Good evening, Manchester United fans. Here are your evening headlines for Tuesday, August 4.
Smalling ‘gutted’ after Roma loan ends
Chris Smalling has returned to Manchester following the conclusion of his season-long loan at Roma, and has expressed his disappointment at not being able to contribute to the rest of the Italian club’s Europa League campaign.
The centre-back made 30 Serie A appearances for the Giallorossi and played in both legs of their round of 32 victory over Gent.
However, following Roma’s failure to reach an agreement with Manchester United over a permanent deal or loan extension before the deadline to name their squad for the remainder of the European competition, Smalling has been forced to say goodbye.
"I’m gutted that I can’t finish what we started this season,” the former Fulham man wrote on Twitter.
“To experience the love shown to me in such a short time was extra special and it will not be forgotten.
Vote for your United player of the season here:
"I want to thank and wish all the players and staff the best of luck against Sevilla. DAJE ROMA!"
Roma are due to resume their Europa League campaign on Thursday with a one-off match against Sevilla in Duisburg, following the postponement of their original first-leg tie back in March.
United unveil 2020/21 home shirt
With less than six weeks to go until the start of the 2020/21 Premier League season, Manchester United have unveiled the home kit their players will be wearing for the upcoming campaign.
United and Adidas have revealed the red home shirt, which the manufacturer says features "a design reminiscent of the rippled threads on the back side of the badge".
“Taking influence from the intricacies of the yarn-stitched application onto the shirt, a fine graphic print provides a unique pattern and detailing onto a colour-block background,” Adidas explains.
“The name of the club is also proudly engineered into the print, visible through the use of different red tones.
The first promotional photos to accompany the release feature a number of the club’s first-teamers, including Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Daniel James, Scott McTominay and Brandon Williams.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team will give the kit its first outing in the Europa League match against LASK this week.
The club signed a 10-year kit deal with adidas in 2015, with their players having previously worn Nike kits for more than a decade.
United defensive duo will miss LASK clash
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed two members of his Manchester United squad will miss the Europa League meeting with LASK and the remainder of the club’s European campaign.
However, Luke Shaw and Axel Tuanzebe are both expected to be ready for the start of the 2020/21 domestic season, with Solskjaer suggesting the defenders are on course for September returns.
"Axel started to get niggles early on when we restarted and he had to have an op in his foot. He'll be back early September,” the United boss said ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford, into which his team is carrying a 5-0 lead.
“Luke sustained an injury against Southampton and he'll be ready again early September, they should both be ready when the league starts.”
Despite holding a five-goal advantage from the first leg, Solskjaer is expected to name a similar side to the one which won in Austria, with Jesse Lingard a confirmed starter after coming off the bench to score in the league finale against Leicester City.
Barring an unthinkable result, United will go on to play FC Copenhagen or Istanbul Basaksehirspor in the quarter-finals of the Europa League as they aim to win the competition for the second time in four years.

The Reds' interest in Sancho is long-standing and while MEN Sport understands no official bid has yet been submitted for the Borussia Dortmund star, he is expected to complete a club-record move to Old Trafford.
The Bundesliga club have set a deadline of August 10 for any transfer to take place, but United are relaxed about their position – they believe Dortmund are using transfer market scare tactics in order to rush through the deal.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is eager to strengthen his squad after qualification for next season’s Champions League was confirmed of the final day of the Premier League campaign.
And a move for Sancho, fresh from a season in which he scored 16 goals and claimed 17 assists in 32 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund, is very much a statement of intent.
Here is the latest on Jadon Sancho to Manchester United .
MEN: Sanchez departure key to Sancho deal
Inter Milan are close to completing the permanent signing of Alexis Sanchez, which will pave the way for United to seal their move for Sancho.
Sanchez is on the verge of leaving Old Trafford two-and-a-half years on from his arrival from Arsenal. He has spent the 2019/20 campaign on loan with Inter, who will make that switch permanent without paying United a fee.
The departure of Sanchez will get the Chilean’s hefty £400,000-a-week salary off the wage bill at Old Trafford and give United added financial flexibility in their pursuit of Sancho.
Senior United sources have told MEN Sport that Solskjaer wanted to offload Sanchez last year, but the Norwegian still gave the Chilean an opportunity in the first team towards the end of the 2018/19 campaign before sanctioning his loan to Inter last summer.
MEN: No.7 shirt will be open for Sancho
Manchester United's decision to let Alexis Sanchez leave for Inter Milan will not only prove financially beneficial in their pursuit of Sancho. It will also ensure the club's No.7 shirt is vacant for the England international.
Sancho has that squad number at Dortmund and is expected to be offered it if, but more likely when, he completes his move to United.
The No.7 shirt is iconic at Old Trafford with several greats, such as George Best, Eric Cantona and David Beckham, creating and adding to its illustrious history over the years.
However, Sanchez failed to perform wearing the shirt while previous incumbents, such as Memphis Depay, Angel Di Maria, Antonio Valencia, and Michael Owen, also struggled to live up to its reputation.

