      A fourth said: “Would never see any other club in the world speak of a club legend like that. United in the mud.”
      In the club’s matchday programme for the match, there was an 81-word message outlining that Ronaldo had left the club.

      Two teams in the running to sign unemployed Cristiano Ronaldo after Man Utd axe including £173million offer

      by

      TWO TEAMS are reportedly in the running to sign free agent Cristiano Ronaldo and have put offers on the table.The 37-year-old legend is plotting his next move after being released by Manchester United following a bombshell interview with Sun columnist Piers Morgan.

      The forward claimed he felt United had “betrayed” him and revealed he had “no respect” for Erik ten Hag.
      Things did not improve for him during the World Cup as he was also shunned by national team boss Fernando Santos.
      After starting all three group matches, Ronaldo was confined to a role coming off the bench in the knockout stages.
      The former Real Madrid star was upstaged by Goncalo Ramos, who took his chance to score a spectacular hat-trick against Switzerland in a 6-1 win.

      That left him to start as a sub again in the quarter-final before being unable to change the game after coming on as they were beaten 1-0 by Morocco.
      Now, while he continues to keep in top physical condition, he is deciding on his next club but there has been a serious lack of “viable” offers from top European clubs.
      As Sun Sport previously revealed, The Times have stated that he has an offer worth £173million on the table from Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr.
      They also claim that he is “expected to join them” – although Sun Sport understands he has not accepted a contract from them yet.

      This fresh update also states that he has another deal on the table to move to the Qatar Stars League.
      However, “though the financial terms on offer are understood to be inferior to those presented by their Gulf neighbour and rival” in Saudi.
      The former Real Madrid and Juventus frontman is tipped to make up his mind within days with him preferring to stay in Europe.
      Chelsea and Ron’s old club Sporting Lisbon were rated as possible destinations before Portugal’s disappointing World Cup.
      Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Juve have been mentioned since the summer but none of the above have been forthcoming since his release. More

      Unfortunately for him and his compatriots there was heartbreak in store as they were defeated 4-2 by Argentina in the showpiece on Sunday.
      However, big things could still be on the horizon for Rabiot as he appears to be finally closing in on a move to the Premier League after his failed switch to Manchester United last summer.
      Repubblica are claiming Arsenal are now pushing to sign Rabiot in the January transfer window.
      The playmaker’s contract expires in June and he is allowed to discuss terms with teams outside of Italy from January 1.

      But rather than lose him for nothing, Juventus are more likely willing to offload him for a cut-price fee mid-season.
      And it appears the opportunistic Gunners are ready to pounce to try and bolster their midfield.
      Mikel Arteta’s team were left decimated by injury towards the end of last season which led to them missing out on Champions League football.
      Now, with his squad sitting top of the Premier League, he is determined not to let the same happen again and he eyes reinforcements to continue their title charge.

      Rabiot ended his nine-year stint at Paris Saint-Germain in 2019, which included a loan spell at Toulouse, to join Juventus.
      After winning Serie A in his first season, he has only managed to add the SuperCoppa and Coppa italia to his trophy cabinet since.
      Meanwhile, five-point leaders Arsenal return to domestic action with a home clash against West Ham on Boxing Day. More

      Man Utd star Scott McTominay laughs off claims he was ‘bullying’ Alejandro Garnacho after booting hat away in training

      by

      SCOTT MCTOMINAY has laughed off claims he was “bullying” Manchester United team-mate Alejandro Garnacho. Back in November, ahead of United’s clash with Real Sociedad, the 26-year-old was pictured swiping a woolly hat from Garnacho’s head before booting it away.

      However, some fans were not happy with the move and labelled McTominay a “bully.”
      But the midfielder has insisted it was simply a joke – and revealed another tactic behind the move.
      Speaking to The Athletic, a laughing McTominay said: “I had a lot of people saying that was bullying!
      “That was just a bit of a joke.

      “But he needs to keep his feet on the ground and keep working hard and he can be one hell of a footballer.”
      And it seemed to pay dividends when days later Garnacho provided an assist from McTominay in United’s 4-2 victory over Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup.
      The 18-year-old has rocketed into prominence this season under Erik ten Hag.
      He has scored two goals and provided an additional pair of assists in nine games and was back in action as United beat Burnley 2-0 in the Carabao Cup.

      But the winger has not had it all his own way at Old Trafford.
      World Cup star Bruno Fernandes, who also played a scintillating pass in the build up to the Red Devils first goal against Burnley, revealed Garnacho’s attitude was an issue at the start of the season.
      Speaking after Garnacho’s winner against Sociedad, he said: “He was good but he knows we expect at lot from him. He’s still really young. He’s doing really well.
      “At the beginning of the season, not at his best, on the pre-season tour he didn’t have the best attitude that he should have and that’s why he didn’t get his chances until now.
      “He didn’t get his chances before because he was not good enough in training and not good enough mentality-wise.
      “Now he’s getting chances because he’s changed that, he’s training better, he’s having a better attitude and he deserves his chances.
      “Everyone is really happy for him and pleased with his goal.” More

      Man Utd’s Lisandro Martinez should be FURIOUS despite winning World Cup after ‘absolutely crazy’ snub says ex-club star

      by

      FORMER Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes that Lisandro Martinez should be “furious” with his lack of game time during the World Cup.The current Red Devils star was much the second fiddle to first-choice defenders Cristian Romero and Nicolas Otamendi as Argentina went on to lift the trophy in Qatar.

