    Man Utd injury updates
    Manchester United ace Jadon Sancho is likely to miss the rest of the season after spending the night in hospital with tonsillitis.
    But the good news for interim manager Ralf Rangnick is that captain Harry Maguire may return before the end of the campaign.
    Rangnick told the BBC: “Harry Maguire might be available again. We have to wait and see if he can train the day after tomorrow [Wednesday].”
    Rangnick added: “”If [Sancho is to return] then maybe in the last game.
    “I was in contact with him this afternoon. He was in hospital until this morning so he only returned back home today. He still doesn’t feel well so, for sure, not [vs Brighton]”
    Lingard’s brother vents
    Manchester United ace Jesse Lingard’s brother Louie Scott slammed the Red Devils for failing to give his sibling a proper farewell after the Brentford match.
    Jesse’s contract runs out in June and he is expected to leave Old Trafford after a total of 21 years.
    He posted on Instagram: “20 years of blood sweat and tears, four domestic trophies, three cup final goals, not even a farewell.
    “No wonder it’s Conference League next year”

    Gard of honour
    Manchester United ace Jesse Lingard has been linked with a move to Juventus and AC Milan as his contract runs out in June.
    According to ESPN, the Serie A giants have both “registered their interest” in Lingard.
    Juve and table toppers Milan are “leading the chase” to land the England international, who becomes a free agent next month.

    More from Carragher
    Jamie Carragher insists Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick can’t combine his consultancy duties with those of being Austria’s boss.
    Carragher added: “Let’s not forget that Rangnick isn’t really a manager. He’s a director of football or someone who helps the coaches or builds a club.
    “And that’s the talk about the role he’s going in and I just don’t get that.
    “I don’t think you can be the manager of Austria and work for Man United. It’s one or the other”
    Wreck it Ralf
    Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick should not be working part-time as a consultant for the club whilst managing Austria.
    That is according to Liverpool legend and TV pundit Jamie Carragher.
    Carragher told Sky Sports: “That is wrong. That should not be happening.
    “The manager of Austria should not be working part-time for Man United, that is a nonsense”
    Juan and only
    Manchester United ace Juan Mata said goodbye to fans by spending several minutes in the rain with them.
    Mata spent “several minutes in the rain” posing for photos and signing autographs for supporters after the match.
    The versatile winger was soaked in the car park, spending time chatting and making memories with his admirers.
    It was the Spaniard’s first Premier League start of the season and could be his final game in United’s colours

    Got it Ron
    Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo has denied saying “I’m not finished yet” into the camera after Monday’s win over Brentford.
    Ronaldo appeared to mouth the words during a post-match lap of honour with his team-mates at Old Trafford.
    But now the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has insisted that was not what he said amid speculation over his future at the club.
    In response to an Instagram post about his message into the camera, Ronaldo replied: “I didn’t say that”
    Jur top, Klopp
    Manchester United incoming manager Erik ten Hag has got it easier than Jurgen Klopp did arriving in Liverpool, Jamie Carragher has claimed.
    Carragher said: “I think it’s very similar, really is.
    “Possibly a harder job for Klopp because the funds for any Manchester United manager will be a lot more than Klopp had when he came in.
    “There is talk about Liverpool and Manchester City being five or ten years ahead of United. I think that’s absolutely rubbish.
    “A top manager gets a top club back on track in a couple of years. That’s not saying to win the title or the Champions League but competing. Ten Hag has to get Champions League football next season [2023-24]”
    More from Fortune
    Former Manchester United ace Quinton Fortune opened up more about his time with Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford.
    Fortune added: “The guy came back a year later and no one ever pushed him off the ball again.
    “I was laughing last night, because when I saw him shoulder barge the Brentford defender, it just reminded me of this kid that arrived in Manchester with no physical strength at all.
    “He wants to show people that even at 37, he’s still got that strength. I was at the game last night, and that moment just took me back.
    “There’s no way any of us can take any credit for teasing him and making him a stronger player, that’s all down to him and his own determination”
    ‘He took it personally’
    Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo was teased about his lack of strength during his early years at Old Trafford, revealed former Red Devils player Quinton Fortune.
    Speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes at the launch of their 5-A-Side Bet on Brighton vs United, he said: “I was laughing at that moment last night before Cristiano won the penalty – he barged Rico Henry out of the way like he wasn’t there.
    “But Ronaldo, when he arrived at United all those years ago, we used to tease him about that part of his game.
    “We’d wind him up about his lack of strength, and he really took it personally. We’d tease him all the time in that first year, really getting under his skin”

