BRU-NO
Bruno Fernandes was meant to be the man to inspire Portugal to a second straight European Championship victory.
But to be blunt, Fernandes was utterly anonymous at the tournament.
Let’s take a closer look at just how poor the Man Utd star was…

‘BITTER’
Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand has labelled former United manager Jose Mourinho “bitter” over his Luke Shaw comments.
Shaw struggled under Mourinho and the pair have made public comments about it recently.
But Ferdinand has come to Shaw’s defence.
Speaking on his FIVE YouTube channel: “I don’t get it man. Jose Mourinho, look at who he is.
“The guy, the main man, I love Mourinho. He’s a manager I would have loved to play for. But leave the kid alone. 
“You messed up his career. He would argue Luke Shaw messed up his career.
“He has to take some responsibility (Luke Shaw) for this period as well, where he didn’t do well under Mourinho.
“But as a manager you have to take a bit of responsibility too in getting the best out of players, that’s your job, that’s your remit to get the best out the players at your disposal but he didn’t with Luke Shaw.
“But leave the kid alone, you’re talking about him taking corners. Please, there’s more to talk about than Luke Shaw taking corners.
“It feels a bit personal to me and it just goes back to me as a pundit now. One of the main things I said when I started this any type of appraisal, or breaking down a situation or a club, it can’t be personal.
“I think Jose, you can tell there’s a bit of bitterness about it. Luke doing well doesn’t reflect well on Jose Mourinho.
“That’s the problem and where the bitterness probably stems from.”

MAN MOUNTAIN
Man Utd are celebrating a decade of David de Gea, and have posted a throwback to his outstanding performance against Spurs in 2019.

JACK ATTACK
Aston Villa are hopeful that Jack Grealish will sign a new deal, ending Man City and Man Utd’s interest in the England international.
According to the Telegraph, the Villans are optimistic about their chances of tying Grealish down to a new deal.
The England international is attracting a lot of attention from a host of top clubs.
And just days ago it was reported that Man City were close to agreeing a deal for the winger worth £100m.
But now there’s optimism that Grealish will stay put and be apart of Villa’s long-term future.
HARD TO MANAGE
Sven-Goran Eriksson revealed he rejected offers from Chelsea and Manchester United while he was England manager, writes MARC MAYO.
The Swede was in charge of the Three Lions between 2001 and 2006 and went to three major tournaments.
And he revealed that he was in talks with the two Premier League giants over club managerial roles.
Speaking to Ladbrokes, Sven said: “During my time as England manager, I had contact with Manchester United and then Chelsea.
“But it’s almost impossible to leave your contract early as the England national manager to then go on and take over an English club. If you leave England, people will not look very good at you.
“There were discussions with those two clubs, but they never led to anything, and I’m proud to have stuck to my decision to stay in charge of the national team.”
GLORY GLORY MAN UTD
Will Man Utd add any trophies to the trophy cabinet this season?

CAV THAT
Roma have an agreement with Man Utd striker Edinson Cavani, according to reports in Italy.
Despite the 34-year-old signing an extension at United, after having a successful season in front of goal – the Uruguayan is being linked with a return to Italy.
Rumours are circling that Edin Dzeko is close to leaving Roma, and former United boss Jose Mourinho wants Cavani as his replacement.
Damiano Coccia ‘Er Faina’ told the Calciomercato Show on CMIT TV (via Sport Witness): “If Dzeko goes away, Cavani arrives.
“The problem isn’t Dzeko, who wants to leave, but that there’s no team that wants to take the Bosnian. There was a Juventus poll but they are unwilling to give them what they ask for.”
Although it seems unlikely to happen, if it did, Man Utd would be owed compensation.
He added: “Tiago Pinto is strongly probing Cavani, in principle there’s a basic agreement between the club and the player. 
“The problem is that Cavani isn’t expiring and it will be necessary to give United compensation.”

