      Man Utd legend facing FA charge after ‘furious tunnel-bust up’ with referee over Matthijs de Ligt drama

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED chief Darren Fletcher faces an FA charge after claims of a fiery tunnel bust-up with officials.United were furious as defender Matthijs de Ligt was ordered off the Old Trafford pitch in first-half stoppage time with blood on his head and face.Matthijs de Ligt sustained a nasty head injury and blood poured down his faceCredit: RexDe Ligt left the field for treatment but was sent back to the sidelines as the ref felt it was not patched up enoughCredit: GettyEthan Pinnock scored for Brentford while De Ligt was off the fieldCredit: GettyDarren Fletcher supposedly confronted the ref in the tunnelCredit: RexThis was the result of an earlier injury which medics had twice tried to patch up.As soon as De Ligt left the field, Brentford scored from a corner, sparking outrage with manager Erik ten Hag and No 2 Ruud van Nistelrooy booked for protesting.Van Nistelrooy continued his protests down the tunnel, while former United midfielder and technical director Fletcher waited inside where he allegedly verbally confronted ref Sam Barrott and fourth official Gavin Ward.The FA will now await the referee’s report before deciding whether to take further action.READ MORE ON MAN UTDUnited came back to win the game with Alejandro Garnacho scoring just after the break and Rasmus Hojlund getting a 62nd-minute winner.Yet Ten Hag was still fuming with the ref’s decision after the game.He raged: “It was dry blood so he was already treated for the injury.“I didn’t understand why he was sent off.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS“I went over to Matthijs and he said, ‘It is dry blood and I have to come off I don’t know why’.“It was a huge moment because Brentford is very good at corners and you are missing one of your best headers.”Man Utd star Rasmus Hojlund slammed as ‘rubbish’ and ‘poor’ by Ben Foster for injuring team-mate in trainingMan Utd player ratings vs BrentfordBy Neil CustisMANCHESTER UNITED produced a rousing comeback to beat Brentford at Old Trafford.Goals by Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund cancelled out Ethan Pinnock’s first-half opener.The Red Devils’ win will ease pressure on beleaguered boss Erik ten Hag, who this week defiantly blasted reports that he is on the verge of the sack.On a crucial afternoon for Ten Hag and Co, here’s how SunSport rated each United performer.ANDRE ONANA – 6Did not have much to do for a lot of the game but pulled out a good first-half save to deny Christian Norgaard.DIOGO DALOT – 6Good display from right-back and almost capped it with a goal when he stormed forward only to have his effort beaten away by Mark Flekken.MATTHIJS DE LIGT – 6At the centre of the controversy in first-half injury time as he had to leave the field with a bleeding head wound when Brentford scored from a corner. He was already looking suspect, as was the bandage that was put on his head early in the game in the first place.JONNY EVANS – 7Continuing an amazing end to his career at Old Trafford. Man of the Match last time out in the goalless draw at Aston Villa and looked solid again. Great ovation when he came off towards the end.LISANDRO MARTINEZ – 7Shifted to an unaccustomed left-back spot but without problems and was particularly good getting forward down the flank.CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN – 6Chosen alongside Casemiro instead of new buy Manuel Ugarte who was on the bench again, but struggled to get into this game although he was involved for Hojlund’s goal. Thankful for the referee’s whistle in the first period calling play back for a foul after missing a sitter.CASEMIRO – 5Looked like he was off in the summer but back in the team although looking to be missing a yard and often beaten to the ball.MARCUS RASHFORD – 7Does not operate as well on the right but Garnacho was so good down the left. Highlight of his first half was an incredible crossfield ball from right to left to set up Garnacho. Then in the second he provided the assist for Garnacho’s leveller.BRUNO FERNANDES – 7Tried to orchestrate something from midfield but looked a frustrated figure in the first period. Then he showed his class after the break with that great little flick to set up Hojlund for his goal.ALEJANDRO GARNACHO – 8Had an all action first half after switching from the right to the left but wasted too many chances. Made up for it in the second with a fine finish from Rashford’s cross in a Man of the Match performance.RASMUS HOJLUND – 7After getting one in Porto to open his season’s account he is now off and running with his first league goal of the campaign. A cool, clever chipped little finish it was too. The hope will be that starts a much needed run of goals but he needs to see more of the ball.SUBSTITUTESJoshua Zirkzee (for Hojlund, 74) – 5Strange change to make after Hojlund had just scored. His replacement fluffed the one half chance he had.Victor Lindelof (for Evans, 89) – 6A change that largely gave the fans a chance to acclaim Evans’ performance.Manuel Ugarte (for Casemiro, 88) – 6A change that probably should have come earlier.