    Ready to Va-Reign
    Manchester United star Raphael Varane says he does not regret moving to Old Trafford despite a miserable first season.
    Varane said: “The experience it’s amazing. The feeling to be a United player is something special.
    “I am very happy to play in the Premier League and it’s a great experience.
    “Obviously, it’s not the result what we expected but I’m still positive and I think that the next season will be better.
    “I think I need a full pre-season to be fit but I think next season will be better. I think this season was not bad but we can improve and we can do better”
    Can’t go Ron
    Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has vowed that Cristiano Ronaldo will be staying at Old Trafford despite all the rumours of a summer exit.
    Speaking to Stadium Astro after the match with Brentford, Rangnick was asked whether it was a ‘wave of goodbye’ from Ronaldo during his lap of honour.
    The German tactician said: “I don’t think why it should be a wave of goodbye.
    “He’s got another year of [his] contract. And as far as I know he will be here next season again”

    James Ward-Prowse reminder
    Southampton star James Ward-Prowse is the man incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag wants to run his new midfield, reports SunSport’s Phil Thomas.
    And that could spark a £75million summer tug-of-war, as Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is a big fan of Ward-Prowse and wants him to replace Fernandinho in the middle of the park.
    Ten Hag faces a major rebuilding job at Old Trafford and has already started put together a hit-list.
    And the Dutchman has got the okay to go for the midfielder with West Ham intent on keeping Declan Rice for one more season.
    The Hammers want a whopping £150million for Rice, too much for the Red Devils, who will almost certainly miss out on the Champions League next season.
    Yet Ward-Prowse, whose release clause is 50 per cent lower than Rice’s, is rated highly by Ten Hag
    Thomas Frank reacts
    Brentford manager Thomas Frank claims a “stupid mistake” sealed his team’s defeat against Manchester United.
    Frank said: “We made a stupid mistake for the penalty, that killed the game off.
    “I think Rico [Henry] is one of the best defensive full-backs this season. I don’t think I’ve seen a player go past him in a one v one situation.
    “Knowing [Ivan Toney], I know he’ll be disappointed. He had three good opportunities, maybe not for three goals but at least one. We know in a game like this, we need to take it but he couldn’t do it”

