Ten Hag has terminated his contract with Ajax six weeks early and will effectively start work at Man Utd tomorrow. He's expected in Manchester tomorrow #MUFC @MirrorFootball

Despite assurances from Man Utd backing Solskjaer, defeat at home to Liverpool on Sunday would make it hard to keep faith with him, with results and performances already pointing towards an inevitable change of manager #MUFC

Man Utd pandering to their players with Lingard granted time off to "clear his mind" after not getting a loan move and Cavani allowed to miss tomorrow's FA Cup tie because of jet lag. Unthinkable under Sir Alex Ferguson #MUFC

Senegal, fined by FIFA for not providing a player for pre-match media before their last game, are putting up third-choice keeper Alfred Gomis, who hasn't even played for Rennes this season, at today's press conference for the England game. First-class trolling of FIFA #SEN #ENG

The decision by @SkySportsNews to lay off many qualified, experienced and trusted reporters, while hiring reality TV star Mark Wright, says everything about the lamentable direction in which the channel is heading.

Rodri started twice as many Premier League games as Thiago, scored seven goals to his one, was a key figure in Man City beating Liverpool to the title, but doesn't make the PFA Team of the Year. Players eh, what do they know? #MCFC #LFC @MirrorFootball

Had the privilege of covering Man Utd for the past 21 years. Last night was the most feeble they have played in that time. Erik ten Hag is facing a harder job than any of his predecessors #MUFC

Norwich must identify these two morons and take appropriate action for their mocking of the Munich disaster. Absolutely disgraceful #MUFC #NCFC
