themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-19--Man City stance on Leroy Sane in Bayern Munich negotiations

Manchester City are not expecting Leroy Sane to force a move if an agreement with Bayern Munich can not be found this summer .
Pep Guardiola confirmed that Sane has made clear his decision to leave the Etihad by turning down a contract extension on a number of occasions , and Bundesliga champions Bayern have been transparent about their interest .
However , City will only strike a deal if they receive a fee well in excess of the £30m that has been mentioned in German media reports .
The Blues wanted more than £130m last year and do not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ situation of the player , or the uncertainty of the transfer window , warrant such a dramatic drop in valuation .
Guardiola spoke of bearing no grudge towards Sane for his decision to choose another adventure after four years at the Etihad , and even if the club are resigned to losing him they do not expect to be forced into a sale this summer .
`` Of course when we make an offer to players it ’ s because we want him , he is a young player with incredible potential , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` He has special quality that is hard to find around the world , but we tried before the injury , we tried before the the surgery and after that but he rejected .
He has other wishes and I understand .
`` I said many times we want players who want to play at this club , who want to play with us , want to fully commit to try to achieve our targets but we respect him .
He is an incredibly nice guy .
I love him .
I love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so educated , nice family so I don ’ t have anything against him .
`` He just decided he wanted to make another adventure for his career and he does n't want to stay .
When that happens we will help him until the last day that he is here and going to count for the players who want to stay here . ''

Guardiola spoke of bearing no grudge towards Sane for his decision to choose another adventure after four years at the Etihad, and even if the club are resigned to losing him they do not expect to be forced into a sale this summer.
"Of course when we make an offer to players it’s because we want him, he is a young player with incredible potential," the manager said on Friday.
"He has special quality that is hard to find around the world, but we tried before the injury, we tried before the the surgery and after that but he rejected. He has other wishes and I understand.
"I said many times we want players who want to play at this club, who want to play with us, want to fully commit to try to achieve our targets but we respect him. He is an incredibly nice guy. I love him. I love him so much, he’s so educated, nice family so I don’t have anything against him.
"He just decided he wanted to make another adventure for his career and he doesn't want to stay. When that happens we will help him until the last day that he is here and going to count for the players who want to stay here."

This was a creditable return from United and a point deemed valuable enough by Solskjaer to send Eric Bailly on to protect it. The irony is United then won another penalty via Dier on Fernandes in added time, only this time it was rightly overturned by the Video assistant referee. It appeased Jose Mourinho, so irked he swore in his Portuguese tongue.
It was shaping up to be a classic Mourinho night. Tottenham dared United, frustrated them and then delivered the sucker punch through Steven Bergwijn. It seemed too good for a defence that consisted of Dier and Serge Aurier to keep a clean sheet.
United have little to fret about in an attack enhanced by Pogba but their defensive frailties resurfaced. David de Gea did not have so much as a back pass to control when Steven Bergwijn motored past United defenders that were as mobile as traffic cones.
De Gea's feeble attempt to block Bergwijn's drive would be forgivable if it were not so familiar in a season where he has committed more errors than in the last six combined, and it came after another clean sheet for Dean Henderson in a campaign he could end in the Premier League Team of the Year.
Whatever happens between now and late July, United have a delicate matter to manage with the best Spanish, English and Argentinian goalkeepers on their books. Henderson is so cocksure he 'liked' a tweet that suggested he had attained De Gea's number one status at United.
"I’m sick to death of this goalkeeper. I’d be fighting at half time, swinging punches," Roy Keane harrumphed in the broadcasters' studio at half-time. It will alarm Keane, accustomed to Peter Schmeichel's deafening roar, just how quiet De Gea is in an empty stadium.
Bergwijn identified another chink in the United armour; the lack of speed. Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof could not keep up and neither could blame it on ring-rust in United's first fixture for 99 days. Bailly and, when fit, Axel Tuanzebe offer injections of pace, and Lindelof looked particularly rinsed upon his removal.
Pogba's omission was understandable now United have an elite midfield department. McTominay was picked on the strength of his pivotal performance in the reverse fixture and Fred and Fernandes have attained undroppable status, though Fred may have relinquished that now. He was isolated in the holding role - which cost United at Wolves last year - and lacked the cynicism to halt Bergwijn at the sake of a booking; McTominay has that snide streak.
It took Fernandes all of four minutes to test his competitive vocal chords in the empty stadium on Daniel James. Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 'Azza' to Fernandes - was implored to move into the opponent's half.

McTominay implored his teammates to stay 'f-----g tight' and told Moss he was 'taking the p--s' for booking Daniel James. Maguire agreed verbatim.

Pogba was instructed to warm-up at half-time but kept his bib on for the restart. "Get in the box, Antho," Solskjaer shouted at Martial, who stayed outside the box. When Martial did, he elicited a world-class denial from Hugo Lloris and a shouting match between the goalkeeper and Serge Aurier that extended into the drinks break.

Marcus Rashford posed powerfully by taking the knee and raising his fist at kick-off and nearly crowned an uplifting week with a side-footer that Hugo Lloris blocked. Six minutes later, Rashford's loose pass was seized on by Bergwijn.

Pogba is back and United suffered no setback.

So the performance is pleasing for me , compared to the points .

“You can talk about first 20, 25 minutes, we were slow. We kept the ball but it was too slow, very disappointing goal to conceded for a number of reasons. To be fair to Bergwijn it was a very good strike, a good goal and we’ve seen them before.
“The performance second half deserved a point or three points anyway.

