themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-24--Anthony Martial has finally got the message from Manchester United coaches

The French connection has reconnected .
Paul Pogba was threatening to overshadow his compatriot until Anthony Martial gathered Marcus Rashford 's slide-rule pass and measured an impudent dink for his first career hat-trick .
It marked the first Premier League trio by a United player since Robin van Persie secured their 20th title in April 2013 .
Martial was instructed to 'get in the box ' by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in a dormant performance at Tottenham and this was Martial at his most clinical .
He has now joined Rashford on 19 goals for the season .
The understanding between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third goals against a forlorn Sheffield United was as impressive as it was simple ; more classy glimpses of their burgeoning understanding .
Martial is not synonymous with such penalty-box finishing but is making good on his pre-season demand that he reclaim the number nine .
Martial resisted regression after he selflessly squared the ball to Rashford when bearing down on Dean Henderson 's stand-in Simon Moore at 1-0 .
A goal seemed such a fait accompli Chris Wilder turned away in despair but Sheffield United were briefly reprieved .
Martial atoned with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Martial had equalled his season-best tally of 17 with the first and then beat it from another Aaron Wan-Bissaka assist .
Martial is destined to break the 20-goal barrier that is mandatory for an elite number nine and could join the United goalscoring centurions within a year .
He is approaching half a decade at the club and still only 24 , with more goals for the club than Stuart Pearson and Dwight Yorke .
There is still no greater asset to United than when Pogba is this slick and it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are currently deprived of an audience .
Pogba was in Maximus mode from Gladiator ; asking the global audience if they were not entertained .
Solskjaer mentioned in his programme Pogba is the best judge of how the United squad has developed in eight months following his return , and the change in midfield partnership from Spurs worked to immense effect .
Nemanja Matic , Pogba and Bruno Fernandes passed with the fluency of five-a-side specialists and were let down by an errant attempt by Rashford .
Pogba and Rashford were billed as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though only Pogba has credibly attained that status .
He is in the midst of retaining it now his ankle has been repaired and it is a pity for United matchgoers they can not appreciate Pogba in the flesh before Mino Raiola unfolds the tents for his annual summer circus .
United were more fluid with a game under their belt and Pogba nearing his optimum .
They are one of two teams to have scored three against Sheffield United in the league this season and have done so in both games .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 268 days - the date Fred last did not start in the Premier League .
His run of 23 successive selections was ended more by Solskjaer 's mismanagement of him at Tottenham than by United 's most talented asset , though Matic again reiterated he is the most suitable supplement for Pogba and Fernandes in the midfield trident .
`` Glad to be back ? ''
the affable steward asked upon entry at Old Trafford .
The stadium has been neglected since the quadrants were installed in 2006 but was resplendent for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 110-year timeline .
40,000 fans from 193 countries sent in images of themselves that were plastered across Ends Stretford and Scoreboard , as well as the north stand , and a homage to the late Tony Dunne was visible .
The compere Alan Keegan invited 'the Theatre of Dreams to welcome Manchester United ' in a scene that belonged to the Twilight Zone .
Ed Woodward was among the United dignitaries to applaud from the directors ' box .
'Football is nothing without fans ' read the banner directly behind the Stretford End @ @ @ @ @ @ @ David de Gea would be treated to reassuring applause for the warm-up and at kick-off .
Players have never sounded so loud amid the quietness .
Typically for a Yorkshire side , Sheffield United were voluble and Wilder could have been heard at Salford Quays .
`` F -- -- -g wake up , eh ? ''
Harry Maguire screamed at Luke Shaw .
De Gea was noticeably louder than at Tottenham .
Solskjaer stayed seated for almost the entire duration on a balmy summer 's night , largely leaving his assistants to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In the era of 'stay alert ' , Sheffield United were the opposite and reeling not just from the surprise hammering by Newcastle but the absence of key personnel in John Egan and Jack O'Connell , as well as Henderson .
Oli McBurnie , once a trialist at United , was the closest to threatening United 's advantage yet missed a header altogether .
Martial connected with both crosses intended for him and Wan-Bissaka , so reluctant to attack in his first months at United a force field seemed to face him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the final third .
The manner of his cross was reminiscent of Antonio Valencia in his pomp .
Martial saved the best until last .