MEN opinion: United's most likely team with Sancho in it
The signing of Sancho would give Solskjaer a number of different tactical and formation options in attack, so how would Manchester United line up with the England international in their ranks?
Solskjaer settled on a 4-2-3-1 shape down the final stretch of the 2019/20 Premier League season and it seems likely the Norwegian would stick with that system following the addition of Sancho.
The 20-year-old would replace Mason Greenwood as a regular started on the right side with Anthony Martial the central striker and Marcus Rashford on the left wing.
Sancho’s arrival will make rotation in the attacking positions possible, as Solskjaer was reluctant to change his team in the final games of the Premier League season due to a lack of depth in his squad.
Line up: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Matic, Pogba, Fernandes; Sancho, Rashford, Martial

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-04--Three things spotted in Man United training as Pogba dazzles

Manchester United will confirm their place in the last eight of the Europa League against LASK at Old Trafford on Wednesday .
United take a commanding lead into the last-16 second-leg match following a 5-0 win in Austria thanks to goals from Odion Ighalo , Daniel James , Juan Mata , Mason Greenwood and Andreas Pereira .
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer addressed the media on Tuesday before leading a training session with the squad at Carrington .
Here are three things we spotted from training ahead of tomorrow 's game .
United were boosted by the return of Paul Pogba following @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after he missed the first leg and the majority of the season through injury .
The Frenchman has developed a good understanding with January signing Bruno Fernandes since returning to the side and has looked comfortable alongside Nemanja Matic in the midfield pivot .
Pogba started to show signs of fatigue during the run-in but looked sharp during the training session .
The midfielder picked out Fernandes following a cheeky lob by Odion Ighalo before wrong footing Victor Lindelof with a smart back heel .
Solskjaer is likely to leave Pogba on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the squad at all but he expect him to return for the quarter-final and remainder of the tournament .
Vote for your United player of the season here : Solskjaer hinted he could name a similar team to the side that won so comfortably in Austria .
The United boss also confirmed Jesse Lingard would be involved from the off .
He said : `` Jesse will be starting tomorrow , but the team won ’ t be too different from LASK in March . ''
That means Eric Bailly could return to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ games against West Ham and Leicester following a nasty collision with Harry Maguire in the FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea .
The Ivorian was transported to hospital following the clash of heads but thankfully was given the all clear .
Bailly did n't play in United 's final two league games following that injury but is well over it now and a strong contender to feature at Old Trafford .
There can be no doubt Solskjaer has reinvigorated a squad which looked disillusioned with life under Jose Mourinho .
United 's excellent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ impending arrival of Jadon Sancho has fans excited and understandably so .
Supporters noticed a significant improvement in the dressing room atmosphere in recent months which can only be viewed as a positive .
Once again , the players looked in great spirits : Anthony Martial shared a laugh with Fred after a wayward pass in the rondo and youngsters Mason Greenwood , Tahith Chong and Brandon Williams also got in on the action .
The rondo on show was of a much higher standard than this one from the 2018 pre-season tour @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United contract that will keep him at the club until 2024 .
Williams has played 33 times for United this season .

