Bruno Fernandes was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s fourth signing at Manchester United and that transfer immediately proved to be transformational for the Reds. Fernandes hit the ground running straight away and now, three years later, he remains one of United’s most important players and that was confirmed further when he signed a new long-term deal last year. Despite his status as vice-captain, Fernandes often wears the armband as skipper Harry Maguire has dropped down the pecking order under Erik ten Hag. Fernandes has enjoyed a number of memorable outings in Red but ahead of this week’s crucial double-header against Leeds, he…

Erik ten Hag was miffed with Man United’s start in the first and second halves of their 2-2 draw with Leeds. Erik ten Hag admitted he may have to re-emphasise Leeds United’s intensity in his team talk ahead of Manchester United’s rematch at Elland Road on Sunday. United were 1-0 down after 56 seconds to Wilfried Gnonto’s strike at Old Trafford and Raphael Varane put through his own net within three minutes of the restart to give Leeds a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford. Although United recovered to earn a 2-2 draw, Ten Hag was disgruntled by the manner of…
A conversation by Leo’s brother was leaked that bothers the fans of the Catalans. In August 2021 and unexpectedly, Lionel Messi said goodbye to FC Barcelona.

Now, while Leo defines his continuity at PSG, a new scandal arises involving the brother of the top Ballon d’Or winner (7). It is an open secret that the relationship between Laporta and the Messi ended in the worst way. Despite the fact that everything was agreed so that Leo does…
Man Utd fought back to earn a draw against Leeds at Old Trafford but they need to try a new front three in the return fixture on Sunday. There was a time when Marcus Rashford was considered ineffective at centre-forward, but as good as he’s been on the left for Manchester United this season, he’s arguably been even better through the middle. He’s started off the left against Crystal Palace and Leeds this week, but has lit up the game once he’s been moved centrally. It took him two minutes to score as a striker on Saturday and three minutes…
Bruno Fernandes highlighted the resolve of his Manchester United team-mates, following our 2-2 draw with Leeds United at Old Trafford in the Premier League. The Reds fell behind before a minute had passed, with Wilfried Gnonto handing the visitors the lead after firing home from outside the area. Raphael Varane was then unfortunate to put through his own net shortly after the second half began, doubling the Whites’ advantage. But Erik ten Hag opted to switch around his personnel with half an hour to play and United were back on level terms just two minutes later, as Marcus Rashford rose…
Man United salvaged a point against Leeds by coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 and maintain their unbeaten home Premier League run. Erik ten Hag opined on Tuesday changing managers “most of the time doesn’t work out well”. It worked out perfectly for Leeds United for 62 minutes. The Leeds caretaker Michael Skubala built them up only for them to “fall apart again”, as the Stretford End crowed. Leeds did not completely collapse, though. Manchester United remain unbeaten on home territory since August and the disappointment of two dropped points will be tempered by the goalscoring return of Jadon…
The world champion was harshly criticized on social networks during the match for the French Cup. Lionel Messi constantly goes from love to hate every day. PSG fans have no patience and once again exploded against the top winner of the Ballon d’Or (7), who did not have his best performance against Olympique de Marseille, in the French Cup. In social networks they made a serious accusation towards the world champion. After winning the World Cup in Qatar with the Argentine team, Leo is far from the best version he showed at the start of the season. His attitude has…
Man United drew 2-2 with Leeds on Wednesday and Bruno Fernandes felt the game was a missed opportunity for points. Bruno Fernandes believes Manchester United wasted an opportunity for three points against Leeds on Wednesday. United were looking for their 14th consecutive home match win against rivals Leeds, who sacked Jesse Marsch earlier in the week, but the visitors shocked Old Trafford when taking the lead through Wilfried Gnonto within two minutes. To make matters worse, Leeds extended their advantage just minutes after the second half began when Crysencio Summerville’s close-range effort deflected off Raphael Varane and caught David de Dea…
Manager unimpressed as visitors take 2-0 lead at Old Trafford Jadon Sancho praised for impact after scoring as a substitute Erik ten Hag criticised his players for failing to be ready for the fight and lacking responsibility but praised the “brilliant” Jadon Sancho whose equaliser against Leeds sealed Manchester United’s comeback at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Leeds, led by caretaker Michael Skubala, scored inside the first minute of the opening half and the third of the second before Marcus Rashford and Sancho ensured the points were shared. Ten Hag said: “When you start a derby like we did it’s unacceptable. You…
Lionel Messi wore the no.10 jersey in a competitive game for only the second time in his Paris Saint-Germain career on Wednesday night. Messi had been Barcelona’s no.10 for more than a decade when he left the Camp Nou to join PSG in August 2021. But he had to settle for no.30 upon his arrival in Paris because his favorite number was in the possession of former Barca teammate Neymar. Messi has worn no.30 in every Ligue 1 and Champions League appearance for PSG. However, in the Coupe de France, players wear 1 to 11 on their backs, rather than…
The England winger scored his first Premier League goal in five months as United fought back to earn a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford Erik ten Hag has spent six months casting himself as a harsh disciplinarian determined to whip Manchester United into shape, but even he failed to withhold a smile from the touchline when Jadon Sancho came off the bench to net the leveller against Leeds United on Wednesday. The England winger only just returned to the United team after spending several lonely months rehabilitating his confidence. His 70th-minute goal, coming as he followed up a blocked cross…
