- Qatar obviously wanted to be present in the World Cup trophy pictures, hence putting that black bisht on Messi. But just made for an weird, unnecessary look amid a sea of blue + white sporting shirts. It should be a moment for the players, not the host. Grossly indulgent.
- Casemiro used by Erik ten Hag at Wolves to convey instructions. Seemed quite a detailed conversation about attacking runs at 70mins during break in play. Casemiro went to Marcus Rashford first, then Antony Martial. Rashford scored 6mins later. #MUFC theathletic.com/4047820/2023/0…
- Exc: Jonny Evans is to stay at Manchester United after agreeing new role on staff. Evans will look after youth loans, helping place players at clubs + offering them support through the process. Taps into his expertise as an academy graduate ⬇️ #MUFC
- #MUFC fans sing, "Ooh, Joshua Zirkzee" as he warms up by their end. He gives them a wave of acknowledgment.
- Manchester United have agreed a £30m fee with West Ham for Harry Maguire. Personal terms not expected to be an issue. Maguire had wanted to stay at #MUFC but chance of regular games, given England status, has proved compelling. @TheAthleticFC
- Manchester United statement: “We are aware of images and allegations circulating on social media. We will not make any further comment until the facts have been established. Manchester United does not condone violence of any kind.” #MUFC
- VAR intervention on Casemiro made more questionable by no action on Bella-Kotchap handball. He clearly obstructed Rashford’s cross with his arm. Should have been a penalty. #MUFC
- Wow, what a way for Amorim to say goodbye to Sporting. His team go ahead in the 90th minute with a great strike by Harder (another substitute). Then Harder adds another to make it 4-2 on 95mins. 11 wins out of 11. Amorim submerged by his players. Wild scenes. #MUFC
00:00 - Told all now agreed on Lisandro Martinez to Manchester United. Fee sorted with Ajax + personal terms finalised. Hope is he can join United for part of pre-season tour in Australia. #MUFC @TheAthleticUK
- Cristiano will be banished from first-team squad after refusing to come on against Tottenham Hotspur. #MUFC statement confirms he won't be part of Chelsea squad. @TheAthleticUK understands he won't train with seniors either. Erik ten Hag's call.
- Quietly, Alejandro Garnacho has gone 19 starts in a row. Erik ten Hag keeps picking him because he’s delivering in the attacking third in most of his appearances. Still 19 years old, he has really matured this campaign. #MUFC
