She took her path, I took mine, and that’s it. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”As for the other thing (the lawsuit), everything is in court, where it should be, and we are waiting..”At the time we discussed what we needed to discuss, but it was clearly her decision, everything is fine and she is within her rights.”Mac Allister believes it was Mayan’s decision to publicise the fallout of their relationship, but refuted the claims of being unfaithful.He added: “I think it’s normal in a relationship; she made the decision to come out and make public things that she felt or that she believes happened, but I know how things went and that’s why I’m very calm.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSThe former Brighton star has revealed he and Cova are planning a future together, saying: “We are well, happy, building our life there in England, enjoying life together.”However, Mayan’s lawyer Ignacio Trimarco said earlier this year that his client did not want to publicise anything about their break-up and claimed it came from Mac Allister’s side.Ex-Liverpool star John Arne Riise shows what he is made of on the training pitch Speaking on ‘Intrusos’ (América TV) at the end of July, he said: “The mediation is closed, but there was no agreement. “The lawsuit has been filed for some time and the case started more than a year and a half ago.”From our side nothing was said; it became known from the other side because Camila does not want to publicise this situation. “What she asks for is confidential like any family case, but it is financial compensation.”In this case [the amount requested by Mayan] will be determined by a judge based on the evidence presented.”The figure is calculated as a percentage of the income earned by the former Brighton star during the years he was with Mayan.Trimarco added: “There is controversy with this law, but it is a law that has been passed by Congress and applies to all couples, whether they are with an idol like a world champion, or a businessman with business outside the country.”This law has to do with protecting the weakest part of a couple that has not formalised a marriage. “It is a law that applies and is in force and applies to anyone who has lived together for more than two years in a public, notorious and peaceful manner. “Moreover, the claim has to be initiated within six months of the end of the relationship.”Mac’s mum speaks outMac Allister’s mother, Silvina Riela, added: “We are handling it in the best way. We have answered the lawsuit and everything is on track. Everything is on track as it should be in the courts, as she herself said.”We are calm because we always deal with the truth and we believe in justice. Besides, we know that the laws are set up so that this progresses in a good way.”Asked about the media coverage of the case, she added: “It’s part of the game. “They are exposed and it’s part of what you have to face or deal with. That’s all. “We have people who are with us, professionals, so we think it’s going to go the best way.”READ MORE SUN STORIESMayan is an influencer who boasts more than 1.6 million followers across TikTok and Instagram.Mac Allister has played 17 games for Liverpool under Arne Slot this season, scoring one goal.

      Man Utd legend Paul Scholes reveals the player who sent him into retirement after Sir Alex Ferguson ‘mistake’

      by

      MAN UTD legend Paul Scholes realised he had to retire for the final time after Gareth Bale ran him ragged.Scholes initially called time on his illustrious playing career at the end of the 2010-11 season after winning the title for the 10th time.Paul Scholes says he ‘knew it was the end’ for his playing career after being exposed by former Tottenham star Gareth BaleCredit: YouTube/ The OverlapScholes has revealed that he felt exposed by Gareth Bale when he came out of retirementCredit: News Group Newspapers LtdBut the Old Trafford ace was tempted out of retirement just seven months later to help Sir Alex Ferguson’s injury crisis at the time.After returning in January 2012, Scholes went on to play for another 16 months before eventually hanging up his boots for the final time in May 2013 at the age of 38.But Scholes revealed it was a “mistake” to agree to return and “knew” it was time for him to step aside after a particularly humbling afternoon against Spurs star Bale.Bale had become one of the most devastating players in the Premier League and would soon join Real Madrid in a deal worth £85m.READ MORE FOOTBALL NEWSScholes told Football’s Greatest podcast: “I actually thought the first time I retired would be the end.”I came back for six months originally and then the manager wanted me to stay for another season and I think that was a mistake.”I think it was the first home game of my last season, against Tottenham. I remember I didn’t actually play that badly but I remember playing against Gareth Bale.”Now this could have happened to me when I was 21 but he was just starting to burst and he was flying.

It was a mistake to play that season.”Bale scored in Tottenham’s 3-2 win at Old Trafford in 2012, a game which convinced Scholes he should retire for good.Scholes would play in Ferguson’s final home game as manager of United – but he wasn’t all that keen.He added: “It was a special moment (to come on for his final game) but I didn’t really want it, I wanted to go away quietly. “I didn’t even want to play the last game and even that confirmed I was doing the right thing.”Ranked by his peers as one of the finest midfielders of his generation, it’s not hard to imagine why Ferguson requested for one of his favourites to come out of retirement.

