      ‘I could have done what he did’ – Martin O’Neill, 73, slams Man Utd star live on TNT Sports after Nottingham Forest loss

      by

      PATRICK DORGU has been slammed by Martin O’Neill for his poor performance in Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.Anthony Elanga scored a stunning solo goal to condemn his former team to their 13th defeat of the Premier League season on Tuesday night.Patrick Dorgu came under fire from Martin O’Neill for his performance at Nottingham ForestO’Neill, a Forest hero in the 70s, said he could have done Dorgu’s job even nowO’Neill, a double European champion with Forest, was delighted to see his old club tighten their grip on third in the Prem, as they bid to qualify for next year’s Champions League.Elanga flooded forward from his own penalty area in the fifth minute, covering 85m in the space of just nine seconds, to lash home the opener.United dominated the ball at 68 per cent possession and had 23 shots to Forest’s eight, but none of them too threatening for Matz Sels.While Ruben Amorim’s side showed signs of improving on the ball, individual mistakes and the lack of firepower up front were glaring.READ MORE ON MAN UTDAnd O’Neill was particularly scathing in his assessment of Dorgu, who was playing just his seventh match since arriving from Lecce for £29.4 million in January.Working as a pundit for TNT Sports, the 73-year-old said: “They had Dorgu playing tonight. I could have done what he did! “He’s wide left-hand side, he’s got the ball and you’re saying: ‘Come on! Your job is to take players on. Get at them!’ “He’s laid it inside three times in the first 10 minutes of the second half… to the opposition! Most read in FootballJoin SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford”Maybe it’s no confidence, I don’t know what it is. But these type of things are all over the field for Manchester United.”Rio Ferdinand highlighted that Dorgu was caught on the wrong side of Elanga, before he made his incredible game-winning run at the edge of Forest’s box early on.’That’s why I’m the manager’ – Ruben Amorim hits back at Wayne Rooney as Man Utd boss aims to win Premier LeagueAnd the 20-year-old regularly missed placed passes throughout his 90 minutes.But fans have also criticised Alejandro Garnacho – who skied several shots – for not passing to Dorgu, who was making well-meaning overlapping runs.Dorgu was coming off a stellar performance against Real Sociedad in the Europa League, where he had five shots on goal and won Bruno Fernandes’ game-leading penalty.The Dane was crucial to United winning 4-1 on aggregate and advancing to face Lyon in the quarter-finals.But the left-wing back hasn’t quite hit the ground running in his four Prem games.Forest was his first league game back since his three-match suspension for picking up a straight red for a ruthless challenge on Omari Hutchinson against Ipswich in February. Amorim was desperate to bolster his left-wing options in January with Diogo Dalot being forced to switch from the right side, Luke Shaw injured and Tyrell Malacia sent out on loan to PSV Eindhoven. O’Neill further suggested that the current United squad lacks the depth and quality to genuinely contend in the Prem.The Northern Irishman, whose last managerial job saw him sacked by Forest in 2019, added: “Man United have some really good players.”Obviously, Fernandes is a top-quality player. But they haven’t enough good players to be a threat in this league.

And who was the biggest disappointment?Check out Kostas Lianos’ players ratings below and find out…Andre Onana – 5Can’t blame him for Nottingham Forest’s winner as Anthony Elanga’s shot was too good. Made a stunning save to deny Ryan Yates’ header without knowing the Forest ace was offside.Leny Yoro – 5Should have been more aware before Elanga’s goal that came straight after a Man Utd corner-kick in which he had moved forward.One could argue Yoro made up for it when he stopped a fine run by Elanga in the second half with an amazing and well-timed challenge to save United from a second.Matthijs de Ligt – 4The centre-back was also nowhere to be seen before Elanga’s goal. No other major errors but should have done better on the rebound after Diogo Dalot’s header hit the crossbar.Noussair Mazraoui – 4Completely hopeless during Elanga’s run that led to the goal and struggled in his defensive duties, especially in the first half. Not sure if the full-back fits in a defensive trio as part of Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation…Diogo Dalot – 6A strong performance down the right wing with some fine runs and good crosses. Registered United’s best chance in the first half when his header rattled Forest’s crossbar.Casemiro – 4At fault for Elanga’s goal as there was absolutely no midfield presence during Forest’s counter.Loads of inaccurate passes and got booked for a reckless challenge on Yates before complaining in a very unjust way. Registered three shots but didn’t cause concern for Matz Sels.Manuel Ugarte – 4Cut a rather anonymous figure, among the guilty parties for Elanga’s goal as Man Utd’s midfield was caught sleeping. Rightly substituted at half-time.Patrick Dorgu – 5A fine display during the first half as he cut a strong presence down the left flank, even though he was completely outrun by Elanga before the goal.But the versatile full-back was the complete opposite in the second half with a series of errors against a stunning Neco Williams.Bruno Fernandes – 6Registered the game’s first shot on target with a powerful effort that required a lunge from Sels, and that was basically United’s best shot throughout the entire match.Fernandes produced some fine long balls and upgraded Man Utd’s midfield after Ugarte and Casemiro’s exits.Alejandro Garnacho – 2Very disappointing performance from the winger. Completely hopeless before Elanga’s goal with a desperate tackle and was lucky to avoid a booking for a ridiculous challenge on Yates while the Argentina international was on the attack.A game riddled with heavy touches, failed dribbles, wrong passes, blocked shots and a silly yellow card as he kicked the ball away in frustration. Had a good shot on 69 minutes as a saving grace.Joshua Zirkzee – 3Was supposed to be a striker but was often seen playing too deep and didn’t register a chance in front of Forest’s goal. Didn’t inspire any danger even after Rasmus Hojlund came on to help him up front.SUBSRasmus Hojlund – 5Was much better than a woeful Zirkzee up front for Man Utd. But didn’t cause any significant danger and never looked like a goalscoring threat. Harry Maguire looked far more lethal as a false nine after he entered the pitch with a lot more presence inside the box.Christian Eriksen – 4Didn’t really elevate United’s midfield after Ugarte and Casemiro’s exit. The sort of performance that makes one wonder about his Old Trafford future…Harry Maguire – 5Only played nine minutes as a false nine and was by far Man Utd’s best forward. Brought on as a desperation move that almost paid off with the best chance of the match as his last-gasp effort was cleared by Murillo just off the line.Mason Mount – N/A More