      Martinez only started in two of the team’s seven games at the tournament, as well as appearing as a substitute three times.
      Manager Lionel Scaloni opted for the former Manchester City star and Tottenham defender as his centre-back partnership, which led to Martinez having to fill in as left-back when he did play.
      Parker has suggested that the 24-year-old did not “contribute to the team on the pitch” and that he will have had a “bad experience” at the tournament.
      He told BeMyBet: “When I looked at him, I never got the feeling that he didn’t want to be there.

      “But, of course, he must have been furious that Nicolas Otamendi played instead of him, which is absolutely crazy.
      “He will be disappointed without a shadow of a doubt. He won the final, but he didn’t play in the final and that is a weird feeling.
      “It’s a different feeling to win a medal and put it around your neck when you didn’t really contribute to the team on the pitch.
      “He will return with a medal and a bad experience.”

      Martinez is yet to return to Old Trafford following the celebrations back in Buenos Aires in Argentina alongside his team-mates.
      After a tricky start to life in England following his summer transfer from Ajax, he has become a key player for Erik ten Hag.
      And the Dutch manager has admitted that if he had not signed his former player in the summer, he would have joined Premier League rivals Arsenal.
      He told Dutch outlet VI : “If I found it hard to take Martinez away from Ajax? I had such a great time there, the way we build a project.
      “Out of nowhere, we brought Ajax back to the European top level. But Martinez himself wanted to leave.
      “If we didn’t take him, he would have gone to Arsenal.
      “At a certain point, Lisandro Martinez called me up and said, ‘coach, listen, I will leave Ajax no matter what. I can sign for Arsenal, but if you want me, I will go to Manchester United’.” More

      Liverpool, Manchester City, Man United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are all keen on the 19-year-old.

      Now Spanish publication AS have backed up our report and issued a further transfer blow to the likes of United and Liverpool.

      Madrid hope to continue their good relationship with Dortmund by agreeing a fee and make him their big 2023 signing.

      Man Utd and Liverpool MUST spend big in January transfer window… the future of both clubs could depend on it

      by

      THE January sales. Three words guaranteed to strike fear into every bloke in the land.Just when you think the wallet’s survived a Christmas hammering, all of a sudden there are loads more “must-have” bargains to give it another battering.
      Erik ten Hag will be hoping for some big signings in JanuaryCredit: PA
      Now Erik ten Hag and Jurgen Klopp aren’t two names you’d think would be waiting for the doors to open with the shopping bags ready.
      But this year it is hard to imagine another couple hoping the credit cards will be maxed out quite as much as this pair.
      Nothing from the cut-price rail either. Only high-end, top-of-the-range goods will do. None of your slight seconds here, thank you very much.
      For the managers of England’s biggest two clubs, it’s proven, grade-A performers on the shopping list and nothing less.
      READ MORE TRANSFER NEWS
      They will cost, for sure, but then again, both Ten Hag and Klopp say they have been promised serious money.
      Well now is the time for the moneymen at Old Trafford and Anfield to back up those words with actions.
      Because if they don’t, the repercussions could echo way, way beyond what happens over the second half of the season.
      They could impact the entire future of the two clubs.
      Most read in Football
      That’s not your typical Sky Sports whip-it-up transfer window baloney, either. This one goes much deeper.
      This one comes with both clubs on the market and looking for a buyer.
      At a time when they both currently sit outside the top four — with no guarantee of finishing in there, either.
      So there will be some  very interesting trans-Atlantic conversations over the coming weeks to the offices of the Glazers and John W Henry.
      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST FOOTBALL BETTING SITES IN THE UK
      There are some massive decisions to be made by the American owners of the Premier League’s big two.
      And unless they accept the need to speculate before they can accumulate, they can forget all thoughts of getting anywhere near the eye-watering prices being bandied around.
      In United’s case, figures as high as £8billion have been mentioned, while Henry is said to want £5bn for the Reds.
      But anyone willing to splash that sort of dough around wants certain guarantees for the money. First and foremost, a seat at football’s top table — the Champions League.
      And that is far from certain for at least one, maybe both giants this season.
      Manchester City’s place in there is nailed on, so there’s one slot gone, while Arsenal look like they’re in it for the duration.
      That leaves two. Spurs are currently in there, and they won’t suddenly plummet, and although Newcastle are still a season or so off being genuine challengers, they’re in the mix.
      Chuck Graham Potter’s Chelsea into the equation as well, and the prospect of at least one missing out is more probable than possible.
      Ten Hag desperately needs more goals in his side, while Liverpool’s need is for legs and energy in midfield.
      The problem they both have is everyone knows it, too, so the price of any target will reflect that.
      Of course the Glazers and Henry may believe their clubs are so big that any interested party would not be put off by the thought of Europa League football instead.
      If that’s the case they may decide to keep their money in their pockets, rather than spend millions on something they’re trying to get off their hands.
      Well good luck to them if so, because that’s one hell of a gamble to take.
      It’s all well and good to be fluttering their eyelashes at would-be foreign buyers but if that means losing sight of the job in hand, the consequences could be costly. Very costly.
