      How Man Utd could line up against Aston Villa in Carabao Cup with Erik ten Hag out for revenge after 3-1 thrashing

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are set to name a strong starting XI when they take on Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.The Red Devils suffered a humiliating 3-1 defeat to Unai Emery’s side in the Premier League on Sunday.
      Man Utd could look like this against Aston Villa tomorrow
      And Erik ten Hag has vowed to not go easy on Villa as he seeks instant revenge tomorrow.
      David De Gea is likely to start between the sticks after becoming one of the Dutchman’s favourites.
      He could be protected by a back-four of Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Diogo Dalot – who is suspended for the weekend trip to Fulham.
      In midfield, Fred and Scott McTominay are both pushing for important roles.

      And Bruno Fernandes is set to return as United’s No10 after missing the 3-1 defeat to Villa through suspension.
      Provided they both came through today’s final session with no problems, Antony and Jadon Sancho could return on the flanks.
      And Anthony Martial is likely to lead the line ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo after making his return from injury off the bench on Sunday.
      But Ten Hag could yet throw a few curveballs to keep Emery and Villa guessing.

      Another way United could look against Villa
      On-loan Newcastle goalie Martin Dubravka could finally make his United bow.
      And Lisandro Martinez could be retained in defence after an impressive start to life at the club.
      Christian Eriksen is another who could be kept in order to pull the strings from deep.
      And should there be problems for Antony on the right wing, Alejandro Garnacho could get a go.
      Finally, Marcus Rashford could be an option for the left if the game also comes too soon for Sancho. More

      Osimhen, 23, has emerged as one of Europe’s top forwards this season with eight league goals in just 10 appearances.
      Tottenham are thought to be weighing up a move as doubts linger over Harry Kane’s future.
      But the Manchester Evening News claims United are also preparing to join the race in 2023.
      Boss Ten Hag has made no secret of his desire to bring in more attacking options.

      Cristiano Ronaldo is unlikely to stay past the end of his contract next summer.
      And reports claim former side Sporting Lisbon could even move for him in January.
      That makes the addition of a new forward a priority.
      Osimhen boasts same physical and technical prowess as current United strikers like Marcus Rashford.

      But Ten Hag will have to pay through the nose for Napoli’s star man, with the Italians themselves forking over £70million for Osimhen in 2020.
      Another name thought to be on United’s list is Bayern Munich’s Eric Choupo-Moting.
      Despite flopping in the Premier League with Stoke five years ago, he has since gone on to win numerous trophies with Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain.
      At 33 years of age, Choupo-Moting would likely only be a quick fix.

      ‘They crumble at the end’ – Man Utd legend Gary Neville says high-flying Arsenal will flop in title race

      by

      GARY NEVILLE has savaged Arsenal’s title hopes by predicting they will ‘crumble’ and finish well behind Manchester City.The Gunners are leading the way at the top of the table but that’s not stopped people from doubting their credentials.

      Mikel Arteta’s side are currently two points clear of Manchester City in the race for the trophy but Neville can’t see them challenging the current holders all the way until the end.
      On The Overlap he said: “The only thing Arsenal have proven in the last few years is that they crumble at the end of the season, until I see that they don’t, I’ll still have that doubt. Why would I not?
      “Manchester City will win the Premier League by 10-15 points this season.
      “I’ve seen it before when you’ve got a team that’s so exceptional, we had that a few times with Manchester United when I was playing, where you just know a team just hasn’t got it in them to go all the way to challenge the top team.
      READ MORE ON ARSENAL
      “If Arsenal do that, it will be unbelievable, and I want City to be pushed, but it won’t happen.’
      Neville will be referencing Arsenal’s collapse from last season which saw them lose out on Champions League football as they lost seven of their last 12 matches.
      However, so far this season the Gunners have looked a lot more resilient.
      The North London side have won 11 of their 13 Premier League fixtures this term, drawing one and losing one.

      Amongst the wins, Arsenal have earned impressive results against Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham.
      Although these wins have not filled Neville with the confidence that they will continue to lead the way at the top of the table.
      He added: “I watched the first half of the Chelsea and Arsenal game – I didn’t see much of the second half, but Arsenal’s first-half display was fantastic.
      “The authority they had on the game, they looked by far the better team and it was a proper performance from Arsenal.
      “I saw Manchester United at Stamford Bridge a couple of weeks ago and they were nothing like that.
      “Chelsea aren’t in the strongest of moments, but Arsenal are doing everything right in this moment of time.
      “Last season we had our reservations about Mikel Arteta, but we wanted to be proved wrong because I like the manager and his style of football.
      “We have 25 matches left in the season, with the massive disruption of the World Cup, but I do see Arsenal getting in the top four this season.

      “If Arsenal lose a couple of games and the teams below you win those games, the pressure now ramps up and that is when we’ll find out if Arsenal can handle the pressure.
      “The big moment will come in February and March where we will see what Arsenal are made of.”

      Telles responded to the news by breaking down in tears as he sat on a sofa next to his wife Priscila Minuzzo, who offered support.
      The Manchester United star, who is on loan at Sevilla, appeared to wipe away tears before hugging his partner.
      But fans noticed something else rather strange about the video – the presence of a Christmas tree.
      Many felt it was weird for Telles to have his tree up so early since Christmas is weeks away.

      However, Santos has revealed Ronaldo will keep on playing until his physical level finally drops.
      In 2020, Santos told TVI24: “Cristiano is ready to play until he’s 40, but he doesn’t know if it will happen.
      “At some point he may feel that he no longer has the same conditions.
      “He’s not a player who will lower his level, when he feels like he can’t be Ronaldo, he won’t.”

      Ronaldo was surprisingly handed the armband as the Red Devils slipped to a 3-1 defeat at Villa Park on Sunday.
      He has started each of United’s last four games but it appears Erik ten Hag is happy to let him leave at the beginning of next year.
      A report this week has also claimed that a return to Sporting Lisbon could be on the cards.
      The veteran is also preparing for what will most-likely be his last World Cup with Portugal this month.

      But one thing is for certain, Ronaldo is not planning to retire any time soon – and his incredibly detailed fitness regime makes that all possible.
      In 2020, Ronaldo revealed his desire to play until he’s 40 after celebrating his 35th birthday.
      Quizzed on how long he can keep going, the Portuguese icon told Marca: “Much will depend on what I feel, on my motivation.
      “Physically it will never be a problem.
      “I am treating myself well and I think can play safely up to 40 years.
      “The most important factor, honestly, will be more psychological – that will be the one that makes the difference.
      “In any case, everything has a beginning and an end. I won’t last a lifetime but I still feel strong enough to continue winning. I will stop if I have no incentives.” More
