Manchester United fans react angrily to Ashley Young's one year contract extension

Manchester United captain Ashley Young will not be joining Inter Milan next summer neither will he be signing a pre-contract agreement with other clubs having be given a one-year contract extension.  Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a huge fan of the 34-year-old and feels his presence at the club will be useful to the younger players in the team.  Although, the decision to keep him at the club haven't gone down well with fan who vented angrily on different social medias.  Some of the tweet reads; "How the might have fallen..

Manchester United 1- 1 Liverpool: Marcus Rashford is a beast and 5 things we learnt

Image
For a while it felt like Manchester United were superior to Liverpool as their moved the ball much quicker, created good chances and opened the scoring through a magnificent ball to Marcus Rashford. 

 Rashford for one was just unstoppable, his energy, swagger and relentless running scared the death out of Liverpool's defense including Van Dijk who struggled all game to contain him. 

 He did score the goal that would've been the match winner but one area of judge from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer changed everything. 

 Taking off Rashford allowed Liverpool's defense to push forward and pile pressure on United's brittle back line.. It allowed Andrew Robertson cross a delicious ball into the 12-yard box which evaded everyone except Adam Lallana who needed just a tap in to score and restore parity. 

 Although, Liverpool did have the lion share of possession but without their star man, Mohamed Salah to stretch United defense, they really struggled to create chances. 

 Here are the five things we learnt: 
Image
1. Marcus Rashford is a beast- 

 The striker single handily tore Liverpool's defense into shred with his pace and movement. He made the world best defender 'Van Dijk' crawl and later pushed him aside to create a golden chance for his teammate to almost score. Rashford was arguably the best player in the pitch and he summed his adventure by saying: 

 "We deserved the three points", he told Sky Sports. "I don't they they 'Liverpool' were good enough to get a draw out of the game or a win but this is football. 

 "It was a big opportunity missed and we just fell short. Hopefully in midweek, we can get a win and it will start a run for us". 

 2. Liverpool really missed Mohamed Salah- 

 Divock Origi might have filled in for Mohamed Salah but had the Egyptian started, Liverpool would've beaten Manchester United. The Egyptian doesn't just offer goals, his direct play and frightening pace would've opened up spaces for the likes of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino to chances to shoot and score.

 Salah is a focal point of attack and when he gets the ball there's always a 75% chance he will score. Origi did well but you everyone knows, the Belgium international works best as a striker than a winger. 

 3. Manchester United can finish in the top 4 if they can keep us this performance- 

 Against Liverpool it was difficult to understand why Manchester United are struggling to win games. The played like a team and made Liverpool look average in most part of the match.. If they can keep up this performance for the rest of the season they will finish in the top 4. 
Image
4. Adam Lallana and Oxlade Chamberlian where terrific to watch- 

 Liverpool's goalscorer Adam Lallana played brilliantly and proved once again why no should write him off. 2017 might be the last time he scored a Premier League goal having suffered from injuries and subsequent lack of form. But today's goal will come as a big relief to him and entire Liverpool squad. 

 5. Jurgen Klopp needs to rest/drop Jordan Henderson and play other midfielders- 

 James Henderson is not on form and his play is erratic. His passes are becoming wayward and his movement predictable. This is best time for the likes of Naby Keita and Oxlade Chamberlain to challenge him for a starting spot and make Jurgen Klopp have no other option than to bench him. 

 James Milner is without doubt better than Jordan Henderson but due to his age. he has to be managed.

Revealed: Mo Salah is still injured with an ankle injury and now needs injections to play

Its difficult to  fathom the sort of pain Mohamed Salah goes through before and after playing a football match.  The Liverpool winger is still suffering an ankle injury sustained against Leicester City almost one moment. The culprit remains Hamaza Choudhury whose nasty challenge sent Salah to the ground in agony.  Sadly, Salah trains alone, the medical staff and coaches have tailored a specific training programmee for him in a bid to help him recover as quickly as possible. Before a game is played, the fluid in his ankle is drained and later he is injected with pain killers 'presumably' to reduce the pain he will feel.  Asked about Salah's injury, Jurgen Klopp said during his press conference: "He should be fine. He has had to do his individual stuff but he will be in training {on Friday}.  "I think it is more really annoying- for him, not me- the fact that the injury always has a bit of fluid in, and he has to deal with it, we get it out an...

Roy Hodgson reveals what Crystal Palace must do to beat Liverpool

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is confident of becoming the first Premier League manager to beat Liverpool this season.  The Reds are unbeaten this season having won 11 games and drawn just once to Manchester United. In fact, Liverpool's last defeat came in hand of Manchester City which was last season.  Since that defeat, Liverpool have gone to win 42 matches and drawn 6 with no defeat.  Hodgson who managed Liverpool from {2010-11} feels he has the antidote to neutralise Liverpool.  "We have to restrict the space their front three are good at using. We have to defend the wide areas", Hodgson said during his press conference.  "We have to make sure our defending around the penalty box is very good. They are a very energetic team, a high pressing culture that when the ball is lost they work very hard to win it back and we need to have composure to free ourselves from our pressure." Crystal Palace haven't beaten Liverpool in any compe...
