academy." [PL Productions]

🔴⚪ Cristiano Ronaldo's return to

🗣️ Chicharito: "Manchester United is always going to be my team. I’m very grateful for Real Madrid, Sevilla, Bayer Leverkusen, West Ham, all of them. I still love them and I’m going to be grateful forever but honestly, I feel it that you’re once a Red, always a Red." [MU]
David De Gea and Jesse Lingard both have shut plenty of mouths [atleast for today anyway]. It is very important to appreciate players when they do well.
#mufc
🗣️ Solskjaer on Sancho: "He’s working his socks off, all the stats show that. I thought in the game the other night, he was giving us loads of legs and attitude." [MU]
🔴⚪ Greenwood has also become an influential figure in the
#mufc
dressing room. His boisterous personality on the coach to games, is good at delivering a joke — and at taking one. [

🔴⚪ Pogba has "big" respect for Ole Gunnar Solskjær. He does not want to cause a war to join PSG. He will respect the club. [

🗣️ Raphael Varane: "I think Harry Maguire is a great player but we have to work hard to feel comfortable on the pitch. It's the same with every defender in the team. It's important to feel connected. We have to move together and motivate each other." [

🗣️Luke Shaw: "I always speak to H (*Harry Maguire) before a game, and he's always saying to me - don't settle for anything less than the best player on the pitch. He always says that to me." [Optus Sport]

🔴⚪ Ole Gunnar Solskjær is a different talker when the cameras are off and he could scarcely believe
#mufc
had agreed a new contract with Phil Jones in February 2019. [MEN]
🔴⚪ Wayne Rooney visited Carrington shortly after it was announced he was joining Derby County as a player. Tongue-in-cheek, Rooney offered to play for
#mufc
too. Solskjaer’s deadpan reply to Rooney? “Time’s done now,” he said. “We need some young legs.” [

🔴⚪ Cristiano Ronaldo has made it clear to Solskjaer and his coaches that he can further increase his goal ratio if

#mufc
source on Pogba: "The game is slower for France and it was slower in Italy. It’s one reason he (Pogba) was so good over there. In the Premier League, you have 20 teams and every single one will get in your face and waste no time doing it." [Andy Mitten,
@TheAthleticUK

🔴⚪ The Jadon Sancho contracts are ok and signed. It’s just one paperwork between

🗣️ Adam Lallana: "I misjudged Harry Maguire. I don’t mind admitting that. I have always thought he was a very good player, but what this tournament has shown me, and hopefully others, is that he is at the next level: a proven world-class defender." [Times]

@lauriewhitwell
: "There have been occassions that Solskjær has absolutely rollocked players privately and then come out in the press conference and defended them to the hill." [Talk of the Devils Podcast,

🔴⚪ A fortnight ago, Solskjaer told Daniel James that, despite interest in him from a number of clubs, he would not be leaving

#mufc
want Camavinga this summer, they think that he's the perfect long term signing....United are progressing in contacts and they know that player would love to join the premier league. Situation is open, but
