themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-19--'It's not good' - the Salford street where the bomb sqaud's been called in twice

It must have felt like Groundhog Day for the residents of Worsley Road and Swanage Road in Salford .
Around 28 hours after a controlled explosion was carried out on a suspicious package found in a flat , police descended upon the Winton area of Eccles , once again late on Thursday night .
The Willowfold block of flats in Worsley Road , a number of houses on the same road and houses on nearby Swanage Road , were all evacuated .
A 35-year-old man has been detained under the mental health act in connection to both incidents .
Residents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friends if possible and an occupant from one of the flats was arrested .
Although police had long gone by Friday morning , bleary-eyed residents who had chosen to stay with loved ones returned to their homes .
A woman living on Worsley Road , just a few houses down from the flats , was one of those who chose to go elsewhere .
Returning home at around 9.30am , she told MySalford and the Manchester Evening News : `` I went to my mum 's , I have a little one so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
`` I missed it on Wednesday because I was in work all day but my dad was here with the little one and he got evacuated , so my daughter 's been evacuated twice !
`` I do n't know anyone who lives in the flats .
There 's never been any trouble that I 'm aware of .
`` It 's not good though is it , right on your doorstep .
What were they ( the packages ) made for ?
What was the intention ?
That 's the worst @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would n't have been planning on blowing up the flats . ''
For people heading to work , the incident which carried on into the early hours of the morning had a knock-on effect , with people visibly looking tired and one man saying he was running very late .
Another man living on Swanage Road stopped to chat as he loaded up his car before work .
For him there was certainly a sense of déjà vu but he also found some humour in the situation .
He said : `` We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say that we were going to be evacuated again .
We 'll probably get the same call tonight !
`` I just waited at the top of the street for the blast and then went back into the house .
They were here for around two hours .
`` I 've heard they found something under the floorboards this time .
There are a few troublemakers who live there but they said the flats were going to be knocked down a couple of years ago because they found a big crack through the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case that people were just carrying on with their lives without fuss .
An elderly lady who was collecting her milk , just after 8am , admitted that no one really knew what had gone on and were still waiting on the police to update them .
She added : `` All I know is that we were all evacuated and encouraged to stay with friends or family if possible .
I 've just come back from staying at a friend 's house .
`` I do n't really know what 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ n't told us anything .
All I 've seen is what I saw last night and a few bits on Facebook .
The apartment complex in which the suspicious package was discovered last night , also seemed particularly quiet .
There did not seem to be much activity of residents coming or going between 8am and 11am .
A spokeswoman for Greater Manchester Police said : `` Police attended Worsley Road in Eccles on Wednesday 17 June 2020 and carried out a controlled explosion .
`` Yesterday ( Thursday 18 June 2020 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bomb disposal officers carried out a further controlled explosion .
`` A police cordon was in place as officers carried out the explosion and nearby buildings were evacuated .
The scene has now been closed and residents have since been allowed to return to their homes .
`` A 35-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of possession of a knife has been detained under the mental health act . ''

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-19--Solskjaer knows how Jadon Sancho can fix Man United's attacking issue

With the Premier League now back , Manchester United ’ s focus will be on securing as many points as they can in between now and the end of the season with the hope of delivering Champions League football back to Old Trafford next year .
Despite a congested fixture list attracting the bulk of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's attention across the next four weeks , there ’ s little doubt both he and his staff will still have one eye on the up-and-coming transfer window as the Norwegian looks to bolster his squad ahead of the next campaign .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ strengthen in the next window will be his team 's attack .
The Reds have actually been one of the better attacking sides in the league this season , ranking inside the top six for goals scored , Expected Goals ( xG ) and shots attempted , however , sometimes their chance-creating actions have been a little too one-dimensional .
As we can see in the above graphic provided by Twenty3 , United have built 41 % of all their attacks down their left this season .
This average is noticeably high than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 34 % down the right .
Whilst it 's not unusual to see such a low amount of attacks coming through the middle given that this is often the most congested area of the pitch , you would hope to see more balance between the two flanks .
The consequence of the above is that a high proportion of United ’ s shots will often come from the left of the penalty area , with noticeably fewer coming from the right .
This tendency to build down the left is understandable given that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Anthony Martial on that side of his attack this season , and both are amongst the best forwards in the division .
Meanwhile , United ’ s right side has predominantly been occupied by Daniel James who remains an exciting prospect , but perhaps is n't yet at the level where he could n't be considered amongst the league ’ s best .

His number one target remains Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho and it ’ s easy to see why .
The 20-year-old is a ruthless speedster possessing bags of skill and ability .
Although he often features on the left , he is just as proficient on the right .
In fact , this season he has registered a combined 15 goals and assists from playing on the right alone .
It ’ s been reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ambitions to one day return to England and play in the Premier League .
He was left deflated again this week after he and his Dortmund team-mates were forced to watch rivals Bayern Munich secure another Bundesliga title .
This summer may represent the best time for United to make a move for the 20-year-old .
Should they manage to get a deal secured , then he will be sure to add more balance to United ’ s attack ahead of next season .