    All Premier League final
    An all-Prem Champions League final is the most likely outcome of this week’s semi-final second legs – at least, according to history and the numbers.
    Liverpool are firm favourites to progress at Villarreal this evening as they defend a 2-0 first leg lead over the LaLiga side.
    And despite Karim Benzema’s last-gasp penalty at the Etihad last week, the odds favour Manchester City withstanding their ordeal by Spanish fire at Real Madrid to ensure the fourth all-English affair in 14 years.
    Throughout the entire history of the Champions League, only five out of 21 teams have gone through after losing 2-0 away in the first leg.
    In addition, a staggering 76 per cent of teams who have won at home while keeping a clean sheet – 56 out of 74 – have progressed.
    And over the 30 seasons since the relaunch of Europe’s premier club competition, victory in the first leg has pointed the way to the eventual tie winner no less than 174 times out of 228
    More from Rangnick
    Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is “not completely happy” with his six-month stint in charge of the team.
    Rangnick added: “I’m not completely happy with those six months. “I expected us to qualify for the Champions League. That was the goal we had, but we were not consistent enough.
    “We had two or three breaks [in my time in charge]. One of them we had hardly any players there [due to coronavirus]. We were also not able to bring in any new players in January.
    “I would have hoped and expected we won more points. We could easily have had eight or 10 points more”
    Rangnick reacts to Brentford win
    Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who will undertake a consultancy role while juggling his duties as Austria manager, insists the club needs to strengthen in every position, except in goal.
    Rangnick told Sky Sports: “Apart from goalkeeping where we have three excellent goalkeepers in Tom Heaton, Dean Henderson and David de Gea, in all other areas there will be players leaving the club. I wouldn’t put focus on special areas of the pitch it should go through the whole team.
    “It’s obvious quite a few players will leave and there is a need for top-quality players. I strongly believe that if everyone works together we can bring Man Utd back to where we need to be.
    “Other clubs only needed two or three transfer windows to challenge but from now on we need to bring in top-quality players who really help raise the level. If this happens then I don’t think it should take too long”
    Milinkovic-Savic link reminder
    Manchester United are leading the race for Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic after his agent Mateja Kezman confirmed Old Trafford is his preferred destination.
    United are long-term admirers of Milinkovic-Savic, who could be available this summer as he refuses to sign a new deal with the Biancocelesti.
    And the Red Devils hold the advantage as the midfielder has his eyes set on competing in the Premier League.
    Quoted by Foot01, Kezman said: “Sergej has no shortage of offers for the summer transfer window.
    “At the moment we are dealing with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
    “He is focused on the end of the season with Lazio, but Sergej wants to go to Manchester”

    Chadwick gives Lingard opinion
    Ex-Man United star Luke Chadwick has given his view on Jesse Lingard’s absence from the club’s Old Trafford lap of honour which led to the attacker’s brother slamming the Red Devils.
    Chadwick said: “I think unfortunately that’s the way the game is at times. I’d assume his brother is quite close to Jesse so maybe that basically confirms he’ll be moving on at the end of the season.
    “But I’m sure if he stays in the Premier League he’ll return to Old Trafford and get the kind of reception that a local boy who’s come up through the academy deserves.
    “I don’t think it’s the be all or end all, he can be proud of what he achieved with United, whether he got a clap off the pitch at the end of it or not.”
    Ronaldo denies claims
    Cristiano Ronaldo has denied saying “I’m not finished yet” into the camera after Manchester United’s win over Brentford on Monday night.
    But now he has insisted that was not what he said amid speculation over his future at Old Trafford.
    In response to an Instagram post about his message into the camera, Ronaldo replied: “I didn’t say that.”
    Sancho will miss season remainder
    Jadon Sancho won’t play another game for Man United this season.
    That’s according to United interim boss Ralf Rangnick who revealed that Sancho’s injury will rule him out of contention for the season’s remainder.
    He said, via the BBC: “With Jadon [Sancho] it’s unlikely [he’ll play again this season]. He was in hospital until this afternoon.
    “Harry Maguire might be available again.”
    David De Gea defence
    Paul Parker has launched a passionate defence in favour of Man United keeper David De Gea.
    He told BonusCodebets: “We are seeing a lot of plastic journalists who are coming out saying that (Dean) Henderson is going to be the new goalkeeper, that Henderson should be the new goalkeeper.
    “They are calling David de Gea part of the problem.
    “He’s kept United in the game. The reason why United are still in the European spot is because of David de Gea.”
    “So there are ten outfield players as far as I can see, surely you don’t want your goalkeeper being the best football player on the pitch, do you?”
    What Man United need
    Man United should’ve made Antonio Conte their new manager, according to Fabrizio Ravanelli.
    But he reckons Ten Hag will do a good job if he can galvanise United’s youngsters and sort out the club’s defence that needs revamping.
    Ravanelli told SunSport: “If Conte had had the possibility to work with the Manchester United players, certainly it would have been easier for him to achieve certain results.
    “I don’t want to be nasty but honest. Without naming specific players, the whole defence should be changed completely. It needs radical change.
    “I truly believe with Erik ten Hag, a new cycle is about to start. He did really well at Ajax and enjoyed remarkable results.
    “He has always given great value to young players. If he starts working with the young players who understand what it means to play for United, they can make the difference and improve.”
    Raphael Varane on Ten Hag
    Raphael Varane is looking forward to working with Erik Ten Hag next season.
    Ten Hag takes the reins at United this summer.
    And Varane can’t wait for the Dutcham to arrive.
    He said: “I’m very excited to work with him. I’m looking forward to working with him.
    “I think he has good experience and he’s a good person to work in this club.”
    Artist unveils stunning Rashford mural
    A stunning mural for Marcus Rashford has brilliantly shown support for the Manchester United forward.
    Artist Reuben Dangoor has produced a fine piece of artwork on a wall in the Shudehill area of Manchester – revealing online abuse and highlighting praise for Rashford.
    The painting shows the Manchester-born ace in a Red Devils home shirt with his eyes closed and wearing a pair of Beats earbuds to block out the noise as part of the collaboration with the tech brand.
    On the left, above the term “form is temporary” sits below a cluster of angry emoji-style faces interspersed with raging tweets hitting out at Rashford.
    But the left, a lighter shade, has the opposite with happy, smiling, adoring and loving faces, coupled with love hearts and supportive tweets above the phrase “class is temporary”.

