    Ronaldo was an unused sub and made unwanted headlines after storming down the tunnel before the match had ended.
    And it left supporters fuming and hitting out at the United legend, whose future remains up in the air.
    One said: “Ronaldo is a disgrace. 37 years of age and storming off like a petulant child.”
    Another said: “Petulant child lol. The way Ronaldo always makes it about himself is comical at best.

    “United finding form and he didn’t fit the match plan. Support your club mates in what was a brilliant display from MUFC on the night.”
    One added: “Ronaldo’s attitude when things are not going his way is terrible. You’re 37 ffs!
    “The world can’t continue to revolve around you.”
    Another added: “Terminate Ronaldo’s contract. Walking down the tunnel before the game is over. Embarrassing.

    “If he played today we scrape a draw at best.”
    Ronaldo lost his place after United’s 0-0 draw with Newcastle on the weekend, with Marcus Rashford replacing him up front.
    And his tantrum is unlikely to have helped his cause, with Ten Hag vowing to deal with the unhappy superstar.
    He told Amazon Prime: “I was there, I did see him but I haven’t spoke to him.
    “I will deal with that tomorrow, we are celebrating this victory and now we have to recover from this on Saturday against Chelsea, another big game and that’s what makes the Premier League so exciting.”

    And Fury is already deep in camp, so much so that he is logging off his social media accounts.
    Saying his goodbyes, he posted: “I’m off Instagram I’ll see you in the real world stay blessed.” (sic)
    This is not the first time Fury, 34, has done so, rather it has become a pre-fight ritual for the heavyweight star.
    But the Gypsy King does have a team who will post on his behalf online.

    Fury prepares for consecutive fights on home soil, having knocked out Dillian Whyte, 34, at Wembley Stadium back in April.
    Not too many fans will be bowled over by Fury’s opponent, considering how comfortably he won his first two against Chisora.
    But after Anthony Joshua, 33, failed to agree terms and Oleksandr Usyk, 35, ruled himself out with injury, Fury was short of options.

    But the venue was changed to North London once Chisora, 38, became the frontrunner for a crack at the famous green and gold belt.
    Fury vs Chisora 3 will be the second boxing event to take place at Tottenham’s shiny £1bn stadium.
    The 62,850-seater arena was the setting for Joshua’s first defeat to Usyk in September 2021.

    Bayern Munich shortlist Harry Kane as a ‘serious contender’ for transfer if Tottenham star decides not to renew contract

    BAYERN MUNICH have reportedly made Harry Kane a “serious contender” as a top transfer target should he decide not renew his contract.The striker, who is closing in on becoming England’s all-time top scorer, has been in red-hot form for Tottenham this term.
    Fresh transfer rumours regarding Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Harry Kane have emergedCredit: Getty
    He goes into tonight’s showdown against Manchester United at Old Trafford with ten goals and two assists to his name already with Spurs third in the Premier League.
    The 29-year-old tried to force through a move to Manchester City just over a year ago but Spurs dug their heels in and kept their talisman.
    He was then linked with Bayern during the recent summer window, but once again Tottenham refused to do business and insisted that the star was going nowhere.
    However, speculation continues to rumble on over Kane’s future due to his contract ending in 2024.

    He would then be able to move abroad and leave for nothing, which could force Antonio Conte’s side to cash in at the end of this season rather than risk losing him on a free.
    A fresh report from Sky Germany is now claiming that Bayern are ready and waiting to swoop if no new deal is signed as they assessed recent transfer rumours regarding the Bundesliga giants.
    It also adds that Kane could be interested in order to achieve his ambition of winning silverware.
    The superstar, who is yet to make a decision on an extension, was asked ahead of last week’s Champions League match with Eintracht Frankfurt about the Bayern speculation.

    But fifth-placed United, who trail Spurs by seven points, will be hoping Christian Eriksen can produce the goods and help them down his old club.
    The Great Dane, 30, spent seven years in North London and helped them reach the Champions League final before departing for Inter Milan in 2020.
    Following his terrifying cardiac arrest at the European Championship last year, he returned to England with Brentford on a short-term deal before United snapped him up for free in July.
    Now he comes up against his old employers – but he is not the only player to represent both clubs during the Premier League era…

    MICHAEL CARRICK
    The former England midfielder, who looks set to become Middlesbrough’s new manager, left Spurs after two years for United in 2006.
    And he proved to be among Sir Alex Ferguson’s best signings.
    He won 17 trophies, including the Champions League, during his 11-seasons playing for the Red Devils and went on to become coach after retirement.

    DIMITAR BERBATOV
    The Bulgarian striker was a huge favourite at both teams, helping Spurs to win the 2008 League Cup in his final season before his big move to United for a then club-record £30.75m.
    He won four trophies at the Red Devils and scored 56 goals in 149 appearances before leaving for Fulham in 2012.

    TEDDY SHERINGHAM
    Another forward that was loved by both sets of supporters.
    After five years at Tottenham, he moved to United on a free transfer in 1997 to help fill the void left by Eric Cantona’s retirement.
    He won seven trophies at Old Trafford and infamously scored in the Treble-clinching Champions League victory over Bayern Munich in 1999.
    Two years later he headed back to Spurs for another two-year spell that led to 22 goals in 70 top-flight games.