This tendency to build down the left is understandable given that Solskajer has predominantly utilised Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial on that side of his attack this season, and both are amongst the best forwards in the division.

The resulting problem of this lopsided forward line is that attacking play can become a little bit too predictable and therefore easier for opponents to set up to defend against.
It’s likely for this reason that Solskjaer has made purchasing a new right-sided attacker so crucial in the next transfer window.
His number one target remains Borussia Dortmund attacker Jadon Sancho and it’s easy to see why. The 20-year-old is a ruthless speedster possessing bags of skill and ability.

It’s been reported for some time now that Sancho has ambitions to one day return to England and play in the Premier League. He was left deflated again this week after he and his Dortmund team-mates were forced to watch rivals Bayern Munich secure another Bundesliga title.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-19--Man City sent UEFA appeal warning by former Brazilian striker Ronaldo

Former Brazil striker Ronaldo says the 'rules are there to be respected ' when asked about Manchester City 's two-year ban from UEFA competition .
City were banned from Europe and handed a fine by UEFA for 'serious breaches ' of Financial Fair Play regulations .
The club have always maintained their innocence and had their appeal heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport earlier this month .
If the ban is upheld , City could face the prospect of losing their best players if they were to leave in search of Champions League football .
Manager Pep Guardiola @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the club in their appeal , is out of contract next summer and City 's chances of keeping him for longer could hinge on the result of their appeal .
Guardiola 's future was put to legendary striker Ronaldo , who was speaking at a Santander Champions League event in Spain , when the former Real Madrid forward made his warning to the club .
“ Who am I to know what Pep ’ s future will be ? ''
Ronaldo said .
`` But the rules are there to be respected - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about that . ''
Ronaldo was also asked about City 's Champions League last-16 tie against Real Madrid , with the Blues holding a 2-1 lead from the first leg at the Bernabeu .
In what could be seen as another warning to City , Ronaldo explained how Real are not out of the tie just yet .
He said : “ For now , City have a commitment with Real Madrid – it will be a very tough match .
Nothing yet has been decided , of course .
I think the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a fantastic game .

Former Brazil striker Ronaldo says the 'rules are there to be respected' when asked about Manchester City's two-year ban from UEFA competition.
City were banned from Europe and handed a fine by UEFA for 'serious breaches' of Financial Fair Play regulations. The club have always maintained their innocence and had their appeal heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport earlier this month.
If the ban is upheld, City could face the prospect of losing their best players if they were to leave in search of Champions League football. Manager Pep Guardiola, who has always said he trusts the club in their appeal, is out of contract next summer and City's chances of keeping him for longer could hinge on the result of their appeal.
Guardiola's future was put to legendary striker Ronaldo, who was speaking at a Santander Champions League event in Spain, when the former Real Madrid forward made his warning to the club.

“Who am I to know what Pep’s future will be?" Ronaldo said.
"But the rules are there to be respected - that’s all I can say about that."
Ronaldo was also asked about City's Champions League last-16 tie against Real Madrid, with the Blues holding a 2-1 lead from the first leg at the Bernabeu.
In what could be seen as another warning to City, Ronaldo explained how Real are not out of the tie just yet.
He said: “For now, City have a commitment with Real Madrid – it will be a very tough match. Nothing yet has been decided, of course. I think the match is still open. It will be a fantastic game.”


themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-19--Martin Lewis' urgent TUI refund advice for millions of holidaymakers

Earlier this year , the UK ’ s biggest tour operator TUI took the decision to cancel all trips up to and including July 10 .
TUI had hoped that it would be able to restart travel on July 1 , but this was unfortunately not possible .
Flight and accommodation cancellations have left many Brits unable to go on the summer holidays they had planned - forcing many to decide whether they want to reschedule their trip or ask for a cash refund .
However , some TUI customers have been struggling with TUI 's refund process , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stepped in .
The Mirror reports that one woman who spoke to Martin on This Morning said she had booked a September holiday with TUI and had an email from them cancelling it on the 13th May .
She was told to wait for a refund voucher and on Monday this week was sent the voucher and told to apply for either a replacement holiday or a cash refund .
But when she went to the online refund form it did n't work .
She told Martin : `` You put the booking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead person , but it wo n't let you input a date and it wo n't let you go any further . ''
Martin promised to look into this for her and on his Martin Lewis Show on ITV he reported back to his fans .
He explained that the problem seems to be affecting customers who booked holidays in stores due to an old computer system .
He said : `` I asked people on social media what experience they had and it was really split .
`` Some people said it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and some people said it was a nightmare .
`` I 've been talking to TUI and it seems what has happened is this .
`` On their computerised system if you booked online it 's pretty simple and it should work quite simply .
`` But if you paid in store they 've tried to use a legacy system and transfer that data into the online system because the stores have closed and they 've had some problems with that .
`` If addresses were put in the wrong order , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that 's difficult , so you have to give them some compassion for that because they 've done it very quickly . ''
Martin has advised people having problems to call customer services and that the best time to call is in the afternoon .
Earlier this month TUI delayed the date it will restart holidays for Brits due to the ongoing travel restrictions .

