Thomas Tuchel genuinely thought John Stones had a shoulder injury for a second there. 🤣🏴
The vibes in England's dressing room after the Mexico win was immaculate. 😍🕺
A proper reality check. Let’s all feel sorry for the footballers not playing but earning £200k a week.

United have had months of conversations over a new contract, planned with Kobbie in the midfield for summer, let Collyer leave on loan, bought 3 forwards, have only 4 midfielders with one that is 33 and in the final year.
With a view to Kobbie replacing Bruno in the long term, knowing Bruno could or likely will leave after next season.
If the situation with Kobbie has changed with United considering to sell after just 2 games, with 5 days left in the window, that would represent catastrophic levels of reaction and poor planning. I haven't seen that level of disarray this summer, so I just don't believe it will.
Would be massively pissed if it were to happen, but again would represent a VERY big departure from the way they've dealt with the squad/window this summer, and I doubt it.

Re: Šeško
The deal isn’t over the line just yet, but if Šeško does end up at Manchester United, credit has to go to the club for their strategy. It’s a clear reminder of the pulling power and global appeal that still comes with the Manchester United name.
As someone who played for Boro- Newcastle’s local rival- I have to say Newcastle also have a lot going for them: a world-class manager, a brilliant stadium with a great atmosphere, and Champions League football. There’s plenty to admire there too.
But if Šeško chooses United, it speaks volumes.
- History still matters.
- United have tracked him for years.
- And regardless of league position, wearing that crest still means something- it’s one of the biggest clubs in world football.

Brilliant appointment. Gutted United have missed out on him.
🚨🏴 BREAKING: Thomas Tuchel has completed the agreement to become new England manager.
Terms agreed, contract set to be signed with an official statement expected soon.
Tuchel opened doors to England job in July and it’s now a done deal, as @TimesSport reported.
Here we go ✨

Austria tops the #EURo2024 group that had France and the Netherlands by playing high-energy, aggressive and combative football.
The funny thing is Ralf Rangnick wanted to play the same style here.
Our players gave up after playing 45 minutes against Palace. And you laughed at him. He was branded the worst manager ever. He listed everything wrong with Utd, wanted open heart surgery, wanted to truly heal the club and you laughed at him.
24 months on, everybody now wants open heart surgery or something very similar under the new ownership.
You listened to some agenda-driven accounts on YouTube that were spreading negative rumours in the name of 'exclusive sources' and trusted them. You were so consumed by your hate that he somehow usurped your favourite manager's position that you turned on him after his first defeat.
Maybe sometimes the manager is not the issue at United. Think about it.

Congratulations to Kieran McKenna and Ipswich Town. He's a fantastic young coach - Jose Mourinho, Ole Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick all thought so, even if experts on Twitter didn't. Back to back promotions, with one of the lower wage bills in the Championship, is some achievement
You will not find a better definition of hypocrisy 😭😭

Imagine your vehicle is turned over. You’re disoriented. Wondering if this is the end. You turn to your left and see Hollywood Hogan in his NWO shirt saying “gimme your hand, brother!”
What a mindfuck.