‘I’M SURE HE KNOWS THE PLAYERS’
Marcus Rashford has backed England team-mate Jadon Sancho to make an impact against Germany.
The Man Utd-linked winger Sancho currently plays in the Bundesliga for Borussia Dourtmund.
And today he’ll be facing some familiar faces when England take on Germany at Wembley.
Rashford said: “In a way, yes, because he’s played a lot of football against them, more than the rest of us.
“I’m sure he knows the players, their characteristics, strengths and weaknesses and he’s definitely someone that can exploit them.
“If one thing doesn’t quite work we have a big opportunity to change things and adapt in the game.
“Adaptability is one of the biggest skills in football and there’s a lot of times in a game where you have to change or tweak something slightly to hurt your opponents.
“The fact that he’s played against them a lot, he’s hurt them a lot as well, it will be a big factor for us.”

POG TOP
Now that France are out of Euro 2020, Man Utd COULD focus on tying Paul Pogba down to a new deal.
The deal could see him leapfrog David de Gea at the top of Man Utd’s highest earners list.
The wages of Manchester United’s current players
KEANE-POGBA PARTNERSHIP
Roy Keane’s old rival Patrick Vieira believes that Keane would have been the perfect midfield partner to unlock Paul Pogba.
The ITV pundit, speaking after France’s shock Euro 2020 exit to Switzerland, said: “Yes I completely agree when you look at his potential, what he can do on the field, you expect more from him. 
“I think if he played next to Roy he would be a different player.
“He needs somebody behind his back, to put him under pressure every day, to be really demanding on him.”
‘HE CAN BE FRUSTRATING’
Man Utd legend Roy Keane has said that midfielder Paul Pogba “can be frustrating”.
France spectacularly crashed out of Euro 2020 on penalties to Switzerland.
And Pogba scored a worldie, but struggled in parts of the game – leading to criticism from both Gary Neville and Keane.
Keane, in particular, said: “He can be frustrating.
“This is all a part of Paul’s character, which people love to see, but then I’d be looking at the goal they conceded in injury time, where he was sloppy in midfield. That’s the bit I’d be really critical about.
“It seems harsh because he’s done some brilliant stuff going forward tonight. There’s no doubting Paul’s quality, just the other side, maybe his maturity.
“We’ve mentioned all night, and United have had the same problem, can he play in a two in midfield? He probably can’t, doesn’t have the discipline.
“He was at his best in Juventus when he probably got a bit more freedom and was surrounded by more men, more characters, probably better quality players.
“But even today, he still leaves you frustrated. For all his brilliant quality coming forward, I still think he lacks that discipline defensively.
“That’s the key, the top players manage to do it week in week out and Paul, to me, still doesn’t quite do it.”

“We have had a great season winning La Liga. Anything can happen in football, but I don’t think about that kind of thing.
“There were conversations a long time ago, it is true, but nothing happened and the negotiation was not completed. I have no problem.”

BEN AND GONE
Ben Amos has completed a free transfer to Wigan after reportedly rejecting an emotional return to Manchester United.

‘DISGRACE’
This is the shock moment that Cristiano Ronaldo booted the captain’s armband seconds after throwing it to the floor after Portugal were dumped out of Euro 2020.
The Juventus striker and former Man United star was obviously fuming after the defending champs were eliminated by Belgium thanks to a Thorgan Hazard thunderbolt.
Ronaldo was seen throwing the blue armband to the turf while Belgium players celebrated reaching the quarter-finals.
And now further footage has emerged of the 36-year-old then launching it with his boot as his frustration boiled over.

The two clubs are finalising an agreement on the fee but, as revealed by SunSport, personal terms are already sorted.
Sancho will pen a five-year deal at Old Trafford worth £91million – or £350,000 per week. 
That will see his wages more than trebled from the £100,000-per-week deal he is on at Dortmund.
And it will also see him among the very best-paid players in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.

Raphael Varane wants to join Man Utd, but his wages appear to be a problem.
According to the Independent, the 28-year-old wants to pick up an eye-watering £400,000 a week.
And it will cost upwards of £50m to even tempt Real Madrid to sell the four-time Champions League winner.
PSG are also an option for Varane, but he has his sights set on the Premier League.

The Reds are lining up the French winger as a replacement for Divock Origi and to boost their forward options.
Coman, 25, is out of contract next summer and Bayern are said to be keen on extending his stay.
But the German giants also face losing him on a free in 2023 if a new deal can’t be agreed.

