themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-05--Neville names difference between Solskjaer and Mourinho on Man United transfers

Gary Neville pointed out how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is steering clear of falling out with the board over their failure to adequately back him in the transfer market after Manchester United were thrashed by Tottenham .
United had secured only one signing going into deadline day and , although they are set to announce deals for Alex Telles and Edinson Cavani on Monday , the club looks almost certain to fail to land Solskjaer 's No.1 target Jadon Sancho , whom they have chased all summer .
Just over two years ago Jose Mourinho wanted the club to prioritise a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in that regard , after the club had signed Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof in successive previous summers .
That set the tone for a dismal start to the 2018-19 campaign and Solskjaer was waiting in the wings to take over when Mourinho was jettisoned the week before Christmas .
`` If you remember the last manager Man United had here , '' Neville recalled .
`` He fell out with the club over Jerome Boateng , Toby Alderweireld , and another centre-back that I can ’ t remember .
`` The club @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jose decided to take the board on .
Ole ’ s not doing that , he ’ s playing it by the book .
Will it help him ?
Let ’ s see . ''
Neville also accused United of repeating the same mistakes in the transfer market , having not implemented a proper recruitment strategy under any of their managers post-Sir Alex Ferguson .
He said : “ I think for me , it ’ s almost a repetitive cycle that we ’ ve seen .
With Louis van Gaal , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ won , then they pulled out on him when he was building half a squad .
Decent team , not great , but decent , he was half on his way to getting a team that was building some confidence .
`` With Jose Mourinho , they backed out of him in that transfer window a couple of seasons ago after giving him a contract , and he wanted that extra support to go and do it .
`` I feel as if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did achieve the maximum with these players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way he was going to get to Liverpool or City . ''
He added : `` I thought Jose was playing a game when he said it was an unbelievable achievement to finish second with that squad , but I think he was right .
`` It was good last season to finish third .
They were on the shoulder of Liverpool and City , a long way off the shoulder , but they were on the shoulder and they needed to make sure they ’ d get closer .
`` City spent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jota and Thiago , they strengthened and pulled away psychologically before the season even started .
`` It ’ s the psychological damage of United not bringing the players in that is also hampering the current players ’ thoughts .
`` We as a media , we focus on it , why wouldn ’ t we ?
The club ’ s job is to bring a title-winning team here .
Manchester United have to win a title and they can ’ t drop those standards . ''

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-04--Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suffers 'worst ever day' as Manchester United manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described Manchester United 's 6-1 thumping as his 'worst day ever ' as a manager .
Ten-man United trailed Spurs 4-1 at half-time at Old Trafford having taken the lead in the second minute through Bruno Fernandes .
Serge Aurier and Harry Kane struck in the second-half to record the joint-worst defeat United have suffered in the Premier League era .
`` Yeah , you can say that , '' Solskjaer said when asked if it was his lowest ebb connected with the club .
`` It 's at home , it 's a team that we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the potential in it and we know how good they can be .
`` But today all our mistakes came almost like Christmas , everything came at once .
Too many mistakes against a good team and you 'll be punished .
`` It 's very embarrassing and hurt all the players and hurt me .
As a manager , it 's my worst day ever .
I hold my hand up and have to be responsible for this .
`` I lost 5-0 as a player ( against Newcastle in 1996 ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ against Manchester City in 2011 ) , we lost big results before and we have always bounced back and I promise that we 'll do everything we can to turn this around . ''
United expect to announce the signings of striker Edinson Cavani and left-back Alex Telles before Monday 's 11pm deadline for the international window but Solskjaer was vague about the incomings .

