Usain Bolt and Bruno Fernandes having a moment. Still a few hundred
#MUFC
fans in the stand. They’ve mainly been chanting Ronaldo’s name but a lot of support for Solskjaer too.
Solskjaer on Cavani giving up the No 7 shirt: "Cristiano rang him and they spoke. To pass up his shirt shows the respect he’s got for Cristiano but also Cristiano speaking to Edinson shows respect the other way. Two top professionals, players and human beings."
#MUFC
Manchester United have suspended six supporters for their online abuse of Son last month. "This disciplinary action demonstrates the club’s commitment to the fight against discrimination on many fronts."
UEFA president Ceferin on
#MUFC
executive vice-chair Woodward: "I was a criminal layer for 24 yrs but I've never ever seen people like that. He called me last Thursday to say he was satisfied with reforms and he fully supports them, obviously he'd already signed something else."
Less than 48 hours after Pogba spoke about wanting to 'win for the team' and being successful and his agent comes out with this on the eve of a massive
#UCL
game. Helpful.
Solskjaer just instructed Greenwood to take that penalty. He called Jones over and told him to ensure Greenwood took it as Pereira and Lingard debated which one of those two should take it.
#TRAMUN
No action will be taken against Luke Shaw and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after their post-match comments yesterday as the FA does not consider them to have breached any rules.
#mufc
#MUFC
have confirmed there will be a fan-led minute’s applause in the seventh minute of the game tonight. Both teams will also wear black armbands as a mark of respect for Ronaldo and his family.
Luke Shaw to Sky on the penalty decision. "The ref even said to H, I heard him say: ‘If I say it’s a pen it’s going to cause a lot of talk about it after.’ So, I don’t know what happened there."
#CHEMUN
Solskjaer on Tuanzebe: "Axel did fantastic he has been out for 10 months to put a performance up like this against Neymar and Mbappe, he almost surprised us as well."
Hungary fans marching to the Puskas Arena. Should be some atmosphere. Only ground in the tournament that’s currently allowing 100% capacity and it holds 61,000.
#HUNPOR
#EURO2020
Maguire might be in the stand and on crutches but he's still playing his captain role and shouting instructions. Urging Elanga to take his man on.
#MUNLEI
Rangnick joking about the suggestion that he would get a £10million bonus if he signed Haaland. Checking notes on his desk he joked he would also get £10m for signing Mbappe and Lewandowski and Kimmich. "This is nonsense," he said.
Rangnick arrived for his first press conference. “The major target for me is to bring balance into the team. Even yesterday we conceded two goals if you look at the total number of goals it’s just too much per game. My approach is to bring more balance and more control.”
Not the biggest talking point of the press conference but Solskjaer went on an impassioned defence of Phil Jones after
@rioferdy5
comments about him earlier this week. Full quote 👇🏻
Thought Greenwood was great this afternoon. Solskjaer happy with his performance too: "The way he burst away for that second goal. That’s a man compared to a boy that was in the first team two years ago. Delighted with what he’s done in pre-season to get his fitness up."
Cavani deal likely to be one plus an option. Set to fly in tomorrow. At 33 he's against the transfer strategy Solskjaer wants to work towards. But, seen as bringing experience and can support development of younger players.
At Old Trafford for the FA Youth Cup semi-final. Harry Maguire has just been in the
#mufc
dressing room to give a speech to the lads before they game out to warm up.
Protests much more subdued at Old Trafford than they were a couple of weeks ago. A very heavy police presence. Liverpool team coach is currently stuck in town after being blocked in by protestors.
#MUNLIV
What a day. This morning Ronaldo was favourite to join
#MCFC
now he's agreed a deal to join
#MUFC
as they registered their interest late on. Piece here on the deal and Ronaldo's decision to come back 👇
Ronaldo absolutely furious he's been subbed for Maguire. Hands on his hips when the board went up. Muttering to those sat on the bench before throwing his coat down on the floor.
#MUFC
have won their appeal over Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s two game ban following his red card in Bern. It’s been reduced to one game which means he’ll be eligible to play in the
#UCL
next week.
Good point for United. Ronaldo and Fernandes straight down the tunnel at full time. McTominay leads the rest of the players over to the away end and gives his shirt to a fan.
#CHEMUN
Edinson Cavani and van de Beek ruled out of tomorrow's game and won't travel. Anthony Martial and Scott McTominay will have to be assessed tomorrow. Paul Pogba won't be playing this month.