Fernandes made the long-awaited move to United in January and since arriving in the North West has become neighbours with Ireland, living three doors down the street from one another.
Ireland became a fan favourite at the Etihad and was the club's best player for a short while, after coming through the youth ranks at the club, grabbing 13 goals and 13 assists in the 2009/09 season in the creative-midfield role.
According to the 33-year-old, his performances left an impression on Fernandes, as the Portuguese also used to sign him on Football Manager.
“He told me that, as a kid, he had a poster of me,” Ireland told The Athletic. “He said that when he played Football Manager he always signed me.
“I was like, ‘You had me on a poster? And, seriously, you sign me for Football Manager?’ I mean, how weird is that?”
Fernandes has had a big impact since arriving at Old Trafford after his £47million move from Sporting, with four goals and four assists in his opening 10 games.
In contrast, Ireland's career has gone steadily down hill since leaving City after struggling with injuries and he failed to make an appearance at his last club - Bolton Wanderers.
Yet he has revealed he nearly made the move to cross-town rivals United when at the height of his powers.
“I was potentially going to United, Spurs or Arsenal,” he added. “I had all that lined up. I stayed out of loyalty to Mark Hughes. He was constantly begging me, on my case. ‘Please, please, please, you’ve got to stay and sign a new contract’.
"I signed the contract, then he got the boot a few months later. I look back now and I’m wondering: why didn’t I jump ship?”

Manchester United are back in Premier League action this evening as they take on Sheffield United in their second game of the league’s restart.
United are well on the way to victory going into the closing stages after a hat-trick from Anthony Martial put them 3-0 up.
During the game, United's players are wearing black armbands in a tribute to former player Tony Dunne who sadly passed away earlier this month.
The full-back made 535 appearances for United, putting him high in the list of players to play at Old Trafford.
The funeral of the Irishman took place on Tuesday, with the cortege passing Old Trafford on the way to Manchester Crematorium.
Both United and Sheffield United players also took part in a minute’s silence before the game to pay tribute to the former player.
Dunne was part of the United European Cup winning team back in 1968, beating Benfica 4-1 in the Wembley final.
Fans also paid their own tributes by leaving flowers outside of the Stadium.

'We don't want our kids to grow up watching this': Boy, 13, stabbed during domestic incident in Salford

A boy of 13 has been stabbed in Salford .
The victim suffered a serious but non life-changing wound to his leg after being attacked in the Rudman Drive area of the Ordsall estate .
It is understood the child was knifed during a domestic incident .
A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of wounding .
The victim was first treated at the scene by paramedics from the North West Ambulance Service .
The suspect remains in custody .
Several police patrols responded to the scene and a large police cordon was put in place with some of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Main routes around the estate were not affected , although a police cordon remained in place both on Rudman Drive and another by Regent Road and Gloucester Street for several hours .
In statement Greater Manchester Police said : `` Police were called at around 11.55am this morning ( Wednesday 24 June 2020 ) to reports of a teenage boy being stabbed in the leg on Rudman Drive in Salford .
`` The boy has been taken to hospital with a serious but non-life-changing leg wound .
`` A 29-year-old man has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assault . ''
Residents of the close-knit estate have been left 'disgusted ' that their young neighbour was attacked .
They say the boy 's mum is 'devastated ' .
One resident , who wished not to be named , described the moment she found out the little boy had been stabbed : `` I heard people screaming .
`` I looked out of the window and the whole estate was out on the street saying there was a young boy that had been stabbed .
`` It 's disgusting .
The person @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here again . ''
Another resident heard the chaos and ran out in the street along with many other neighbours looking to help .
She witnessed the boy 's injuries .
`` I could see his leg , there was such a big gash .
It was like when you butterfly a piece of meat , '' said the neighbour .
`` The boy 's mum came over to me and her head was completely gone .
She kept saying 'he 's dead , he 's dead . '
`` There was someone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ambulance arrived . ''
One of the neighbouring residents , who also wished not to be named , said they feel that incidents like this one give Ordsall a bad reputation .
She said : `` We get a bad reputation , but not everyone here is like this .
It 's usually quite a quiet estate , it 's surprising to hear that it was a kid that was stabbed .
`` It 's not like it happens every day , this is a one-off because of a not-right .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but we do n't want our kids growing up watching this . ''
Last year the Broughton Trust , a Salford-based charity teamed up with a theatre company to stage a hard-hitting play about the consequences of knife crime at city schools .
On June 8th a 19-year-old man was seriously injured following a stabbing in Old Lane , Little Hulton in Salford .
Earlier this month three people were stabbed at an illegal rave in Carrington .
In December the MEN reported a task force set up to tackle violent crime , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ region has received a multi-million pound cash boost from the government .

A boy of 13 has been stabbed in Salford.
The victim suffered a serious but non life-changing wound to his leg after being attacked in the Rudman Drive area of the Ordsall estate.
It is understood the child was knifed during a domestic incident.
A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of wounding.

The victim was first treated at the scene by paramedics from the North West Ambulance Service. The suspect remains in custody.
Several police patrols responded to the scene and a large police cordon was put in place with some of the local roads on the estate closed.