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described Manchester United's 6-1 thumping as his 'worst day ever' as a manager.
Ten-man United trailed Spurs 4-1 at half-time at Old Trafford having taken the lead in the second minute through Bruno Fernandes. Serge Aurier and Harry Kane struck in the second-half to record the joint-worst defeat United have suffered in the Premier League era.
"Yeah, you can say that," Solskjaer said when asked if it was his lowest ebb connected with the club. "It's at home, it's a team that we assembled, that we hope we see the potential in it and we know how good they can be.
"But today all our mistakes came almost like Christmas, everything came at once. Too many mistakes against a good team and you'll be punished.
"It's very embarrassing and hurt all the players and hurt me. As a manager, it's my worst day ever. I hold my hand up and have to be responsible for this.
"I lost 5-0 as a player (against Newcastle in 1996) with United, we lost 6-1 (against Manchester City in 2011), we lost big results before and we have always bounced back and I promise that we'll do everything we can to turn this around."
United expect to announce the signings of striker Edinson Cavani and left-back Alex Telles before Monday's 11pm deadline for the international window but Solskjaer was vague about the incomings.
"Tonight is about addressing this and we know what we want to do and you'll probably know more tomorrow night when the window closes," Solskjaer stressed. "We need to look at what we've got here and make more of that.
"The world is a different world at the moment. Everyone wants to have the squad they want as early as possible, we are still in a position where we can add to this. I've got a squad that I need to get more out of but we can still maybe, by tomorrow night, have an addition."
Solskjaer also added he has 'no issue' with the head of corporate development Matt Judge's role in negotiating transfers.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-04--Across Manchester, lonely students are self-isolating and struggling to get help

Living away from home in a new city for the first time aged just 18 is intimidating enough .
Now thousands of students in Manchester are also being asked not to leave the flats they moved into only a matter of weeks ago .
They are confined to their rooms , or shared kitchen and dining areas , with other young people who , in reality , are complete strangers to them .
Then factor in that many of them are falling ill with coronavius .
One mum told the M.E.N her 18-year-old daughter tested positive this week and her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ She 's aching all over , she ca n't sit still , she has n't slept for four nights , '' the mum said .
The teenager is now spending most of her time in bed alone , hoping she gets better as quickly as possible .
The infection rate among 17 to 21-year-olds in Manchester has rocketed in the last few weeks and on Thursday reached 745 cases per 100,000 people .
That is undoubtedly driving the city 's overall infection rate that has now reached 335.9 .
An outbreak at two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cambridge - remains the biggest cause for concern after at least 137 confirmed cases .
On Wednesday , public health officials delivered 1,800 kits so that every single student can be tested immediately .
But parents and students have told of positive cases at accommodation across the city .
On Thursday , the University of Manchester began publicly sharing the number of positive cases which has reached 370 students and 12 staff by October 1 .
At this point , no one can say for sure exactly what has caused the increase in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are some factors that seem very likely .
Manchester 's Director of Public Health David Regan points to students living in high density accommodation with lots of shared facilities such as kitchens , bathrooms , dining areas and laundry rooms .
Failure to comply with social distancing rules has also been noted , with reports of up to 100 students partying together outside the Birley halls around a week before the outbreak occurred .
Thankfully , it is now well-documented that Covid-19 is far less likely to cause serious illness or be fatal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health officials are desperate to hammer home the message that that is not guaranteed and there is the potential for long term health problems .
And for those who are stuck isolating , the situation remains a logistical and mental challenge , regardless of if they have Covid-19 or not .
Priya Dayal , 18 , from near Huddersfield , is living in Rosamond House , a block of Unite Student Accommodation directly opposite MMU 's Cambridge halls .
She is the only one in her flat of four who has not tested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have watched on the news as MMU rushed in extra supermarket deliveries , handing out £50 ASDA vouchers and two week rent rebates across the road , Priya says she feels ignored .
`` I 'm in a flat of four , and all three of the others have tested positive for coronavirus , '' she said .
`` I do n't know how I did n't to be honest !
`` There are other flats isolating [ because of confirmed cases ] as well .
`` We had to record it on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been no response . ''
`` My friend got an email but we have n't even had that .
`` In Cambridge halls they 're in lockdown and getting care packages and free deliveries from the supermarkets - it feels like we 've been completely neglected .
`` It 's a very scary situation and it feels like the only reason they 're helping the two places in lockdown is because of the media attention . ''
Priya said by Wednesday , her flat had almost completely run out of food .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pasta , '' she said .
`` Running out of milk , no bread , we 've been ordering takeaways but it 's very expensive . ''
Just as the situation was beginning to get urgent , Priya 's mum mentioned her plight at work , and a colleague had a friend living in Manchester who was willing to do some shopping for the flat .
`` I feel so lucky , I 'm very grateful , '' she said .
`` It 's quite a big task to do a weekly shop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ uni were saying 'get a friend to help ' - we do n't really have any friends .
`` We 've just moved to uni and we do n't really know anyone who would just pop to the shops for us .
`` It 's not the easiest situation to try and make friends anyway .
`` There 's just been no support . ''
When the country went into full lockdown in March , communities rallied together and a steady stream of stories of goodwill quickly emerged .
Volunteers buying shopping for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ door , people making masks for NHS workers , thousands of pounds raised for those in need .
Perhaps it reflects the nation 's general mood after six months of the pandemic , people are now drained and fed-up , but there has not yet been the same outpouring of support for students .
In Hulme , residents have vowed to do as much as they can to help the 1,500 MMU students isolating in halls .
But Priya is not the only student or parent in Manchester to have struggled to find @ @ @ @ @ @ @ described a similar situation at Oak House in Fallowfield .
She says isolating students have feared leaving their flats to use the communal laundry facilities outside and have been washing clothes in the bath .
`` I 've been bringing food to people , picking up post , but it 's very difficult when you 're only been here a week , '' she said .
After an upbeat start , Molly said the mood on campus has now shifted due to the number of positive cases .
`` It seems silly but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people have realised that it 's a real thing , '' she said .
`` I think people are scared and it 's been really , really quiet the last three nights .
`` I think they should isolate our entire building , that makes sense , we all have to use the same main door so we 're like one household anyway .

