    Rangers Europa League clash intel has Malmo safety chief on security alert as rival fans pose risk ‘in negative way’

    MALMO security chiefs have expressed fears over fan trouble at their Europa League opener against Rangers.They have dubbed the game a ‘high-risk’ fixture – and are concerned visiting fans could link-up with, or even be infiltrated by, Swedish rivals.Malmo are preparing for around 2,000 Rangers fans to travelCredit: SNSThe visitors will be housed in this corner of the Eleda StadionFormer Celtic winger Sead Haksabanovic is now in the Swedish squadCredit: AlamyGers are due to take up around 2,000 of the Eleda Stadion for the 5.15pm kick-off.But officials at Malmo, where ex-Ger Filip Helander is a club favourite and ex-Celtic winger Sead Haksabanovic is in the first-team, are worried about the clash.They fear Helsingborg fans may pile in amongst the crowd and “present themselves in a negative way”.Malmo head of security Peter Narbe has claimed Helsingborgs have links to Rangers and could attend the game leading to a security headache.Speaking to Sydsvenskan, the Swedish safety chief said: “We know there’s a ‘friendship’ there. We are aware of that.“It is likely that there will be HIF supporters who bought tickets in the home section. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re behaving badly; it’s important to point out.”However he added: “There may be a risk that they want to present themselves in a negative way.”Malmo’s main football rivals are IFK Gothenburg but neighbours Helsingborgs are also old foes in the Skanederby – in the Scania region of Sweden.Most read in FootballTrouble flared between the two sets of supporters before a derby two years ago, leading to ugly scenes of running battles on the Helsingborg streets.Ross McCormack on borrowing Michael Mols’ boots for his Rangers debutMalmo have already stoked up the Europa clash by poking fun at their two previous meetings with the Gers saying ‘we’ve missed you’.Their social media video revisited their previous two encounters this century – in 2011-12 before Rangers were plunged into the fourth tier as a result of their financial woes.They also met three seasons ago when Antonio Colak put Steven Gerrard’s side to the sword – the manager left two months later, but under Giovanni van Bronckhorst Rangers reached the Europa League Final.Jon Dahl Tomasson also tried to rile up Rangers by claiming Gers needed the money at the time.Swedes v ScotsRANGERS must make history on Thursday night if they are to get their Europa League group campaign off to the perfect start.by Roger HannahGers have NEVER beaten the Swedes in four previous meetings – and have suffered three damaging defeats to them.Here, SunSport looks back on those games as Philippe Clement prepares to take his squad to Scandinavia for the opener on Thursday evening.Rangers 0 Malmo 1Champions League qualifier – July 26, 2011ALLY McCOIST’S champions suffered a shock home defeat as Daniel Larsson hit the only goal in the first-half at Ibrox.New boss McCoist, who had stepped up to succeed Walter Smith, stuck with the stars who had won the title at Rugby Park just two months earlier.But the loss of captain David Weir to injury shortly after Larsson’s goal was another blow and Gers couldn’t equalise.Malmo 1 Rangers 1Champions League qualifier – August 3, 2011NINE-MAN Gers were dumped out of the Champions League by Malmo in a bad-tempered encounter in Sweden.Nikica Jelavic’s goal had levelled the tie in the 23rd minute but red cards for Steven Whittaker and Madjid Bougherra hit McCoist’s side.The Swedes were reduced to ten men when Ferreira Ricardinho saw red but an 80th minute goal from Jiloan Hamad put the tie out of reach.Malmo 2 Rangers 1Champions League qualifier – August 3, 2021EXACTLY a decade after Gers’ elimination in Sweden, they returned to Malmo and suffered another damaging result.Soren Rieks and Veljko Birmancevic scored two goals in two minutes after the break as Steven Gerrard’s side wobbled.Steven Davis scored in injury-time to give Gers hope for the second leg at Ibrox – but more woe awaited them just days later.Rangers 1 Malmo 2Champions League qualifier – August 10, 2021ALFREDO MORELOS cancelled out Malmo’s first-leg after just 18 minutes and Gers fans believed they were on the way to victory.That feeling was fuelled when Malmo’s Bonke Innocent was sent-off in first-half stoppage time with the tie balanced on a knife-edge.But Gers collapsed in the second half and Croatian striker Antonio Colak – who would later sign for Gers – scored twice inside four minutes to send the Swedes through 4-2 on aggregate.He famously said, with a wry smirk: “Is the pressure on us or them?”Don’t you think that they need the Champions League’s money here? I think so.”I think they need that. I think that’s a good answer, isn’t it?”Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page More