Main routes around the estate were not affected, although a police cordon remained in place both on Rudman Drive and another by Regent Road and Gloucester Street for several hours.
In statement Greater Manchester Police said: "Police were called at around 11.55am this morning (Wednesday 24 June 2020) to reports of a teenage boy being stabbed in the leg on Rudman Drive in Salford.
"The boy has been taken to hospital with a serious but non-life-changing leg wound.
"A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault."

Residents of the close-knit estate have been left 'disgusted' that their young neighbour was attacked. They say the boy's mum is 'devastated'.
One resident, who wished not to be named, described the moment she found out the little boy had been stabbed: "I heard people screaming.
"I looked out of the window and the whole estate was out on the street saying there was a young boy that had been stabbed.
"It's disgusting. The person that did it can't come around here again."
Another resident heard the chaos and ran out in the street along with many other neighbours looking to help. She witnessed the boy's injuries.
"I could see his leg, there was such a big gash. It was like when you butterfly a piece of meat," said the neighbour.
"The boy's mum came over to me and her head was completely gone. She kept saying 'he's dead, he's dead.'
"There was someone there giving him first aid and then the ambulance arrived."
One of the neighbouring residents, who also wished not to be named, said they feel that incidents like this one give Ordsall a bad reputation.
She said: "We get a bad reputation, but not everyone here is like this. It's usually quite a quiet estate, it's surprising to hear that it was a kid that was stabbed.
"It's not like it happens every day, this is a one-off because of a not-right.
"Yes, this estate has problems, but we don't want our kids growing up watching this."
Last year the Broughton Trust, a Salford-based charity teamed up with a theatre company to stage a hard-hitting play about the consequences of knife crime at city schools.
On June 8th a 19-year-old man was seriously injured following a stabbing in Old Lane, Little Hulton in Salford.

Earlier this month three people were stabbed at an illegal rave in Carrington.
In December the MEN reported a task force set up to tackle violent crime, including the use of knives in the region has received a multi-million pound cash boost from the government.
The Home Office announced eighteen police and crime commissioners will receive a share of an extra £35 million to tackle violent crime in their area.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-25--Two more Greater Manchester councils warn they may soon become bankrupt

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent national lockdown have everyone hit hard .
But they ’ ve hit local council budgets in particular .
Just this week it emerged Manchester City Council may have to declare bankruptcy in the autumn if it doesn ’ t get any further funding to respond to the current crisis from central Government .
And the financial picture is bleak across the board in Greater Manchester .
Tameside and Trafford are two of several councils across the UK who now say they will effectively have to declare themselves bankrupt unless the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ councils in the region have bigger estimated shortfalls .
An investigation by the BBC Shared Data Unit and the Local Democracy Reporting Service has revealed that the local authorities face a huge budget deficit as a result of the coronavirus .
The estimated shortfall is forecasted to be as high as £25m in Trafford and £28m in Tameside .
Councils have seen increased costs from supporting vulnerable people , while their income from fees and rates is falling .
The government has already given £12.7m in funding to Trafford council and £13.9m to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
However , it appears this is far short of what will be required .
In response to this investigation , both councils said they may have to issue an S114 notice if further government support is not forthcoming , effectively declaring themselves bankrupt .
Both councils have said they are reviewing whether to hold an emergency budget meeting .
At the start of lockdown , Trafford Council had to borrow a total of £7m over a two week period to “ ease cash flow issues ” .
A total of £150m has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ budget since 2010 , but the authority ’ s investment strategy saw it borrow up to £194 million from government loan schemes in the last three years .
In 2019 alone , the council spent £153m on property purchases and investments to try to generate income .
They were the only councils in Greater Manchester to suggest to the BBC that issuing an S114 notice would be a possibility , despite most other councils also facing significant budget deficits – although Manchester has since said they may have to go down this route @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they could face a shortfall as high as £133m , Salford £42m , Wigan £40m , Stockport £31m , Rochdale £28m , Bury £21m and Oldham £19m .
Bolton Council did not respond to their request , the BBC says .
When looked at in relation to their populations , Manchester also faces the biggest shortfall of £214 per head , compared to £162 per person in Salford , £126 per person in both Rochdale and Tameside , £ !

@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stockport , £105 per person in Trafford , and £81 per person in Oldham .

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent national lockdown have everyone hit hard.
But they’ve hit local council budgets in particular. Just this week it emerged Manchester City Council may have to declare bankruptcy in the autumn if it doesn’t get any further funding to respond to the current crisis from central Government.
And the financial picture is bleak across the board in Greater Manchester.
Tameside and Trafford are two of several councils across the UK who now say they will effectively have to declare themselves bankrupt unless the government provides more coronavirus support – although other councils in the region have bigger estimated shortfalls.
An investigation by the BBC Shared Data Unit and the Local Democracy Reporting Service has revealed that the local authorities face a huge budget deficit as a result of the coronavirus.