    FRAIZER CAMPBELL
    Despite the success of all the above names, not everybody enjoyed their times at White Hart Lane and Old Trafford.
    The forward only made two appearances at United after coming through their youth ranks.
    He headed to Spurs on-loan as part of the Berbatov transfer but could only muster three goals in 22 matches before United sold him to Sunderland in 2009.

    LOUIS SAHA
    The former French international is still fondly remembered by the Stretford End but barely made an impact on Spurs supporters.
    He spent four campaigns at United, scoring 42 goals, and won the title twice as well as the Champions League and League Cup.
    Saha joined Spurs from Everton in 2012 but his six-month stint only produced three goals as his injury problems began to mount and led to his release.

    Perhaps the least known out of the players that have featured for both teams.
    The defender made just two appearances at United following his progression from the academy.
    After a six-month spell in Belgium at Standard Liege, he headed to Spurs in January 2013, but he only played seven times in an 18-month period.

    ‘Break the bank’ – Teddy Sheringham says Man Utd should go all out to sign Tottenham star Harry Kane

    MANCHESTER UNITED should splash the cash on trying to sign Harry Kane, according to ex-Red Devils and Tottenham striker Teddy Sheringham.The Spurs talisman has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in the past, but so far the Lilywhites have held onto their man.

    However, Man Utd are set to search for someone to lead the line for them come the end of the season when Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract expires.
    And Sheringham, who left Spurs to join United in 1997, feels Kane is a player Erik ten Hag should be looking at.
    Speaking to Gambling, he said: “If they’re going to go out and break the bank for someone, go out and get Harry Kane.
    “He’s the type of centre-forward they lack, a proper professional, he leads the line and you’ll always get 100% out of him.

    “He’s a proper player, so go break the bank for him. I know that’s going to upset the Tottenham fans but we’re talking about Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world.
    “They should be doing this sort of thing instead of spending money on players who only might do the job for you.”
    Kane has been in sensational form for Tottenham so far this season, scoring 10 goals in 14 appearances.
    He has netted nine times in the Premier League, more than any other player aside from Erling Haaland – who has dwarfed everyone with 15 goals in 10 games.

    And while Sheringham feels United should go after Kane, he is also of the opinion that the England captain is content at Tottenham under Antonio Conte.
    “Harry looks very happy to me,” he added. “He obviously had a wobble at the start of last season when he thought he might be leaving the club, and you could see he was unnerved by all that.
    “He’s in good shape at the moment, has the World Cup coming up, he’s scoring goals, so he’s in fine fettle so I don’t see why he would be thinking about leaving.”
    Kane is just nine goals shy of becoming Spurs’ all-time top scorer – a feat currently held by Jimmy Greaves who hit the back of the net 266 times for the club.
    He is also two goals behind Wayne Rooney’s England scoring record of 53. More

    A big test awaits tonight with Kane leading the line against Manchester United with third-placed Tottenham looking to keep the heat on their rivals.
    Conte said: “I can tell you that Harry wants to play every game.
    “A player that wants to play every game is not scared of injury or about missing the World Cup.
    “I like to see this commitment and this behaviour from my players.

    “For sure we are talking about an important competition with the World Cup.
    “But at the same time I can speak about my players. And I trust in my players, I trust in their commitment. I know that they are really focused 100 per cent for our club and for me it is enough for this.”
    Kane has scored five goals in his last six games for Tottenham and 51 goals in 75 games for England.
    He will spearhead the attack in next month’s World Cup and lead the squad as skipper.

    The World Cup kicks off in 31 days’ time in the middle of Europe’s domestic season and there are growing issues regarding injuries.
    England’s first choice right back Reece James is ruled out after damaging knee ligaments last week.
    And Kane’s team-mate Richarlison gave Brazil a scare with a calf injury at the weekend, although he should be ok.
    As the tournament draws closer there are understandable theories that Qatar-bound players may have one eye on their international ambitions while playing for their clubs.
    Spurs boss Conte has slammed the timing of the World Cup which stretches across November and December and insists it should never be repeated.
    I trust in my players, I trust in their commitment.Antonio Conte
    Conte said: “It is too late to complain. For sure in my opinion the whole football environment should have complained at the right time, not now.
    “Now it is too late and we have to live with this experience. Fingers crossed there will be no injuries and then we will see what happens.
    “After this experience we say ‘we did it once, now let’s continue to do it like the past’.

    “What we did in the past was perfect for everybody. I was a player at the World Cup and I played in the European Championship and I don’t want a repeat of this situation.
    “After we have seen so many problematic situations there should be no doubt about this. Ok have the World Cup then stop and go back to playing it in the summer.” More

    Tottenham are also tracking their former youth team star and he may have a decision to make during the next window in January.
    The Black Cats only signed Cirkin from Spurs last year.
    But the Championship side may be tempted to make a quick profit and cash in on the left-back.
    SunSport exclusively revealed last week that Spurs were interested in re-signing their former academy star.
