Manchester United – Newcastle United: Premier League – Live! | Soccer

27 min "As long as United has not solved the problem behind the scenes, they will have to continue hiring galactico managers with the experience of managing over 100 million players, "says Leo Carroll. "Someone like Eddie Howe (or even Poch) would be devoured in the Moyes way now. City identified Pep years ago and has spent the last three years coming to buy him players. Until United has that in place, they are stuck in Real Madrid by Jonathan Woodgate / Michael Owen. "

I do not agree that Howe or Pochettino would be eaten alive, but I agree that the club needs an urgent change of identity. They are not a team, but rather a collection of marketable products.

24 min Manchester United has improved since the substitution, with Rashford now playing just behind Lukaku. Pogba beats two players and hits a shot that deflects back to a corner.

23 min This is Charles Antaki. "As Oscar Wilde almost said:" You have to have a heart of stone to read the death of José Mourinho without laughing. "

I wonder what Arsène Wenger is doing, if he makes fun of him or if he wants to.

22 min Rashford misses a good opportunity by heading to the center of Lukaku this very far from the post far. He stretched but he still had to score.

21 min "Until the end of the year in New Zealand, I vowed not to go into another part," says Maxwell Lowe. "I love my club and I get up to watch anyway. That's what I get. It's embarrassing. Who knows what's going on right now, but if something does not change, it will only get worse. Mourinho will go before any player but players should be ashamed of having given up so easily. Where is the passion? It's really sad and yet I look again.

That's half the problem. Yes, Maxwell, you are the real villain of this story.

20 min In fact, Mata will replace Eric Bailly, so Scott McTominay will go on the defense.

18 min Shelvey 's shaky long – range shot is unconvincingly slapped around the post by De Gea, who looks very nervous right now.

17 min Juan Mata is preparing to come. I do not think anyone is hurt. It may be José Mourinho who offers a rigid V sign to Paul Pogba as he heads to the door. Or he might have cracked up and be about to kidnap David from Gea.

15 min Muto makes his way to the left, but sees a dubious mistake on Bailly. It could have been 3-0.

14 min Newcastle was brilliant. They felt the atmosphere – although, to be honest, they had to be hard enough not to feel it – and they acted accordingly. They were full of threat during the counterattack.

12 min "Tell me that your reference to Mourinho as" the poor guy "was sarcastic," there are many people in the world who deserve sympathy, but I would put it at the bottom of this list. "

Not at all. I have a lot of sympathy for him, even though he sometimes did silly things.

Manchester United has collapsed. A long center was thrown into the area in the direction of Muto, who had been given far too much time to control the ball, which was moving away from Ashley Young and forcing a low shot from the left foot that went straight through. the invisible De Gea.

It was too easy for Kenedyeven though he took it very well. Matic's negligence allowed Ayoze Perez to be hit by a touch that slid a pass into the right inside channel to give Kenedy a goal with Ashley Young. He returned to the field on his left foot and bowed emphatically in the opposite corner.

The departure of Manchester United has been rather messy – and they are now behind!

6 min "Say what you like about the advantages and disadvantages of the situation (and there are many on all sides)," begins Nick Smith, "but Mourinho sets the tone by not settling in Manchester."

5 min Lukaku is lucky not to be booked for a foul on the broken Ayoze Perez.

4 min Nothing to report so far. Newcastle appear to have come to play, which is not always the case for Rafa Benitez's teams.

2 min "I agree with this list, but I think the best option is Simeone," says Matt Dony. "That's why I sincerely hope they will not have it! Howe would potentially be a great date, but would probably need more time to sleep; the other two are more accustomed to "big" clubs and ridiculous selfishness. Poch would strengthen United, but his defeat would weaken the Spurs, which makes him average in the league. Simeone is amazing, with the strength to play his own game, anyway, and would probably put the fear of God in Pogba (and all the others – it's a terrifying presence). He creates a solid defensive base like old Jose, but has the gift of integrating a real intention of attack as well.

Simeone would be hilarious. Imagine his provocative sideline style and his moralistic reaction.

1 minute Peep Peep! Newcastle, in his third blue kit, starts. Manchester are in red.

Jose Mourinho was well received, who tries to sound impassive as he walks along the sideline while chewing gum. Poor guy. His head must be in pieces now.

Newcastle record at Old Trafford is catastrophic, although they won here in the year David Moyes. This is their only victory on this ground since 1972.

Rafa de Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere

"We have to be strong, try to stay in the game and try to get something. If we do the same thing we did last year, we will have some chances. It's a long season, so we have to continue. Last year, we were in the last five in January and we finished tenths. "

"Hi Rob" said David Wall. "Completely agree with Eddie Howe, but it's just as important that the club supports him properly. And by that, I'm not talking about money, but rather giving him time and accepting that it involves a few seasons without much success, as he builds a structure that will last, as he did in Bournemouth . He is young enough to become a generational manager for United and although this is not the way things are going now, surely if a club can get involved and say that it is like that. he will do things in hell with what is done elsewhere. Plus, they absolutely do not want to name big names without the experience of someone like Chelsea or Real Madrid, who can do it successfully. "

Yes, I agree. I would have a short list of three: Howe, Pochettino and Simeone. All have built teams with a distinct identity and largely overwhelmed. You will never get a Generation Director, but none of them could stay for a decade.

Jose Mourinho interview before the match

"[Is this a must-win game?] Every game is a game to win absolutely. That's how I feel and how much I like my players feel. It's a team question, not a [individual selections]. We did not have a phenomenal performance against Valencia, but it was positive and making a lot of changes would not be the right thing to do. Right now, Ashley Young can give us a little more speed and energy on the bright side. "

When Mourinho goes awayEddie Howe should be on the short list to replace him.

Ashley Young replaces Manchester United captain Antonio Valencia, who is not on the team.

Man Utd (4-3-3) De Gea; Young, Bailly, Smalling, Shaw; McTominay, Matic, Pogba; Rashford, Lukaku, Martial.
Alternates: Romero, Lindelof, Mata, Pereira, Fred, Fellaini, Alexis.

Newcastle (4-2-3-1) Dubravka; Yedlin, Lascelles, Fernandez, Manquillo; Shelvey, Diame; Ritchie, Perez, Kenedy; Muto.
Substitutes: Darlow, Clark, Schar, Murphy, Hayden, Atsu, Joselu.

Arbitrator Anthony Taylor.

He's still in charge, then. Something happens when Newcastle United Mike Ashley looks like the model club of all matches, but that's the case today. There is not much new to say about the Manchester United disaster, except that the convincing vituperation of Gary Neville last night could make more people understand that this story has bigger villains than Jose Mourinho.

It looks like Mourinho is not being fired this weekend, whatever happens in this match, but it will take a short time before someone prints a P45 bearing his name. Due to the nature of modern life, it is almost impossible for managers to come back as before. In the era of the latest news and exaggerated dramas, current football is often treated as a charge between two newsletters. This match is a background for the story of Mourinho and not the opposite. Sad!

Start is at 17:30.
