Mourinho: Rooney asked to leave Although the Red Devils have agreed a £75 million deal to sign Lukaku, who has had a medical, they have not yet completed the signing and could be added to the 27-man squad later. New signing Lindelof was part of the team that departed for Los Angeles on Sunday, while youngsters Scott McTominay, Demetri Mitchell and Axel Tuanzebe are also included. After missing the end of last season with a foot injury, Luke Shaw will be part of preparations for 2017-18 from the beginning as he is named on the list....

“This was a photo I took on my flight from Cleveland to Nashville on Allegiant Airlines on Friday,” posted Twitter user Jessica Hazeltine, a Council Representative for the city of Medina, Ohio. “Yes, this man used a surgical mask to cover his eyes.

Raheem Sterling was in sparkling form, plundering a hat-trick, with Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero also on target in a game that suggests the rest of the league will have their work cut out stopping Pep Guardiola’s side marching to a third consecutive title. Liverpool, who pushed City so close last season, also picked up where they left off, scoring four first-half goals to defeat promoted Norwich City 4-1 at Anfield....

Now, the real reason behind Manchester City failing to sign Alexis Sanchez has been revealed by Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak. The reigning Premier League champions were put off by the asking price of £40 million and Alexis Sanchez’s exorbitant wage demands which stood at £505,000 a week. Sanchez joined Manchester United in January while Henrikh Mkhitaryan went the other way. The City chairman still believes that the deal did not make sense for them financially and that’s why the chose to stop the pursuit....

City are of course the league leaders, 2 points ahead of Manchester United. They could temporarily slip down to second place by kick-off and if that happens, hopefully it will put a dent in their confidence. We can talk about the Emmanuel Adebayor incident a couple of seasons ago or about the player who left us in the summer for more monetary reward. Or even them becoming the new Barcelona in trying to tap up Robin Van Persie....

Chelsea last week condemned “abhorrent posts” aimed at Tammy Abraham after the forward had a spot-kick saved in the UEFA Super Cup loss to Liverpool....

Thomas Tuchel’s Ligue 1 heavyweights crafted a commanding 2-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford, with a red card for Paul Pogba compounding problems for caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who must grapple with a hefty injury list in the French capital on Wednesday.

On Tuesday night, local poet Tony Walsh summed up everything that is great about Manchester with a stirring five-minute address at a vigil in the heart of the city following the terror attack which rocked the UK less than 24 hours earlier. Mourinho is selling United short On Wednesday, Manchester’s latest attempt to move on from Monday’s horrific events will take place before the eyes of the world as Manchester United take on Ajax in the Europa League final in Stockholm....

Mourinho started with the same 3 man midfield from the last game, with Fred and Pereira partnering Herrera. Rashford, wearing the number 10 jersey, led the line for United, as Sanchez reverted back to his natural position on the left of the front 3. Mata started in the right of midfield. Contrary to expectations, Bayern fielded a strong team themselves, using the same 4-3-3 formation. Manuel Neuer started in goal....

David Moyes faced his former club, Everton, since making the switch to Manchester United in the summer, at Old Trafford. Moyes has been highly regarded among the Everton faithful, up until his move to Manchester. The Scot, however, failed to record a single away win against the traditional (and now defunct) ‘big four’. Roberto Martinez has managed to better Moyes’ record in his first attempt. Everton, who have lost just 1 league game all season, proved to be more than just a match for the Red Devils, claiming their first win at the stadium since 1992....

Schweinsteiger was last selected from the start when the holders beat Sheffield United in the third round of last season’s competition, before fitness problems and being frozen out by Louis van Gaal’s successor Jose Mourinho intervened.

EA recently unveiled the ratings of the top 22 ranking players in FIFA 22, and interestingly, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo was knocked down from his 2nd position in the rankings by Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. Thankfully for Manchester United though, that hasn’t affected the overall quality of their squad too much. With big names like Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes for support, Ronaldo’s 91-rated card is sure to do wonders for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team....

Many pundits have blamed United’s lack of a Sporting Director for their flawed transfer activity and decline since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure in 2013. According to MEN, United may have found the answer to their prayers in 2008 Champions League-winning legend Rio Ferdinand. In case you didn’t know… Ferdinand was signed by Ferguson from Leeds United in the 2002-03 season and he went on to become one of the world’s top center backs, forming a seemingly insurmountable central defensive partnership with Serbian Nemanja Vidic....

Rio Ferdinand had his say on the controversy and he is of the opinion that Rooney was being his own nemesis. “If you look at the elite players like Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar and [Gareth] Bale, the difference with those players, and Wayne and the mistake that he made, is publicly doing it,” Ferdinand told BT Sport. “You wouldn’t see those players out until five in the morning absolutely off their head....