      QPR are rock bottom of the Championship after yet ANOTHER defeat… but here’s why they should NOT sack Cifuentes

      by

      MARTI CIFUENTES performed an almost near miracle in keeping QPR in the Championship last season but he is coming under pressure at Loftus RoadThe Spaniard’s side — after a summer of optimism — sit rock bottom with one win from the opening 10 games.Marti Cifuentes has come under pressure at Loftus Road after a poor startPortsmouth’s win leaves QPR rock bottom of the ChampionshipAnd the Rs fans’ misery was compelled by going in front at Loftus Road on Saturday before losing to a Portsmouth team who had not yet won a game.Some QPR fans are beginning to cite Cifuentes as the problem.Some accused him of not having much of a game plan, being too confusing with his messaging and tactics — while others blamed chief executive Christian Nourry and head of recruitment Andy Belk for signing too many players this summer.They made nine signings and allowed 12 to leave.READ MORE TOP FOOTBALLThe last point is a valid one. QPR had great momentum at the end of last season — winning five of their last eight games, including a thumping 4-0 win against Leeds which effectively ended their automatic promotion hopes.QPR had found a winning formula under Cifuentes — and you do often wonder why you would fix something that was not broken?But Nourry wanted to rebalance the squad this summer, thinking more long-term in the club’s approach, and in doing so go for one that has more depth.The club went for younger players they believed would grow with the them or that they could sell for a profit at a later date, to enable them to be competitive in a division with some big-hitters.Most read in ChampionshipDespite having former Premier League pedigree themselves, QPR are not in the same ball park at Leeds or Sunderland or West Brom.FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSThey have not exactly been getting hammered this season.But, as things stand, they have not been able to get across the line in games — apart from Luton — and drawn four times already.Former Watford and Gillingham hero Andy Hessenthaler shares crazy EFL story after being attacked by the owner I What the EFL?!My concern is they are not looking clinical enough in the final third — only scoring 10 in as many games — but more worryingly they have been leaky at the back. Eighteen goals conceded so far does not make good reading. They have to tighten that up or a relegation battle will be inevitable.Lots of clubs talk about an ethos and identity … and of course that is important.Yet football is about winning. It doesn’t matter how you win, there are plenty of different ways to do that. Pep Guardiola did not reinvent the wheel at Manchester City with tippy-tappy.But the be all and end all is the three points.QPR fans have not seen enough of that in recent years. They have instead witnessed too much chop and changing at the top.Cifuentes tries to get directions across to his QPR players at Loftus RoadQPR chief executive Christian Nourry wanted to rebalance the squad this summerThey were unfortunate that ex-boss Michael Beale proved to be fake in his sincerity on wanting to grow alongside the Rs when ultimately he couldn’t wait to get his coat on to dash up to Ibrox as soon as Rangers came calling. He proved a disaster there and was terrible at Sunderland too – and his reputation in the game is in tatters as a result.Had he stayed at a club that was a far better fit for him, I reckon they might have been challenging around the play-offs now. It’s not so inconceivable they might have done a Luton and got into the Premier League.His mate from his Liverpool coaching days, Neil Critchley, turned out to be an awful appointment and unfortunately Gareth Ainsworth’s style of football wasn’t a good fit at Loftus Road.Cifuentes is a good fit though. He knows what he is doing. He has good clear ideas and the players are on side with him.They mustn’t make the mistake of sacking him now and having more change at the top.He kept the club up last season and will do it again. But the be all and end all has to be winning first, building the culture and ethos second.It’s a two-pronged approach that has to go hand in hand – because relegation to League One doesn’t bare thinking about for the West Londoners.Wilder threatens love-in with rival Leeds CHRIS WILDER was gushing in his praise for Leeds … despite fans constantly singing “Dah, Dah, Dah ..
