    Thiago should be a great signing for Liverpool - and another β€˜what if’ moment for Man Utd. Thiago was Alex Ferguson’s leaving β€˜present’ for David Moyes in 2013. Years of scouting, everything agreed. Then Moyes called it off because he didn’t feel he knew enough about the player.

    This is a tough read in parts and, plainly, wasn't an easy decision for @RhianBrewster9 to make. But he deserves to be heard, and that goes to the top of the sport.

    This tackle on Saliba that could have ended his career won’t thread because he is an Arsenal player.

    Ben Mee, Burnley's captain, superb on Sky re plane banner. "I'm ashamed, I'm embarrassed . . . these people need to come into the 21st century and educate themselves. They don't represent what we're about."

    β€˜I prefer to set an example,’ says the man who walked out on his team while a game was still going on, who publicly slates his employers, undermines the manager and falls out with TV pundits unless they pretend it’s all perfectly normal behaviour.

    Revealed: the FA secretly let off a manager who had been gambling on football. The manager - who cannot be named because of a court ruling - was spared at the same time Ivan Toney, and others, were being punished. The FA is refusing to say why ... ‡️

    Man Utd, the 20-time champions of England, had 28% possession, one shot on target and two corners. These are the kind of stats you’d expect from a lower-league team on their big-day-out cup tie at Anfield.

    Spurs fans: you're getting a hell of a talent/athlete in Djed Spence. One of the best loan signings I've ever seen at Forest (maybe *the* best). He's rapid. He's fun and he'll get you off your feet. Needs a bit of guidance, might make a few mistakes, but enjoy him. #THFC #NFFC

    This bust-up in the tunnel at Old Trafford today. It wasn't handbags: Mikel Arteta was left with blood pouring down face. Bottles as well as punches thrown. Romelu Lukaku prominently involved, according to witnesses.

    'It's time for the club to stand up and make the right decision.' A group of #MUFC fans are planning protests to let the club know they don't want Mason Greenwood back. Their banner (see photo) will be on display before Monday's game v Wolves.
