  • Man Utd legend Giggs arrested on suspicion of assault

    Man Utd legend Giggs arrested on suspicion of assault

    Wales manager Ryan Giggs has been arrested on suspicion of assault, according to British media reports on Monday.

    A report said the police were called to the 46-year-old former Manchester United winger’s home on Sunday night after receiving reports of a disturbance.

    “Police were called at 10:05 p.m. on Sunday to reports of a disturbance. A woman in her 30s sustained minor injuries but did not require any treatment,” the report quoted a statement from Greater Manchester Police as saying.

    “A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of section 47 assault and section 39 common assault.”

    He was released on bail pending enquiries, the report said.

    Greater Manchester Police were not immediately available for comment.

    The Welsh football association (FAW) noted the allegations against Giggs.

    “The FAW is aware of an alleged incident involving the men’s national team manager Ryan Giggs,” it said in a statement.

    “The FAW will be making no further comment at this current time.”

    Wales were due to name their squad on Tuesday for November matches against the U.S., Ireland and Finland but have postponed it, reports said.

  • Everyone wants to follow Arteta, says Aubameyang after Man Utd win

    Everyone wants to follow Arteta, says Aubameyang after Man Utd win

    Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang says everyone at the london club wants to follow Mikel Arteta.

    The Gunners moved up to ninth with a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday, their first win at Old Trafford in 14 years.

    Asked whether the victory changes the feel around our start to the season, Aubameyang said: “For sure. We knew since the beginning that we had to trust the process.

    “Mikel is bringing something very nice and everyone wants to follow him.”

    And when quizzed how big the win was, Aubameyang said: “Very big. It’s been a very tough night but I’m really happy because the team played very well tonight. It’s been a long time without a win here, so of course it’s a big win.

    “At half-time we were concerned we hadn’t scored but we knew that in the second half we had to score because we had some opportunists in the first half.

    “We managed the first half well and then in the second half we managed to score. After that, everyone wanted to defend as a squad. We did that well and I’m happy.”

  • EPL: Solskjaer slams Man Utd players after Arsenal defeat

    EPL: Solskjaer slams Man Utd players after Arsenal defeat

    Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was highly critical of his players after Sunday’s loss to Arsenal.

    The Red Devils looked completely flat as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s second-half penalty was enough to seperate the two sides.

    The loss leaves United languishing in 15th after seven matches, and their manager was not a happy man after the game.

    “In the first half, we never turned up,” Solskjaer said. “The intensity, the tempo wasn’t there, the shape – they were better than us and created a couple of half-decent chances.

    “In the second half, they didn’t look like they were going to score, apart from the penalty. So we played better in the second half but still we have to turn up with more intensity.”

    On why his team didn’t perform, Solskjaer added: “There are many reasons. Of course, but it might be a reason when you play well and you think you take your foot off the pedal.

    “But that’s not how it works because this was a big game and they’re a very good team. You have to be absolutely spot-on with everything. When you’re late in the tackle, they get away from you and you give a foul away. We weren’t at the races.”

  • Aubameyang penalty gives Arsenal win at Old Trafford

    Aubameyang penalty gives Arsenal win at Old Trafford

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his first league goal since the opening weekend of the season as Arsenal edged out Manchester United at a rain-soaked Old Trafford.

    The Gabon forward broke the deadlock from the penalty spot in the 69th minute after Paul Pogba had clipped the heel of Hector Bellerin in the area.

    There were very few other chances.

    Willian’s effort struck the bar, while a strike from substitute Donny van de Beek came off the post late on.

    The Gunners now have 12 points and are up to eighth and United remain in 15th on seven points.

  • Fernandes reveals how Pogba reacts when benched

    Fernandes reveals how Pogba reacts when benched

    Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes has hailed the attitude of teammate Paul Pogba.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has benched Pogba for three of the last four matches and Fernandes hopes that will serve to motivate the midfielder.

    He said: “Paul wants to play, he wants to be in the first XI, that is no different to any player – they all want to be in the first XI.

    “Of course Paul is an amazing player who has done a lot of great things in the past few years. The way he came in against Paris Saint-Germain, against Newcastle, was perfect for the team.