`` We thought they would send someone round with a parcel and check in on their mental health .
`` Teenagers are n't that forthcoming with their parents .
`` We would like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
Professor Catherine Loveday who works at the University of Westminster said while her own employer is going to 'extraordinary lengths ' to help students , this is not the case in Manchester .

Living away from home in a new city for the first time aged just 18 is intimidating enough.
Now thousands of students in Manchester are also being asked not to leave the flats they moved into only a matter of weeks ago.
They are confined to their rooms, or shared kitchen and dining areas, with other young people who, in reality, are complete strangers to them.
Then factor in that many of them are falling ill with coronavius.
One mum told the M.E.N her 18-year-old daughter tested positive this week and her symptoms have got progressively worse.
"She's aching all over, she can't sit still, she hasn't slept for four nights," the mum said.
The teenager is now spending most of her time in bed alone, hoping she gets better as quickly as possible.
The infection rate among 17 to 21-year-olds in Manchester has rocketed in the last few weeks and on Thursday reached 745 cases per 100,000 people.
That is undoubtedly driving the city's overall infection rate that has now reached 335.9.
An outbreak at two MMU halls of residence - Birley and Cambridge - remains the biggest cause for concern after at least 137 confirmed cases.

On Wednesday, public health officials delivered 1,800 kits so that every single student can be tested immediately.
But parents and students have told of positive cases at accommodation across the city.
On Thursday, the University of Manchester began publicly sharing the number of positive cases which has reached 370 students and 12 staff by October 1.
At this point, no one can say for sure exactly what has caused the increase in transmission among young people, though there are some factors that seem very likely.
Manchester's Director of Public Health David Regan points to students living in high density accommodation with lots of shared facilities such as kitchens, bathrooms, dining areas and laundry rooms.
Failure to comply with social distancing rules has also been noted, with reports of up to 100 students partying together outside the Birley halls around a week before the outbreak occurred.
Thankfully, it is now well-documented that Covid-19 is far less likely to cause serious illness or be fatal in young people.

