Manchester United must spend as wisely as rivals City and PSG if they want to keep up
Reality struck this week in European football. PSG’s 4-1 victory at the Camp Nou was a watershed, showing the Parisians have the quality to outclass Barcelona away, and the Catalans, so long a pre-eminent force with 13 consecutive Champions League quarter-finals, will not add another this year unless they can produce a comeback even more dramatic than 2017. PSG are better, Barça weaker and the image of Gerard Pique trying to cling onto Kylian Mbappe’s shirt was a microcosm of the shift.PSG... -

Not now.There are echoes of Wayne Rooney in 2013 when he wanted to leave Old Trafford. Rooney got the fans back onside by being the stand-out player for six months and went on to become United’s all time leading goal scorer. Pogba is doing himself no harm with his performances and has scored two…... -
Manchester United are much improved, but the small margins are what make also-rans into champions
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer talks about the small margins that win the biggest games. On Wednesday against Manchester City, those margins were superior performances from players in blue. Fred didn’t play as well as his former teammate Fernandinho in a similar role, while the same could be said of Victor Lindelof and his old clubmate Ruben Dias, who was the man of match. They just had that little bit more than their United equivalents.
