2022-02-07 17:04:31 Wayne Rooney on playing Chelsea in 2006: "Until my last game for Derby, I always wore the old plastic studs with the metal tip. For that game I changed them to big, long metal ones – the maximum length you could have because I wanted to try and hurt someone."

“John Terry left the stadium on crutches. I left a hole in his foot and then I signed my shirt to him after the game… and a few weeks later I sent it to him and asked for my stud back." Open / Comment

2022-02-07 14:41:21 Dortmund enquired about buying Diogo Dalot in August and Roma asked about him in October. Atletico Madrid also asked for signing him in January - the response was similar to the one #mufc received after enquiring about Jose Gimenez four years ago : no chance.

During his loan move to AC Milan, Dalot was was in regular contact with Paolo Maldini who advised him on what to do to play at the top for a long period. Concerning his defending, #mufc hope he improves on his agility, mobility and power in one-on-ones.

During his loan move, Dalot did a lot more training without the ball than at his previous clubs, under a defensive coach who encouraged him to study tactics. He also began working with a nutritionist which helped him gain muscle strength.

2022-02-07 12:48:17 Wayne Rooney reveals he usually drink during his Manchester United days :
.
"I had made a lot of mistakes when I was younger, some in the press and some not in the press, whether that's fighting or whatever,
.
"For me to deal with that, deal with stuff that was in the newspapers, deal with the manager at the time, deal with family at the time, was very difficult.
.
"In my early years at Manchester United, probably until we had my first son, Kai, I locked myself away really. I never went out.
.
There were times you'd get a couple of days off from football and I would actually lock myself away and just drink, to try to take all that away from my mind.
.
"Locking myself away made me forget some of the issues I was dealing with. It was like a binge." Open / Comment

2022-02-07 02:00:02 Rangnick has recruited German journalist and broadcaster Raphael Honigstein as a personal media adviser until the end of the season. Honigstein has taken a six-month sabbatical from The Athletic to provide advice and briefing notes to Rangnick.

Rangnick brought in Honigstein due to the volume of media interest in his appointment and the fact he negotiated his move to #mufc without an agent, meaning he has lacked external advice.