Pogba started to show signs of fatigue during the run-in but looked sharp during the training session.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-05--What Virgin Atlantic filing for bankruptcy means for Manchester travellers

The news that Virgin Atlantic has filed for bankruptcy has left both passengers and staff worrying about what happens next .
After a string of travel companies suffered devastating blows as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic , the announcement has left many unsettled .
Bosses at the airline say that without a restructuring and injection of new cash , it is projected that the airline ’ s cash flow would drop to “ critical levels ” by the middle of next month and it will “ run out of money altogether ” by the week beginning September 28 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ airline announced it had secured funding to survive for another 18 months , along with a restructure plan .
Virgin Atlantic is a big name at Manchester Airport , offering long haul flights and their own dedicated lounge at Terminal 2 .
So what does this latest announcement mean for Manchester travellers ?
The airline has been hit hard by the pandemic .
Specialising in transatlantic travel between the US and the UK , Trump 's travel ban hit the service hard .
And there has been little call for other long-haul flights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carribbean .
So during what would have been peak season in terms of bookings and income as people jet off on their summer holidays , they have instead been handing out refunds .
Very few passengers flights have been operating , with most scheduled trips being used for freight .
As a result , Virgin Atlantic has already closed its base at Gatwick Airport and cut thousands from their workforce as a result of the pandemic .
Meanwhile Virgin Australia , announced on Wednesday it would axe 3,000 jobs - around a third @ @ @ @ @ @ @ voluntary administration under the new ownership of US investment company Bain Capital .
The transformation will also involve the removal of all ATR , Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft from the fleet .
It will also mark the end of the budget Tigerair brand .
Virgin Atlantic has already said it does n't expect demand for air travel to return to pre-coronavirus pandemic levels until at least 2023 .
The airline has now said in court they could run out of money by the end of September if creditors do not approve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have they gone bankrupt ?
Filing for bankruptcy in the US was a way of protecting the company 's assets in the country while the company undergoes a restructure as part of the bailout .
A spokeswoman for Virgin Atlantic said the Chapter 15 bankruptcy filing was part of a court process in the UK to carry out the restructuring plan announced last month .
The process was supported by a majority of the airline ’ s creditors , and the company hoped to emerge from the process in September , she said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Court in London , David Allison QC , for Virgin Atlantic said : “ The group ’ s financial position has been severely affected by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic , which has caused unprecedented disruption to the global aviation industry .
“ Passenger demand has plummeted to a level that would , until recently , have been unthinkable.