Paul is one of the best players in the world. It’s great to have him back. It’s good to give him minutes and he’ll work hard to get fitter for the next time. He’s delighted to be back on the pitch. He’s had a nine or 10 month injury nightmare. He was close to coming back before lockdown and I’m sure everyone can see he’s got very good hunger for the game and he’s a very good footballer.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-19--Roy Keane slams three Man Utd players vs Spurs in furious half time rant

Manchester United legend Roy Keane unleashed a furious tirade against David de Gea at half-time of their Premier League clash against Tottenham .
Following a three-month absence , United returned to action but fell behind after 26 minutes when Steven Bergwijn fired past De Gea to open the scoring .
The Spaniard was heavily criticised by commentator Gary Neville during the match but , during the half-time analysis , Keane knocked things up a notch when he declared he 'would be swinging punches ' in the dressing room .
He also stated he was 'sick to death ' with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has criticised previously for errors .
Keane also slammed United captain Harry Maguire and left-back Luke Shaw , and took issue with fellow pundit Patrice Evra , suggesting De Gea 's save to deny Son Heung-min 's later on in the first half was not a great save .
“ I ’ m shocked .
I ’ ve watched a lot of football over the years , but to give away that goal , I ’ m fuming here watching this game of football .
I can ’ t believe Shaw heading the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ running forward .
I am staggered at Maguire .
I am staggered that an international player can just get done like this , '' he told Sky Sports .
“ I am sick to death of this goalkeeper .
I would be fighting him at half-time .
There is no getting away from that .
I would be swinging punches at that guy .
“ This is a standard save for an established international goalkeeper .
I am flabbergasted .
There ’ s got to be some stuff going on at half-time .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ changes , get some lads off the pitch .
“ Not that United have been bad , but you ’ ve got to impose your personality on the game .
Spurs have done OK , they ’ ve been compact .
But Man United - Maguire and De Gea - I wouldn ’ t even let them on the bus back after the match .
Get on a taxi back to Manchester .
“ These are established international players and we ’ re sitting here and I know we have to analyse the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come home .
You do your job , we ’ re trying to get the top four , not win leagues , God forbid trying to win trophies .
Shocking .
“ I am disgusted with it .
Maguire , De Gea , you should hang your heads in shame .
Representing Manchester United and letting players run past you .
Get close to people , move your feet .
Look at Shaw , he heads it in the air and starts running forward , they don ’ t know what ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and I am fed up of that goalkeeper .
De Gea is the most overrated goalkeeper I ’ ve seen in a long time . ''
Speaking about the save that De Gea made a short while later to prevent Son from doubling Tottenham 's advantage , he added : “ If anyone says this is a good save ... Patrice will say it ’ s a decent save .
If that goes in you ’ re saying where ’ s my goalkeeper .
If this goes in the back of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be doing .
`` I ’ d save this .
It ’ s the middle of the goal .
It ’ s his job , middle of the goal and a good height for him .

Following a three-month absence, United returned to action but fell behind after 26 minutes when Steven Bergwijn fired past De Gea to open the scoring.
The Spaniard was heavily criticised by commentator Gary Neville during the match but, during the half-time analysis, Keane knocked things up a notch when he declared he 'would be swinging punches' in the dressing room.
He also stated he was 'sick to death' with the former Atletico Madrid stopper, who he has criticised previously for errors.

Keane also slammed United captain Harry Maguire and left-back Luke Shaw, and took issue with fellow pundit Patrice Evra, suggesting De Gea's save to deny Son Heung-min's later on in the first half was not a great save.
“I’m shocked. I’ve watched a lot of football over the years, but to give away that goal, I’m fuming here watching this game of football. I can’t believe Shaw heading the ball up in the air and then running forward. I am staggered at Maguire. I am staggered that an international player can just get done like this," he told Sky Sports.
“I am sick to death of this goalkeeper. I would be fighting him at half-time. There is no getting away from that. I would be swinging punches at that guy.
“This is a standard save for an established international goalkeeper. I am flabbergasted. There’s got to be some stuff going on at half-time. If I was Ole, make some changes, get some lads off the pitch.
“Not that United have been bad, but you’ve got to impose your personality on the game. Spurs have done OK, they’ve been compact. But Man United - Maguire and De Gea - I wouldn’t even let them on the bus back after the match. Get on a taxi back to Manchester.
“These are established international players and we’re sitting here and I know we have to analyse the game, analyse it until the cows come home. You do your job, we’re trying to get the top four, not win leagues, God forbid trying to win trophies. Shocking.
“I am disgusted with it. Maguire, De Gea, you should hang your heads in shame. Representing Manchester United and letting players run past you. Get close to people, move your feet. Look at Shaw, he heads it in the air and starts running forward, they don’t know what’s happening here.
“Smell the danger, and I am fed up of that goalkeeper. De Gea is the most overrated goalkeeper I’ve seen in a long time."
Speaking about the save that De Gea made a short while later to prevent Son from doubling Tottenham's advantage, he added: “If anyone says this is a good save... Patrice will say it’s a decent save. If that goes in you’re saying where’s my goalkeeper. If this goes in the back of the net, this is what he should be doing.
"I’d save this. It’s the middle of the goal. It’s his job, middle of the goal and a good height for him.”
