The France international was forced from the field during the Red Devils’ Champions League opener against Basel on September 12. A hamstring complaint has left him on crutches as United wait to discover how long he will be missing for. Whatever the timescale put on his recovery, Mkhitaryan concedes that the absence of a key man will be felt by Jose Mourinho’s Premier League title hopefuls. The Armenian forward told SFR Sport: “It’s hard, because he’s a top player for us....

Rashford the new lion king for Man Utd United won 1-0 at Balaidos in the semi-final, first leg on Thursday courtesy of Marcus Rashford’s impressive second-half free-kick, which deceived Celta goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez. That came after the visitors had seen Sergio produce a stunning save from Rashford, while also denying Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard in huge scoring opportunities for the visitors prior to the break. Although United hold the advantage going into next Thursday’s second leg at Old Trafford, Mourinho feels the tie could have been over had his side taken their chances....

Named in Manchester United’s starting XI for a Premier League clash with Tottenham, the Swede made his 700th club appearance in the Old Trafford fixture. ‘Mkhitaryan is better than Ozil’ That tally has been reached over the course of 17 years, with Ibrahimovic having made his senior debut for Malmo (47 appearances) back in 1999. Since then, the buccaneering frontman has taken in trophy-laden spells across Europe with the likes of Ajax (110), Juventus (92), AC Milan (85), Barcelona (46), Inter Milan (117) and Paris St Germain (180)....

United have won six of their seven games in 2018 so far, but as they head to the north-east they have the dreadful 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their last away fixture still reasonably fresh in the mind. MAN UTD INJURIES Marouane Fellaini misses out after undergoing surgery on his troublesome left knee. The Belgian is likely to be absent until the end of March, ruling him out of at least nine fixtures in all competition....

Lifestyle Management As you are recovering from your surgery, there are practical things that you can do during the first few months to prevent pain from starting and to reduce your pain if you have any. Maintain physical activity: As you recover, you should continue to carry out simple day-to-day tasks and regularly get up and walk around your home. This is recommended to reduce your risk of developing harmful blood clots, and it also prevents you from remaining in one position for too long, which can make it painful when you finally get up and move....

The Red Devils started the game poorly and were put to the sword by a ruthless Man City side that played with Raheem Sterling as a false striker. Pep Guardiola’s side dominated the early exchanges and rightly took the lead through captain Vincent Kompany who rose unmarked to head home from a corner. The Cityzens doubled their lead five minutes later as Ilkay Gundogan turned Nemanja Matic inside-out before firing a low shot past David de Gea....

Manchester City have agreed £34 million deal to sign Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fernandinho, according to reports. The Brazilian, known for his blistering pace and ability to shoot from long distance, is a defensive midfielder with a box to box style of play and contributes in large parts to both defense and attack. With Manuel Pellegrini set to be appointed manager in the next few days, City have already started strengthening their squad to regain the Premier League title....

According to RAC1’s Gerard Romero, Griezmann was desperate to leave Barcelona at the end of his first season with the club, which was riddled with uncertainty. After signing under the tutelage of Ernesto Valverde, Griezmann had to deal with a change of head coach midway through the season, when Quique Setien was appointed, but eventually, the Spaniard too was sacked at the end of the season. Griezmann joined Barcelona last summer, for a fee of £108million, from Atletico Madrid, in what was then touted as a dream move for the French attacker....

The club had bought several big names such as Angel Di Maria and Memphis Depay with eye-watering transfer fees but all of them eventually ended up in disappointment. Alexis Sanchez was then bought as their latest addition to wear the number 7 jersey. Although he did not cost United a single penny on transfer last year, Sanchez’s colossal £500,000 a week wage reflects of how much the Red Devils value him....

While both clubs do occupy the top 2 positions in the league, the Red Devils have been nowhere as prolific as their noisy neighbours, with the Citizens needing just 2 wins from 8 matches to lift the title trophy. Jose Mourinho and his men have just the FA Cup left to fight for this season. The Portuguese manager has often been accused of being too defensive with his tactics and publicly criticizing players such as Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw....

Coming into the game, PSG were considered the clear cut favorites to advance into the next round of Champions League. They had already defeated the Red Devils at Old Trafford by 2 goals, and just needed to concede less than three goals. If we compare the teams on paper they look well matched, but several of United’s key players such as Anthony Martial, Nemanja Matic and Jesse Lingard were out due to injuries....

In an inconsequential game with little intensity, Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock after Juan Mata expertly controlled the retiring Michael Carrick’s long ball, before laying the ball on a plate for the 20-year old. Here are a few talking points: #1 End-of-season feeling to the game As expected, the game passed without much incident as both teams had little to play for. The hosts, having secured the second position behind runaway leaders Manchester City gave their bench-strength a run-out....

It was the hosts’ game to lose for long stretches of the game as United often looked clueless and could not find the decisive touch in the final third. Atletico Madrid bagged the lead in the seventh minute as Felix headed in Renan Lodi’s cross, which he whipped in after picking up on clearance following a corner. The hosts kicked off the game intending to score early and had an attempt blocked in just the third minute following a corner....

Bailly back in training after long-term injury The Ivory Coast international had an injury-laden 2019 which saw him feature in just 7 games for the Red Devils. He was sidelined with a medial ligament injury last April and missed the remainder of the season. Bailly returned in time for United’s pre-season tour but suffered another injury in a game against Tottenham Hotspur, resulting in him missing the first half of the 2019-20 season....

Speaking to the media ahead of the encounter, Solskjaer almost ‘confirmed ’that new signing Donny van de Beek could play a part in the game. Quizzed about the possibility of fielding the midfield trio of Paul Pogba, Donny van de Beek and Bruno Fernandes, Solskjaer claimed that it is an entirely plausible setup but reiterated that the likes of Fred, Scott McTominay and Nemanja Matic are also very much in his plans....

The Colombia international’s new No. 9 United shirt accounted for 33 percent of all sales globally during the week following his deadline day arrival on loan from Monaco. In comparison, Di Maria boasted 24 percent of first-week sales, while Alexis Sanchez and Mario Balotelli totaled just 13 percent. Di Maria, though, has proved the most popular at Old Trafford with 20.6 percent of all sales including the Argentine’s name and number....

In spite of fielding a second-choice team, and with mainly teenagers to bring on from the bench, United scored twice through Romelu Lukaku in the first-half, with Juan Bernet scoring for PSG in between. The hosts looked destined to advance to quarter-finals, but United were awarded a controversial penalty, via a VAR decision, in the 91st minute, with Marcus Rashford coolly converting it to crash out PSG. With the English club advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, let’s look at Manchester United player ratings....

In case you didn’t know… A young Ronaldo signed for Manchester United as a replacement for David Beckham, who had left for La Liga giants Real Madrid, in 2003. The Portuguese honed the spotlight at Old Trafford and emerged as one of the hottest prospects in football at the time. He went on to win three Premier League crowns and one Champions League trophy during his six-year stint with the club....

Bailly started a first Premier League game for United since February in Sunday’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea but was withdrawn in the 71st minute. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer revealed after the match that the 25-year-old would not feature again for his club this season and the damage is severe enough to mean Bailly cannot take part in Ivory Coast’s matches in Egypt when the 2019 continental tournament begins in June....
