      ‘Big problems’ – Rooney slams Amorim’s Man Utd tactics as he says Europa League final would only ‘paper over cracks’

      by

      WAYNE ROONEY fears Manchester United’s Europa League form is “papering over a lot of cracks”.And the Red Devils’ all-time leading scorer says there are big problems at Old Trafford which need to be solved — and soon.Wayne Rooney has had his say on Man Utd’s formCredit: RexRuben Amorim has deployed a three-at-the-back systemCredit: RexRuben Amorim’s men hope to seal a place in the final by defending their 3-0 lead against Athletic Bilbao in Thursday’s semi-final, second-leg tie at Old Trafford on Thursday.United are the only unbeaten side in Uefa competition this season, and lifting the trophy in Spain on May 21 would earn them a place in next season’s Champions League.Yet their form in the Prem has been in stark contrast and Amorim’s 15th-placed side slumped to their 16th defeat of the season in the 4-3 loss at Brentford on Sunday.Rooney — who lifted the Europa League trophy as United captain in 2017 — said: “I feel like getting to the final is papering over a lot of cracks.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”There are big problems at Manchester United which need solving quickly.”The former England striker’s son Kai is in the academy at Carrington, so he is a regular visitor to the training HQ.Rooney admits he finds it odd that Amorim is sticking to the three-at-the-back system which has been exposed countless times in the Premier League.And it is even more puzzling because United’s Under-23s are not doing the same — meaning the players who step in to the first team are not ready.Most read in Europa LeagueCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSTyler Fredricson is one of the Man Utd youngsters to have stepped in during recent Prem gamesCredit: RexKai Rooney is coming through the ranks at Man UtdCredit: X / MUnitedFRVideosRooney, who hit 253 goals for United, added: “The second team are playing with a back four, which I found strange.“A lot of those players have come into the first team now but they’re getting their game time with the Under-23s or 21s yet they play a different system.Ruben Amorim will go all out to secure Europa League glory for Man Utd “For me, that’s a bit confusing. It’s strange as you play a back five, or a back three, to put pressure on the ball — otherwise it keeps coming back through the midfield.“Brentford caused United a lot of problems from the wide areas — and United didn’t really have the intensity.”However, the Red Devils’ Europa League hopes have been given a big boost, with Athletic Bilbao’s two star men missing training on Monday.Winger Nico Williams and top scorer Oihan Sancet were both absent as Ernesto Valverde put his players through their paces.Neither forward featured in the goalless draw with derby rivals Real Sociedad in San Sebastian on Sunday night.And it remains touch and go whether they will be passed fit to fly to England tomorrow ready for Thursday night’s return leg in Manchester.Valverde knows there is little margin for error if his team are to perform a miracle and come back from 3-0 down.Williams, who is a summer target for Arsenal, has just returned from a hamstring problem and was subbed late on in the defeat to United with a new injury.Read More on The SunSancet has missed the last couple of weeks with a muscle problem and is viewed as doubtful.Defender Dani Vivian is also unavailable after his controversial first-half red card in the first leg.Athletic Bilbao were left dejected after last week’s first legCredit: AP More

      Harry Kane finally ending trophy ‘curse’ should silence sniggers and could open floodgates… with World Cup glory next?

