Manchester United: Marcus Rashford Says Commitment To Club Cannot Be Questioned

Wontumi1Sports,
Marcus Rashford says people questioning his commitment to Manchester United need to show “more humanity”. Rashford, 26, has scored five goals for United this season and faced criticism about perceived attitude issues. He missed United’s FA Cup win over Newport, days after he was reportedly seen in nightspots in Northern Ireland. “If you ever question my commitment to United, that’s when I have to speak up,” the England forward said in a piece for The Players’ Tribune. “It’s like somebody questioning my entire identity, and everything I stand for as a man. “I grew up here. I have played for this…

Andre Onana: Manchester United Goalkeeper ‘Has Decision’ Over Africa Cup Of Nations

Guardiola Dismisses ‘Bad Luck’ Claims After Crystal Palace Draw

Wontumi1Sports, ,
Man­chester City boss, Pep Guardi­ola, says his side cannot blame bad luck for their failure to see out games after they dropped more points from a winning posi­tion in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace. The defending champions led 2-0 with 15 minutes to go but were pegged back by Jean-Philippe Mateta’s breakaway goal and Michael Olise’s 95th-minute penalty as the Eagles completed an unlikely comeback. It is the fourth time in their past six Premier League matches where City have been held after leading late on, leaving them three points behind leaders Liver­pool, who have a game in hand.…

Liverpool Fail To Go Top As They Draw With Manchester United

Wontumi1Sports, ,
Manchester United lifted the mood of crisis around manager Erik ten Hag by securing a battling point against Liverpool at Anfield. In a mediocre encounter, United stopped the rot that had been spreading after the heavy home loss to Bournemouth and a tame Champions League exit rubber-stamped by Bayern Munich at Old Trafford. While this was hardly a classic display from injury-hit United, who had Diogo Dalot sent off for dissent in stoppage time, Ten Hag had cause to be much happier than Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp whose side missed a chance to return to the top of the Premier League.…

Premier League: Man City vs Spurs Referee Simon Hooper ‘Devastated’ By Late Mistake, Says Howard Webb

Wontumi1Sports, , ,
Simon Hooper “was devastated” after not giving Manchester City a late advantage in their Premier League draw with Spurs, according to Howard Webb. Referee Hooper awarded a free-kick to City in added time, just when it looked like Jack Grealish was through on goal. The official initially waved play on when Erling Haaland was fouled by Emerson Royal, but he halted the match once the through ball was played. “I understand the disappointment that City felt on this one,” said Webb. Webb, the 2010 World Cup final referee, is chief refereeing officer at Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), which manages elite…
