STICK TOGETHER

BUSY BUSY DAY
As if anyone was in doubt, it is sure to be a busy transfer deadline day for Manchester United.
The club are still reeling after yesterday's humiliation against Spurs – but they have no choice but to pick themselves up and get business done before 11pm.
While slim hopes remain of the Sancho deal, they also will want to secure Alex Telles.
Edinson Cavani on a free also looks closed to be confirmed today, with Man United keen to get him confirmed today so he can be included in their Champions League squad.

ON HOLD TRAFFORD
Jadon Sancho is back in England and can complete a deadline day move to Manchester United – if the Red Devils can finally agree to a fee with Borussia Dortmund.
The Three Lions winger, 20, could be in trouble after being filmed at Tammy Abraham's surprise birthday party in clear breach of coronavirus rules.
The FA examined footage – in which Sancho can be seen singing with a mask around his chin – and said there will be no change to the England team at this stage with the squad to meet-up on Monday.
Despite the drama, Man Utd will be buoyed by the fact their top target is in the country.
His mere presence in the country makes any potential deadline day deal all the more simple.
The Old Trafford side have been chasing Sancho all summer.

EXCLUSIVE
Furious Gareth Southgate will tell his England players to stop embarrassing themselves.
Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho were pictured breaking Covid rules by going to a party – despite six people being the limit of socialising.
Southgate will hammer home the point to the players at a team meeting at St George’s Park ahead of Thursday’s match with Wales.
Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden broke lockdown rules in Iceland by inviting two women to their hotel.
Southgate was already planning to address his squad that includes several uncapped and inexperienced players.
The England boss will not “read the riot act” to his players but will warn them firmly they have to behave.

GOOD MORNING RED DEVILS FANS
Manchester United suffered a humiliating 6-1 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, and the fallout has been massive.
Striker Marcus Rashford took to Twitter to make his apologies.
He wrote: “First and foremost I'm a United fan. This is my club. I'm so proud to wear this shirt but there are no excuses, it's just not good enough.
“And to every single fans around the world that tuned in today, I'm just so sorry.
“You deserve so much better than that.
“I would have stayed away from social media tonight but you deserve to hear from me during the highs and the lows, there is no hiding.”
While in a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Luke Shaw revealed the team 'gave up' after just 28 minutes against Tottenham, once Anthony Martial was sent off.
The 25-year-old told Sky Sports: “When we went down to 10 men maybe we gave up, there wasn't that character on the pitch. We were too quiet and naive. There was many mistakes, we need to do more.
“It's embarrassing. I was embarrassed on the pitch. We need a long hard look at ourselves.”
But it's not all doom and gloom, and the United fans will be hopeful that two new signings will be welcomed on Monday's transfer deadline day.
Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles both reported to United's Carrington training ground on Sunday to complete their medicals, said the Manchester Evening News.
The pair are set to be unveiled ahead of tomorrow's deadline.

SACKED IN THE MORNING?
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is odds-on to be sacked by the club before Christmas following the 6-1 thrashing against Tottenham.
The Norwegian is under huge pressure already with United losing two of their first three Premier League games.
And after three dismal performances this term, Ladbrokes have Solskjaer at 8/13 to be sacked before Christmas.
The former Molde gaffer is also 1/2 to be given the axe before the end of the campaign.
Solskjaer is also the second favourite in the Premier League to lose his job next.

RASH DECISION
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has sincerely apologised to Red Devils fans after their shambolic 6-1 thrashing against Spurs.
The England star took to Twitter to write: “First and foremost I'm a United fan. This is my club. I'm so proud to wear this shirt but there are no excuses, it's just not good enough.
“And to every single fans around the world that tuned in today, I'm just so sorry.
“You deserve so much better than that.

NO EXCUSE
Manchester United star Luke Shaw admitted the team 'gave up' after just 28 minutes against Tottenham, once Anthony Martial was sent off.
And speaking after the humiliation, left-back Shaw said he was 'embarrassed' to be on the pitch and said the team had 'no character'.
The 25-year-old told Sky Sports: “It was a lack of concentration and then a mistake, another mistake, another mistake.
“We switched off. It really hurts.
“Manchester United shouldn't lose in this manner. It really hurts, it's embarrassing and we've let a lot of people down.
“We've let ourselves down and the staff down.
“We need to look in the mirror, we are nowhere near it at the moment. Maybe it's lucky that we've got a break now.
“When we went down to 10 men maybe we gave up, there wasn't that character on the pitch. We were too quiet and naive. There was many mistakes, we need to do more.
“It's embarrassing. I was embarrassed on the pitch. We need a long hard look at ourselves.”