The news that Virgin Atlantic has filed for bankruptcy protection in the US as part of a restructuring process has left both passengers and staff worrying about what happens next.
After a string of travel companies suffered devastating blows as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the announcement has left many unsettled.
Bosses at the airline say that without a restructuring and injection of new cash, it is projected that the airline’s cash flow would drop to “critical levels” by the middle of next month and it will “run out of money altogether” by the week beginning September 28.
It comes a month after the airline announced it had secured funding to survive for another 18 months, along with a restructure plan.
Virgin Atlantic is a big name at Manchester Airport, offering long haul flights and their own dedicated lounge at Terminal 2.
So what does this latest announcement mean for Manchester travellers?
What has happened?
The airline has been hit hard by the pandemic. Specialising in transatlantic travel between the US and the UK, Trump's travel ban hit the service hard. And there has been little call for other long-haul flights to the likes of Asia and the Carribbean.
So during what would have been peak season in terms of bookings and income as people jet off on their summer holidays, they have instead been handing out refunds.
Very few passengers flights have been operating, with most scheduled trips being used for freight.
As a result, Virgin Atlantic has already closed its base at Gatwick Airport and cut thousands from their workforce as a result of the pandemic.
Meanwhile Virgin Australia, announced on Wednesday it would axe 3,000 jobs - around a third of its workforce - as it exits voluntary administration under the new ownership of US investment company Bain Capital.
The transformation will also involve the removal of all ATR, Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 aircraft from the fleet. It will also mark the end of the budget Tigerair brand.
Virgin Atlantic has already said it doesn't expect demand for air travel to return to pre-coronavirus pandemic levels until at least 2023.
The airline has now said in court they could run out of money by the end of September if creditors do not approve a £1.2 billion rescue deal.
However the airline has insisted this is not a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing - it is a filing which supports the solvent recapitalisation of the airline.
What happened in court?
A spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic said the Chapter 15 bankruptcy filing was part of a court process in the UK to carry out the restructuring plan announced last month.
“Virgin Atlantic attended court as part of a solvent recapitalisation process under 26(A) of the UK Companies Act 2006. That process is proceeding with the support of the majority of our creditors.
“Following the UK hearing, ancillary proceedings in support of the solvent recapitalisation were also filed in the US under their Chapter 15 process. These ancillary US proceedings have been commenced under provisions that allow US courts to recognise foreign restructuring processes.
“In the case of Virgin Atlantic, the process we have asked to be recognised is a solvent restructuring of an English company under Part 26A of the English Companies Act 2006.”
The process was supported by a majority of the airline’s creditors, and the company hoped to emerge from the process in September, they added.
In written submissions to the High Court in London, David Allison QC, for Virgin Atlantic said: “The group’s financial position has been severely affected by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused unprecedented disruption to the global aviation industry.
“Passenger demand has plummeted to a level that would, until recently, have been unthinkable.”
He said: “As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the group is now undergoing a liquidity crisis.
“Absent a restructuring and an injection of new money, it is projected that the group’s cash flow would drop to a critical level by the week commencing 21 September 2020.”
Mr Allison said this would trigger the rights of some creditors to “commence an enforcement process” over Virgin Atlantic’s landing slots at Heathrow Airport, adding that if the slots were removed it would:"....ultimately destroy the group’s business”.
He added: “It is projected that the group would run out of money altogether during the week commencing 28 September 2020.”

Mr Allison went on to say that without a “solvent recapitalisation”, including an injection of new money, Virgin Atlantic’s directors would have “no choice” but to place the company into administration in mid-September 2020 in order to wind down the business and sell any assets, where possible.
He said: “This would result in a poor outcome for the company’s creditors – especially its unsecured creditors – since the value of the company’s assets and business would likely be subject to a significant reduction in the event of a formal insolvency proceeding.
“Such an outcome would be particularly unfortunate because the group’s business is fundamentally sound.
“Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the group was not in any difficulty at all. The group remains one of the leading airlines in the world and is an icon of British business and aviation.
“The problems that the group now faces are not of its own making but are the result of a global health disaster.”
In written submissions, the barrister said that, “to prevent a collapse into administration”, Virgin Atlantic’s restructuring plan needs to be sanctioned at the beginning of September 2020.
The proposal needs to secure approval from creditors under a court-sanction process.
Virgin Atlantic has now obtained an order from the Court to convene meetings of affected creditors to vote on the Restructuring Plan on 25 August.
Will they still fly from Manchester?
There is nothing to indicate they will close their Manchester Airport hub. You can still book flights to New York, Boston, Atlanta, Orlando, LA and Las Vegas in the US and Barbados in the Carribbean - albeit on a limited schedule. The airline is also offering flexible booking conditions, meaning you can change if you need to.
They are also still planning to add a new route to Delhi on October 26 flying direct from Manchester.
What if you have a future booking?
The airline's lawyers say it is “a fundamentally sound business model which was not in any problems at all before the Covid-19 pandemic”, but needs restructuring and money to secure its future.
They seem confident in their future, but as with all other airlines, if you've booked on a credit card or flying with them as part of a package your money is protected should the worst happen and they go under.
And if they do end up cancelling your future booking, you'll be entitled to a full refund. Just be aware it might take a bit longer than the standard seven-day period due to the sheer amount of refunds that are being processed.
What if I need a refund?
The bankruptcy protection will have no impact on the ability to claim a refund. The company is still operating and anyone who is eligible for a refund should get one.
If the company collapses, protection from card providers, tour operators and ATOL will still be in place where applicable.
What about Flying Club members?
Virgin Atlantic say that Flying Club members can continue to earn and redeem their miles as usual.
Should I book a Virgin Atlantic flight?
While the airline is in difficulty, booking a flight with them doesn't seem any more risky than booking with any other airline at the moment.
Whether flights and holidays go ahead is dependent on restrictions made by individual governments and wherever you fly or whoever you fly with, during the ongoing pandemic, there is a certain degree of risk involved.
In terms of the bankruptcy announcement, it shouldn't have a direct impact on their ability to provide a service - the filing of Chapter 15 and the huge bailout deal is about protecting the company rather than dissolving it.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-08-05--Smoking will be banned in new outdoor seating areas in Manchester