    And incredibly smug Man Utd legend Neville was quick to take to social media and post a clip of him laughing while sipping a glass of red wine.
    Nev and Sky Sports colleague, and Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher have regularly posted similar snaps to taunt each others over recent seasons.
    But rarely have they been left with egg on their faces so spectacularly as Liverpool stormed back to keep their stunning Quadruple hunt alive.
    Goals from Fabinho, Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane clinched a 5-2 aggregate victory to book a place in the final.

    So, as full-time approached, a glum Neville posted a new picture as he crouched over his beverage.
    Having already claimed the Carabao Cup, Liverpool are still in with a chance of also claiming the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

    But he did not add any words to the social media post, leaving many to sympathise with his current position.
    One said: “True fans always got you bro, you deserve much better.”
    While another added: “You should be in that team, if not they should have let you leave, it’s appalling.
    “You are actually the most modern forward in the squad, and have energy and intelligence.”

    But while Matic and Mata started the game against Brentford, Lingard failed to even come on as a sub.

    “Attacking players for celebrations when the clubs being sold to the super league OK.
    “Class of 92, Busby Babes, you’re ran by people who don’t even know the offside trap. Classless and the fans need to realise. Goodnight, godbless!

    “He still doesn’t feel well so, for sure, not [vs Brighton].”
    United had also been without Fred and Edinson Cavani in recent weeks, although both returned from the bench during the 3-0 win over Brentford.
    Jesse Lingard was also among the substitutes, but wasn’t brought on for an Old Trafford send off.
    The attacking midfielder’s brother Louie scathingly wrote on Instagram: “20 years of blood sweat and tears, four domestic trophies, three cup final goals, not even a farewell. No wonder it’s Conference League next year.
    “Attacking players for celebrations when the club’s being sold to the super league OK.

    Sport 1 claims Adeyemi will definitely join Dortmund for £32million on a five-year deal despite United’s last-gasp approach.
    Ralf Rangnick expressed his desire to see two new strikers join the club after last night’s 3-0 win against Brentford.
    And it’s believed he had earmarked Germany international Adeyemi for one of those roles.
    The 20-year-old has been in top form this term, scoring 17 goals in 26 league outings for his Austrian club.

    United, already without Mason Greenwood, will lose Edinson Cavani on a free transfer this summer.
    Meanwhile, there are also doubts over the futures of Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
    And Rangnick feels it’s imperative to strengthen the front line before examining other areas of United’s squad.
    But the German, who moves into a consultancy role to assist new boss Erik ten Hag, will have to look elsewhere.

