      by

      MAJA NILSSON dazzled fans by going offline and onto stripes.The wife of Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof posted snazzy snaps – one bra-less in a stripey outfit, another in a long dress – as she returned to England after a week on holiday and away from social media.

      And while her army of followers went all slushy with their comments, Maja admitted she was dreaming of solid snow.
      Instead of course the Swedish fashion entrepreneur, 30, was welcomed back by Storm Isha.
      But at least the Unicef ambassador was also greeted with a whirlwind of praise from fans, who called her “the world’s prettiest” and “just so beautiful”.
      It’s 11 months since Maja was “officially” named as the most attractive Wag in the Premier League.

      But sadly for Lindelof and Co, her formal rating of 9.7 out of 10 far outweighs any individual marks given to United’s players amid another mediocre season.
      And unfortunately for her husband, the Red Devils’ leaky defence means the only Nil he usually sees in the first half these days is in his wife’s surname. 
      Maja announced her comeback to these shores by posting glamorous pictures along with the words: “A week offline with my little family and friends.. time for England and hoping the SNOW IS STILL THERE!!”
      Warm responses included: “Always so good looking” and “so fine”.

      But there were a few chilly replies from spoilsports, who warned the influencer “nope, just rain” and “gale force winds”.
      Luckily for Maja, her following is a force of nature itself – as her total number of fans on Instagram has now swelled to the brink of 250,000.

      Why Mason Greenwood ‘will be top priority’ for new Man Utd boss as huge decision on star striker looms

      by

      MASON Greenwood will be at the top of Manchester United’s questions to answer this transfer window.With new ownership and a new CEO, United has tightened the purse strings this January.

      Manager Erik Ten Hag has been restricted to “cheap buys” as the club also has to abide by Financial Fair Play regulations.
      One way around this could be to sell some players, as they are doing with Jadon Sancho. 
      Another of those on the chopping block could be Mason Greenwood.
      The striker is currently playing in Spain for Getafe FC and is unlikely to ever play for the Red Devils again.
      Read more on football
      Since the move, the 22-year-old has scored five goals and provided four assists in 10 games since moving to Getafe in September.
      New CEO Omar Berrada is known as a capable businessman and could see Greenwood as an easy way to make some dosh.
      Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan are all keeping tabs on Greenwood’s form.
      SunSport revealed last week that Berrada’s former club Barcelona are eyeing a £40million move and are prepared to offer the winger Lionel Messi’s old number 10 shirt to secure his services.
      Most read in Football
      Selling him could free up cash for the striker United desperately needs.
      United are reportedly interested in Brentford’s Ivan Toney or Stuttgart’s Serhou Guirassy.
      Greenwood was recently interviewed on his time at Getafe.
      He said: “Everything’s fine, I adapted pretty quickly. My team-mates took me under their wing and I’ve just been happy ever since coming here, training and playing the games.
      “The fans mean a lot to me. The best feeling so far is when I scored my first goal here at the stadium and it meant a lot to me, I heard the fans quite a lot.”
      United turned to the loan market over the summer as spending continued to be tight and its ownership drama ongoing.
      Contract extensions are another thing that will impact United’s ability to spend with several players seeing their contracts run down.
      The club are considering extensions for Casemiro, Raphael Varane and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
      But, with the ownership dramas over and Sir Jim Ratcliffe pledging to invest into the club, the summer window could see some big signings.
      Greenwood had reportedly been set to be welcomed back into the fold by Erik ten Hag before SunSport exclusively reported United had made a U-turn due to the volatile reaction.

      He had not played prior to joining Getafe since January 2022 after being arrested on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      All charges against Greenwood were dropped this February.

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED ace Scott McTominay appeared in the “cringiest advertisement” for Adidas and left fans baffled.McTominay acted like a cashier working at United’s official store and checked out a pair of football boots for a customer.

      The Red Devils issued the bizarre 14-second-long clip on Twitter with the following caption: “Checking out with these beauties.”
      And in it McTominay is heard telling the customer: “That will be a GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL!”
      The camera then turned to the cash register, which also reads: “GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL!”
      And the customer was then recorded looking absolutely perplexed, just like many United fans who watched the strange ad.

      Some supporters even suggested Ineos owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is expecting confirmation of his 25 per cent takeover of the club from the Premier League, has found a “new role” for McTominay.
      One fan tweeted: “The cringiest advertisement I’ve ever seen in my life.”
      Another commented: “INEOS giving Scott McTominay a new role.”
      A third posted: “What is this?”

      This fan said: “This is so cringe.”
      And that one stated: “What a silly advert.”
      McTominay has amassed a total of six goals and one assist in 24 appearances so far this season.
      McTominay in Dubai
      McTominay has been enjoying some winter sun in Dubai during United’s winter break.
      And the Scotland international has been joined by his girlfriend Cam Reading.
      The couple were special guests at the Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament.
      However, the pair got more than they bargained for when a stray ball went in their direction and landed in an “awkward” spot.

      “He is simply going to undergo a small operation on his adductors, which he should have done for a while and which did not allow him to be 100 per cent, so he will do it now.”

      Man City could throw huge spanner in works by blocking Man Utd’s new CEO Omar Berrada from working until NEXT SEASON

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have pulled off a massive coup by landing Omar Berrada as their new chief executive from neighbours City.Berrada has resigned from his post at the Etihad after 13 years, the last eight as City’s chief football operations officer.