Smoking will be banned at all temporary outdoor seating areas brought in by Manchester businesses emerging from the coronavirus lockdown .
‘ Pavement licences ’ for outdoor drinking and dining had been approved by Manchester council in the weeks leading up to the reopening of the hospitality sector on July 4 .
New legislation recently passed by the government now calls for bars and restaurants to provide both smoking and non-smoking areas outside their premises .
But the city council will go one step further by making all outdoor areas smoke-free so as to not ‘ sleepwalk from one health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Akbar , executive member for neighbourhoods , said : “ Smoking is not only terrible for our health but is also an unpleasant thing for bystanders to endure .
“ I am sure that after months inside the last thing people want is a face full of smoke when trying to enjoy a meal or drink . ''
Manchester has one of the worst rates for lung cancer and cardiovascular disease registrations in the UK , while mortality rates from both illnesses amongst men under 75 is also high .
Between 2017 and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and over who smoked fell from 22 per cent to 18 per cent - but this is still higher than the national average of 13 per cent .

Smoking will be banned at all temporary outdoor seating areas brought in by Manchester businesses emerging from the coronavirus lockdown.
‘Pavement licences’ for outdoor drinking and dining had been approved by Manchester council in the weeks leading up to the reopening of the hospitality sector on July 4.
New legislation recently passed by the government now calls for bars and restaurants to provide both smoking and non-smoking areas outside their premises.
But the city council will go one step further by making all outdoor areas smoke-free so as to not ‘sleepwalk from one health crisis to another'.
Councillor Rabnawaz Akbar, executive member for neighbourhoods, said: “Smoking is not only terrible for our health but is also an unpleasant thing for bystanders to endure.
“I am sure that after months inside the last thing people want is a face full of smoke when trying to enjoy a meal or drink."
Manchester has one of the worst rates for lung cancer and cardiovascular disease registrations in the UK, while mortality rates from both illnesses amongst men under 75 is also high.
Between 2017 and 2019 the number of people aged 18 and over who smoked fell from 22 per cent to 18 per cent - but this is still higher than the national average of 13 per cent.
With 6,000 smoking-related hospital admissions per year, the council says there is still much more that can be done to reduce the number of smokers in the city.

Coun Akbar added: “The introduction of outside seating for the hospitality sector has been a positive step over the past few weeks.
“We are seeing the public enjoy a degree of normality, and we are also seeing our businesses pick up following the devastating impact of the lockdown.
“However, we have not endured one health crisis to sleepwalk into another.
“We know that in Manchester there are still too many people smoking and we want to play our part to ensure that the city is a place where smoking is not a cultural norm.”
But the move has angered campaigners from the smokers' group Forest, who accused the council of ignoring 'the spirit' of the government legislation passed in July.
Simon Clark, director of Forest, said: "The council has shamefully used the coronavirus crisis to force its anti-smoking agenda on local businesses and local people.
"The industry is facing a huge challenge and this could discourage a lot of smokers from returning after lockdown.
"Every business is different which is why proprietors should be allowed to choose their own policy on smoking based on customer demand."
He added: "There is no evidence that smoking in the open air is a threat to non-smokers so this is not even a public health issue.
"Smokers must be considerate to those around them but non-smokers should also be tolerant of those who wish to light up outside with a drink."
Under tighter Covid-19 restrictions imposed in Greater Manchester people will still be able to go to pubs and restaurants with members of their households.
But no more than six people - unless the group includes only people from two households - are allowed to meet in public spaces.
Social distancing still needs to be observed amongst groups who do not live with each other - unless they are in a support bubble.
