Play the percentages
"Of all the statistics collected by Manchester United's behind-the-scenes staff during the first two weeks of the tour, one in particular is remarkable. The high intensity work that players have been doing so far in Perth and Singapore has increased by 50% over the corresponding period last summer, when Jose Mourinho put his team to the test "- Chris Wheeler, Daily mail.
"The Manchester United players have been forced to increase their work rate by 50% while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is planning to put together an energetic game to compete with Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp" – James Robson, Standard evening.
And there are others. The club's message is clear: this set of players is working harder than ever before and it's a lack of fitness that has caused this collapse at the end of the season. It was certainly the fault of the late José Mourinho and nothing to do with neither the players nor with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
"We think the players were just not physically able to cope with Solskjaer's demands – which ultimately led their campaign to get rid of dramatically," writes Robson, while Paul Hirst writes in The temperature Solskjaer said the end-of-season dive was due to a lack of fitness and the team's inability to take a quick break. On to ESPNSolskjaer and his team of coaches explained the sport science department that race statistics, including distance traveled during games and the number of short sprints, fell sharply after the impressive start of the reign of Solskjaer. & # 39 ;.
This is a real badault on the Manchester United press that the club's traveling journalists are happy to pbad on to British and international fans.
The statistics on United's intense work are particularly catchy, although Mediawatch finds it odd that no journalist apparently established the link wanting that this year, United players were recovering from a cut of the world that had nine during the quarter. -finals and beyond. Half of United's first XI choice did not even return to training until early August.
Oh, and in case you're wondering … we knew there would be one and, deliciously, that's the MailOnline who reacted to the news that Manchester United was running 50% more with this title:
"REVEALED: How Solskjaer DOUBLE the pre-season workload of Manchester United to suit his needs."
Well the mail to have tells us for years that standards in education are falling …
See the results
Chris Wheeler of Daily mail "The scoreless draw with Liverpool in February was considered a turning point when three players – Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard – were hamstring injuries in the first period. Solskjaer was forced to narrow his approach and United was never again like before. "
Well, they have won their next three games, including the Champions League clash with PSG, which have earned Solskjaer their place, but that should not detract from a strong public relations campaign.
Martial issues
For Anthony Martial, Manchester United, the time is on the verge of crisis. Manchester Evening News:
"A goal in Solskjaer's first game against Cardiff was a false dawn, in fact Martial scored only three times under Solskjaer and has not found the net of the game open in pre-season."
Yes. No goal in 152 minutes of football. Put him out.
D & # 39; AGREEMENT
Remember July 14th when The sun exclusively reported that "MANCHESTER UNITED has signed a record £ 80 million contract for Leicester Harry Maguire's defender"? He was going to have your doctor on monday. He did not have his medical exam on Monday. Or Tuesday or Wednesday.
Fast forward one week to July 21st and The sun were back, reporting that "Man Utd" has accepted the terms of the transfer of Maguire for £ 80 million while Solskjaer continues to spend its energy "This time, they were getting their information from Bleacher's report, totally forgetting that they were claiming exactly the same thing a week ago. Because who cares a week after?
Especially when you can claim the highest amount of searches "Maguire" on Google with this title:
"UNITED NEWS 12pm: Man-Utd: live news: Atletico joins the Eriksen race, Maguire agrees, update the ball, £ 70m sought by Pepe."
At this point, it is needless to point out that there is no mention of Christian Eriksen in the story.
Impossible omission
Do not you think nothing is happening … the The Daily Star website Bring us "5 transfers that could be made this week: two transactions with Arsenal, record fee for Man Utd, Basel."
Nothing in the final entry – "Pedro Obiang in Sbaduolo" – suggests that straws were stuck.
Peak hour
The desperate search for new transfer lines has taken the Daily Mirror Website Rich Jones in the Spanish newspaper AS, who had an update from Paul Pogba on Monday morning.
After a few hundred words that could mean that Pogba will join Real Madrid, here are the last lines of this Spanish report:
"But Pogba is the preferred choice of Zidane, the latest indications being that United will start discussions on its sale to 200 million euros, 50 million more than the maximum expenditure that Madrid has set for the transaction.
"The proof of the possibility that the transfer will eventually happen, however, can be seen in the fact that we now think that United is a substitute for Pogba, with notably Bruno Fernández, Christian Eriksen and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. . frame & # 39;
This seems pretty clear. AS claims that Real Madrid's chances of signing Pogba are boosted by United's interest in these three players.
Or it seems clear enough for everyone except Rich Jones, who likely flipped through the article and who emerged with this title:
"Three Real Madrid transfer alternatives with Paul Pogba – including two Man Utd targets"
Uh …
"It is believed that Real Madrid is developing a plan to unload Paul Pogba from Manchester United – but they have now identified three potential alternatives in case they miss one.
According to AS, Los Blancos continue to watch Tottenham star Christian Eriksen as they consider a move if the Pogba movement does not materialize.
"But two players linked to Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, would also be reserve options."
Has there not been a moment when Jones thought "wait a minute, is not it a mbadive coincidence?"?
Or even 'do not have my colleague Martin Domin has already done exactly the same story but actually managed to read at the bottom of the play AS without getting confused? Maybe I should leave it to him … '?
Stretch of the day
From the last page of Daily Mirror:
"HARRY KANE scored a fantastic 53-yard goal against Juventus to annoy the former Arsenal goalkeeper, Wojciech Szczesny – just like Nayim against David Seaman in 1995."
It's basically exactly the same thing.
