      Man Utd’s Paul Pogba hits back at critics in passionate message saying he’s fully committed to club

      by

      PAUL POGBA has issued a passionate statement outlining his commitment to Manchester United.
      The French midfielder, 27, has been subject to criticism from the likes of Red Devils legend Roy Keane and Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.

      And Keane tore into the World Cup winner after his display in Saturday’s Manchester derby that ended in a bore draw.
      Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola has suggested that his client’s future belongs away from Old Trafford.
      But in a message on Instagram, Pogba fired back at those who questioned whether his heart was in it anymore.
      “I’ve always fought and will always fight for Manchester United, my team-mates and the fans,” Pogba wrote on Instagram after the Manchester City game. “Bla bla is not important.

      “The future is far, today is what matters and I am 1000 per cent involved!
      “Always strong together… all has been clear between the club and myself and that will never change.
      “When you don’t know what’s going on inside, don’t talk”
      Speaking on Sky Sports, former United hardman Keane said he believed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should sell Pogba.

      “If you think Pogba’s going to get Manchester United winning titles and challenging?’ Keane told Sky Sports.
      “You keep saying he’s talented but that’s not good without desire or work rate. The guy doesn’t want to run.
      “I’m not interested in France, I don’t watch the French games. I’m on about Manchester United and your eyes don’t lie to you. This idea that he wants to be loved?
      “His job is to make other people better. That’s his job when you bring him to the club. I remember when he signed I thought it was a great signing but it’s not worked out.
      “He can make the team better. De Bruyne, he makes the other players around him better that’s what you’re there for, to big presence at the club. It’s straightforward.
      “There comes a point where United have to say now. It’s no big deal players have wanted to leave United before, David Beckham wanted to leave, Peter Schmeichel wanted to leave and these are all legends of the club.
      “Pogba wants to leave? Let him go get a few bob in January or the summer, no big deal. If he leaves again Man Utd will survive, trust me.”
      While Gary Neville echoed Keane’s statement – saying United should never buy a player who is looked after by Raiola again.

      Mino Raiola has said Pogba’s future lies elsewhere
      Neville said: “Paul Pogba is simply the biggest signing, he’s a world champion, won all those trophies at Juventus and there’s a large expectation around him. 
      “However, I can accept a player of that level not playing well. I can accept them even being a little bit down but it’s quite categoric his agent, his best friend has tried to get him out of this football club for the last 16 months. 
      “Whether he’s been loved or not he doesn’t want to be here. You’ve got to find an exit for him, I’m not having a go at him but he doesn’t want to play for Man United he wants to play for Real Madrid, Barca or another club of that ilk.
      “They can’t sign another player with that agent (Raiola), enough is enough.”
      Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher also believes United would be better off without Pogba when quizzed about the situation on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football show.
      “Get rid, I’ve been saying this for 12 months – oh my God, the most overrated player I’ve ever seen in my life!,” he replied.

      “I think the two of them [Raiola and Pogba] are a disgrace.
      “We’ll all look at the agent now and say: “Ask Pogba what does he think” – agents in this day and age are not just agents, they’re a parent, they’re their best friend, they’re a financial adviser, they book holidays, they go away with each other.
      “Those two will be like that (crossed fingers), he’ll be Pogba’s best mate. So Pogba will be well aware of what was going to come out of his mouth, and if he wasn’t, he should sack his agent.”

      Cavani had Man Utd fans raging by tying his laces AFTER being substituted at half-time but became hero with double

      by

      EDINSON CAVANI redeemed himself by scoring twice in Manchester United’s 3-2 win at Southampton having earlier had fans fuming.
      At half-time, Red Devil supporters were raging because he wasn’t ready to be subbed on.

      The Uruguayan international replaced misfiring Mason Greenwood at the break, and was waiting patiently on the touchline before the second half could commence.
      However, he had a problem with his footwear before he was introduced – forcing a trainer to run into the changing room and get a new pair of boots for him.
      Then, with the second half underway he was seen lacing his new pair as the game began.
      United played the first 26 seconds of the second half with 10 men, as Cavani was lacing up.

