      Another Man Utd legend accuses them of forcing him out of Old Trafford seat after Norman Whiteside’s wife slammed club

      by

      ANOTHER Manchester United legend has accused the club of forcing him out of his Old Trafford seat. Gordon Hill, 69, played more than 100 times for the Red Devils between 1975 and 1978.Former Manchester United winger Gordon Hill complained about being moved from his Old Trafford seatCredit: GettyHe vowed to go to Sir Jim Ratcliffe to get the issue resolvedCredit: PACredit: XAnd after retiring in 1991, the former winger says he has had a season ticket at the leaking Theatre of Dreams for 28 years.But he took to X on Friday night to claim he had been booted from his regular spot in the stadium.Now Hill plans to go right to the top and take up the issue with new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.The six-cap England international footballer – who won the FA Cup with United in 1977 – wrote: “Looks like I will not be taking my season tickets after having them from 1996, and being told you will be relocated.READ MORE ON MAN UTD”I cannot believe this from a club I represented and played my heart out for. “I was given a reason which was bloody ridiculous I will be speaking to Jim. Not happy.”Hill, who was controversially sold to Derby in 1978 despite being top scorer and a fan favourite, got a mixed reaction in the replies on social media.BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSOne said: “Welcome to being a ‘normal’ supporter with the rest of us.”Most read in FootballAnother replied: “Another entitled ex-footballer.”But a third added: “That’s so poor Gordon, and even more so as a former player come on @ManUtd sort it out!”Manchester United’s fall from glory since Sir Alex Ferguson A fourth typed: “It’s a disgrace how they’ve treated your self as a former player and a lot of the older fans.”And a final user asked the reason for the change.Hill added: “Ale room for Academy and women’s team. That’s it.”The claims by Hill come just weeks after Norman Whiteside’s wife said her husband had received similar treatment. Dee Whiteside raged on X: “So, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been a loyal supporter, doesn’t matter if you played for your club, @ManUtd can just dump you from your seat when they feel like it, so they can expand exec seating! Absolute disgrace!”The displacements of Hill and Whiteside, who made 278 appearances for United through the eighties, and won the FA Cup twice, is part of the plan by the club to centralise hospitality seats into one area.A Manchester United spokesperson said about the latest situation and online complaint from Hill: “We understand the disappointment felt by Gordon and other season ticket-holders affected by seat relocations.”These happen for various reasons, including, next season, the moving of matchday hospitality seats into consolidated blocks to address fan concerns about them being dispersed around the stadium.”Other changes next season include the removal of hospitality seating from the Stretford End and installation of further rail seating in the North-West Quadrant, bringing benefits to many fans but also causing some disruption.READ MORE SUN STORIES”No additional hospitality seats are being created at the expense of season ticket-holders — in fact, hospitality seating will reduce by more than 500 next season.”We are committed to working with all season ticket-holders affected by relocations, including Gordon, to find them the best possible alternative seats elsewhere in the ground.”Norman Whiteside’s wife ranted about similar treatmentCredit: RexHill, right, helped the Red Devils win the FA Cup in 1977Credit: Rex More

      Gary Neville says ‘my heart sank’ after seeing what Erik ten Hag did before Man Utd clash – but Carragher loved it

