TRAIN OF THOUGHT

JOSE MOURINHO took the train back up north this morning as he prepared for one of the biggest week's of his Manchester United career.

The Portuguese inspired his side to a late victory over Bournemouth on Saturday and now faces daunting trips to play Juventus and rampant neighbours City in the space of five days.

MATES RATES?

MANCHESTER UNITED are considering approaching Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville over using their hotel as a base before European home matches.

The Red Devils have arrived late to Old Trafford for their last two Champions League fixtures due to heavy traffic.

I REALLY MISS ROO

CRISTIANO RONALDO has hinted at a move to the MLS in order to reunite with former team-mate Wayne Rooney.

The pair played together between 2004 and 2009 at Manchester United before the Portugal star moved to Real Madrid.

ROO'S A LUCKY BOY

WAYNE ROONEY hailed his shock England return for a charity fundraiser against the USA and said: “This will be a special moment for me.”

The BT Sport pundit took a photo of a Liverpool fan and his son – before adding a selfie of him with his middle finger.

POG'S BROKEN HEART

PAUL POGBA has sent Man United fans into meltdown on Twitter after tweeting his new 'broken heart' hair style.

The Red Devils supporters are now posting their theories over the Frenchman's meaning – with some believing it relates to United's recent string of late goals.

AL BECAUSE OF YOU

MAN UNITED face losing David de Gea and Anthony Martial because of Alexis Sanchez's high wages.

The Chilean pockets £400,000 a week and now the duo, who could leave for free in the summer, want something similar after their performances this season.

BAY BAY AARON

MAN UNITED could fall short in their bid to sign Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey on a free transfer.

The Welshman will be released by the Gunners at the end of the season – but Bayern Munich are leading the race to get his signature.

TROLL SICKENS YOUNG

ASHLEY YOUNG blasted a "vile and disrespectful" Twitter troll for a comment made about him and the fatal Leicester helicopter crash.

Manchester United star Young was left sickened when he was made aware of a tweet aimed at him after he played in the 2-1 win at Bournemouth.

MATIC ABUSED OVER POPPY SNUB

NEMANJA MATIC faced vile abuse on social media after he was the only player not to wear a poppy in Manchester United's 2-1 win at Bournemouth.

Some fans demanded the Serbian defender be dropped or even sold but some supporters backed his actions as a personal choice.

I FEARED STINK OVER WINK

CRISTIANO RONALDO has revealed he was scared to return to England after his infamous wink in the World Cup quarter-final in 2006.

Wayne Rooney stamped on Ricardo Carvalho in the match and Manchester United team-mate Ronaldo notoriously hounded the referee to send the Three Lions striker off before winking at the Portugal bench.

EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL WHITE

JOSE MOURINHO says Manchester United's performances are turning his hair white.

WELCOME MAT

MANCHESTER UNITED are eyeing Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan.

Current No 1 David De Gea is nearing the end of his contract and could end up leaving for pastures new.

Jose Mourinho wants to make sure there is a plan in place should he leave, and Ryan is top of the list to come in at Old Trafford.

HE’S FOR KEEPS

It meant United players were brought quickly up to speed when Martial ended up joining Romero at United for a mega-money fee.

EURO SHOCK
