    Owen Hargreaves ‘amazed’ by ‘old school’ Man Utd player and says fans will want to see more of him

    by

    OWEN HARGREAVES has been left amazed by one “old school” Manchester United player after the Red Devils’ win over Real Betis. Following a tricky first-half, United pulled away from their Spanish opponents to give themselves a commanding 4-1 lead for the second-leg.

    Much of the damage had already been done by the time Facundo Pellistri came off the bench for Antony with eight minutes to go.
    He made an immediate impact off the bench which led directly to Wout Weghorst’s goal.
    Almost straight after coming on, Pellistri received the ball directly from Bruno Fernandes’ out-swinging corner.
    Despite Real Betis defenders charging towards him, the 21-year-old dribbled around the outside past two men before sending a drilled cross back in.

    Scott McTominay’s shot was blocked before Weghorst pounced on the rebound.
    That was the high point of Pellistri’s cameo performance and it left BT pundits and former United players Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves impressed.
    Asked by presenter Jules Breach why United fans don’t see him more often, Hargreaves said: “I don’t know.
    “I was amazed how quick he was. A lot of the guys, like Jadon [Sancho] and Antony, they like to dribble and slow down and come inside, but he doesn’t want any of that.

    “He just [likes] getting on the outside, old school, just sprinting past people. And it’s good to see because when he does that, the centre-forwards know when the ball is going to come in, where the other wingers take a lot of touches.
    “Scholesy’s right, that was a brilliant cameo. I think United fans would love to see more of him.”
    The Uruguayan winger signed for the club in 2020 and has been tipped as a potential star for the future.
    But he has found game time very difficult to come by this season with only four appearances in all competitions this campaign.
    Reports had suggested he could move on loan in January but Pellistri eventually stayed with the club. More

      The Saints-supporting PM said: “Last year the Lionesses’ victory changed the game.
      “Young girls know when they take to the pitch that football is for them and, thanks to the Lionesses, they too could be a part of the next generation to bring it home for their country.”
      England women’s captain Leah Williamson added: “The success of the summer has inspired so many young girls to pursue their passion for football.

      “We see it as our responsibility to open the doors for them to do so and this announcement makes that possible. This is the legacy that we want to live much longer than us as a team.”
      It follows the Let Girls Play joint campaign by the Lionesses and the FA following their Euros 22 triumph.
      Schools will be told that where it is wanted they must offer girls the same activities as boys – also including rugby and cricket – in lessons and after-school clubs.
      Ministers also want teachers to ring fence at least two hours a week for sports, although they cannot dictate how much of the curriculum it takes up.

      The drink, only stocked in ASDA, is hugely popular with kids and teenagers – but now a school has banned it.
      KSI today shared an email from a headteacher of an unnamed school to its pupils, saying they will be punished if they’re caught with the £1.50 beverage.
      It reads: “Hi everyone,
      “Prime drinks are now a banned item. DO NOT bring them into school.
      “They will be confiscated if found or seen, and you will be sanctioned with a -3.
      “A reminder to you all that selling any items on school premises is not allowed and will lead to a suspension from school.”

      It is not known why the drink, which is made up of 10 per cent coconut water and 825 milligrams of electrolytes, has been banned.
      But KAI is already plotting his revenge – and claims he will be playing a prank them, as well as several other schools.
      To his 8.2million Twitter followers he wrote: “A school had the AUDACITY to ban Prime, leaving their students dehydrated.

      “To counter this blatant wrongdoing, we’ll be sending a truckload of Prime to this school and many other schools.
      “Just retweet this tweet to represent your school to get some Prime.”
      Just one hour after posting the Tweet, it had been shared nearly 8,000 times.
      Two years after their final match in 2019, the two social media moguls Logan Paul and KSI put their rivalry behind them to come up with the Prime hydration idea.

      During a live stream, Paul and KSI revealed that they are aiming to “rival some of the biggest companies on Earth” with their new beverage, including “Pepsi, Coke, Gatorade, and Powerade.”
      The YouTubers claimed that their biggest goals for their collaborative drink were taste and hydration. More