However, public health officials are desperate to hammer home the message that that is not guaranteed and there is the potential for long term health problems.
And for those who are stuck isolating, the situation remains a logistical and mental challenge, regardless of if they have Covid-19 or not.
Priya Dayal, 18, from near Huddersfield, is living in Rosamond House, a block of Unite Student Accommodation directly opposite MMU's Cambridge halls.
She is the only one in her flat of four who has not tested positive for coronavirus.
But while they have watched on the news as MMU rushed in extra supermarket deliveries, handing out £50 ASDA vouchers and two week rent rebates across the road, Priya says she feels ignored.
"I'm in a flat of four, and all three of the others have tested positive for coronavirus," she said.
"I don't know how I didn't to be honest!
"There are other flats isolating [because of confirmed cases] as well.
"We had to record it on this app but since that there's been no response."

"My friend got an email but we haven't even had that.
"There's been communication issues.
"In Cambridge halls they're in lockdown and getting care packages and free deliveries from the supermarkets - it feels like we've been completely neglected.
"It's a very scary situation and it feels like the only reason they're helping the two places in lockdown is because of the media attention."
Priya said by Wednesday, her flat had almost completely run out of food.
"We had some pasta sauce but no pasta," she said.
"Running out of milk, no bread, we've been ordering takeaways but it's very expensive."
Just as the situation was beginning to get urgent, Priya's mum mentioned her plight at work, and a colleague had a friend living in Manchester who was willing to do some shopping for the flat.

"I feel so lucky, I'm very grateful," she said.
"It's quite a big task to do a weekly shop.
"When we rang up the uni were saying 'get a friend to help' - we don't really have any friends.
"We've just moved to uni and we don't really know anyone who would just pop to the shops for us.
"It's not the easiest situation to try and make friends anyway.
"There's just been no support."
When the country went into full lockdown in March, communities rallied together and a steady stream of stories of goodwill quickly emerged.

Volunteers buying shopping for elderly neighbours and leaving them at the door, people making masks for NHS workers, thousands of pounds raised for those in need.
Perhaps it reflects the nation's general mood after six months of the pandemic, people are now drained and fed-up, but there has not yet been the same outpouring of support for students.
In Hulme, residents have vowed to do as much as they can to help the 1,500 MMU students isolating in halls.
But Priya is not the only student or parent in Manchester to have struggled to find help.
First year student Molly Chambers described a similar situation at Oak House in Fallowfield.
She says isolating students have feared leaving their flats to use the communal laundry facilities outside and have been washing clothes in the bath.
"I've been bringing food to people, picking up post, but it's very difficult when you're only been here a week," she said.
"We've got group chats going."

After an upbeat start, Molly said the mood on campus has now shifted due to the number of positive cases.
"It seems silly but now we've had cases I think people have realised that it's a real thing," she said.
"I think people are scared and it's been really, really quiet the last three nights.
"I think they should isolate our entire building, that makes sense, we all have to use the same main door so we're like one household anyway.

"That's what the uni should be asking but they're not, you feel like you can't say anything, there's no support."
James Lewis said his son recently arrived for his first year at Manchester University and has now tested positive for coronavirus along with four other flatmates in Oak House.
Mr Lewis told the M.E.N: "[The University] has a duty of care.
"We thought they would contact parents but the students have just been left to the own resources."
"We thought they would send someone round with a parcel and check in on their mental health.
"Teenagers aren't that forthcoming with their parents.
"We would like to see some more support and advice."
Professor Catherine Loveday who works at the University of Westminster said while her own employer is going to 'extraordinary lengths' to help students, this is not the case in Manchester.
"Sorry to say that my son is not getting the same support at the University of Manchester," she tweeted.
"Isolating in an airless room due to flatmate testing positive but there has been no support and no food deliveries, and they don’t even have a cooker or toaster that works."
And another academic, Alice Spilman tweeted: "My sister, a first year University of Manchester student has COVID-19, as do her flat mates.
"The uni have done nothing to support her. My mum called up to see if they had a plan, to help them get food etc, their response- ‘we didn’t think this would happen’. I’m disappointed."
Such has been the tough time that some students have experienced, they have decided to move back home already.
But this presents yet another potential concern for public health officials.
They do not want students who have mixed in areas with a high infection rate to then return and spread the virus further around the country.
This is the concern that briefly led to a threat that students may have to stay in their accommodation over Christmas - although the Prime Minister Boris Johnson has quickly given assurances this will not be the case.
Director of Public Health David Regan said a number of 'covid-secure' evacuations from the lockdown at MMU have been secured since the lockdown began there last week.

