New United home kit ‘leaked’ by Barcelona
Manchester United’s new adidas home kit for 2020/21 appears to have been accidentally leaked on Barcelona’s official YouTube channel .
In a video of a Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 match between United and Barcelona uploaded on Sunday, the thumbnail shows Paul Pogba in an unfamiliar kit. The post was quickly taken down by the club.
Although the shirt is United’s trademark red with Adidas stripes down the arms, it is a highly unusual kit. The white collar could be an allusion to the 1990/91 United home kit, whereas the black and yellow dashes around the shirt are completely new.
The kit aligns with previous leaked details in March, while on Saturday a report claimed United will play in a green away kit next season.
Ighalo says Martial and Fernandes have impressed him most
Odion Ighalo has revealed which two players have impressed him the most since joining the club in January.
The Nigerian praised Anthony Martial and Bruno Fernandes during a video call on the official United website, claiming their true quality is revealed when watching them in training every day.
“Anthony, since I came, he’s been scoring goals and doing so well, fighting a lot. He is a great player, he has great technique,” Ighalo said. “Watching it from outside it's different. You only watch games every weekend and see how skillful he is.
“But I train with this guy every day, you understand? Every blessed day I train with him, and it's incredible what he does in training.”
Ighalo, who has scored four goals for the club since arriving from Shanghai Shenhua, also suggested Fernandes will get better and better.
“He is intelligent, he has foresight, he has vision,” Ighalo said. “He sees what he wants to do with the ball before it comes to him.
“He comes from a very different place to the Premier League. When that guy has settled down, he’s going to take the Premier League by storm.”
Rashford is enjoying his “natural” role of left winger and striker under Solskjaer
Finding out Marcus Rashford’s best position has been a problem for successive United managers, but the young England international appears happy with the balance he has found under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer .
Rashford has enjoyed the best goalscoring season of his career so far, netting 14 times in 22 league games before the Premier League’s suspension, and he cites a good relationship with Anthony Martial as key to his form.
“A lot of it depends on the players that you are playing with,” Rashford told the UTD podcast. “When you are on the left, you can create a lot more things on your own, giving that little bit more to the team.”
He went on to express his love for the number nine role, but admitted that it is not always the best position for him to play in.
“Right now I’m enjoying having the freedom to mix between the two and I think it suits us well at the moment as Anthony likes to drift to the left and drop deep as well," he said.
“To be honest, it does feel natural to be playing in the position that I’m playing now - I’m in the middle between the left and centre-forward and it’s definitely positive.”

themanchestereveningnews--2020-04-20--Rashford likened to Premier League legend after best scoring season

Andy Gray has insisted that Marcus Rashford is most effective playing from the left for Manchester United and likened him to Thierry Henry .
Throughout the early stages of Rashford 's career , there was a wild debate about his best position .
Many felt the Englishman was best deployed as a central striker , although Jose Mourinho insisted otherwise and opted with Romelu Lukaku as his lone frontman .
With Lukaku sold to Inter Milan in the summer , many expected Rashford to take the mantle of first-choice striker , only for Anthony Martial to get the nod from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new number nine .
It 's a decision that has been inspired , with Rashford enjoying his best season to date , scoring 14 goals in 22 Premier League appearances .
As a result , Gray has likened Rashford 's style to that of Arsenal legend Henry , a prolific goal-scorer who often found his best success drifting in from wide areas .
`` It seems that Jose ( Mourinho ) knew more than most people thought he did , '' Gray told beIN SPORTS .
`` There were many reasons Jose did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out with people , they did n't like his style of play , but the thing about Rashford , nobody can look back and say 'Jose you were wrong about him ' .
`` He can sit there and say ' I told you guys ' and I agree with him .
I think he is better there ( wide left ) .
The one thing the boy has got is unbelievable pace and the ability to run forward with the ball quickly and manipulate it quickly .
`` Getting space to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ area than it is if you 're playing at the top end of a football pitch , it 's much more difficult .
I 've said he looks more like he 's going to be a Thierry Henry type of frontman , he 'll drift into areas and go wide and when he gets it , he can explode and destroy people .
`` He 's not an Aguero , who will sit up there , he 's not a Lukaku who will play up there , not like a Jesus .
They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ extent that Rashford or Henry would do .
`` They do that for a reason , to create space for themselves .
If defenders come high up the pitch , fine , ' I 'll run over the top all day long ' .
With compact defences when it 's tight , to get him more space , he 's a much better play coming off that left side than he is playing at the top end . ''

There were plans to release a "significant number" last week but the programme had to be put on hold after six inmates were released by mistake due to an "administrative error" before being returned to prison, the MoJ said.
As of Friday, the number of criminals behind bars in England and Wales had dropped by more than 1,000 in a fortnight to around 81,000.
Some 17 pregnant inmates and mothers with babies out of around 70 have been temporarily freed, Mr Buckland told the Commons Human Rights Committee on Monday.
Conceding it was a small number so far, Mr Buckland said: "I want to make sure each of them has a package of support."
Answering concerns that a ban on visits meant children were being denied the chance to see their mothers, he told the committee more telephones have been made available so relatives can keep in contact, adding that he would not be creating a system that "would allow a blanket release".
When asked if single mothers would be given priority, he said: "I think it would be wrong of me to sit here and try and create categories of people based upon their characteristics.
"I recognise the particular pressures on the children of single mothers but, at the same time, I think the early release system that we've created and compassionate release powers that I already had and am using together with the need to shield the most vulnerable is the most effective way for me to strike a balance here in a way that the public would accept and understand."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-04-20--Man Utd striker Marcus Rashford provides injury update

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has revealed that he is stepping up his recovery from injury , although it 's challenging to do so while away from the training ground .
Rashford was enjoying his most prolific season for United yet with a return of 19 goals and five assists in 31 appearances in all competitions before he suffered a serious back injury in January .

