      Man Utd boss Ralf Rangnick reveals he phoned Covid-hit stars with HOMEWORK when training ground shut down amid outbreak

      by

      RALF RANGNICK said that his Manchester United stars missed some key days of learning due to the Covid outbreak at Carrington — but most of them did their homework.The Old Trafford interim boss had earmarked the week leading up to Christmas with no fixtures as a good time to get ideas into his players.
      Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has revealed he gave his players homework to do when the training ground was shut
      Instead that was extended as the Red Devils were forced to cancel two Prem fixtures and shut their training ground for four days due to the virus.
      But Rangnick spoke regularly with his isolated players to make sure they were keeping in shape while at home.
      He also worked with his coaches to prepare videos for the squad to watch and get a better understanding of what is expected of them under the new regime.
      Rangnick said: “Obviously during those four days we couldn’t do it. I spoke with most of the players who were in isolation or positively tested.
      “I spoke with 16 or 17 players individually over the phone to hear how they are and how they were feeling. But we did a lot of work in between with my coaching staff, preparing video footage.
      “We’ll follow up on that because it’s important that they really know what it’s about, how we should play, how to find the best possible balance of playing offensively.

      “We must make use of the offensive players we have but at the same time be able to defend and make sure we get further clean sheets in the future.”
      The former Red Bull Leipzig boss was encouraged by the condition of his players when they returned to their HQ on Tuesday.
      And United had an extra day to prepare after their trip to struggling Newcastle was put back 24 hours until tonight for television coverage.
      Rangnick said: “They all had a schedule at home. Physically they look good, they had a very intense training session when they came back.
      “The energy level was high, all the players were fully engaged.
      “It could also happen that we rotate from one game to the next, especially when you play every three days.”
      He said the players have come back in such good shape that he is likely to have a selection headache at St James’ Park.
      He said: “Right now everyone is available apart from Paul Pogba. It will not be so easy to decide on the first XI but also the eight players on the bench.”
      Rangnick has added two coaches to his backroom staff in recent weeks — in Chris Armas and Ewan Sharp — as well as sports psychologist Sascha Lense.
      He confirmed their contracts, like his, are for the remainder of the season — but that their could be scope for them to stay longer at Old Trafford.
      Rangnick said: “Their contracts are until the end of the season but this doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t be able to stay beyond that.
      “I’ve worked with all three of them in the past and know how good they are.”

      The England goalkeeper’s WAG, 25, reposted a snap showing a protester with a placardCredit: Refer to Caption
      It shows a protester with a placard reading: “Even if you’re not conspiracy minded, something in your soul has to say…something is wrong.”
      Megan did not post a comment with the snap.
      And the girlfriend of England defender John Stones, 27, has also posted anti-vax messages.
      Olivia Naylor, 32, said: “Do not get a vaccine so you can travel because that ski trip means nothing and your human rights mean everything.”
      “Even if you are vaccinated, say no to proving it. It’s a severe breach of human rights.”
      It is feared that by reposting the messages Megan and Olivia could dissuade others from having the vaccine.
      Covid booster jabs protect against Omicron and offer the best chance to get through the pandemic, health officials have repeatedly said.
      The Sun’s Jabs Army campaign is helping get the vital extra vaccines in Brits’ arms to ward off the need for any new restrictions.

      Brentford to launch £14m transfer swoop for wing sensation Brennan Johnson but Nottingham Forest want more

      by

      THOMAS FRANK’S Brentford could go to £14million in their bid to land Nottingham Forest wideman Brennan Johnson.However that might still not be enough to do a deal.

      The Bees have been buzzing round Johnson, 20, for months.
      His form has tempted the Prem new boys to reignite their interest and come up with a better offer.
      Arsenal, Tottenham and newly-rich Newcastle have all been linked with the Wales international.
      But Forest are keen to get promotion this season from the Championship.
      They are happy to risk it even if it means Johnson running down his contract and entering the final year.
      And sources close to the deal also reveal Johnson would rather wait to see if an even bigger team came in for him.