      by

      THE fact that Bayern Munich chose to make Harry Kane official poster boy of their newest Bundesliga triumph should represent the moment the sniggering stops.Kane looked as awkward in the club’s portrait of their dinner-suited title winner as he did wearing lederhosen after his arrival in Bavaria.Harry Kane has ended his career trophy droughtCredit: PANow Kane has the medal, it might open the floodgates for club and countryCredit: APBut the England skipper, 31, fits Bayern like a glove on the pitch, where it matters.And with that first trophy finally tucked away, the absence of which saw Kane unforgivably mocked by many who would dream of a fraction of his talent, it is time for the striker to be widely celebrated as a brilliant ambassador for English football.You can understand why Kane, who stays off the beers apart from a two-week summer window, partied with his team-mates, posting a video of the squad singing along to Queen on Sunday.When Kevin Keegan left Liverpool for Hamburg, he was praised for his bravery and ambition.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLLikewise when David Platt headed for Serie A, Steve McManaman and Michael Owen swapped Merseyside for Madrid, while David Beckham also joined Real.Yet with Kane’s move to Munich, there seemed more scorn and derision, especially when they blew up under the pressure of Bayer Leverkusen’s relentless run last term.It was as if it was Kane’s fault that Tottenham fell short, when the truth was he was the reason they got so close.That he was a living, walking “curse”, an albatross round the neck of every team he played for. Utter bilge, of course.Most read in BundesligaBEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERSKane scored 36 of Bayern’s 94 Bundesliga goals last season, only surpassed in the German top-flight’s history by Gerd Muller and Robert Lewandowski, 44 in all competitions.They were ahead in the Champions League semi with Real Madrid when Kane was replaced late on.Harry Kane celebrates with Bayern team-mates after FINALLY winning a trophyAnd when England stuttered and stumbled their way through Euro 2024, guess who got the blame?That Kane was not his real self was evident — the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak. Gareth Southgate’s belief that Kane’s nerve would hold in the big moments was a factor — just remember how he slammed home the semi-final penalty against Holland.Yet there were plenty who wanted time called on Kane’s Three Lions career, strip him of the armband and give the starting shirt to Ollie Watkins or Ivan Toney.Those voices have been silenced now. Thomas Tuchel could not have been firmer in signalling his faith in the man he signed for Bayern, while Kane has been Munich’s stand-out player once more.Statistics can be used to make any point you want. But Kane’s numbers are the ultimate argument.His list of England scoring records alone are remarkable… most goals, most competitive goals, most goals in major tournaments, most goals as captain, most goals for a single manager. Just for starters.Fitness permitting, with maybe five more years in his tank, including three tournaments, Kane is on course to become the first player to score 100 goals for England.He left Spurs having overtaken Jimmy Greaves as the club’s all-time top scorer, just 47 adrift of Alan Shearer’s Prem record mark.Now he has the medal to prove he is a winner. It might open the floodgates — for club and country.That Shearer tally, too, is one he will be desperate to topple.One more year in Germany, another title, then lead England to World Cup glory, before plenty of suitors back home will be ready for a guaranteed source of goals.Kane does not have to win the Prem. But if anybody deserves to, it is England’s greatest striker.Gone MadJUST as he saw light at the end of the tunnel, Ange Postecoglou realised the injury train was hurtling towards him again.Losing both Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison was a bigger blow than Bodo/Glimt’s late strike in N17 on Thursday.Spurs now travel to the Arctic Circle without two key men. Good job they are renowned for their courage in big games.James Maddison is out for Spurs’ second leg of the semi-finalCredit: GettyCole-den BoyCOLE PALMER claimed he was not bothered by the “trolls and idiots” who have questioned him over the past three months.That’s fair enough. The Chelsea forward, 22, was going through a blip, the first of his career, so it was always a matter of time before he emerged.Yet his response rekindled memories of how Fernando Torres blamed everybody else for his problems after a £50million move to Stamford Bridge from Liverpool in 2011.After breaking his own 18-game Premier League scoring drought, the Spanish striker refused to talk to the media because of the repeated reporting on his lack of goals.Cole Palmer was back amongst the goals as Chelsea beat LiverpoolCredit: GettyGuard of HorrorARNE SLOT’S selective deafness at Stamford Bridge on Sunday signalled another reason Liverpool’s title triumph has been relatively well-received — other than in SW6, that is.The raucous boos of Chelsea supporters, even as their players began to line up to give the new champions a guard of honour, might have seen Slot have a dig.Instead, the Dutchman claimed not to have heard it.Read More on The SunWhile Kop fans rightly revered previous boss Jurgen Klopp, his managerial style alienated plenty of rival supporters.Slot has been far more low-key during his triumphal campaign.Never doubt the determination of the quiet man.Chelsea fans booed the guard of honourCredit: Reuters More

