Paul Pogba has told Manchester United he wants to leave for Barcelona. And now the board have a decision to make. Manager who looks like he wants out vs player who wants out because of manager. In short, a mess

Ronaldo wants trophies and new signings. Glazers aim for top four and just a handful of new recruits on the back of that shambolic season. Polarising ambitions - and it speaks volumes.
#MUFC
Manchester United will sack Jose Mourinho this weekend. Board have had enough. Results, player treatment both deemed poor. Zinedine Zidane looks likeliest but Michael Carrick may take temporary charge
#MUFC
Manchester United have accepted mediocrity for too long. You can lose matches like this if top 4/cl football is the goal. You don't lose matches like this if winning the lot is the aim. Now is where we learn what the club is all about and what OGS the manager is all about

Manchester United have been heavily linked with Real Madrid's Sergio Reguilon. So here's a look at how any deal could impact Luke Shaw, Brandon Williams, Diogo Dalot and Tim Fosu-Mensah

Gonna say this once. Just once.
I have no interest in Football Index. I literally couldn't give any less of a damn about it. I don't need to use it. I have no desire to use it.
I see constant hounding from accounts like this. I don't care, but thought i'd clarify. Very odd.
A look at the five CB's Man Utd could have at their disposal next season if all goes to plan. No Jones or Tuanzebe, but Martinez signing looks on.
#MUFC
Don't get me wrong United should have got someone better than Ighalo. But he's pretty prolific. And as a short term buy I'm not actually bothered. He'll do a job

, Red was originally supposed to die the first time he was shot when he was tied up in his apartment, but we thought Danny Mcbride was so funny that we just kept bringing him back to life.
Man Utd bought Daniel James to solve right wing issues but it's the left where he's best. Another issue. United been awful at right wing since Januzaj played there under Moyes

Been saying this for ages. It doesn't and hasn't ever fazed me but it does others and in this day and age, it shouldn't be allowed to happen. The one minority group who always get the shit - and never have anyone on their side.
With Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal absent from the US Open this year, this was a golden chance for Novak Djokovic. And it doesn't matter how hard he's hit the ball, rules are rules. He's blown it
#USOpen2020
Think Solskjaer has done a good job BTW. But not a great job. And great is Liverpool/Chelsea/City standard. United can't lag behind when the quality is so huge

Justice! Felt so bad for these things having to carry fat tourists on their back. And we saw ourselves how fat some of them can be!

-Cristiano Ronaldo not the sole reason for Real Madrid's issues.
-Injuries also hurting Julen Lopetegui
@MrTomMcDermott
Worst thing about the situation is that with Woodward, we have an inexperienced guy for this sort of thing. Business side he's 💯 (which is a good, not bad thing). But with footballing decisions less so. Needs to act after Newcastle game.
@MrTomMcDermott
I agree. I think tonight is a low result but nobody better than Jose to turn things around. Needs a strong summer, get rid of some dross, strengthen wisely then go again. He wasn't the one pinging passes to nobody all night.
I think it's clear more than ever they're just making up the rules as they go along. Just blatantly covering up for Cummings. Clear lies

@ManUtd
Think it's great to see somebody that happy. Footballers always have their guard up and Ighalo just looks delighted to be there. Definitely going to be a fan favourite (providing he keeps this up)...
Hard to see Roberto Martinez getting his contract renewed at Belgium. Deal expires after this tournament - and a parting of the ways would suit everybody.

@DExpress_Sport
Ole failed too. It didn't work out for him and didn't work out for Jose. If you spend £££ and fail to win the Premier League or Champions League, at Manchester United, you have failed. Ole vs Jose is a DEAD debate. Ole is a legend because he won trophies as a player with United.
At the biggest point in the season, Ole was willing to gamble on Fosu-Mensah. That takes true cojones. Not played for the club in over three years. Came in, did a job. Dalot surely heading for the exit door

Some fascinating bonus clauses in
#PSG
player contracts.
Because of a lack of a fines system in Ligue 1, they pay players to behave:
E.g: Neymar,
*€2.5m/yr for not criticising manager's choices
*€375k/yr for greeting fans before/after games
*€2m for Balon D'Or top 3 finish
If Manchester United sign Gareth Bale, it will be a deal many years in the making. Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes and Jose Mourinho have all tried - and all failed
#MUFC
Rooney in 2010: Wants to leave Man Utd due to lack of ambition.
Ronaldo in 2022: Wants to leave Man Utd due to a lack of ambition.
Times are different of course, but United just don't seem to be the club of old.

Mino Raiola has hit the nail on the head here. My favourite quote:
"These people need to be locked up and re-educated. This cannot be part of sport. This is sport — S P O R T. This is not a question of life and death, it is EN-TER-TAIN-MENT"
#MUFC
Just seen Joker. Woah.
It's so different yet so brilliant. Creepy, disturbing, bleak...but amazingly told.
The final 20 minutes are insane as well. An important societal film and one Joaquin Phoenix deserves an Oscar for.
#jokermovie
Manchester United may try to sign Neymar or Kylian Mbappe if Jose Mourinho is replaced by Mauricio Pochettino. Jose was offered the chance to go after both this summer - and said NO
#MUFC
Arsenal new boy Thomas Partey has already been branded 'aggressive' - and could fill the void left by Gilberto Silva and Patrick Vieira's exits years ago
#AFC
He's not the best when it comes to respect. Has plenty of blips. But it seems what was stuff that was anti-Jose before is now a witchhunt. I don't think he's the right man for the job anymore but I'd love to see him silence everybody
#MUFC
Big week ahead at Man Utd. Ten Hag wants signings on the plane for Friday, ahead of pre-season. And that means three players *could* join by then.
#MUFC
Stadium amazing - first time here. Looking forward to another huge night of football. Tottenham surely too strong. Follow all the action over on

It's exactly a year since Manchester United beat Newcastle 3-2 to keep Jose Mourinho in the job. 12 months on, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needs history to repeat itself
#MUFC
Fair to say Darren Fletcher rates Donny van de Beek highly: "He understands when he needs to be a no.10 and what he has to do and he understands when he has to be a box-to-box midfielder."
