Laurie Whitwell on Kobbie Mainoo’s injury: "I did make a call. I think it’s a small muscle injury." [@TOTDevils, @UtdXclusive]
Michael Carrick retains the #mufc board's backing. Jason Wilcox had a meeting with Carrick today. United's board are unhappy with the results so far, and want to see an improvement [@SullyTalkz]
Insiders suggest the most likely punishment for Man City is a swingeing points deduction, which will ensure Man City’s relegation to the Championship, plus a huge fine.
The punishment could also include a further points deduction that would effectively confine City to the Championship for at least one more season.
The EFL would not be obliged to accept that sanction for one of its clubs, but it would likely do so [@OllieHolt22, @MailSport]

Gary Neville on #mufc’s targets this season:
"I would say fourth would be a birdie, fifth would be par, and sixth would be a bogey. But they can't finish outside the top five, because then you're missing out on Champions League and it becomes a vicious circle.
Then you can't get those players because they want to play in the Champions League and you can't get the money from it and you've lost the £60m-£70m and you're in the Europa League on Thursday nights.
Fifth is a must for Michael Carrick to continue to grow and Manchester United continue to grow with investment.
If they're 13th in January, he's got a problem because then you are what you are. Whereas I think it's still early enough, seven points from seven games, to say, 'okay, still early in the season'. You can't say that after 15 games."
Michael Carrick: "I think we can still have a really good season." [@BeanymanSports]