Bayern would reportedly accept around £43m for Coman, who is reported to be seeking a new challenge.
LIVERPOOL EYE BAUMGARTNER
Liverpool are interested in 21-year-old Hoffenheim midfielder Christoph Baumgartner, according to reports.
Baumgartner has impressed at Euro 2020 for Austria scoring the winning goal in the Group C game against Ukraine, which ensured a second-placed finish.

NEW DEAL

But a new deal could end the Hammers’ pursuit of Lingard, and according to The Star, a new three-year deal is being prepared.

MORNING, UNITED FANS
Jadon Sancho has reportedly told his Borussia Dortmund team-mates he will definitely join Manchester United this summer.
It’s also claimed United could offload striker Anthony Martial and midfielder Donny van de Beek after the Euros.
SunSport revealed earlier this month that England Sancho has agreed a five-year, £350,000-a-week deal.
But there is still wrangling over the fee of around £80million plus add-ons.
Meanwhile, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is said to have been unhappy with Martial’s attitude, while Van de Beek had a timid first season after arriving from Ajax.
West Ham loan star Jesse Lingard is tipped for a new three-year United contract.
The England midfielder, 28, just missed out on Gareth Southgate’s 26-man Euros squad after nine goals in 16 games for the Hammers.
And United target Marcos Llorente admits ‘anything can happen’ over his future but insists he is happy at the Spanish champions
The Spain midfielder told AS: “I have many years left (on my contract). My idea is to stay, I’m fine, I’m happy at Atletico Madrid.”
United are also being linked with a move for Rennes midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, 18.
SHAW: JOSE OBSESSED WITH ME
Luke Shaw has accused his ex-Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho of being obsessed with him.
The England defender, preparing for Tuesday’s Euro 2020 last-16 clash with Germany, is stunned he is still being criticised by his former boss at Manchester United.
Mourinho criticised Shaw for his “dramatically bad” and “poor” set-pieces in the 1-0 win over Czech Republic.
Shaw, 25, said: “There is no hiding that we didn’t get on. It is time to move on. I am trying to move on but, obviously, he can’t.
“Hopefully he can find his peace with that and finally move and stop worrying about me. Clearly I am in his head a lot and he clearly thinks about me a lot.
“I don’t really understand it, to be honest. I don’t know why he is still going on and wanting to point at me. I don’t feel like the set pieces were as bad as he was saying.
“Look, he has got to do his job. He has got his opinion. I am used to him saying negative stuff about me now, so I just pass it by.
“I leave it be, I ignore it. I just focus on what the coaching staff say here, what Gareth says and that’s that, really.”
SOME-VING SPECIAL
Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga is reportedly on Manchester United’s summer wishlist.
That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim United will battle Premier League rivals Arsenal for Camavinga.
The Red Devils are closing in on top target Jadon Sancho and are already thinking ahead.
However, the talented French midfielder has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

KEANE CHEEKY DIG AT GUNNERS
Roy Keane heaped praise on Bukayo Saka but also aimed criticism at Arsenal while doing so.
The ITV pundit was discussing Saka, 19, alongside Ian Wright, who applauded Saka’s “glorious pace”.

And former Manchester United star Keane was equally as complimentary towards the youngster.
But he could ignore old rivalries, bashing Arsenal in his assessment of Saka.
In ITV’s pre-match coverage of Belgium vs Portgual, Keane said: “He’s been playing well in a poor Arsenal team.”
But Keane is accurate in his view, as the Gunners underperformed last season, finishing the campaign without a trophy.
Mikel Arteta’s side finished eighth in the Premier League and perhaps the most disappointing moment came in the Europa League semi-final exit to Villareal.
And despite their problems Saka still shone, scoring seven and assisting ten goals in all competitions.
JADED SANCHO SAGA
Old Trafford legend Gary Neville says Jadon Sancho (apparently) joining United is the most boring transfer saga he’s ever known – and many on social media agree.

