Cascarino makes claim about two Manchester United stars for Tottenham clash
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should drop Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw for the upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur, says Tony Cascarino.

Solskjaer has been under a lot of pressure since the humiliating defeat against Jurgen Klopp’s side last weekend. Some reports suggested that he could be sacked before the match against Spurs. However, the Red Devils haven’t made such a big decision, at least for the time being. The 48-year-old will be desperate to deliver a good result...

Luke Shaw hits back at Jose Mourinho in Rome as England roll on
At Jose Mourinho’s new home, the Stadio Olimpico, Luke Shaw, chose the perfect setting for his latest riposte to his former boss with two assists in England’s 4-0 thrashing of Ukraine to reach the Euro 2020 semi-finals. Shaw suffered at the hands of Mourinho for three seasons at Manchester United, a string of public criticism not a patch on what was said behind closed doors, the 25-year-old admitted this week. Mourinho’s arrival at Old Trafford came hot on the heels of a horrible double leg fracture Shaw suffered in September 2015. The former Southampton defender revealed in 2018 there had even been fears his right leg would have to be amputated because of blood clots that required emergency surgery. His career never got back on track during Mourinho’s tempestuous time at United, where he ...

Alexander-Arnold responded to his selection by tweeting: “Always believe in yourself. Silence the doubters.” Irritated by the inaccurate pre-announcement reports that he would drop Alexander-Arnold, Southgate insisted he never lost ...

Last year we caught 15 points up on Leicester, but City are a different proposition. “Even today they put us under so much pressure you could see we were playing against a ve...
