Remember the boy that ⁦@sterling7⁩ sent a letter to after he was racially abused at school? He was at the Newport v City match on Saturday and met Sterling after the final whistle. Sterling gave him a signed shirt & more advice. Read about it here: thetimes.co.uk/article/6aa3cc…

4th official accidentally holds up Bruno Fernandes' number rather than Martial's as McTominay waits on the touchline. Bruno starts walking over to the touchline, Solskjaer sees the error and desperately shouts over to him: "Fucking hell, no. Not him (Fernandes). I meant Anthony."

Looks like Axel Tuanzebe will be staying with MUFC, rather than heading out on loan. Deserves it after good performances in pre-season.

That's 27 clean sheets in 42 matches now for Sergio Romero at MUFC. He has a better clean sheet percentage (64.2%) than any other Utd goalkeeper who has played more than three matches for the club

Twitter: a place where rational debate is sadly scarce. Scott McTominay puts in a top performance, scores the winner & is branded "shit". He's also unhappy with the "direction that our football club is going in" when they could go top of the league on Tuesday🙄

A reminder that Rants and whoever his sidekick is, are not Manchester United fans. They’re an embarrassment. On camera saying they hate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
