Bruno Fernandes reveals the moment he realised Man Utd could win the Premier League

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); However, Jamie Vardy got a goal moments later to ensure the game finished in a draw and meant United trailed then-league leaders Liverpool by four points. United have now gone eight years without winning the title but Fernandes says the reaction from the team to those dropped points against Leicester showed him they’re making huge progress towards winning silverware. ‘After the Leices...

Pogba says Martial & Man Utd strikers ‘do not have the same quality’ as Cavani

Premier League

Paul Pogba has spoken glowingly about Edinson Cavani after his goal against Fulham and believes he brings a quality none of the club’s other forwards possess. Manchester United went behind on Wednesday night but responded through Cavani, who capitalised on a mistake from Alphonse Areola to equalise, before Pogba scored the winning goal with a brilliant left-foot finish from outside the box. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Cavani played in the middle, with Anthony Martial moved out wide and Marcus Rashford was left on the bench, and Pogba believes the Uruguayan forward is finally providing the poaching abilities United have lacked. ‘Everybody knows that Edi is a top-class striker and there’s few strikers like this in the world, and we had the chance to hav...

Solskjaer reveals when Amad Diallo will make Man Utd debut

Premier League

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted he’s been surprised by how quickly new boy Amad Diallo has settled in at the club and says he could make his debut for the Red Devils in the next month.

And Diallo could provide the much needed thrust from the right but the expectation was that the player would be given plenty of time to settle in before playing more regularly. But, Solskjaer confirmed today that Diallo has already ...

Solskjaer explains why he subbed off Bruno Fernandes in Man Utd draw vs Liverpool

Premier League

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says it was a ‘tactical decision’ to take Bruno Fernandes off late on in their goalless draw with Liverpool on Sunday. The Portuguese playmaker had an off game by his usual standards, misplacing 58% of his passes in the huge clash – the lowest success rate of any player who started the game on either side. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); He was withdrawn in the 89th minute as the Red devils chased an equaliser, replaced by Mason Greenwood, and was unhappy with the decision. With McTominay down receiving treatment, Fernandes tried to delay his exit away from the pitch – with Greenwood’s introduction being United’s final sub – and then ranted in the direction of the touchline as he came off. Fernandes seemed...