      Ole Gunner Solskjaer was far from impressed, saying after the game: “You have to be ready as a sub. I know everything about that.”
      And football fans around the globe fumed and poked fun at the 33-year-old for taking an eternity to make his entrance.
      Silly Lukasz wrote: The state of our season has been quite well summed up by the fact that Edinson Cavani must have known for the whole of half time that he was coming on yet still missed the start because he didn’t have his boots on.
      Mo Licker tweeted: “Keane going to love Cavani lace incident.”

      While Pauly Kwestel joked: When people tell me Cavani will bring veteran experience to this United I’ll always remember how United played the first 26 seconds of the 2nd half with 10 men because Cavani wasn’t ready and was still doing his laces.”

      Still, Cavani had the last laugh and eventually was the hero for the Red Devils.
      He had an instant impact, assisting Bruno Fernandes to get United back into a game they were trailing 2-0 at half-time.
      Cavani scored the equaliser, then netted an injury-time winner to send United fans wild.

      Man Utd ratings: Cavani gets top marks but De Gea and Fred struggle in comeback win over Southampton

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED produced a stunning comeback to beat Southampton 3-2 at St Mary’s Stadium.
      The Red Devils fought back from 2-0 down at the break and clinched victory with a dramatic late Edinson Cavani winner.

      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men fell behind to goals from Jan Bednarek and James Ward-Prowse on the south coast.
      However, their fortunes changed when Cavani was introduced at half-time.
      He provided an assist and two goals, as his performance inspired Solskjaer’s side to an unlikely comeback.
      Here’s how SunSport reporter Jordan Davies rated United’s stars.

      DAVID DE GEA – 3
      Was not helped by his defenders for the opener, but was at fault once again in the Premier League after flapping at James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick.
      Was taken off at half time after picking up a knock in the process and replaced by Dean Henderson, which could prove to be a turning point in his career.

      AARON WAN-BISSAKA – 5
      Anonymous in both attack and defence and had little to no impact.
      Struggled to deal with the pace of Southampton’s wide players in the first half but somewhat improved in the second with a good cross for Edinson Cavani.

      HARRY MAGUIRE – 6
      Met his match in Che Adams, who caused him all sorts of problems with his back to goal in the early stages.
      Was amongst the group of players who should have dealt with the near post corner that led to the opening goal.
      VICTOR LINDELOF – 6
      Did very little wrong, and in the second half proved to be a better outlet in attack as United pushed to get back in the game.
      But like his fellow defenders, struggled to deal with the pace and power the Saints’ front men possess.
      ALEX TELLES – 6
      Was pinned back by Southampton’s attack and struggled to have any real influence.
      Gave away several silly free kicks and fouls that could have seen Southampton drift even further in front.
      NEMANJA MATIC – 6
      Was tasked with protecting the back four but the movement from the likes of Adams and Theo Walcott saw him stretched.
      FRED – 5
      Spent most of the game chasing, and copped a lot of criticism from Roy Keane in the Sky Sports studios once more, and rightly so.
      Gave away the needless free-kick that handed Ward-Prowse the chance to make it 2-0.

      Fred spent most of the game chasing shadows and was poorCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      DONNY VAN DE BEEK – 7
      After shining in a number 6 role in mid-week in the Champions League, his qualities and creative intelligence was lost as he was shifted out wide.
      Was one of the few United players probing and being adventurous on the ball, and his influence was far greater in the second half more central.
      BRUNO FERNANDES – 8
      United’s go-to man once more with yet another goal and yet another assist contribution in the second half, teeing up Cavani.
      Went close in the first half too after clipping the post with one effort and denied by a brilliant Alex McCarthy save with another.
      MASON GREENWOOD – 4
      His first start since early November and it was one to forget. Missed two glorious chances in the first half that would have changed the game.
      Was then hauled off at half-time for Edinson Cavani, who ultimately proved to be more effective.
      MARCUS RASHFORD – 6
      An off day for the England striker. Looked isolated in the first half and lost his man Bednarek at the corner that saw Saints go ahead.
      Had a brilliant chance to play in Cavani for a tap-in in the second half but opted to shoot and missed. Made up for it with an assist for the winner however.
      SUBS
      DEAN HENDERSON (FOR DE GEA 45) – 6
      Had very little to do on his Prem debut but made a few solid saves early in the half.
      Will be hoping this is the start of a prolonged period in goal for United as No.1.
      EDINSON CAVANI (FOR GREENWOOD 45) – 10
      The definition of super sub, and saved Man United’s bacon.

