I didn't post about it because it's Man United I would have done the same if it was Burnley and I think the media would have been the same.

Sure newbie. Similar incident and PGMOL said it was fine.

They are contradicting their own rule book and saying their ref made an error following the rules effectively this time. The PGMOL should have acknowledged this, and admitted that they needed to review their own rules to help referees get to the right outcome. That way you defend your man and admit that you got it wrong instead of what they have done here with a incident in a dead rubber game with a PR stunt.

Carrick officially announced. Hopefully he is back in the summer and the player don't throw him under the bus.

I see "cash-strapped" Barcelona are forking out 70m for Anthony Gordon. Forgive me as I didn't watch any of Barcelona last season but surely Gordon plays in the same position as Rashford (or did I hear they played Rashford on the right?

Contesting paying 26m for Rashford but happy to pay 70m for Gordon (in my view an inferior player).

What am I missing?

Is this the same Rashford on extortionate wages who the vast majority of United fans can't wait to see the back of?

Yep. Rashford probably a better footballer but in terms of attitude and workrate I know who I'd rather have and it's not even close.

I'm sorry, but I've not seen anything other than work rate that makes Anthony Gordon stand out

Barca will be pushing to win Champions League 10 goals in 12 games this season for Newcastle in that competition. Flexible forward can play right across the front line.

He'd be an upgrade on Conor Gallagher at best