The latest news seems to be Borussia Dortmund’s England attacker edging near an £80million move on a five-year deal, perhaps next month.
But it’s been more than a year since the move first appeared likely.
And it’s even been suggested United fans will have sprouted beards akin to some of football’s most famous hairy faces, like ex-Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

LLORENTE: ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN
Manchester United target Marcos Llorente has opened up over his future and admitted ‘anything can happen’.
The Red Devils are known to be huge admirers of the Atletico Madrid star, having first targeted the Spain midfielder in January 2020.

The 26-year-old scored 12 goals and provided 11 assists as Diego Simeone’s side won the LaLiga title last season.
His fine form hasn’t gone unnoticed, and United were reportedly set to turn their interest into a formal offer in March.
United were previously linked with launching a £68million bid ahead of Euro 2020.
Llorente, who has three years left on his deal at the Wanda Metropolitano, has hinted that he is prepared to stay in Spain.
But in an interview with AS, the Spanish international added that ‘anything’ can happen in football’.
He said: “I have many years left (on my contract). My idea is to stay, I’m fine, I’m happy at Atletico Madrid.
“We have had a great season winning La Liga. Anything can happen in football, but I don’t think about that kind of thing. I am happy and now I am with the national team.
SANCHO: I’M A BIG GAME PLAYER
Manchester United target has told boss Gareth Southgate he DOES have the major tournament experience to be let off the leash for England.
Southgate suggested Sancho was only on the fringes of his plans because he was playing in his first international tournament.

But the 21-year-old claims three years of Champions League football with Borussia Dortmund shows he can be trusted at the top level – and says he is desperate to be let loose on a Germany side he knows well.
Sancho said: “To be fair, I feel like because I’ve been playing Champions League in the last three years, I feel like that’s a major tournament. I know what it takes.
“Game by game it’s always going to be tough, especially when you proceed to the next rounds, and that experience alone has helped me.
“Coming to another tournament I just see it as just like another Champions League.”
England’s Dortmund star Jadon Sancho is hoping for a bigger role against Germany
JADON ‘TOLD DORTMUND PALS HE’S OFF TO UTD’
Borussia Dortmund ace Jadon Sancho has told his England team-mates that he’s ‘heading to Old Trafford’, according to reports.
SunSport revealed earlier this month that Sancho has agreed a five-year, £350,000-a-week deal to join Manchester United.
According to Tom McDermott, Sancho has confirmed to his Three Lions mates that he’s definitely off to United.
He adds that the deal is ‘practically done’ and that issues over add-ons have been ‘ironed out’
FOFANA’S A REAL OPTION TO REPLACE VARANE
Leicester centre-back Wesley Fofana has emerged as a target for Real Madrid to replace Raphael Varane should Manchester United sign the Frenchman.
The 20-year-old starred in his debut season in England after joining the Foxes in a £36.5million deal from Saint-Etienne last year.
Fofana featured 38 times under Brendan Rodgers as he helped Leicester finish fifth in the Premier League while also proving instrumental in their FA Cup-winning run.
And according to Fichajes, he could be on his way out of the King Power Stadium with Carlo Ancelotti said to be eyeing a swoop for the youngster.
However they state the potential move depends on whether Los Blancos sell Varane, with the World Cup winner heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford.
It has been claimed that the four-time Champions League winner, 28, is keen on linking up with the Red Devils.
Varane has just one year left on his contract in Spain and it remains to be seen whether he will follow Sergio Ramos out the door this summer.
UTD ED QUEUE FOR CAMAVINGA
Manchester United have been linked with a move for Rennes wonderkid Eduardo Camavinga.
That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim United will battle Premier League rivals Arsenal for Camavinga.
The Red Devils are closing in on top target Jadon Sancho and are already thinking ahead.
However, the talented French midfielder has also attracted interest from Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain
MAKE WAY
England and Manchester United record goalscorer Wayne Rooney has shared some advice for Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate ahead of Tuesday’s clash with Germany.
Rooney wrote in his column at The Times: “After all my championing of Jack Grealish, I wouldn’t play him from the start against Germany.
“‘He was one of England’s better players against the Czech Republic and it is not that my opinion of him has changed. My thinking is entirely down to how the Germans play. Different opponents demand different approaches and Tuesday’s game is tailor-made for Marcus Rashford — but not Jack.
“Germany play three at the back with a high line and what they try to do is almost suffocate you. They pass side to side, get the ball in wide areas, come back and go all the way out to the other flank, then get balls into the penalty area. And when you win it, they want you to play a pass to feet because that means — with their line pushed right up — they can go and press you high up the pitch.
“The more players you have who want to take the ball to feet, the more they can press, so instead of Jack I’d be looking to have runners either side of Harry Kane. My instruction would be to attack the spaces behind their wing backs when they go forward and make runs down the channels to the sides of their centre backs — especially given Mats Hummels’s problems against pace”
CAMAVINGA AGENT REACTS
Rennes ace Eduardo Camavinga’s agent Jonathan Barnett has hinted that the star midfielder could be among his clients set for a big move amid interest from Manchester United and Arsenal.
Barnett told The Athletic: “It is going to be harder. I’m expecting three or four very big deals of my own that will break a lot of records.
“Hopefully, they’ll come about. For the smaller clubs, I think there won’t be as many transfers. We have some very good players.
“We have probably the best young player in the world in Camavinga. We’ve got [Jack] Grealish. We’ve got [Ibrahima] Konate at Leipzig. But then I’ve got over 100 players”
CAMAVINGA SITUATION
Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga’s agent has hinted that his client could be on the move during this summer transfer window.
Camavinga enjoyed a tremendous campaign in Ligue 1 and has thus attracted interest from some of Europe’s top bidders, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
Reports suggest the star midfielder will be United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer priority after Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho signs with the club.
According to The Athletic, the France international’s representative, Jonathan Barnett, who also represents Luke Shaw and other elite players, has hinted that the 18-year-old could be on the move this summer
CAMAVINGA BOOST
Fabrizio Romano claims Arsenal haven’t made an official bid for Rennes star Eduardo Camavinga.
In fact, there has been absolutely no contact between the player and the Gunners.
That works as a boost for Manchester United, who are set to meet up with the midfielder’s reps next week.

