Man Utd news LIVE: Sancho boost, Solskjaer reaction, Roy Keane rant
Follow all the latest news, views, quotes and transfer gossip LIVE with our dedicated blog on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side here.
EVRA FED UP WITH POGBA EXIT CLAIMS
Back to United’s win over Tottenham on Friday, now. Former Red Devils defender Patrice Evra says those who have called for Paul Pogba to leave need a rethink.
Pogba inspired United’s fightback against Spurs but some pundits have questioned Pogba’s role amid Bruno Fernandes’ arrival in the team.
However, the pair linked up brilliantly in north London and Evra has issued a passionate defence of his fellow Frenchman.
JADON SANCHO BOOST
Onto some transfer news now and Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has offered a telling hint about Jadon Sancho’s future at the club.
Reports over several months have said United are keen to sign Sancho and he is Solskjaer’s top target for the upcoming window.
After recent claims said Dortmund are unwilling to budge over their £115million valuation of the England international, the Red Devils may finally have made a breakthrough.
ROY KEANE RANT
Another man who had plenty to say about United was Sky Sports pundit Roy Keane, who tore into the Red Devils at half-time.
David de Gea and Harry Maguire found themselves in the firing line after Bergwijn’s goal in the first half.
The Dutch winger stung the palms of De Gea, who was unable to stop the shot. That came, however, after Maguire failed to keep tabs on Bergwijn’s run into the box.
SOLSKJAER REACTION
Solskjaer had plenty to say after the match, but he was especially pleased with Pogba’s performance.
The Frenchman was introduced on 60 minutes and changed the complexion of the tie completely.
United were losing 1-0 after Steven Bergwijn’s first-half opener but the visitors finished the stronger of the two sides, with Pogba a star influence on his first game back from injury.
MATCH REPORT: SPURS 1-1 MAN UTD
If you missed it last night, have a read of the match report from United’s 1-1 draw with Tottenham in their first game back since the Premier League was put on hold.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer went with Bruno Fernandes from the start and Paul Pogba joined him in the second half, producing an excellent 30-minute display to help his side salvage a point.