#mufc
Solskjaer confirms Bailly is back in training ahead of trip to
#WBA
obviously Paul Pogba is not. Also said on his Zoom that Hannibal Mejbri will be joining Shola Shoretire in training with the first team.
#MUFC
Rashford rightly getting all the plaudits but it was a victory built in midfield. Change in system worked well. Fred, Pogba, van de Beek and Matic were fantastic 👇🏻
#MUNRBL
Evra speaking about why he’s back at United completing his coaching badges: “I want to make all the players know when you wear that shirt you understand the history on your back. I’m here to make sure people understand what it means to play for this club.”
#mufc
Bruno Fernandes press conference this morning. He was asked about not being key set piece taker for
#POR
unlike at
#MUFC
“We have many players who can take them in their clubs and here. It’s not important who takes it.”
Progress for
#MUFC
in Alex Telles negotiations. Should be their third signing of the summer. Cavani has landed in Manchester and set for his medical later today.
Russo expected to stay at
#MUFC
with the club rejecting Arsenal’s offers. Would have been a world-record deal but United want to keep her and especially don’t want to sell to a rival. Talks off.
The game kicked off 15 minutes ago but still lots of supporters outside protesting. Plan is to boycott first 18 minutes. One minute for each year the Glazers have owned the club.
#mufc
Fofana here in the stands to watch
#lcfc
game with his girlfriend. Rodgers said in his pre-match media that he wasn't in the 'right frame of mind' to be involved today.
Ronaldo was asked about his future and links to
#MUFC
and PSG being a distraction during
#EURO2020
: “I’ve been playing the highest level for many year this doesn’t faze me. Maybe if I was 18/19 I might have had sleepless nights but I’m 36. Whatever comes will be for the best.”
Pre-season games start for
#MUFC
today away to Derby. Here’s how they line up: Heaton, Wan-Bissaka, Williams, Tuanzebe, Mengi, Garner, Levitt, Mata, Chong, Greenwood, Elanga.
#mufc
supporters protesting against the Glazers. Plan is for them to stay outside for the first 18 minutes of today’s game against
#avfc
Police reckon there’s about 800 people taking part.
United have agreed a £750k for striker Charlie McNeill who has left Man City.
Fee rising to £1.35m but understood he would have to achieve a lot in the first team to trigger those clauses.
Expected to go into U18s
#mufc
A thumbs up and applause from Emery for the
#avfc
fans. What a start to his time here. Villa beat
#mufc
for the first time in the league at Villa Park since 1995. Deserved win too. United poor.
What a season it has been for Shaw. Solskjaer deserves credit for his management but majority of the work has come from the player. A
#EURO2020
final would be a fitting end to an excellent campaign 👇
Great performance from Manchester United today. Shaw and Martial the picks but they were very good all over the pitch. Really solid at the back and had an intensity that's been lacking in their recent displays. 22 unbeaten away in the Premier League.
#MCIMUN
Another comfortable win for United. Wasn’t their best performance since the restart but it was easy and two very nice goals from Greenwood and Pogba. They become the first team in PL history to win by three or more goals in 4 consecutive games. Unbeaten run extends to 17.
#AVLMUN
Really good performance and win for
#MUFC
and they're up to third with a game in hand. Set up worked to perfection and they've finally discovered their attacking mojo at home in the league.
#MUNLEE
Roma boss Paulo Fonseca on Smalling: "I am in regular contact with Chris Smalling, I spoke to him yesterday. He wants to come back to Roma and we want to have him back. I think that there could be an update over the next few days."
#mufc
Pogba and McTominay haven't trained today so doubts for Sunday's game. Rashford, Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka 'came through the session but not 100%'
#MUFC
Pogba to
#MUFC
“I feel great. It’s like I never left, the guys still trust in me and always believe in me + that’s helped me a lot. From behind I just enjoy it. I’m enjoying watching Bruno, Rashford, Martial and Mason, it’s beautiful… they make me enjoy football every time!”
This afternoon was only ever going to be about one man. And he ensured he stuck to the script by scoring a brace (with a little help from Woodman). 👇
#MUNNEW
Solskjaer on another semi-final defeat: "I don’t think it’s a mental issue. Tonight it was about that lack of quality compared to them, we played against a good Manchester City team, they deserved to win. You’re disappointed when you concede two set plays."