FERN BELIEF
Portugal manager Fernando Santos has hinted that Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes could return to the starting line-up against Belgium despite his disappointing performances against Germany and Hungary.
Santos said: “We will play according to our principles. We may change some players. Last match, we changed some things but because we felt that thinking of the opponent, but not just that, and about ourselves.
“We wanted to establish our own pattern. I wanted to bring in new blood to the midfield section. Tomorrow, I don’t think that will be an issue because we have had plenty of rest over the past four days.
“Today [Saturday], we have the last training session, we never know what is going to happen. We don’t know if everyone will be fit”
NEVILLE’S BORE-DON
Gary Neville has had enough of the Jadon Sancho transfer saga…
Neville tweeted: “Manchester United closing in on Sancho. Again!
“A transfer should be a joy and a moment of excitement.
“I’ve never been more bored by a transfer in my life to the point I feel like he’s already signed and I want to know who is next already. Not the lads [sic] fault at all I should say!”

Stewart told the Transfer Tavern: “Van de Beek has not really proved anything in the Premier League yet, has he?
“I thought when he was coming to United, he was going to be a really great acquisition.
“Normally they come out of Ajax and they’re straight on the scene and they’re great players”
VARANE REPLACEMENT
Manchester United have received a major transfer boost in their bid to sign Real Madrid ace Raphael Varane.
According to Fijaches, Real are preparing for life after Varane, it seems, and have identified Leicester ace Wesley Fofana as a potential replacement.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti was impressed with Fofana during his time in the Premier League while in charge of Everton.
Varane has been linked with a switch to Manchester United and the centre-back is keen on that move
TRANSFER BOOST
Brighton star defender Ben White was linked with Manchester United recently following a string of impressive Premier League performances that led to an England call-up.
United head coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is determined to sign a top centre-back to partner up with Harry Maguire at the back.
According to Manchester Evening News, however, the Red Devils were not willing to meet his £50million asking price and are thus focusing their efforts on other defensive targets.
That paves the way for Arsenal to land their man as they are willing to splash the cash for the 23-year-old defender