      Gave United some purpose in attack and gave Rashford a much-needed partner to play off, before turning the game on its head by assisting Bruno for their first after the break.
      His natural poaching instincts came into play to grab United’s deserved equaliser, and will have definitely earned himself a starting point after a similar effort for the winner.

      Man Utd’s greatest European wins, from beating Bayern Munich in the last minute to George Best’s demolition of Benfica

      by

      FORGET defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir.
      Over the years, Manchester United have enjoyed more favourable nights in Europe.

      The Red Devils have won the European Cup/Champions League three times, as well as the Europa League, European Cup Winners’ Cup, Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup, FIFA Club World Cup – notching some famous victories along the way.
      So if you’re feeling glum United fans, you need not worry.
      Let SunSport take you down memory lane for Manchester United’s greatest European victories.
      MAN UTD 2-1 BAYERN MUNICH, 1999
      They came into the game as underdogs, severely hindered by the absence of midfield hardman Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, who were suspended.

      And for large periods of the game they were outplayed, and in truth were lucky to be only 1-0 down going into the final moments of the 1999 Champions League final.
      The Germans appeared victorious, substituting legend Lothar Matthaus, who received a hero’s welcome as he was clapped off the pitch in the last minute.
      But as the game went into injury time, a scramble in the box was only half-cleared. Ryan Giggs mishit a shot outside the box that fell to Teddy Sheringham, who scuffed the ball home.
      Then, just seconds later and with United sniffing blood, they won a corner which was whipped in by Beckham, headed down by Sheringham for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to stick out a foot and knock the ball into the roof of the net.

      MAN UTD 2-1 BARCELONA, 1991
      Being underdogs in European finals has always suited United.
      In 1999, they faced Johan Cruyff’s Barcelona – featuring Ronald Koeman, Michael Laudrup and Julio Salinas in their star-studded line-up in the 1991 European Cup Winners’ Cup final.
      However, that all-star Barça side didn’t scare United one bit.
      After a drab first half, United took the lead in the second after a Steve Bruce header was tapped over the line by Mark Hughes.
      The Welshman spectacularly added his second of the night with 16 minutes to go, rounding goalie Carles Busquets and finishing from a tight angle from outside the box with a ferocious shot.
      A late free kick from Koeman failed to stir a comeback, and it was United’s night to celebrate.

      PSG 1-3 MAN UTD, 2019
      When United lost the first leg of their last 16 tie in the Champions League to the French champions in 2019 2-0, few gave them a prayer to comeback.
      History was against them, no team had EVER lost a tie 2-0 at home and won an away leg to go through to the next round of the competition.
      However, two first half goals from Romelu Lukaku put United in dreamland.
      Then, a controversial VAR decision for handball gave Marcus Rashford the opportunity to score from the penalty spot, which he did with aplomb.
      It’s still, probably, United’s best performance under boss Solskjaer.

      JUVENTUS 2-3 MAN UTD, 1999
      United don’t do things the easy way.
      On their way to winning the 1999 Champions League, they faced off against Italian giants Juventus in the semi final, who boasted Zinedine Zidane and “That lad must have been born offside” Filippo Inzaghi.
      After scraping a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, United found themselves 2-0 down after 11 minutes in Turin and were heading out.
      But Roy Keane saw things differently, leaping above Zidane to head home from a corner and give United a lifeline.
      Then came the Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole show, with the latter crossing for the former Aston Villa man to head home an equaliser.
      Cole sealed the sensational comeback, after tapping in from a tight angle when team mate Yorke was brought down after rounding the keeper.

      BENFICA 1-4 MAN UTD, 1968
      The stage was Wembley Stadium, a fitting arena for United’s first ever European triumph.
      And it was their favourite son George Best who stole the show, scoring a wonder goal to set his side on their way to victory in the ’68 European Cup final.
      The game headed into extra time, when a late Jaime Graça levelled Bobby Charlton’s earlier strike.
      Like he was famous for, Best went on a mazy run three minutes into the first period of extended time.
      Faced with goalie José Henrique, he threw him with a dummy before rolling the ball into the empty net.
      United added twice more to end with a comfortable 4-1 win.