Just day-by-day really , taking it slow .
`` It 's difficult , training at the training ground every day is the peak of your fitness , to try and emulate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ everyone 's just trying to get as close to that as they can to that .
`` Some of the lads have been out running every day , they have programmes from the clubs , sometimes it 's 5ks 6ks , but even doing that running 6k maybe it 's more than you 'd run in a training session but it 's not the same intensity , no spike in intensity , so it 's difficult .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-04-20--Birmingham City's role in potential Bellingham move to Man Utd

A weekly report by the CIES Football Observatory has highlighted Birmingham City as one of the top stepping-stone clubs in English football .
The study , which looks at which clubs ' current big-5 league players departed from to reach the five major European top flights , paints an interesting picture .
Ajax are at the top of the list .
The Dutch club has a history of developing young talent and counts 22 players that have moved to big-5 leagues , according to CIES Football Observatory .
Championship side Birmingham City are perhaps a surprise inclusion in the top @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest , and bettered only by Charlton Athletic and Leeds United .
The next top player to emerge from the club ’ s production line looks like being Jude Bellingham , with the teenage wonderkid wanted by Manchester United .
Bellingham has risen through the ranks at St Andrew ’ s , and became Birmingham ’ s youngest first-team player – at the age of 16 years , 38 days , beating the record of 16 years 139 days set by Trevor Francis in 1970 .
The club @ @ @ @ @ @ @ region of £20million for the midfielder in January , and are hoping to get north of £30million for him this summer .
Predicted to be one of the brightest talents of his generation , former United man Rio Ferdinand has encouraged the Reds to try and sign Bellingham .
“ Jude Bellingham , huge talent , huge talent , really good-looking footballer in the way he plays , the balance he ’ s got , the maturity at such a young age , ” Ferdinand said on .
“ I want to see @ @ @ @ @ @ @ phenomenal .
£30m-odd for a kid , for a 16-year-old boy , it ’ s unbelievable .
But it ’ s the way of the world now and the way you ’ ve got to think about it , if you ’ re paying £30m , if we keep him for 10 years , it ’ s money well spent .
“ It ’ s a gamble , it ’ s an expensive gamble , but for the kid to be playing in the Championship and doing what he ’ s doing and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a gamble but a calculated one .
I think he ’ s someone I would 100 per cent take .
If I ’ m Man Utd now , go in and get him.
” Capped at U17 level by England , Bellingham has drawn comparisons to former England midfielder Steven Gerrard for his dynamism and ability to drive through the middle of the pitch .
Birmingham boss Pep Clotet has called for Bellingham to remain focused despite the reported interest from bigger teams .
“ I always thought he is very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has to be , ” Clotet said .
“ Because he can not be thinking about other things than Birmingham City – and I am sure he is only thinking about Birmingham City.
” The 54th edition of the CIES Football Observatory revealed that recruitment from a non-big-5 league team is the most common way of entering the five major European leagues ( 48 % ) .

Bellingham has risen through the ranks at St Andrew’s, and became Birmingham’s youngest first-team player – at the age of 16 years, 38 days, beating the record of 16 years 139 days set by Trevor Francis in 1970.
The club reportedly turned down a bid in the region of £20million for the midfielder in January, and are hoping to get north of £30million for him this summer. Predicted to be one of the brightest talents of his generation, former United man Rio Ferdinand has encouraged the Reds to try and sign Bellingham.
“Jude Bellingham, huge talent, huge talent, really good-looking footballer in the way he plays, the balance he’s got, the maturity at such a young age,” Ferdinand said on Instagram Live .
“I want to see more, but the price tag is phenomenal. £30m-odd for a kid, for a 16-year-old boy, it’s unbelievable. But it’s the way of the world now and the way you’ve got to think about it, if you’re paying £30m, if we keep him for 10 years, it’s money well spent.
“It’s a gamble, it’s an expensive gamble, but for the kid to be playing in the Championship and doing what he’s doing and looking the player he is, it’s a gamble but a calculated one. I think he’s someone I would 100 per cent take. If I’m Man Utd now, go in and get him.”
Capped at U17 level by England, Bellingham has drawn comparisons to former England midfielder Steven Gerrard for his dynamism and ability to drive through the middle of the pitch. Birmingham boss Pep Clotet has called for Bellingham to remain focused despite the reported interest from bigger teams.
“I always thought he is very mature and very focused – but he has to be,” Clotet said. “Because he cannot be thinking about other things than Birmingham City – and I am sure he is only thinking about Birmingham City.”