A spokeswoman for TUI previously added : `` We are constantly monitoring the situation and will start taking people on holiday again as soon as we are able to do so .
`` At this point in time , nobody can accurately predict when that will be , so for the time being we will keep a close eye on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adapt timings in line with the latest global travel advice . ''

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-19--Pundits make their Tottenham vs Manchester United predictions

After a three-month wait , Manchester United are back in Premier League action tonight ( Friday ) .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ’ s men make the long trip down to North London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in their first game .
It is a match that could have a big say in the makeup of the top four come the end of the season .
United currently sit in fifth place in the Premier League table , three points behind Chelsea in fourth .
The Red Devils know that a win would take them above the Blues in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Tottenham are three positions and four points behind United in the table but will be able to close the gap with a win .
United came out on top in the reverse fixture back in December with a Marcus Rashford brace giving them a 2-1 win .
Here is what the pundits think the outcome of the match will be this time around .
“ Spurs drew with Burnley last time out and find themselves in eighth place , four points adrift of fifth-placed United and seven behind Chelsea in fourth , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their top-four chances .
“ They will have been buoyed by the return to fitness of their main man Harry Kane although they will certainly miss the suspended Dele Alli .
“ United fans are likely to be licking their lips at the prospect of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes starting together for the first time in what could become a midfield partnership to compare with any other in world football .
They will also be delighted to see Marcus Rashford back and fit again .
“ Manchester United ’ s form was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They went five games unbeaten in the league , including wins over Chelsea and Manchester City whereas Spurs seemed to be going in the opposite direction .

“ Earlier in the season , he was having to mix and match in midfield but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ play alongside Bruno Fernandes and they are both players of real quality .
United were doing well without Pogba but , if he is anywhere near his best form , he is going to enhance that team further .

“ They are both fighting for the same prize , but it wo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a cracker .

“Spurs drew with Burnley last time out and find themselves in eighth place, four points adrift of fifth-placed United and seven behind Chelsea in fourth, so a win is absolutely vital to their top-four chances.
“They will have been buoyed by the return to fitness of their main man Harry Kane although they will certainly miss the suspended Dele Alli.
“United fans are likely to be licking their lips at the prospect of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes starting together for the first time in what could become a midfield partnership to compare with any other in world football. They will also be delighted to see Marcus Rashford back and fit again.
“Manchester United’s form was improving drastically before the Premier League break. They went five games unbeaten in the league, including wins over Chelsea and Manchester City whereas Spurs seemed to be going in the opposite direction. “Assuming that both teams pick up where they left off, I fancy United to secure a solid away win.”
Prediction: Manchester United win
Mark Lawrenson, BBC
“It is going to be interesting to see how Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer puts his team together now he has players back fit.
“Earlier in the season, he was having to mix and match in midfield but now he has Paul Pogba back to play alongside Bruno Fernandes and they are both players of real quality.

“They are both fighting for the same prize, but it won't feel like it.”
Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Manchester United
Charlie Nicholas, Sky Sports
“It is a cracker. This always falls into the category of a big game, especially with Jose Mourinho facing his old club once again. Everybody is jumping on the Manchester United bandwagon with the potential link-up of Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. They are waiting for United to come to life.
“I think Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has done a great job considering the pressure he was under, but they are no closer to the top two, and I don't see them making the top four.
“Tottenham needed a rest as they were in meltdown. I look at Harry Kane who will be back for them, and that is a huge boost. That being said, Jose will not know what his best defence is but I imagine he will have been working hard on it - there is no Dele Alli for Tottenham too.
“A lack of fans will take an edge off it for the players. It will be 30 minutes or so that is needed to get going for these two, but I cannot separate them.”
Prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Manchester United

Stones’ absence a concern for defender
City boss Pep Guardiola named a 20-man squad to take on Arsenal, but one man was notable by his absence.
England international John Stones did not even make the subs’ bench, even though the number of players allowed has increased from seven to nine.
And that has to be a concern, says MEN Sport’s Stuart Brennan.
“There could be an innocent explanation, such as fitness issues after a difficult three-month lay-off, but if there is one, no-one was offering it up as a reason for Stones’ absence,” he writes.
Youngster Eric Garcia has moved ahead of him in the pecking order and, while that may only be a temporary state of affairs, the Spaniard clearly has Guardiola’s confidence.
Even though Garcia is expected to miss Monday’s game with Burnley after being involved in a sickening collision against Arsenal, Nicolas Otamendi and Fernandinho are likely to step in, and not Stones.

Foden confident over game time
Phil Foden produced an impressive 25-minute cameo in Wednesday’s 3-0 win against Arsenal, scoring the final goal.
And the City starlet believes he will get more chances which will land him an England place before the season finishes.
It was Foden’s first game since England boss Gareth Southgate underlined his need to play more regularly for his club if he is to get that call to the senior national squad.
“You could see there was a lot of changes and I think that’s going to be the way forward for the next couple of games,” Foden said.