      MAN UTD 1-0 BARCELONA, 2008
      On their way to winning the 2008 Champions League, United were handed a tough tie against Barcelona in the semi-final.
      The first leg finished 0-0, with Cristiano Ronaldo missing a penalty, so it might’ve looked like they’d blown a good opportunity.
      But when Paul Scholes ferociously rifled a shot past Victor Valdes from 25-yards in the 14th minute, they began to believe another final was their destiny.
      And despite the efforts of a young Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Thierry Henry, and Samuel Eto’o – Barcelona were kept at bay by a brilliant defensive performance from Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown.
      Wild scenes followed the final whistle with the Theatre of Dreams rocking from the crowd’s cheers.

      MAN UTD 7-1 ROMA, 2007
      It goes without saying, but before this moment Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United had enjoyed so many glorious nights in Europe.
      But Fergie would later say that this was his side’s best ever performance under him in European competition.
      You might have forgotten, but United were 2-1 down going into the second leg of this quarter final match.

      And this was a Roma side full of talent – with Daniele De Rossi and Francesco Totti their talisman.
      But they were powerless as United raced to a 4-0 win before half time with goals from Michael Carrick, Alan Smith, Wayne Rooney, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
      Ronaldo added a fifth, Carrick then got his second, before Patrice Evra got himself on the scoresheet to record an 8-3 aggregate win.

      What happened to seven Man Utd kids Sir Alex Ferguson tipped for stardom in 2001 from Darren Fletcher to Luke Chadwick

      by

      SIR ALEX FERGUSON is one of the greatest football managers of all time.
      From being one game from the sack at Old Trafford to transforming the club into a real European heavyweight, Fergie’s tenure will go down in history.

      Sir Alex Ferguson tipped big things from a few players who never quite reached that levelCredit: Reuters

      But the great man did make one or two mistakes along the way.
      From signing the likes of Bebe, Eric Djemba Djemba  and Gabriel Obertan to the infamous David Beckham boot-kicking episode, there were some colourful times during his 26 years at the club.
      After winning the Premier League in 2001, the boss was full of beans for the future.
      Fergie tipped seven youngsters from the United youth team that he predicted were destined for greatness.

      He said: “Darren Fletcher, who we hope will get over his broken leg, is good. Michael Stewart and Luke Chadwick are doing very well, and John O’Shea’s doing well too.
      “There’s a young left-back called Paul Tierney who’s doing well, as is Danny Pugh.
      “But there’s a young boy who has started now, he’s 16, called Kieran Richardson. He’s going to be a fantastic player.”
      Some lived up to his billing but sadly others failed to make the grade. We take a look at who was a hit and who missed the mark.

      John O’Shea
      Mr Versatile, O’Shea even played in goal during his time with United.
      Far from being a flop, O’Shea featured 256 times for the club between 1999 and 2011.
      The Irishman moved on to Sunderland where he captained the Mackems, but couldn’t stop their slide down the leagues.
      O’Shea joined Reading for one season in 2018 before retiring and joining their backroom staff, where he is currently first team coach.

      Darren Fletcher
      A capable midfielder who perhaps never got the credit he deserved for his workmanlike performances in the middle of the park.
      Incredibly the Scot managed to play at the top level while suffering from a serious bowel condition.
      He won five Premier League titles as well as the Champions League during his 342 appearances in 11 years for United.
      Fletcher went on to play for West Brom and Stoke before retiring at the age of 36 at the end of last season to begin regular media appearances.

      Luke Chadwick
      Once talked about as Beckham’s successor, it’s fair to say Chadwick failed to live up to even half of that billing.
      He did feature 38 times in United’s first-team, but that mostly came in cup competitions and coming off the bench.
      Chadwick went on to play for West Ham, Stoke, Norwich, MK Dons and Cambridge United before dropping into non-league to finish his career with Soham Town Rangers.
      The 39-year-old is now coaching in Cambridge’s academy but hit headlines after revealing his sadness at being mocked on the BBC quiz show They Think It’s All Over – earning an apology from presenters Nick Hancock and Gary Lineker.