      ‘He should get a job somewhere else,’ fumes Roy Keane as he blasts Man Utd star for gesture after goal

      by

      ROY KEANE has blasted Alejandro Garnacho for his refusal to celebrate his goal against Leicester.The winger was on the end of criticism from a Manchester United fan outside of Old Trafford before the Europa League clash against PAOK.Alejandro Garnacho had a muted celebration after scoring against Leicester in Man Utd’s 3-0 winCredit: AlamyRoy Keane had a passionate response to the lack of celebrationIt sparked a passionate debate between himself and Ian WrightGarnacho, who was named in the starting XI for that game, went over to takes photos and write autographs for fans before the clash.However, one fan who recorded the interaction told him: “You’ve got to pass better today, yeah please? Pass better today, score a goal, and work on your first touch as well.”The 20-year-old responded by saying: “Why aren’t you playing?”Then during the next game against Leicester, Garnacho came off the bench to cap off a 3-0 win with a stunning finish into the top corner.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut Garncho had a muted celebration following the goal, with captain Bruno Fernandes explaining: “Garnacho scored a banger but didn’t celebrate like he should because he thinks he has lost faith from some fans. “I told him people will always moan but lots of people like you and enjoy what you do.”I told him to celebrate, it was something special. He is a special player, we have difference makers. “They are the ones who win us games. We want them to score every game but that isn’t going to happen.”Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHowever, the Argentine’s lack of celebration has sparked fury from some former stars, including Red Devils legend Keane.Appearing on the Stick to Football podcast, brought to you by Sky Bet, Keane and co were asked: “What advice would you give to young players when they get hassled by their own fans?”‘That is so disrespectful’ says fans as Alejandro Garnacho snaps back in altercation with Man Utd fanIn response, the 53-year-old fumed: “If you can’t celebrate a goal, there is something drastically wrong with this game. “Whatever has gone on off the pitch for any player – it could be family stuff – you work all week, you’re playing the game to score a goal.“When you score a goal, there should be nothing else on your mind. You’ve got fans who have travelled, paid fortunes to get there, and he’s on about people having a go at him.”Ian Wright was more compassionate towards the youngster, saying: “For a 20-year-old, he’s still going through the journey of what he’s doing. “That [fans’ criticism] affected him to the point where he didn’t celebrate. That’s how much it affected him. He scored a great goal, but he’s worried about that. “It’s the saddest thing in the world when someone scores and they don’t celebrate because of something that has happened.”Man Utd ratings v LeicesterHere’s how SunSport’s Martin Blackburn rated the Red Devils.ANDRE ONANA – 7Stood tall when Ndidi went through on goal and a decent tip round the post from Ayew as Leicester tried to get back in it.NOUSSAIR MAZROUAI – 6Lucky to escape tackle on Buonanotte without any punishment. Supplied the cross from the left which led to United’s second goal.MATTHIJS DE LIGT – 6Made a key second half clearance when the Foxes were trying to find their way back into the game. Fairly comfortable afternoon for home defenders.LISANDRO MARTINEZ – 7Spent the first hour at centre half then showed his versatility by switching to left-back when Dalot was forced off.DIOGO DALOT – 6Did a steady job keeping the Foxes at bay but then taken off on the hour – presumably due to injury as United had to reshuffle their defence.CASEMIRO – 7Better from the veteran Brazilian who helped United take command of the game before getting the chance to put his feet up late on.MANUEL UGARTE – 6Great challenge on Soumare showed what he is all about and some signs he is finding his feet. Will be looking forward to arrival of former boss Amorim.AMAD DIALLO – 7Delightful backheel for Fernandes to curl home the opener and could have scored himself. The Ivorian has had a good week.  BRUNO FERNANDES – 8Presented with a shirt to mark his 250th appearance before the game and will be getting more plaudits for his performance here. Involved in all three goals.MARCUS RASHFORD – 5Given the nod to start ahead of Garnacho but did not do enough to justify the faith of Van Nistelrooy. No surprise when he was replaced by the Argentine on the hour.RASMUS HOJLUND – 5A largely ineffective afternoon for the Danish forward before he was subbed late on. Nothing wrong with his work-rate but does he have the quality Amorim will want?Keane added: “People make sacrifices to travel to watch Man Utd, he scores a brilliant goal, they are having a tough time – and if a younger player can’t enjoy scoring a goal for Man Utd, then get a job somewhere else.”If I’m working in a factory someone would give me stick in the factory.”You want a player to celebrate with the fans… Don’t listen to that idiot, there’s them f***ing idiots everywhere. But when you score a goal that should be gone in that moment.”If he’s going to be upset with that, get a different job.”Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man UtdWHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes Jordan Davies.Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers. The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won’t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.Wright argued: “He’s probably playing in anger. He can’t not think about it [the fans’ criticism].”An impassioned Keane continued: “You’ve scored in front of 60-70,000 fans. He’s probably under pressure from outside sources. “Every player is under pressure from family, for tickets, your performances, your fitness, your contract.”There’s all sorts of pressures on players but for that moment, or for that weekend when you’ve scored a goal, you should be going, ‘Whatever happens for the rest of my life, if it finishes tonight, I’m going to enjoy this moment’.”Wright concluded: “He’ll probably get that as he gets older, he’ll learn from this experience and he may never do that again. READ MORE SUN STORIES”But I don’t think he’s wrong to do that, because you know what the sad thing is that he didn’t celebrate for himself. And that’s because somebody affected him.”Garnacho is Man Utd’s top scorer this season with seven goals in all competitions. More