    “A lot of people may think Paul is angry on the bench and that he will do nothing when he comes on because he is angry, but he comes in with the right motivation, as we saw with his assist in Paris.

    “He was there, he was fighting, holding the ball in the corner for us, he did a really good job.

    “Maybe some people think he was angry because he wanted to play and that he wants to leave the club. Everyone knows the qualities Paul has, he is doing very well.

    “Being on the bench is a problem for everyone, but this problem is motivation for Paul.

    “He uses this as motivation and he is helping the team a lot when he comes in and plays, like he did in the last game in the Champions League.”

  • Man Utd twenty years away from winning EPL – Giggs

    Man Utd twenty years away from winning EPL – Giggs

    Wales coach Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United are still 20 years away from winning the Premier League title.

    United have not won the top-flight since legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson bowed out in 2013.

    Asked if United could mirror Liverpool’s title drought, Giggs replied: “Yes, 100 per cent. It could be 15, 20 years before you know it, especially if (Jurgen) Klopp and (Pep) Guardiola stick around.

    “They have got the resources and the players so we have Liverpool to look at where the last time when they won it in 1990 they thought we’ll win it again soon.

    “Even Klopp took four and a half years for him to win it – it takes a long time. You have to think about what Klopp did.

    “He improved the team every season or won a trophy like the Champions League and then you saw the improvement so the pressure was off a little bit.

    “Every manager and signing is seen as that he will win us the league and it’s not like that.”

    The United legend is adamant Liverpool remain their major rivals.

    Giggs, speaking on the Greatest Game Podcast, said: “The best feeling I always had was leaving Anfield after winning even if Liverpool weren’t the best side at the time.

    “I played for Salford boys and our toughest games were always against Bootle, Liverpool, Kirkby, Sefton.

    “As soon as you went down the East Lancs it was a mindset it’s going to be a tough game and a test of not just your footballing ability but also your mental strength.”

  • UCL: Rashford scores hat-trick in Man Utd victory

    UCL: Rashford scores hat-trick in Man Utd victory

    Marcus Rashford came off the bench to score a clinical hat-trick as Manchester United continued their recent momentum by taking apart RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

    England international Rashford came on just after the hour mark and netted three goals in 16 minutes, first running clear to calmly slot in, then smashing in a terrific second, before drilling home a third in stoppage time.

    Teenage forward Mason Greenwood scored his first goal in the competition, latching onto Paul Pogba’s defence-splitting pass before drilling a precise, low finish into the far corner.

    Greenwood produced another thumping effort straight at Peter Gulasci, while the visiting goalkeeper also kept out Anthony Martial’s poked effort.

    But when Martial was tripped in the box with three minutes to go, he converted the penalty to score his first goal of the season.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side backed up their excellent win at Paris St-Germain in their opening game by collecting another impressive three points to extend their unbeaten run to four games.

    United’s backline had a comfortable night, David de Gea keeping out efforts from Christopher Nkunku and Ibrahima Konate.

    In the Group H’s other game, last year’s runners-up Paris St-Germain picked up their first points with a 2-0 win at Istanbul Basaksehir.

    Agents split over Van de Beek treatment at Man Utd

    The agent of Donny van de Beek says he’s happy at Manchester United.

    The former Ajax midfielder’s adviser Sjaak Swart took aim at United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for not starting the Dutchman.

    But agent Guido Albers told Sky Sports: “Donny is very happy at Manchester United and has a great relationship with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the club’s staff and his new team-mates.

    “There has been no problem at all since his move from Ajax, a deal that I negotiated on his behalf. Sjaak Swart was speaking in a personal capacity, as a mentor and advisor to Donny, and someone who is an Ajax legend.

    “Donny is very happy with every minute he can play in a Manchester United shirt.”

    Frank Lampard denies facing Man Utd as favourites

    Chelsea boss Frank Lampard denies they face Manchester United tomorrow as favourites.

    For Lampard, he is refusing to take United lightly in what he reminded his players is a “big game”.

    “It certainly does feel like a big game,” Lampard said.

    “They are a quality team, they went to Paris and got a fantastic result.

    “It’s an opportunity to get some hard-earned points. It’s too early to assume anything. It’s early.

    “The games of teams around you will always be big. There are games where you have to grind out.”