    Adeyemi was reportedly unfazed by United’s contract offer, as he believes he has a better chance of developing into a top star at Dortmund.
    The Germans have a proven track record with young players, transforming Jadon Sancho, Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland into world-class talents.
    The latter is expected to depart this summer due to his £64million release clause, with Manchester City strongly linked.

    Matic was celebrating before Ronaldo took the penalty
    Ronaldo, who had a goal ruled out in the first half for offside, eventually got his name on the scoresheet 16 minutes into the second half after winning and dispatching a spot kick.
    But as he stepped up to strike the penalty, ESPN captured Elanga gearing up to sprint to the corner flag.
    And Matic could be seen with his arms in the air as Ronaldo began his run-up.
    Ronaldo rifled the spot kick home to hand Man Utd a 2-0 lead.

    He later denied that was what he said by responding on social media: “I didn’t say that.”
    Ronaldo still has one year left on his current Man Utd contract.
    However, there has been speculation that he could leave in the summer if he wants to continue playing Champions League football or Erik ten Hag does not see a place for him in his team.
    Meanwhile, Serbian midfielder Matic said his farewells to the Man Utd fans on Monday night after confirming earlier this month that he will be leaving when his contract expires in the summer. More

    Cristiano Ronaldo was teased by Man Utd stars who would ‘get under his skin’ for his lack of strength as a kid

    CRISTIANO RONALDO was teased about his lack of strength during the early years of his Manchester United career.That is according to former Red Devils star Quinton Fortune – who was a team-mate of Ronaldo’s for three years of his first spell at Old Trafford.

    The Portuguese superstar broke through as a somewhat diminutive winger after joining Man Utd from Sporting Lisbon in 2003.
    He would go on to work tremendously hard on his physique, becoming a hugely muscly forward by the time he left for Real Madrid in 2009.
    But Fortune has revealed that Ronaldo was on the end of some mockery about his strength issues before he began putting in the gym work – something which he showed in abundance against Brentford on Monday night.
    Speaking exclusively to Ladbrokes at the launch of their 5-A-Side Bet on Brighton v Man United, he said: “I was laughing at that moment last night before Cristiano [Ronaldo] won the penalty; he barged Rico Henry out of the way like he wasn’t there.

    “But Ronaldo, when he arrived at United all those years ago, we used to tease him about that part of his game.
    “We’d wind him up about his lack of strength, and he really took it personally. We’d tease him all the time in that first year, really getting under his skin.”
    Fortune continued: “The guy came back a year later and no one ever pushed him off the ball again.
    “I was laughing last night, because when I saw him shoulder barge the Brentford defender, it just reminded me of this kid that arrived in Manchester with no physical strength at all.

    Man Utd are ‘dealing with’ Milinkovic-Savic transfer, Brentford win, Ward-Prowse’ £75m EXCLUSIVE – latest updates

    MANCHESTER UNITED have been labelled as frontrunners to sign Lazio sensation Sergej Milinkovic-Savic this summer.The Serbian is heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford and his agent has now confirmed that United are one of the clubs that they are “dealing with”.
    Meanwhile, SunSport has exclusively revealed Erik ten Hag wants James Ward-Prowse to boss Manchester United’s midfield next season.
    But that could spark a £75million summer tug-of-war, as City chief Pep Guardiola is a big fan of the Southampton captain.