It’s a different way of watching their games.”Twente brought me a lot, I was put through their academy, so for me a great deal of history there.”The Dutchman went on to admit that he is not a fan of the new Europa League format, adding: “There are too many games, too many competitions, it’s clear.”The players are overloaded, this is not good for football. Maybe it’s good for commercial.”As a club alone we can’t change this. It’s about clubs and players and coaches.”We have to work on this to improve the game and find the right balance. We are professional and revenues have to come, but we have to balance it out.”Man Utd ratings vs Crystal Palace as Andre Onana saves the day for wasteful Red DevilsMANCHESTER UNITED were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace as they missed a flurry of first-half chances.Erik ten Hag shocked fans this afternoon when he left Marcus Rashford out of his starting XI.And the Red Devils failed to make a breakthrough – dropping two more points.Here, SunSport’s Jordan Davies delivers his Man Utd player ratings…ANDRE ONANA – 8/10Had one save to make just before half time – a comfortable one from Eberechi Eze.And then, a worldie double save to keep out Eddie Nketiah and Ismaila Sarr, rivalling the one made by Arsenal’s David Raya in mid-week.NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI – 7One of United’s most consistent performers who continues to impress week by week. Strong in the tackle and great positioning to stop Palace counters.MATTHIJS DE LIGT – 7Lost an early duel with Jean-Philippe Mateta which put the Frenchman in but it was pulled back for a foul. Blamed his boots and changed them moments later.Unlucky with a brilliant header from a corner that was somehow kept out by Dean Henderson and made a superb last-ditch tackle to stop Eze in the second half.LISANDRO MARTINEZ – 6Another player who came close to scoring but for the brilliance of Henderson, swivelling and turning in the six-yard box with a stabbed effort.Lucky not to be sent off for a ridiculous two-footed lunge that narrowly avoided contact with Daichi Kamada.DIOGO DALOT – 7Played as a left winger for most of the first half, such was United’s dominance.Brilliant pick out only for Garnacho to hit the crossbar.KOBBIE MAINOO – 7Covered ground well and linked defence with attack. Drifted forward more in the second half without seriously threatening.An insane Cruyff piece of skill in the second half was worth the admission fee alone.CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN – 6Kept things ticking over and picked some nice passes at times but his lack of pace and physicality was evident.BRUNO FERNANDES – 7Tenacious in ensuring Palace’s midfield could not get a foothold in the game and grazed the top of the bar with a volley into the ground just before the half hour mark.Was United’s most creative player on the ball and should have had one goal to his name at least.AMAD DIALLO – 6Showed glimpses with some darting runs but never possessing the intent and aggression to force anything meaningful from it.ALEJANDRO GARNACHO – 7Had a personal battle with Henderson, one that he ultimately lost.Early chance to show it was the right call to start ahead of Marcus Rashford squandered – put through by Zirkzee but 1v1 effort palmed away by Henderson.Smacked the bar in a similar position from Dalot’s through ball and came close to knocking one in from close range.JOSHUA ZIRKZEE – 6Linked up well with Garnacho, dropping deep and slipping the winger in that should have led to the opener. Headed wide from a Diallo corner just before the break.Rightly subbed off on the hour mark as his influence waned.SUBS:MARCUS RASHFORD (ZIRKZEE, 61) – 6Did very little to convince Erik Ten Hag to throw him back into the starting XI, but was barely given the service either.MANUEL UGARTE (ERIKSEN, 76) – 6United certainly appear calmer and more solid with him at the base of their midfield.RASMUS HOJLUND (DIALLO, 76) – 6Still getting minutes back into his legs after returning from injury, but this is one of his more forgettable cameos.

    Meet Harry Amass, 17, who is in Man Utd Europa League squad and tipped to break through like Alejandro Garnacho

    MANCHESTER UNITED fans got their first real look at Harry Amass during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.The 17-year-old put in an all-action display in the 3-2 win against Real Betis – not only showcasing his no-nonsense defending but in getting forward to supply an assist for Amad Diallo.Harry Amass (centre, bottom row, holding pennant) started Manchester United’s friendly against Real Betis alongside the likes of Marcus RashfordCredit: GettyThe left-back caught the eye with his display against the LaLiga outfitCredit: GettyAmass has been heavily involved in first-team training this seasonCredit: GettyErik ten Hag reckons Amass could break through this season like Alejandro GarnachoCredit: GettyThe Londoner signed for United from Watford in 2023HOW DO THEY PLAY AND WHO DO THEY REMIND YOU OF? The 5ft 9in full-back is reminiscent of Luke Shaw in the way he patrols the whole left flank.Like Shaw he has a good understanding with the attacking players – not least Marcus Rashford on that left wing.And like Shaw he has a good delivery of the ball into the area as well.The player himself clearly likes the comparison as he mentioned while on tour.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLAmass said: “It is a good comparison. In my opinion one of the best left-backs in the Premier League, if not the best for a long time.”So I am not going to complain about the comparison.”TELL US ABOUT THEIR RISEThe Londoner joined Watford’s academy at the age of nine and United paid them compensation last year to take the highly rated youngster to Carrington to continue his development.United boss Erik ten Hag was so impressed he brought him into first-team training last February and Amass got a place on the bench for the FA Cup game against Liverpool.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSHe has represented England at Under-15, 16 and 18 levels, playing recently against Switzerland.WHAT ARE THE EXPERTS SAYING?Ten Hag believes Amass has similar potential to that of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo – and reckons he could make his senior breakthrough THIS season.Boy Wonders: Is Southampton star Tyler Dibling the new Grealish?Ten Hag said: “He is not that far away now at this moment. If we train him well, if we coach him well, then in three months it’s possible that he can be on that point.“In this moment he needs to catch up and he has to develop some skills to play for Manchester United, competing for the highest positions in the league.“But with big talent it can go up very quickly and that is very interesting to see if he is capable of doing this.“We all see here a potential like where we have seen in previous years, for instance Garnacho last season.“We had it during last season with Kobbie.”We all see here a potential like where we have seen in previous years, for instance Garnacho last seasonErik ten HagWHAT DOES THE NEXT 12 MONTHS HOLD?United clearly have concerns at full-back with the ongoing injury problems to Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, which is why they bought Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich. But Amass will provide further back-up.He showed in pre-season that he is not far away and the player himself believes he can break into the first team. Amass said: “My intention is to play first-team football at this club.READ MORE SUN STORIESBOY WONDERSREAD about some of our other Boy Wonders“I think if the opportunity comes, I’ve got to take it with both hands, it could change my career. I am just waiting for that moment, I am ready.”He is in the Europa League squad – he had to be named in it due to being at United for less than two years – and that might provide him with his chance if the Red Devils qualify before the end of the group stage.
