Every Man City player (bar the odd youth) is a direct result of the cheating that went on. Clubs sold them players to make real money, while City’s was fraud. I am not sure how, therefore, the current club in this guise can be allowed to compete?

Man City fans can say “You can’t take the Agueroooo moment away from us,” and that is true, we can’t. But that moment*, what was once the greatest moment* in PL history, has now been tainted so badly it is totally meaningless.

The amount of nonsense takes I've read about Lammens after Sunday is infuriating. I guess other big clubs have the same thing, I dunno, but the wild swings from 'we are so back' to 'we are so done' at Man Utd is so noisy, and, I would say, unhelpful.

Declan Rice is a fantastic player. Any team lucky to have him. But he has simply not shaped matches or settled their outcome in the way Bruno Fernandes has. telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

"Rice has won more games than Bruno has played." Sorry, I must have missed Declan Rice beating everyone by himself. To (all but) win the league on his own, 1 v 11? Fair enough.

Can’t understand why City not agreed to FA Youth Cup final being moved to Old Trafford with club ruling out Etihad in race to ready North Stand Ask those #MCFC U18 players if they’d prefer to play in front of 70,000 or 7,000 What an opportunity missed telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Three cheers for Michael Carrick, a superb managerial performance that has left the hierarchy with much to ponder. My god, under Amorim United would have lost Mainoo to someone else. You’ve got to hope whoever made that decision doesn’t muck it up again.

There is absolutely no conspiracy against, or for, any team in the Premier League and to believe so is ludicrous. But what cannot be denied is that we are going through the worst-ever run of referee/Var etc errors. It's never been this bad.

This is so jarring. With Neville, Rio and countless others constantly weighing in and giving their opinion, the environment is suffocating. No other PL club has legends constantly giving their takes. I’d wager no other club in the world has this as much.

Man Utd are a clown car and the leadership has a lot to answer for. @oliverbrown_tel telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has got every big decision wrong at Manchester United

For a man who insists he is following a coherent strategy, this latest sacking shows Ineos chief is susceptible to panic

Ruben Amorim could have gone at multiple points over the last year. A historic low league finish, Spurs, Grimsby. That he’s been sacked for mouthing off in a presser with Utd in the CL mix says a lot about how muddled the club’s board are.