    Rangnick reacts to Brentford win
    Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick, who will undertake a consultancy role while juggling his duties as Austria manager, insists the club needs to strengthen in every position, except in goal.
    Rangnick told Sky Sports: “Apart from goalkeeping where we have three excellent goalkeepers in Tom Heaton, Dean Henderson and David de Gea, in all other areas there will be players leaving the club. I wouldn’t put focus on special areas of the pitch it should go through the whole team.
    “It’s obvious quite a few players will leave and there is a need for top-quality players. I strongly believe that if everyone works together we can bring Man Utd back to where we need to be.
    “Other clubs only needed two or three transfer windows to challenge but from now on we need to bring in top-quality players who really help raise the level. If this happens then I don’t think it should take too long”
    Milinkovic-Savic link reminder
    Manchester United are leading the race for Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic after his agent Mateja Kezman confirmed Old Trafford is his preferred destination.
    United are long-term admirers of Milinkovic-Savic, who could be available this summer as he refuses to sign a new deal with the Biancocelesti.
    And the Red Devils hold the advantage as the midfielder has his eyes set on competing in the Premier League.
    Quoted by Foot01, Kezman said: “Sergej has no shortage of offers for the summer transfer window.
    “At the moment we are dealing with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
    “He is focused on the end of the season with Lazio, but Sergej wants to go to Manchester”

    Chadwick gives Lingard opinion
    Ex-Man United star Luke Chadwick has given his view on Jesse Lingard’s absence from the club’s Old Trafford lap of honour which led to the attacker’s brother slamming the Red Devils.
    Chadwick said: “I think unfortunately that’s the way the game is at times. I’d assume his brother is quite close to Jesse so maybe that basically confirms he’ll be moving on at the end of the season.
    “But I’m sure if he stays in the Premier League he’ll return to Old Trafford and get the kind of reception that a local boy who’s come up through the academy deserves.
    “I don’t think it’s the be all or end all, he can be proud of what he achieved with United, whether he got a clap off the pitch at the end of it or not.”
    Ronaldo denies claims
    Cristiano Ronaldo has denied saying “I’m not finished yet” into the camera after Manchester United’s win over Brentford on Monday night.
    But now he has insisted that was not what he said amid speculation over his future at Old Trafford.
    In response to an Instagram post about his message into the camera, Ronaldo replied: “I didn’t say that.”
    Sancho will miss season remainder
    Jadon Sancho won’t play another game for Man United this season.
    That’s according to United interim boss Ralf Rangnick who revealed that Sancho’s injury will rule him out of contention for the season’s remainder.
    He said, via the BBC: “With Jadon [Sancho] it’s unlikely [he’ll play again this season]. He was in hospital until this afternoon.
    “Harry Maguire might be available again.”
    David De Gea defence
    Paul Parker has launched a passionate defence in favour of Man United keeper David De Gea.
    He told BonusCodebets: “We are seeing a lot of plastic journalists who are coming out saying that (Dean) Henderson is going to be the new goalkeeper, that Henderson should be the new goalkeeper.
    “They are calling David de Gea part of the problem.
    “He’s kept United in the game. The reason why United are still in the European spot is because of David de Gea.”
    “So there are ten outfield players as far as I can see, surely you don’t want your goalkeeper being the best football player on the pitch, do you?”
    What Man United need
    Man United should’ve made Antonio Conte their new manager, according to Fabrizio Ravanelli.
    But he reckons Ten Hag will do a good job if he can galvanise United’s youngsters and sort out the club’s defence that needs revamping.
    Ravanelli told SunSport: “If Conte had had the possibility to work with the Manchester United players, certainly it would have been easier for him to achieve certain results.
    “I don’t want to be nasty but honest. Without naming specific players, the whole defence should be changed completely. It needs radical change.
    “I truly believe with Erik ten Hag, a new cycle is about to start. He did really well at Ajax and enjoyed remarkable results.
    “He has always given great value to young players. If he starts working with the young players who understand what it means to play for United, they can make the difference and improve.”
    Raphael Varane on Ten Hag
    Raphael Varane is looking forward to working with Erik Ten Hag next season.
    Ten Hag takes the reins at United this summer.
    And Varane can’t wait for the Dutcham to arrive.
    He said: “I’m very excited to work with him. I’m looking forward to working with him.
    “I think he has good experience and he’s a good person to work in this club.”
    Artist unveils stunning Rashford mural
    A stunning mural for Marcus Rashford has brilliantly shown support for the Manchester United forward.
    Artist Reuben Dangoor has produced a fine piece of artwork on a wall in the Shudehill area of Manchester – revealing online abuse and highlighting praise for Rashford.
    The painting shows the Manchester-born ace in a Red Devils home shirt with his eyes closed and wearing a pair of Beats earbuds to block out the noise as part of the collaboration with the tech brand.
    On the left, above the term “form is temporary” sits below a cluster of angry emoji-style faces interspersed with raging tweets hitting out at Rashford.
    But the left, a lighter shade, has the opposite with happy, smiling, adoring and loving faces, coupled with love hearts and supportive tweets above the phrase “class is temporary”.

