      While a fourth penned: “Wish Dalot scored more goals because that checking the pulse celebration is proper cold.”
      A fifth joked: “That man has been starving”, following his first strike in the league for the club.
      Speaking after the game, Dalot said of his goal: “It was special. The moment of the goal was important too, a little bit more comfortable. 
      “They were creating chances. It is always special to score for this club. The celebration is my little thing with Antony.
      “His rewards are coming for all he is doing. As we progress the individuals will come out.”
      Portugal international Dalot put the seal on a comprehensive Manchester United performance at the City Ground.
      The visitors took the lead on 32 minutes, when Antony poked home from close range after Anthony Martial’s effort was saved by Keylor Navas.

      “Then put Zinny RB & White CB? Or just Kiwior?
      “Stubborness. Arrogance. That’s why.”
      United ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Antony and Dalot.
      The win saw the Red Devils leapfrog Newcastle into third place in the Premier League table and move six points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham.

      United legend Neville, who has been vocal about the Glazers, was not happy with the news and vented his frustration on Twitter alongside a picture of the firm’s mission statement.
      He said: “No thank you! This doesn’t work for United! The Glazer PR machine keeps leaking this type of minority partnership out there bi-weekly whilst stressing it’s a confidential process. Full Sale Only.”
      The Glazer family announced a third round of bidding this week with new offers to be submitted by the end of the month which prompted Finnish businessman Thomas Zilliacus to announce he would not be doing so.
      That left British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar’s Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani as the remaining publicly interested parties understood to be willing to bid again.

      The pair are both determined to take full control at Old Trafford.
      But so far the highest offers, from Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim Bin Al have only reached around £5bn – short of the Glazers’ valuation of £6bn.
      There were chaotic scenes last month when the deadline for bids was extended by 48 hours.
      It was a move that saw Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim withdraw their offers before resubmitting them.

      The Glazers paid £790million for Manchester United back in 2005.

      Jude Bellingham’s preference for next season threatens to deal blow to Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool’s transfer plans

      by

      JUDE BELLINGHAM’S reported transfer preference is set to deal a big blow to the summer plans of England’s financial heavyweights. The likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are all big fans of the 19-year-old and are eager to try and secure his signature.

      However, these plans are set to be thwarted due to Bellingham’s own preference of destination next season.
      According to The Times, Bellingham would prefer to STAY in Germany with Borussia Dortmund until 2024.
      The reason derives from Bellingham’s fear of pushing for a move which may not be “absolutely right” for him.
      Liverpool had been the widely reported frontrunners to land Bellingham in the summer.

      However, the Reds pulled out of the race to sign him after bulking at Dortmund’s £130million asking price.
      The fee is in the budget of some other interested clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Manchester City.
      The Times report also suggests there was no real indication from Bellingham that he preferred Anfield to elsewhere despite his father, Mark, being a Liverpool fan.
      Dortmund would like to keep Bellingham for another season before they are forced into a decision with his contract expiring in 2025.

      But they are unlikely to try to keep him and Besiktas are among Turkish sides keen.  
      Burnley would prefer a sale but a loan return to Istanbul looks most likely.

      And he is yet to score a Premier League goal for the club.

      The Clarets also plan to check on Rangers contract rebel Ryan Kent.
