      Man Utd fans fume after Diogo Dalot goes off injured in Carabao Cup clash against Charlton

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED fans were left fuming after Diogo Dalot went off injured against Charlton. The Carabao quarter-final clash had been going to plan after Antony’s stunning opener.

      But then Dalot was subbed off after picking up a knock just after the half-hour mark with Aaron Wan-Bissaka on his place.
      The 23-year-old is the club’s first choice right-back and now could potentially miss Saturday’s huge Manchester Derby.
      Some fans may have been surprised the full-back was starting the cup clash against League 1 Charlton, which Manchester United won 3-0.
      Other first-team stars like Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes had been removed from the starting line-up ahead of the weekend game, but Dalot was looking to build match fitness after a recent knock.

      The injury left United fans both fearful and annoyed.
      One panicked supporter tweeted: “Dalot injured in such a bad time! Too many matches to play.. Already vdb [Donny van de Beek] injured for long term!”
      Another United follower said: “Dalot injured ffs. Need a right-back asap. I still don’t think we’ll get top 4 due to our lack of depth.”
      While a third fan said: “Dalot’s injured? I ain’t watching.”

      And another complained: “Dalot injured. Honestly can’t catch a break with injuries this season man. City on weekend and we’re going to have to play [Wan-Bissaka].”
      Many fans also took note of the fact that after City, the Red Devils have difficult games against Crystal Palace and Arsenal to come.
      But not all fans from the red half of Manchester were doom and gloom.
      One said: “Dalot isn’t injured, Erik ten Hag just isn’t taking any chances.”
      If Dalot can not make the game against Manchester City, it is possible Wan-Bissaka may deputise in his absence.
      While the former Crystal Palace defender has been out of favour under ten Hag, he has started in all of United’s post- World Cup league games while Dalot recovered from a previous injury.
      He has been linked with a return to Selhurst Park this month. More

      Talks over major shake-up to English football that could change FA and Carabao Cups & see Community Shield played ABROAD

      by

      A MEETING will take place on Friday over a major shake-up to the English game that could see changes to the FA and Carabao Cup and the Community Shield played abroad.The country’s leading footy figures from the FA, Premier League and EFL are set for talks to thrash out a number of proposals made from top-flight clubs.
      The Community Shield could be set to be switched abroadCredit: The Times
      As reported previously, these include Premier League clubs looking into SCRAPPING replays in the FA Cup.
      This idea forms part of a “New Deal for Football”, which could also see sides competing in Europe play U21 sides in the Carabao Cup.
      The Times is also now stating that Community Shield could be switched from its traditional place as the season’s curtain-raiser.
      The game, which is contested between the Premier League champions and FA Cup winners, raises money for charities and grassroots projects.

      It usually occurs on the Sunday before the start of the top-flight campaign kicks-off – a time that big clubs are claiming disrupts their pre-season build-up and also affects the opportunities of lucrative overseas tours.
      Several alternatives have been offered regarding a date change – as well as playing it abroad in order to promote the Premier League globally.
      This fresh update says that “at least one club would like it to be an ‘All Stars’ game”.
      That would see “each Premier League team providing a maximum of two players and playing against the top stars from other European leagues” instead of its current format.

      Discussions will take place over ideas to potentially deliver £300million in extra funds to the EFL while also reforming parachute payments.
      The ideas all come after the government warned the Premier League must provide a major cash injection for the EFL with a new deal – or else be forced to do so.
      However, top-flight clubs have only agreed to about £160m so far. More

      And Charlton’s reward was a mouthwatering trip to Manchester United in the quarter-finals.
      However, before their ecstasy in the shoot-out, Addicks were left outraged when Ecuadorian left-back Estupinan, 24, attempted to cheat in order to con the referee into giving a penalty.
      As he saw Charlton star Rak Sakyi, on-loan from Crystal Palace, slip while trying to clear, the Brighton man darted towards the ball before taking an over-the-top tumble as he tried to force contact with the sprawling youngster.
      The 20-year-old looked completely puzzled as he saw Estupinan rolling around in apparent agony – but fortunately the ref was not convinced.

      And after a replay of the clip was shared on social media, fans have demanded that the FA take action.
      “Give him a 12 game ban, will soon stamp out the cheating,” blasted one, with another saying: “Hands down cheating. Couldn’t be simpler.”
      Another claimed: “Everything that is wrong with the beautiful game. Give me 80’s football any day!”
      Another tweeted: “That’s a disgrace!!! Need to start getting this out of the game. Long bans will do the job!!!”

      The father of the City fan said his daughter had to have her head glued after being struck by the pint pot “weighted with coins”.

      Fans all say the same thing as Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney spotted at Man City vs Liverpool Carabao Cup clash

      by

      FANS worried Wayne Rooney had got lost after he turned up at Etihad to watch the two Prem clubs he most wanted to beat.The Manchester United and Everton legend saw Man City KO Liverpool 3-2 in a Carabao Cup cracker.
      Wayne Rooney didn’t give any clues as to why he was watching two of his big rivals with this expression in the Etihad stands
      Perhaps this is the Rooney thinking that many fans were too polite to suggest
      The only certainty is that the former England skipper wasn’t Christmas shopping – as his two old Prem rivals are of course way out of the DC manager’s league for transfer targets.
      And this fan got to the point: “WTF is Wayne Rooney doing here?!”
      Another said: “Wayne Rooney lost or something? watching man city vs Liverpool ?”
      The longest shot seemed to be this: “Maybe Rooney is a Man City fan now.”
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      But that wasn’t the most intriguing suggestion.
      One observer perhaps remembered Rooney’s son Kai had been spotted in a City hoodie last year – for which the United academy whizkid was teased by Old Trafford legend Rio Ferdinand.
      The fan posted: “For those that don’t know, his son is a City fan.
      “So fair play to him, this is actually him being a good dad to take him to watch City. Never thought I’d say that about him but this is actually such a moment.”

      Judging purely on the moment Rooney was pictured, he didn’t look too happy or excited to be there.
      But, just like he could with the ball at his feet on the pitch, perhaps he bursts into life in the stands at unpredictable moments.
      He should have left feeling entertained, though, as Pep Guardiola’s men and Liverpool both looked in good nick ahead of the Prem resuming at Christmas.
      Second-placed City have the longest wait before visiting Leeds on Wednesday.
      Before that, on Monday, Liverpool travel to Aston Villa and Rooney’s old club Everton host Wolves.
      Inbetween those dates, Nottingham Forest go to Old Trafford on Tuesday.
      The Red Devils will fancy their Carabao Cup chances even more after being drawn at home to League One Charlton in the quarter-finals.
      The other three clashes are all-Prem ties.
      Southampton entertain City, Forest are at Wolves and Newcastle face Leicester at home. More