    Rangnick speaks on Ronaldo’s future
    Ralf Rangnick is adamant that Cristiano Ronalod will be at Man United next season.
    He told Stadium Astro: “Why should he say goodbye?
    He has another year of contract, as far as I know Cristiano will be here next season”
    Man United face transfer challenge
    Man United are reportedly facing competition in their pursuit of RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku.
    The Red Devils have been tracking Nkunku in the hopes of recruiting him this summer.
    But ESPN claim Bayern Munich plan to railroad United’s pursuit by tabling a bid of their own for the 24-year-old.
    Roy Keane on Ronaldo
    Roy Keane doesn’t understand why Man United would get rid of Cristiano Ronaldo.
    He said: “There might be a conversation that needs to be had about the way you are going to play or that you are not going to be playing week in and week out.
    “But why would you get rid of a player who scores that many goals? I don’t see the logic in it.”
    Varane speaks on first goal
    Rapahel Varane issued a rallying cry to Man United’s fans after scoring his first goal for the club.
    Varane scored United’s last goal in their 3-0 win over Brentford on Monday night.
    And Varane took to Instagram to share his joy.
    The defender said: “Yesss. What a special feeling to score my first goal for this amazing club at Old Trafford!!”

    Ronaldo ‘weak’ jibes revealed
    Cristiano Ronaldo used to get teased about his lack of strength during his first spell at Man United.
    The jibes made to Ronaldo were revealed by ex-United star Quinton Fortune.
    He told Ladbrokes: “I was laughing at that moment last night before Cristiano [Ronaldo] won the penalty; he barged Rico Henry out of the way like he wasn’t there.
    “But Ronaldo, when he arrived at United all those years ago, we used to tease him about that part of his game. We’d wind him up about his lack of strength, and he really took it personally.
    “We’d tease him all the time in that first year, really getting under his skin.”
    Cavani shares emotional fan moment
    Edinson Cavani made a fan’s night after the club’s Brentford win.
    The young United fan was in tears when she bumped into her idol Cavani.
    And Cavani was in good spirits as he hugged the youngster and signed an autograph.
    But it may be one of the last times the teenager gets to see Cavani in a United shirt with the striker set to leave Old Trafford this summer.