      ‘I felt like I was dying’ – Top Scots football presenter provides major update on mystery illness that forced him off TV

      by

      DARRELL CURRIE has revealed he’s trying out natural medicines in his bid to get to the bottom of the mystery illness that’s forced him off TV.The popular presenter, 42, has opened up on why he’s decided to move away from the traditional western medical approaches.12.09.2017 Celtic v Paris Saint Germain, UEFA Champions League …………………… DARRELL CURRIE WITH HENRIK LARSSON AND CHRIS SUTTONCredit: Kenny Ramsay – The Sun GlasgowDarrell Currie presenting for BT SportCredit: AlamyCurrie is one of the most prominent hosts in Scottish football TV.He was a lead presenter for a host of top networks, including the ESPN and BT Sport.Currie anchored BT’s weekly Score programme and when the channel became TNT Sports, he was installed as one of the top presenters.But in September 2022, he began to feel immense pain while anchoring live coverage of Celtic’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid.He described it as feeling like “a bomb went off in my brain.”Just weeks later, the same issue arose while he was presenting Scotland’s match against the Republic of Ireland, where he revealed he was struggling to stand up.Currie was taken off-air by his concerned producer and he hasn’t presented a live football match since.In January 2023, Currie revealed he had been battling a chronic pain condition.Most read in FootballAmong his symptoms, he was in constant pain, feeling dizzy and struggling to walk.More than two years on, exactly what has been causing the illness remains a mystery with no conclusive diagnosis.STEPHEN DOBBIE EXCLUSIVE Life with Rodgers AND Ferguson and why I had to say no to CelticThat’s why Currie has decided to head down the route of alternative medicine.During his journey to get to the bottom of the situation, Currie feels like he’s been treated like a guinea pig.He also feels he’s been written off entirely by some medical professionals.Of a visit to a London-based clinic, Currie told The Sunday Times: “That doctor couldn’t work out what was wrong with me so effectively just said I wouldn’t get better.”I felt like he was giving up on me. Saying things like that is criminal. I was at my lowest, hearing that just kills your mentality.”It really affected my daughter too. The teachers at her school pulled me aside and said how worried she was.”He continued: “Sometimes I felt like a bit of a guinea pig.”They were just throwing things at me. Some would prescribe things without naming the meds, then you start reading about them and think, wait a minute, why am I taking this?”Currie thought he was getting somewhere last September when a bacteria connected to Lyme disease was found in his blood.He began a daily regime of three rounds of antibiotics.But instead of the recovery he desired, Currie found that his condition actually DETERIORATED.Ultimately, the amount of medicine he was taking left him feeling like he was dying.Currie continued: “I was getting crushing head pains again and terrible dizziness.”Just standing up was a struggle”By the new year, the small progress that I had made up to then vanished and every day felt like a marathon.”I Just felt that like this amount of drugs was going to kill me. I felt like I was dying, honestly.”Currie, who believes his condition is the effects of long Covid, possible vaccine side-effects and Lyme disease, has now decided to change tact in terms of the treatment he’s getting.He’s started a new diet and taking herbal medicines.Currie believes there’s hope with his new outlook.He continued: “My new approach is a healthy one: I don’t know if it’s going to have all the answers but it’s not going to hurt me.”On the whole I’m not much worse off than I was on the pain medication.”That’s pretty unbelievable given that most people with a chronic condition will draw on those meds for the rest of their life.”He added: “Conditions that can’t be cured today could be cured tomorrow, so you can’t give up. You have to keep on fighting in everything you do.”Currie is working as a consultant for TNT Sports while he also returned to broadcasting with Premier Sports.READ MORE SUN STORIESAlongside pundits Michael Stewart and Alan Hutton, Currie hosts the Scottish Football Social Club on YouTube every Monday night.Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page More
