Rising XI

@UtdForever7 The Italian Federation is in free call after their National team hasn't qualified for their third WC in a row so can we please have some perspective here please.

🚨🗣️ Gary Pallister (ex-United player) insists that Manchester United have made a mistake by letting Scott McTominay go: "Listen, I think Scott McTominay has got a great affinity with Manchester United and the fans. He grew up there, and I'm sure there's a place in his heart that would feel like he'd love to come back to Manchester United, but whether that's feasible or not, I don't know. He's a player that I probably wouldn't have let go." "I always thought he was going to be a great part of the squad. And as I say, I wouldn't have been letting Scott McTominay go because I think in every game he plays and pulls on that shirt, he wants to do his very, very best. I think a few people were shocked when he did leave." #MUFC

3 minutes in… and this game was already chaos 👀⚽ Fast start. Big tackles. Chances flying in from everywhere. GMF came out on the front foot — pressing high, moving the ball quick, and asking serious questions early doors - But Fives weren’t just there to make up the numbers

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS Teasse - First 3 mins| GMF U10s v Team Goal Lionesses U11s | CUP CLASH What a game of grassroots football this was! A real end-to-end battle between two quality sides who both came to play attacking football in this exciting cup tie #grassrootsfootball #football

@Utdtruthful Always protect your pals. What a load of sheer nonsense her. PGMOL are a farce

🚨🗣️ Mike Dean [former PL referee]: “They will complain but they didn't complain when Dalot wasn't sent off in the Manchester derby. “I think the two incidents are completely different. Maguire is a dead cert, it's a simple decision. It's easy - it's a sending-off all day. “The first one could have been a penalty but there was doubt about how he went down - that's why he hasn't given it. I could see why he didn't give it. And I can see why it's referee's call. “I understand they have made a complaint but you have to backtrack as well because they have had a few calls [in their favour] this year that have gone on referee's call.” #MUFC [Soccer Saturday]

@TheAthleticFC Football is dying, the skilfull stars hardly exist, the games are screwed with VAR and the long ball is back business. Is this what has really happened to the beautiful game😭

FIFA will allow broadcasters to cut away to advertisements during the “hydration breaks” that will split up each half of every 2026 World Cup match, multiple people briefed on the guidelines or with direct knowledge of them told The Athletic. Soccer’s global governing body announced in December that it would introduce a three-minute break midway through each 45-minute half at the World Cup. It promoted the breaks as a “player welfare” measure, but said there’d be “no weather or temperature condition in place, with the breaks being called by the referee in all games.” FIFA officials also discussed the change with broadcast executives, and three sources, including one at FIFA, have now confirmed to The Athletic that broadcasters will be permitted to flip away from the match feed to show commercials, as they would during halftime or a timeout in basketball or American football. @HenryBushnell 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/70813…

@Malachians Hey Phil it's already happening at under 10:s games in Manchester

It’s just a matter of time before we see kids at junior football up and down the country crowding the goalkeeper from corners. The pro game is complete contaminate of youth football.

@terryflewers Disgraceful decision. These refs are atrocious.

How is that not a yellow card, fucking joke of a ref!

JJ GABRIEL WHAT HAVE YOU JUST DONE OMGGGGG! [🎥: @UnitedAnalyst7] x.com/UtdAnalystVids…

@MUFCDarren_ Where was the 5cm rule here👀

Manchester United robbed yet again, how’s this Caden header off ? What a pass from Kobbie mainoo tho

#WHUMUN – 63’ VAR OVERTURN VAR checked the referee’s call of goal – and established that Casemiro was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed.