    ‘We need more strikers’
    Ralf Rangnick wants Man United to have a wider spectrum of strikers going forward to rival Liverpool and Man City’s attacking depth.
    He said to the club’s press: “If you look at, Liverpool and Manchester City, and look at their strikers, they have, in their squad, five or six top-class strikers.
    “Gabriel Jesus, until four weeks ago, he hardly played. Now he’s playing again regularly, I mean you look at the number of players they have and if you ask me in his career is he playing central striker or a winger? Is [Jack] Grealish a winger or central striker?
    “They’re all strikers and they can play in different positions. They can also switch, they can rotate.
    “Those kinds of players, we don’t have that many.”
    Get Rash in the bag
    Marcus Rashford has been urged to swap Man United for Arsenal in order to relaunch his career.
    That’s the view of football legend Kevin Phillips who said to Football Insider: “I can’t see him being valued at much – he just hasn’t done enough in the past year.
    “I think the biggest thing he needs to do is leave Man United. He needs to reignite his career and his passion for the game.
    “Arsenal can get him through the door with that £45million budget – that is far too much to spend on him, and I’d be negotiating that price down, for sure.”
    Ronaldo’s best position
    Ralf Rangnick has discussed Cristiano Ronaldo’s positioning.
    Rangnick said: “Cristiano is not a central striker, he also does not want to play in that position.
    “In order to not play central, you have to play with two strikers. But if you look at international football.
    “There are not many top teams who play with two strikers.”
    Ten Hag comparisions
    Gary Neville reckons Erik ten Hag’s job at Man United will be similar to when Gerard Houllier or Rafa Benitez took over at Liverpool.
    Not like Jurgen Klopp’s Reds’ transformation as claimed by Jamie Carragher.
    Neville responded to Carragher’s suggestion by saying: “I don’t think so. Jurgen Klopp’s done the most outrageous job at Liverpool but there was no set winners when he came in.
    “You’re coming now to Man United when these two and three managers [Pep, Klopp and Tuchel] are set in their jobs and their foundations are so deep.
    “The job that ten Hag has is absolutely huge. It’s more of a Gerard Houlier and Rafa Benitez job because they were taking on great managers.”
    Ten Hag tracks Hammers star
    Erik ten Hag wants to sign West Ham star Jarrod Bowen, according to reports.
    That’s according to Fichajes who claim the Dutchman has placed Bowen on the list of targets he’s compiled.
    Bowen could be joined at Old Trafford by Hammers pal Declan Rice who is also high on Ten Hag’s list.
    Rangnick on Ten Hag
    Ralf Rangnick has revealed that he’s yet to speak with incoming Man United boss Erik ten Hag.
    But he did admit that Ten Hag will make a number of changes when he does take over at Old Trafford.
    He said: “So far we haven’t been able to speak. Erik’s focus is on winning the Dutch league [with Ajax Amsterdam], our focus was on our games.
    “It’s obvious quite a few players will leave and there is a need for top quality players. I strongly believe that if everyone works together, we can bring Man United back to where we need to be.”
    Man United’s size decline
    Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Man United shows they’re now a small club
    That’s the opinion of Jamie Carragher who claims Liverpool would never try and re-sign Luis Suarez.
    Carragher told Sky Sports: “What would you do if you were ten Hag when you’ve got the biggest name in the world?
    “Would Liverpool bring back Luis Suarez? I don’t think they would. They should be bringing Haaland.
    “Man City are bringing him in. It made me think of Man United as a small club.”
    Ugly scenes at Old Trafford
    Man United and Brentford fans clashed in ugly scenes outside Old Trafford on Monday night.
    Riot police intervened as missiles were launched between the rival supporters.
    Video footage shows a group of United fans chasing Bees followers as they entered the away end of the stadium.
    Punches are thrown and flares ignite in the chaos.
    However, things were prevented from spilling over even further as stewards and security staff teamed up with police.
    They wore face masks and helmets to protect themselves from the smoke and objects thrown.

    Lingard set for Serie A?
    Jesse Lingard is set to leave Manchester United on a free and Juventus and AC Milan are favourites to sign him, according to reports.
    ESPN report that the two Italian giants have both “registered their interest” in Lingard.
    Juventus and table toppers AC Milan are “leading the chase” to land the England international.
    It would end a 20-year career at the North West club with 232 senior appearances.
    Lingard has barely featured under Rangnick after falling out of favour while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge.
    Lingard’s brother slams Man United
    Jesse Lingard’s brother has branded Manchester United as “classless” as he slammed the club for not giving the midfielder an Old Trafford send-off.
    He said: “20 years of blood sweat and tears, four domestic trophies, three cup final goals, not even a farewell. No wonder it’s Conference League next year.
    “Attacking players for celebrations when the clubs being sold to the super league OK.
    “Class of 92, Busby Babes, you’re ran by people who don’t even know the offside trap. Classless and the fans need to realise. Goodnight, godbless!
    “Been there since nine years of age and didn’t even get a send off!!! Well done bro your family are proud.”
