🚨 Roy Keane on Manchester United facing Tottenham after the international break: “Tottenham haven’t won a Premier League game this season. Five games. No wins. Manchester United are next. That’s where I draw the line. United have Fulham tomorrow. Go and win the game. But I’m telling you now, I don’t care what happens during the international break. I don’t care who travels, who comes back tired, who has a knock. I don’t want to hear it. You’re Manchester United. Tottenham come to Old Trafford without a league win and you beat them. It’s that simple. And if these players need any more motivation, look at their midfield. Fernandes and Tonali. Two players United wanted. Tottenham went and got both of them. Good. Remember it. If I’m a United midfielder, I’m looking across that tunnel thinking, ‘You chose them? Fine. Let’s see.’ That’s pride. That’s what playing for Manchester United is supposed to mean. If Tottenham have gone five league games without winning and then walk into Old Trafford and Manchester United are the team that gives them their first one, I don’t want another week of excuses. I don’t want another press conference telling us what went wrong. Something has to drastically change at the club. They beat you to players in the summer. Don’t let them come into your stadium and beat you as well. No excuses. Go and beat them.”

🚨 Jose Mourinho on Bruno Fernandes being named among the 30 Ballon d’Or nominees: 🗣️ Reporter: “Surprisingly, Bruno Fernandes has been included among the 30 nominees for the Ballon d’Or….” 🗣️ Mourinho: “Sorry. Surprisingly?” 🗣️ Reporter: “Well, considering Manchester United didn’t win…” 🗣️ Mourinho: “No, no. You said surprisingly. When somebody tells you water is wet, are you surprised?” Bruno broke the Premier League assist record. He was Premier League Player of the Season, PFA Players Player of the Year, Football Writers Player of the Year. How many times must football tell you the same player was very good before you believe football? If you tell me Bruno should not win the Ballon d’Or because another player won the Champions League, okay. Then we are discussing team success. But this is a list of 30 footballers. If the Ballon d’Or was judged only on individual performance, Bruno wouldn’t be hoping to enter the top 30. The other 29 would be hoping to finish above him. So my friend, your English is better than mine. Explain ‘surprisingly’ to me, because now you have made me surprised.”