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Neville admitted he was heartbroken by Erik ten Hag’s angry reaction towards Jamie Carragher’s scathing analysis.Carragher pulled no punches while criticising United’s performance on Monday Night Football following their dismal 2-1 loss to Fulham at Old Trafford.Man Utd legend Gary Neville disagreed with Erik ten Hag’s response to Jamie CarragherCredit: Youtube – The OverlapCarracher ‘loved’ Ten Hag’s response as that could actually help Man UtdCredit: GettyThe Liverpool legend chastised the Red Devils’ midfield as there was a huge gap between the middle and the back which has allowed many other Premier League teams to run riot during counter-attacks this season.Ten Hag addressed that analysis before Wednesday’s FA Cup victory over Nottingham Forest and hit back by claiming the pundit has been against his team from the start and is not always objective.The Dutch tactician’s response, though, didn’t sit well with Neville whose “heart sank” after hearing his statement.The ex-England international linked up with Carragher on The Overlap to discuss the recent incident and argued the ex-Ajax boss should have taken the high road.Read More on Man UtdNeville said: “I must admit that when I saw it appear, my heart sank a little, from a Manchester United perspective, that he was getting involved in that. “The reality is that he might be secretly or privately annoyed and think there are some points you [Carragher] made that are wrong.”But [he has to think], ‘We have conceded a lot of chances, I’m not going to win this one, we’ve just lost a game, got a big game against Nottingham Forest, let’s not look like I’m even interested in that’. That was my thinking.”Carragher also addressed Ten Hag’s response on his column at The Telegraph where he even stated he “loved” what he heard from the Dutchman.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSBut the legendary defender wasn’t at all sarcastic as he hinted that a fightback could indeed lead to a turnaround in results as well as performances.Carragher wrote: “My analysis on Sky’s Monday Night Football last week was intended to demonstrate why United are so inconsistent. ‘Oh my God!’ Jamie Carragher leaves Gary Neville and Jill Scott speechless with cooking confession”Manager Erik ten Hag had a go back for what he perceived as unfair criticism. “He felt I had been critical from day one. Actually it was from game two when his United team lost at Brentford – but it was directed at the players, not the manager.”But fair play to him for saying what he did. I have nothing but respect and admiration for managers who defend themselves and their teams. “If creating a siege mentality at United leads to positive results and improved performances, it is the perfect response.” More

      Chelsea set for major coaching shake-up with new special role despite Mauricio Pochettino insisting they don’t need it

      by

      CHELSEA are set to sign set-piece specialists despite manager Mauricio Pochettino dismissing their importance.The Blues have lagged this season under Pochettino as they are 11th in the Premier League and lost the Carabao Cup final to Jurgen Klopp’s young Liverpool side – despite splashing £1billion in two years.Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is set to sign set-piece specialistsCredit: GettyChelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino insisted there is no need for set-piece specialistsCredit: RexThe West Londoners are also struggling in set-pieces as Pochettino’s men have only scored six times from set plays this term, while other teams are already in double figures.According to The Telegraph, Chelsea’s co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali have already sounded out candidates to work within the new department.The set-piece department will operate across the entire club, rather than focusing solely on the senior team.However, there is no indications as to how closely those coaches would work with Pochettino and his staff.Read More on ChelseaThe Argentine tactician insisted he doesn’t need that kind of help by declaring “football belongs to the players, not to the specialists”.Pochettino said last month: “We work a lot on set-pieces. We have specialists. “We are a coaching staff in charge of everything. We have a group of analysts for set-pieces. “After that, it is about the quality of the player. It is about the takers. We don’t have a specialist. Maybe Chilly [Ben Chilwell] is good in the delivery, but we don’t have a specialist after that.Most read in Football“When you have good takers, and of course, Wolves have good takers, and like Manchester City have or other clubs. “It is not down to the work. We work similarly. But the problem is to have good takers.”Jade Lebeouf’s most liked Instagram postsThis turn of events raises questions as to how much influence Pochettino currently has at Chelsea.When asked about Conor Gallagher’s contract, which runs out in 2025, the ex-Tottenham boss suggested this is between the club and the player as he has to stay “in his place”.BEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSPochettino said on Friday: “It’s only between the club and Conor that can make the deal. I am the coach that needs to be in my place. I cannot say nothing.”Asked why he would not comment, the ex-Southampton boss said: “Because there is nothing to win for me. What am I going to say? I am the head coach. “My job is to coach the team and to pick the decisions for tomorrow [against Brentford], for the starting 11 and squad, and try to improve the players and try to win games. That is my job.“We have a very good relationship with the owners and sporting directors. “My office is always open and we have a very good relationship and dialogue. We are open to help in the way they think or believe we can help.” More