      Yet he may not be able to start his role in trying to lead United back to the top until next season if he has to serve a notice period.
      The Spaniard has been a key figure in City’s rise to become Europe’s premier team, and Etihad insiders insist he will leave with their blessing and no ill-feeling.
      They are adamant the management structure is so solid that there will be no destabilising knock-on once Berrada has gone.
      City’s football operations department is headed by chairman Khaldoon al Mubarak and run by senior figures Txiki Begiristain, Ferran Soriano and Brian Marwood.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      Yet there is no doubt Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has vowed to make United great again after his £1.3billion investment, will see his first major move as a huge statement of intent.
      City confirmed his decision in a statement which said: “Manchester City Football Club can confirm that Omar Berrada has resigned from his role as chief football operations officer at City Football Group.
      “The club understands his decision to look for a new challenge and he leaves with our thanks and best wishes.”
      For all Berrada is one of a 130-strong football operations team at the Etihad, there is no doubt his cross-town move will impact both clubs.
      Most read in Football

      He played a key role working alongside chief executive Soriano and director of football Begiristain over transfers and contracts and joined City after eight years in a commercial role with Barcelona.
      Berrada, 46, has wide-reaching and wide-ranging contacts and was attracted by the chance of having greater responsibilities at Old Trafford.
      Yet he faces a massive job in his role as Richard Arnold’s successor, with the gap between United and City wider than at any stage – in every department on and off the field.
      Arnold left United before the deal to sell a 25 per cent stake was sealed with Ratcliffe’s Ineos team.
      While City are disappointed – but accepting – at losing him, they also believe their own operation will not be weakened.
      And there is no suggestion it will have any impact on manager Pep Guardiola’s long-term future at the club.
      But Berrada may still have a major role left at City as he is expected to be a key witness when the champions face an independent commission later this year.
      They have been accused by the Premier League of 115 counts of breaking profit and sustainability rules.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      And in his position within the football and commercial side of the City Football Group operation, both on the football and commercial side of the club, Berrada will be a key figure when the hearing begins.
      Sources believe his Old Trafford appointment points towards City’s innocence as United would be unlikely to risk handing such a high profile position to someone whose reputation would be hugely damaged with a guilty verdict. More

      ‘This can’t be real’ – Man Utd star Andre Onana spotted giving team-mate advice seconds before shambolic moment at Afcon

      by

      ANDRE ONANA was spotted advising one of his Cameroon team-mates moments before a shambolic free kick at Afcon.The under-pressure Manchester United keeper ran all the way into the opposition half in the 65th of their match with Senegal to give some words of wisdom to Georges-Kevin N’Koudou.

      Onana placed his hands on the back and hip of the former Tottenham man and seemingly appeared to give him some instructions as he prepared to put the ball into the box.
      N’Koudou’s delivery from deep in the Senegalese half was a disastrous one, with the floated ball failing to come anywhere near a team-mate and piddling out of play.
      Afcon watchers were quick to comment, with one saying: “What advice could Onana possibly have had???”
      Another said with a series of laughing emojis: “This can’t be real.”

      And another said: “Onana advice still no work.”

      One stunned viewer even said: “[This] guy is a comedian.”

      Senegal ended up running out 3-1 winners thanks to goals from Isamaila Sarr, Habib Diallo and former Liverpool hitman Sadio Mane.
      Cameroon are in danger of being dumped out of the tournament as they’re winless in their first two matches and currently sitting in third place in Group D.
      They must beat Gambia on Tuesday and hope that Senegal comfortably beat Guinea to secure automatic qualification to the last-16.
      Should they be prematurely dumped out of the tournament, Onana could be back in goal for Manchester United’s FA Cup fourth-round clash with Newport County next Sunday. More

      Man Utd and Cameroon keeper Andre Onana drops Afcon howler as fans say he is ‘born to concede goals’

      by

      FANS ridiculed Andre Onana after blaming the Manchester United keeper for Senegal’s opener in their 3-1 AFCON win.Onana was labelled “born to concede goals” as he mis-timed a punch and was rooted to the spot when Ismaila Sarr drilled home the loose ball.

      Little has gone right for the under-fire Old Trafford No1 recently – despite his extraordinary efforts to go the extra mile for club and country.
      Onana, 27, dashed to the airport after playing in United’s 2-2 home draw with Tottenham last Sunday.
      But bad weather held up his private jet, so he missed Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations opener on Monday, a 1-1 stalemate with Guinea.
      And it got worse for United’s summer signing on Friday night.
      READ MORE TOP STORIES
      After just 16 minutes against Senegal, he could only jab the ball away – enabling Sarr to turn and rifle home through a crowded penalty box.
      Onana’s view of the shot might well have been partly obstructed but one fan responded: “Complete definition of addiction to conceding goals.”
      Another said: “Onana has just let a goal in…some things never change.” 
      Some critics questioned why the stopper’s feet appeared stuck when Sarr turned to shoot – once calling him a “mannequin”.

      Similar observations included: “Does Onana dive for anything?” and “Not like Onana not to move….”
      And with the Red Devils seventh in the Premier League, having let in 29 goals in 21 games, many United fans doubt the value of his £47million summer arrival.
      One claimed: “I had enough of Onana in the last 10 games, truth be told we made a mistake of a signing.”
      But the former Inter Milan hero also has his supporters, with one saying: “It’s not his fault – it’s the defenders.”
      With Cameroon now having just one point from two AFCON group games, one fan joked: “Onana will catch a quick flight back to England.”
      Habib Diallo doubled Senegal’s lead following Marseille winger Sarr’s pinpoint cross on 71 minutes.
      Jean-Charles Castelletto headed Cameroon back into it and they missed two glaring chances to equalise.
      But Idrissa Gueye surged clear to set up ex-Liverpool striker Sadio Mane for a Senegal clincher deep in stoppage time. More
