Manchester United

TV and radio host Nihal Arthanayake now lives in Salford, but he is a childhood Tottenham fan.

We were there when Jose was managing United and we won 3-0. United had lots of mascots for that game being the home team, but there was only one away mascot. Interviewing Eric Cantona is a whole different level of interview, especially when that interview happens to take place in Manchester.

With matches coming thick and fast, the Premier League delivers another intriguing fixture.Manchester United, who are coming off a goalless draw against ...

A cross-field ball over the top of Tottenham's defence finds Bruno in acres of space. Spurs sorely lacking in composure and control. Only 2-0 but that was comprehensive and comfortable for United, the scoreline flatters them. The Premier League is so exciting." Marcus Rashford didn't score today but did so much, Jadon Sancho too and he was involved in Fred's goal." "We had many good performances, against Newcastle we did a really good performance, controlled the game and did not get the result. Bruno Fernandes spoke to BBC Sport after the match: "Everyone is really pleased, it was a great performance and the perfect performance. Today it was a team performance then individuals can show themselves." "The plan was to get in those spaces, but you need switch of play, dynamic and get their backline back. [Hugo Lloris](https://theathletic.com/football/player/hugo-lloris-Bwqo0JNjOYvtJCMn/) was the lone bright spot for Antonio Conte's side as he made eight saves, several of them brilliant. Fourteen of those 19 shots came from outside the box, perhaps explaining the failure to score. The victory puts United just one point back of [Chelsea](https://theathletic.com/football/team/chelsea/) for fourth place in the table.

Tottenham head to Old Trafford to face Manchester United — follow all the latest updates from the Premier League game.

120 mins to KO: We're here at Old Trafford for a big game in the battle for the top four — and, just maybe, the Premier League title in the case of Spurs. Rashford offers more mobility against the visiting defence, but he was guilty of missing a clear chance to score a late winner against Newcastle — a chance Ronaldo would be expected to score. For Tottenham, Ivan Perisic gets the nod on the left-hand side in what looks like a 5-3-2 set-up. The Brazilian cuts inside on his left foot and curls the ball towards the right-hand upright, which it clips on its way behind for a goal kick. He had a great view just then of a fine crossfield pass from Kane to Doherty, who got into the box but couldn't find the target. The Brazilian squares to Sancho, who lays the ball off to Fred on the edge of the box. Fred tried to turn a loose ball forwards just inside the Spurs box, Dier blocked it back to Fernandes, and he swept a sumptuous first-time finish out of Lloris' reach. Fred, being Fred, launches a counter-attack, loses the ball, then promptly wins it back and gives it to Rashford. 85 mins: Cheers from the home fans as the Spurs contingent try to cheer on their side for a late comeback. Fred then caps a tremendous performance by robbing Kane of the ball, but Rashford is offside as United try to counter. Early in the first half, Conte was yelling and gesturing to his players with practically every kick of the ball, as though moving pieces about a Subbuteo board. He won the ball high up the pitch and was purposeful in possession to keep United attacks moving, helping to give them a balance that hasn’t always been apparent this season.

Manchester United's Mason Greenwood has been released on bail following a private hearing after he was charged with attempted rape and assault.

Greenwood was first held in January over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online. Following the hearing, the court said bail had been granted to Greenwood, under the condition that he does not contact witnesses, including the complainant, and resides at a specific address. Greenwood, 21, who was remanded in custody on Monday, did not attend the bail application that was held in private in a court in Manchester.

Greenwood has been charged with three counts against one complainant and has not played for Manchester United since January.

enquiries are ongoing and the victim is being offered specialist support. A statement from police on Monday, January 31, said: “Detectives have been granted additional time to speak to a man in his twenties who is being held on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman… Greenwood was arrested on Sunday, January 30 on suspicion of rape and assault, and further arrested on Tuesday, February 1 on suspicion of sexual assault and making threats to kill.

The Portuguese international signed for United in January 2020 and became an instant hit with fans as his buccaneering, creative style of play supercharged Ole ...

“It’s something for us as the players, because you have to be in like a cage until the game, and when you get your space and your time to go off, you want to go somewhere where you can relax and be walking with your kids where they can enjoy the time they have. “The most difficult thing for me is studying and doing the homework with my daughter because she has the accent and it’s really difficult for me. I’m really a home person so when I get off I want to go somewhere where my kids can be enjoying and run and do whatever they want and come home dirty.” “I think the mixed culture you have in Manchester is really good, even in a restaurant way, because you can have whatever you want at different places. I was used to it when I was in Portugal with my father and going to the coffee shops where they play cards, they play chess, they play pool, they play darts also. I know it was something a bit familiar and it’s something I like to do also with my family.”