In response to this investigation, both councils said they may have to issue an S114 notice if further government support is not forthcoming, effectively declaring themselves bankrupt.
Both councils have said they are reviewing whether to hold an emergency budget meeting.
At the start of lockdown, Trafford Council had to borrow a total of £7m over a two week period to “ease cash flow issues”.
A total of £150m has been wiped from Trafford Council’s budget since 2010, but the authority’s investment strategy saw it borrow up to £194 million from government loan schemes in the last three years.
In 2019 alone, the council spent £153m on property purchases and investments to try to generate income.
They were the only councils in Greater Manchester to suggest to the BBC that issuing an S114 notice would be a possibility, despite most other councils also facing significant budget deficits – although Manchester has since said they may have to go down this route later this year.
Manchester council say they could face a shortfall as high as £133m, Salford £42m, Wigan £40m, Stockport £31m, Rochdale £28m, Bury £21m and Oldham £19m.
Bolton Council did not respond to their request, the BBC says.

It falls to £106 per person in Stockport, £105 per person in Trafford, and £81 per person in Oldham.

Cllr Eamonn O’Brien, leader of Bury Council, said: “What’s becoming clear to everybody in local government, across all political parties, across all types of councils, is that the Government is going to have to put money into the local government system. At this stage, the Government knows – and the Prime Minister knows – the scale of the challenge, and it’s important that we keep up the pressure.
“It’s that ability to draw together the entire borough which local government can do. That’s our range of businesses, our business leaders, our housing providers, our health colleagues, our community and faith groups, our volunteers, our care homes.
"My worry about the Government not giving us what they promised is that we risk losing what has been a key part in the response to COVID.”
England’s Minister for Local Government Simon Clarke MP said: “We’re giving councils an unprecedented package of support, including £3.2 billion non-ringfenced emergency funding, to tackle the pressures they have told us they’re facing.
“This is part of a wider package of support from across government for local communities and businesses – totalling over £27 billion – including grants, business rate relief and for local transport.
“We are working on a comprehensive plan to ensure councils’ financial sustainability over the financial year ahead – we will continue to work closely with them to ensure they are managing their costs and we have a collective understanding of the costs they are facing.”

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-25--Chelsea will struggle to compete with Man City for one specific reason

The transfer window is n't yet technically open , but ahead of Thursday 's contest with Manchester City , Chelsea are demonstrating a clear desire to challenge Liverpool and Pep Guardiola 's men as soon as possible .
The London club have already secured the signature of Hakim Ziyech ahead of next season and recently struck a deal to sign RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner .
Despite those two sizeable investments , Chelsea 's spending looks set to continue , with Kai Havertz mooted as a possible summer arrival .
The Bayer Leverkusen attacker is just 20 years old but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a level above in recent times , notching 11 goals and five assists in the Bundesliga this season while also playing in a variety of different positions .
His acquisition would be a real statement of intent for Frank Lampard , especially considering Leicester 's Ben Chilwell is also linked , but one problem position looks set to remain which is likely to influence the team 's ability to challenge City and Liverpool .

The transfer window isn't yet technically open, but ahead of Thursday's contest with Manchester City, Chelsea are demonstrating a clear desire to challenge Liverpool and Pep Guardiola's men as soon as possible.
The London club have already secured the signature of Hakim Ziyech ahead of next season and recently struck a deal to sign RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner.
Despite those two sizeable investments, Chelsea's spending looks set to continue, with Kai Havertz mooted as a possible summer arrival.
The Bayer Leverkusen attacker is just 20 years old but he's showcased why he's deserving of a level above in recent times, notching 11 goals and five assists in the Bundesliga this season while also playing in a variety of different positions.
His acquisition would be a real statement of intent for Frank Lampard, especially considering Leicester's Ben Chilwell is also linked, but one problem position looks set to remain which is likely to influence the team's ability to challenge City and Liverpool.
Simply, regardless of the outfield stars that move to Stamford Bridge, Kepa Arrizabalaga remains as the club's first-choice goalkeeper.
The Spaniard moved to England two years ago for a record sum of £72m, but he's since performed below average in comparison to Europe's best.
Kepa has faced 71 shots on target in the Premier League this season, saving only 43 of those which leaves him with a save percentage of just 57.7% - the worst in the division.
Those faced from open play are pictured below, with off-target shots greyed out.
For perspective, Alisson Becker's save percentage is 81.4%, and Ederson's is 69%.
Post-shot Expected Goals - which offers an insight into whether a goalkeeper has an above average ability to stop shots - captures Kepa in a negative light.

Regardless of the strength of Chelsea's attack this season and next - if they are willing to persist with deficiencies in goal, they will suffer from sporadic moments and their results will continue to fluctuate more so than a title-winning side can afford.