      Rock-bottom Derby want £2m but may need to sell during the month as the hunt for a new owner drags on. More

      Racist thugs who abuse footballers online will be banned from grounds for 10 years

      by

      RACISTS who abuse footballers online will be banned from grounds for up to ten years.Home Secretary Priti Patel is to bring forward legislation after stars were targeted at Euro 2020.
      Bukayo Saka was subject to racist abuse after he missed a penalty in the Euro final at Wembley
      Laws which can exclude fans for violence, disorder or racist and homophobic chanting at games will be extended to cover internet hatred.
      England stars Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka were subjected to abuse after they missed penalties in the Euro final at Wembley.
      Ms Patel announced she will table an amendment to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill early in 2022.
      She said: “Those responsible for appalling racist abuse online must be punished.
      “The changes to the law I’m announcing will make sure they are banned from matches.”
      Football Banning Orders can be applied for three to ten years, while breaches may lead to six months in prison.
      Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said they were also ensuring “tech firms tackle the hate on their sites”.

      Man Utd leading £60m transfer chase for teenage midfielder Florian Wirtz as Ralf Rangnick targets FOUR German wonderkids

      by

      RALF RANGNICK will step up his efforts to land £60million-rated German super-kid Florian Wirtz.The Manchester United boss has also drawn up a hitlist of crack Bundesliga rookies he wants at Old Trafford — whether he is in charge next season or not.

      Yet his No 1 target is Bayer Leverkusen teenager Wirtz — described as the best young German midfielder in decades.
      The 18-year-old has long been on the radar of some of Europe’s top dogs.
      However, he has hinted he would prefer to develop his game in the Bundesliga.
      Yet Rangnick is prepared to test that resolve by offering him a chance to star at United.
      He knows the prospect of a leading role at Old Trafford would be hard to reject.
      United have also been watching Leipzig’s Amadou Haidara and Boubacar Kamara of Marseille — but Wirtz is their first choice.

      Ex-Germany and Liverpool star Didi Hamann has called him the best central midfielder he has seen in years, after two stunning seasons at Leverkusen.
      Wirtz made his debut just three weeks after his 17th birthday and became his nation’s youngest-ever Under-21 international at the same age.
      He has since been called up into Germany’s senior squad.
      United know they would have to pay big bucks to sign him, as his Leverkusen deal runs to 2026.
      But Rangnick will tell the top brass he is worth the money, with a summer deal likelier than January.
      The club had already increased their scouting operation in Germany over the past two years. That has stepped up under Rangnick — and even if he moves upstairs at the end of the season,  he will have a big say on recruits.
      A United source said: “The new manager knows practically everybody in German football and there is huge excitement behind the scenes about what it could mean for United in the next few years.
      “Germany is a hotbed of talent and he has already flagged up a handful of names.
      “Everyone is hoping Rangnick can help United steal a march on some of our rivals.”
      The three youngsters he is most keen on are Luca Netz, Eric Martel and Armel Bella-Kotchap.

      Left-back Netz, 18, joined Borussia Monchengladbach in August after only 15 appearances for Hertha Berlin.
      Defensive midfielder Martel, 19 and on loan at Austria Vienna from Leipzig, can also operate at centre-back.
      And Paris-born centre-back Bella-Kotchap, 20, played a big role in Bochum’s promotion to the Bundesliga last season.

      Jose Mourinho in transfer raid on Man Utd for whizkid Charlie Wellens, 19, who impressed Roma boss when at Old Trafford

      Wellens, 19, was brought into first-team training by Mourinho for experience.
      The Special One wanted to take him to Spurs, who are still interested.
      Now the North London club and Roma could battle it out in the January transfer window or the summer.
      Wellens was called into United’s Champions League squad and is playing Under-21 football — but he may have a better chance of progress elsewhere.
      It’s not the first time Wellens has attracted interest from an Italian side.
      Serie A champions Inter Milan were interested in signing the midfielder last year.

      But his camp have their sights on a free transfer switch to the Bundesliga and a major payday.
      Nketiah is yet to have a concrete offer, though, and the Eagles are hovering as he is a player they admire and could move for him in this window or next summer.
      Palace transfer guru Dougie Freedman watched Nketiah net a hat-trick in Arsenal’s 5-1 Carabao Cup win over Sunderland last week.
      Speaking after his goal scoring exploits in the Cup, Nketiah reitterated his desire to play more football.
