaha and Ighalo. Am not saying anything otherwise about the club, it is just that I want to play and further improve rather than stay on the bench." Open / Comment

2021-11-10 17:31:03 Paul Parker has urged Ole to strip Maguire of his captaincy.

“Manchester United gave Harry Maguire the captain’s armband too early,” Parker said.

“It surprised a lot of people, it didn’t make any sense and it hasn’t been a good fit from day one.

With captains, it isn’t about who has the biggest transfer fee or who’s the best player. There’s much more to it than that.

He isn’t the right player to be a captain of Manchester United at this moment in time and he has a lot in his game that needs rectifying.” Open / Comment

2021-11-10 10:59:01 Edinson Cavani on his injury time :

“The issue was like this. Before starting the season, I had discomfort in the tendon. It made me spend a couple of weeks out until I began to gain some minutes [on the pitch] in my team.”

“I had to go back to the national team, always with a bit of pain, but with the hope that it would disappear. It was improving but, after Tottenham, it started coming back. They are difficult injuries.”

“And I decided to have the treatment so that it does not continue to get worse, and to recover as soon as possible to be fit for my team and the national team.” Open / Comment

2021-11-09 22:00:09 Jesse Lingard is back on West Ham’s radar for a January transfer and is understood to be opening up again to the prospect of leaving #mufc. It is expected that new proposals will now be seriously considered by his representatives.

Lingard had hoped to work his way back in at #mufc but will now seriously consider an exit. Newcastle could offer competition in terms of signing him while there may be offers from abroad too, but he would favour a return to East London.

Jesse Lingard is out of contract at the end of this campaign and signals so far suggest he is unlikely to be signing a new deal, even though #mufc would like him to.

2021-11-09 20:00:05 Multiple sources say that Jadon Sancho has been very attentive to his early issues and is working hard to get up to speed. He is aware adjustments are required in a new league and is applying himself to the cause in each session and coaches were impressed by Sancho repeatedly looking to get beyond the last defender vs Man City and not letting his disappointment show when team-mates failed to find him.

When asked by a team-mate the reason for his apparent shock after the game against Newcastle United on September 11th, Jadon Sancho is said to have replied that the pace of the game was something to behold. "Get used to it," was the message back.

Coaches have tried Sancho as a right wing-back in sessions in recent weeks and, with Wan-Bissaka’s attacking ability in question, Solskjær may yet turn to the tactic against teams expected to sit in should he continue to use the 3-4-1-2 system.
