Shambolic Manchester United are nowhere near closing gap on City The Guardian says Football is an increasingly complicated game, all half‑spaces and passing lanes, pressing patterns and probabilities, but some aspects remain very simple. Such as, if you’re playing against the most prolific elite-level striker in the world, you don’t give him a free header at the back post. And if you’ve got away with doing that just before half-time, you certainly don’t give him…

Worrying…

It was costly.

French football plunged into a new abyss of violence after the Olympique de Marseille v Olympique Lyonnais game was called off when the visitors’ bus was pelted with stones and beer bottles, injuring Lyon coach Fabio Grosso on Sunday.

‘I think I’ve been in limbo for too long.’

‘We made a mistake. A wrong decision. We got killed by that.’

‘It was far from one of my best performances, it wasn’t a vintage Tyson Fury.’

‘I don’t see where they can improve. This team has lost confidence, quality and even spirit.’

Antony clashed with Doku in the closing stages at Old Trafford.

A huge blow for Wolves.

‘That quote from Pep Guardiola is a monstrous dig into the running of United!’

‘They are short in every aspect of it technically, tactically.’

Was it the right call?

The Toffees chairman died last week.

Controversial decisions…

‘It was crazy for some people to suggest that it could still go ahead on the 23rd.’

Kobbie Mainoo could make his long-awaited Manchester United return after arriving with the squad for today’s Manchester derby.

The midfielder has been out of action since limping out of a pre-season clash against Real Madrid in July.

Mainoo had been the star of United’s pre-season tour until then, and was named Man of the Match in United’s previous match against Arsenal.

Erik ten Hag had planned on integrating Mainoo into the first team this season, and with Casemiro’s form being below par, the Dutchman has rued the absence of the teenager.

But, after over three months out with an ankle injury, Mainoo could feature against City today.

While it’s unlikely that Mainoo will start, the absence of Casemiro could boost his chances.

The Brazilian has been in a race against time to prove his fitness for the derby, but he was not spotted arriving at Old Trafford.

Casemiro returned from international duty with an ankle problem and, despite training, he’s not yet match fit.