PAT ON THE HEAD
Patrice Evra launched a passionate tirade after Manchester United went into half-time 4-1 down in their humiliation against Spurs.
The Red Devils legend told fans to 'go on the Playstation and buy Jadon Sancho and Lionel Messi' following the Old Trafford disaster.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “I don't know if I have to comment like all of this – we get lucky, Tottenham give us a penalty away.
“I've been losing in my career with Manchester United – six one against Manchester City, (Sir Alex) Ferguson was furious after the game.
“He said 'why do you keep attacking Patrice?' and I say it's because its the philosophy of the club.
“But are you seeing this right now? That's why I don't even want to comment because it is a catastrophe what is happening right now.
“My advice to any fan right now is to buy a PlayStation. Buy a player like Sancho, even Messi and start playing because it is a disaster.
“I've been a player so that's why I don't like to go on one player, but all of the defence is a shock.
“Bailly has the chance to play instead of Lindelof and he made that mistake – so don't cry when you don't play.
“I'm devastated and I am a positive person, but right now I understand, like the pain of all United fans, because no one in this team deserves to play right now.”

NEVERMIND THE B*******!
With United trailing 4-1 at half-time, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was left with a crucial team-talk asking his players to show some pride for the club.
And Scott McTominay has revealed exactly what the Norwegian said to his charges at the break.
“The message was to show some b******* and to go on the pitch and show yourself as a Manchester United player,” the Scotsman told MUTV.
“Not to shy away, not want the ball, and not make any tackles. Never has that been Manchester United.”

PEEP-PEEP
Manchester United fans will be furious with their humiliating defeat to Tottenham today.
The Red Devils have just lost 1-6 at home to Spurs, and the reaction from this will be massive.
But with Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles reportedly on the verge of sealing moves to Old Trafford, those two could lift Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men.

NOT ALWAYS A GOOD FIT
United haven't always got it right when they've signed South Americans.
And with the club on the verge of sealing a deal for Uruguayan Edinson Cavani, it brings back memories of the Argentinians, Brazilians and more who worn the Red Devils jersey.
Here's who has and hasn't been a success for the Premier League giants, and how SunSport ranks them.

'IT'S EMBARRASSING'
Gary Neville has slammed Manchester United’s recruitment again this summer.
The former Old Trafford full-back told Off the Ball: “I just don’t think they’re smart enough and wise enough and agile enough in the market.
“They’re being outwitted in the market by the other clubs and if you lose recruitment you don’t win the league, it’s as simple as that.
“You can have a great coach but if you don’t get the right players you’re not going to win the league.
“The Sancho thing is embarrassing.
“It’s been going on now for fourth months. It’s embarrassing, that.
“And then to put a bid in that gets rejected, the smart clubs, they have deals sorted behind the scenes, the agents are working hard, club officials are agreed on things and when the bids goes in it gets accepted, it’s done.”

EMBARASSED EVRA
Former Manchester United player and legend Patrice Evra is not shy of voicing his opinion.
In the build up to the mouth watering tie between United and Spurs this afternoon, he spoke about certain topics
Evra said “When I meet people, unfortunately we always talk about transfer”
“I think the Sancho saga is embarrassing”
“Until I see Cavani with the Manchester United shirt, I won't say anything”
“I wish myself a better Sunday”
It's clear to see what he thinks of the Red Devils current transfer business so far.

I TELLE YOU WHAT

Moral of United's transfer window.

A BEEK DAY
Donny van de Beek could make his first league start for Manchester United as they take on former boss Jose Mourinho's Spurs today.
The midfielder has been limited to substitute appearances so far but Solskjaer said: “We know how many games we’re going to play this season and he’s going to be vital to us.”
Meanwhile Eric Bailly could start ahead of Victor Lindelof after a string of impressive performances.
Here's how we think the Red Devils may line up for the visit of Tottenham.

ROONEY RANT
The Sancho saga seems to be coming to an end but Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney reckons that a winger is not what they needed anyway.
He told the Sunday Times: “Why consider paying close to £100m for someone similar to talent you've got already?
“United have Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, and where would Sancho's arrival leave Mason Greenwood, who plays the same position ad is of similar age?”
“I'd rather put that £100m towards trying to get Harry Kane.”
“A Kane or Haaland or someone like Robert Lewandowski would give Rashford and Martial someone to play off and freedom to roam into different areas, pick the ball up and try to beat men – without the burden of always having to score.”

SANCHO IS A NO GO
Borussia Dortmund have made it clear to Manchester United that the ship has sailed to sign Jadon Sancho.
The Red Devils originally had a deadline on August 10 to wrap up the deal but came up a little over £15m short of the wingers £108m price tag.
Further speculation was added when Sancho was completely left out of the squad in Saturday's 4-0 victory over SC Freiburg.
However, Dortmund player Thomas Meunier stated to Sky Sports News that “Sancho is staying” before walking into the clubs training centre.