But he emphasised that it is only permitted where there are fears for a particular student.
"Our preference is for students to stay," he said.
"This is very much a bespoke arrangement, particularly where there are mental health concerns."
Manchester's senior politicians have backed the decision for universities to reopen, acknowledging the economic importance to the city.
Mayor Andy Burnham said in his press conference this week that 'his heart goes out to the students, who are probably having a pretty miserable time right now.'
He said nationally 'something needs to be done' to recompense students for their current situation but added: "It is right that universities have brought people back.
"They’re important to city economies and the futures of the younger generation."
But Labour says the government can and should do better on support students now that thousands of them are self-isolating.
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, shadow mental health minister, said: "The current situation for students across the country requires urgent attention.
"Even before the pandemic, students were placed on long waiting lists for access to mental health services – we cannot have students falling through the cracks now.
"Parents deserve to know that when they send their children to university, they are safe and their wellbeing is supported."
What student mental health charity says:
Student Minds, a national charity that supports student mental wellbeing, is worried by the recent lockdown measures imposed at MMU and the experience of self-isolation.
Jenny Smith, Policy Manager, said: "At Student Minds we were shocked by the recent measures used to contain self-isolating students in halls across the country.
"Some of these measures were far more restrictive than any imposed during the March lockdown.
"Worryingly, the application of these measures led to students and non-students being treated differently. Some of the accounts we have heard are deeply troubling, describing difficulties in accessing food, students being obstructed from exiting their premises, a lack of communication from institutions, and the use of security threats to intimidate students into compliance.
"At Student Minds, we are calling for any measures introduced to be fair, non-discriminatory, and proportionate, with the mental health of our university communities considered at every step of the process.
"We would like to thank the amazing university communities who have been working tirelessly to support students as best they can.
"Staff in universities and students’ unions have been remarkable during this period.It is essential that the government and universities have a clear plan for how they are going to support students and staff through this period of instability, and be ready for multiple eventualities.
"Policies and guidelines made about students should always be made in meaningful co-production with students and experts in student mental health, and we expect that any decisions made regarding students and staff meet this.
"In August, Student Minds launched Student Space, a new online programme to support students through the coronavirus pandemic. Student Space is a trusted place for students to explore online resources, access confidential support in a way that is right for them such as by text or phone and enables students to find the help available at their university. This support is free to access and open to all higher education students in England and Wales.”
Manchester Metropolitan University says:
A spokesperson said: "Our primary concern is the welfare of our students. We have been working closely with the Outbreak Control Team, which involves Public Health England and Manchester City Council, and following their guidance.
"We have been in daily communication with the students who are in self-isolation in Birley and Cambridge Halls to advise them about the support measures we have put in place there. In the initial stages of the self-isolation we worked with partners around the city to open up additional channels for them to get access to grocery provisions, such as securing additional delivery slots for those halls.
"By Monday 28 September, we had put in place a package which included a two-week rent rebate and a £50 shopping voucher and we have updated students on how to get access to these.
"We have also communicated with students who are in self-isolation elsewhere, some of whom are in accommodation we do not own, and advised about the help and support available to them. We will be communicating further with them next week and continue to liaise closely with partner organisations who own and run the non-University accommodation to discuss any additional support they can give.
"Although we have been in regular correspondence, we are obviously concerned if any of our students or their parents feel unsupported. Our staff are working 24 hours a day to deliver support and we would ask any students with concerns or who are struggling with access to food or other issues to contact our Student Services team onstudentservices@mmu.ac.uk as soon as possible."