      Kieran Richardson
      Fergie described how Richardson would go on to become ‘a fantastic player’.
      Like O’Shea and Fletcher, Richardson can look back on a pretty successful career, even making eight England appearances and scoring twice.
      He made 81 appearances for United between 2002 and 2007, and went on to play for Sunderland, Fulham, Aston Villa and Cardiff.

      Danny Pugh
      Pugh had the honour of making his debut for United when he replaced the legend that is Ruud van Nistelrooy in a Champions League game against Maccabi Haifa in 2002.
      But he went on to feature only another six times before being shipped out to Leeds as part of the deal that took Alan Smith to Old Trafford.
      Pugh also played for Preston, Stoke, a second spell with Leeds before floating down the leagues.
      He is currently coaching at Port Vale after seeing out his playing days with the League Two club.

      Michael Stewart
      A defensive midfielder in the time when Roy Keane was bossing the opposition as well as the dressing room, Stewart was always going to find it difficult to break through.
      The Scot made eight appearances for United between 1998 and 2005 before being moved on to Hibs permanently.
      He joined their great rivals Hearts in 2007 where he stayed for three season, before a spell with Genclerbirligi in Turkey and his career ended in 2011 after a nine-game stint at Charlton.
      Capped four times by Scotland, he later applied to be a candidate for the Scottish National Party in the 2015 general election – but failed to secure the nomination.

      Paul Tierney
      After shining at youth levels at United, Tierney made only ONE first-team appearance – in the League Cup against West Brom in 2003.
      The right-back joined up with Scottish side Livingston in 2005 but was flogged on to Blackpool when they were relegated from the SPL.
      After a loan spell with Stockport, he was released by the Seasiders. Tierney ended his career with a three-game stint with Altincham.

      Man Utd star paul Paul Pogba urged to ‘move on’ by club legend Paul Ince amid Real Madrid transfer interest

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Paul Ince has told Paul Pogba to ‘move on’ just weeks after the midfielder admitted it is his ‘dream’ to play for Real Madrid.
      Pogba was once again on the bench at the weekend as United played out a dull 0-0 draw at home to Chelsea.

      Fred and Scott McTominay bagged the anchoring spots in the midfield, with Bruno Fernandes just in front.
      Pogba did play some part in the game as he replaced veteran Juan Mata on 58 minutes.
      But Ince believes the time has come for the 27-year-old Frenchman to leave Old Trafford.

      Speaking to beIN Sports, Ince said: “For him to be sitting on the bench and watching, with no disrespect, McTominay and Fred playing in his position, I would be saying, ‘I must be doing something wrong if I can’t get in this team’.

      “I know he has had an injury, and he might be trying to bring him on a little later on. But I think it is time to move on.
      “He has come out in the last two weeks and said he wants to join Real Madrid.
      “I think his performances, since he has been here, have been inconsistent.
      “Paul Pogba is a world-class player, and when he moved to Old Trafford, I thought [it would be] great. But all he has done is been a problem.

      MANCHESTER UNITED goalkeeper Sergio Romero is reportedly fuming with the club after they blocked a potential move to Everton.

      Romero – who has just one year left on his contract at Old Trafford – has fallen down the pecking order following Dean Henderson’s return.

      And the 33-year-old is understood to have been desperate to compete for regular first team football having not featured in the Premier League since the 2017-18 season.
      According to The Athletic, Everton had a £2million loan offer turned down for the ex-Samporia star.
      The Merseyside outfit were even prepared to cover his £100,000-a-week wages, but United are seeking £8m in order to get Romero off their books.

      His failed transfer has away has angered Romero, with the shot-stopper also furious having not been told he would be omitted from United’s Champions League squad.
      Lee Grant was included instead as the club’s third-choice – showing further proof he has no future at the Theatre of Dreams.
      Having been part of the squad since 2015, Romero’s wife Eliana slammed United on Instagram last week stating he deserves more respect.
      She wrote: “Sergio Romero worked hard for his club.

      “Last trophy they won, they lifted it with him.
      “He helped the team reach four finals/semi-finals and then he was on the bench, only to lose them all.
      “It is time for them to return the opportunity and let him go. RESPECT FOR ONCE!!!! [sic].”
      ESPN have stated that even United players have expressed their disappointment to the way their team-mate has been treated.
      A move to the MLS could still be on the horizon with a number of clubs believed to be keen on signing him ahead of their October 29 deadline.