      Crystal Palace 1 Nottingham Forest 1: Visitors’ Champions League race blow as hosts close on first 50-point season ever

      by

      NOTTINGHAM FOREST’S slump continues – yet their Champions League fate remains in their nervous, sweaty palms.Nuno Espirito Santo’s Forest began April in third and 10 points clear of sixth, daring to dream of welcoming Europe’s big dogs to their beloved City Ground.Eberechi Eze scored the opener from the spotCredit: ReutersMurillo netted Forest’s equaliserCredit: ReutersBut last night’s salvaged point away to Crystal Palace sees them with just one win from their last five Prem outings – Murillo’s 64th minute deflected flick cancelling out Eberechi Eze’s VAR-awarded penalty on the hour mark.Forest are now sat in sixth and two points off fifth-placed Chelsea and fourth-placed Newcastle with three games remaining.That epic final-day showdown against the Blues still leaves Forest in control of their own destiny, requiring a perfect end to the campaign before then at home to relegated Leicester and away to West Ham.There is also the added ingredient of Enzo Maresca’s Londoners visiting St James’ Park this weekend.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLBut it should never have come down to this, and Forest only have themselves to blame for nearly letting it slip.Oliver Glasner’s Palace, with an FA Cup final to look forward to later this month, are just four points shy of their best-ever Prem points tally, and could have been even closer thanks to a sizzling display by Eze – fresh from winning £15k in an online chess tournament last week.But this was all about Forest and their ability to check-mate themselves out of nowhere.Nuno made a tactical switch from Thursday’s 2-0 defeat at home to Brentford, dropping Ryan Yates and giving injury-plagued Ibrahim Sangare his first Prem start since August. Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSThe other change was enforced – Callum Hudson-Odoi’s hamstring issues pushing Elliot Anderson out wide and Nicolas Dominguez filling in.Palace went with the same XI that battered Aston Villa at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-finals last month, and Selhurst Park did its best to recreate that atmosphere in south west London.Top 10 highest paid footballersMatz Selz gave away the penalty that led to Palace’s goalCredit: RexMurillo was forced off late in the match with an injuryCredit: GettyIn reality, Forest’s nerves had sapped the energy from their legs from the off. The hosts could smell that fear and hesitation. A bombardment of Forest’s box with several corners one after another had Nuno’s boys scrambling for a breather.The FA Cup finalists were enjoying themselves, perhaps a bit too much as Tyrick Mitchell almost headed past his own keeper when dealing with a long ball but for an acrobatic reaction stop from Dean Henderson.With a place amongst Europe’s finest on the line, Forest were alarmingly flat. Palace were lacking intensity and quality too, but at least they had an excuse of having one eye on Wembley.Needing to win, Forest were playing like a team terrified to lose.Palace sparked into life in the 34th minute – Sarr connecting with Mitchell’s looping back-post cross forcing Matz Sels into his first save.VAR could have livened things up with Chris Woods taking a tumble in the box under contact from Daniel Munoz five minutes before the break, but the briefest of checks allowed referee Andy Madley to play on.Nuno’s half-time talk could have been so different had Anthony Elanga finished a fine move involving Dominguez and Wood instead of firing straight at Henderson – classic countering Forest from back to front.Not one for throwing teacups in dressing rooms, Nuno now needed his side to throw the kitchen sink at their opponents in search of a goal worthy of Champions League football.Wood should have delivered it in the 50th minute via another counter with a composed touch in the box only to watch his effort deflect just wide from the inside of Lacroix’s leg.Nuno sunk to his knees. A huge moment, especially as seconds before Sels had denied Sarr up the other end.The drama continued. Sarr’s brilliant cross picked out Mitchell in the six-yard box and the Eagles full-back was taken out – first by Dominguez and then by Sels.Madley waved away, but a VAR check was inevitable. The monitor confirmed Forest’s worst fears with Sels booked and Eze stood over the penalty.His finish was emphatic – his tenth in all competitions. His stuttered run-up had Forest players surrounding Madley, more out of desperation than anything else.Forest responded quickly, and with a huge slice of luck as Nico Williams’ driven effort from range was helped in by a stray Murillo leg.Palace pushed in the dying moments as Forest retreated.Maxence Lacroix headed just over. Eze curled one onto the bar from 25 yards and Eddie Nketiah had a goal ruled out for offside in injury time to send Nuno’s nerves into overdrive.Read More on The SunForest are alive, but there really is no more room for error.Palace however are now just four points shy of breaking the 50-point barrier in the Premier League for the first time ever.Nuno Espirito Santo’s side need to be near perfect to qualify for the Champions LeagueCredit: RexOliver Glasner could be the first Crystal Palace manager to win 50 points in a seasonCredit: GettyThomas Tuchel ran his eyes over the England hopefulsCredit: Alamy More
