🚨 EXCL: Man Utd close to agreement with Kobbie Mainoo + Harry Maguire over new contracts. Proposed deal would keep 20yo midfielder at #MUFC until 2031 on improved terms. 33yo defender offered 1+1yr deal. Work still needed but talks advanced @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/71342…

🚨 Harry Maguire, on the verge of signing new deal at Manchester United until June 2027! Deal at final stages; details being sorted as @David_Ornstein reports. New deal will also include an option to extend until 2028. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Maguire had proposals from Italy but priority to #MUFC.

All things considered, a point is far from a negative against a routinely tricky side and extends United’s advantage over Aston Villa, Liverpool and Chelsea. #MUFC theatre-of-red.com/harry-maguire-…

Let’s not forget this ref and VAR are the same ones who didn’t give us the goal against Burnley. But we get all the decisions

Atwell should have been banned for being a ref after that ghost goal years ago when he was starting out. Has never improved yet kept climbing the leagues.

Absolutely disgraceful, we fully deserved the win tonight too. Screwed by @FA_PGMOL 👍🏻

If you let the one on Amad go then you have to let the Maguire one go because that’s what you’ve set yourself up for in the game then. Truly terrible officiating.

Match suddenly upside down. Maguire with a hand on Evanilson that was lighter than Amad received for his penalty claim - but this time adjudged foul + red. Can’t square those calls. #MUFC

AFCB 2 MUFC 2. Cracking game for a neutral. Of which few of you are. Thought it was a pen on Amad before Bournemouth went up the other end and got a pen.

I know I’m biased but I always do my best to be as grounded as I can about decisions in games but Manchester United are being robbed in broad daylight here.

Six hours after leaving Manchester and we’re coming into Bournemouth. The coach will get back at around 4am. But first, bring on United.

@patfoxyboy He’s been the most exciting player coming through the Academy for years. Him & JJ Gabriel are so far ahead of the others. It’s a mystery why Amorim didn’t play him.. might’ve saved his job.

@Drawski5 I would love to see Shay involved. Loads of ability. Helps the team going forward 👍

Nice to see Shea Lacey close to full fitness. With Dorgu being out injured the lad would’ve been ideal out wide in recent games. He’d be a massive boost for the team if he’s available for the run in towards the end of the season. If he’s fit..we finish in the top 4!

- @ZackPolanski is now saying 220,000 Green members in England and Wales. + @scottishgreens = 230k. Labour’s last official figure, in December, was 250k. Given how many people I know who’ve left Labour in the meantime, I wouldn’t be surprised if Greens have in fact already overtaken Labour.

@owenjonesjourno Cuba looks so classy..😎

@D_Raval I studied Government & Politics back in the 1970s for my A levels & remember debating Proportional Representation back then (nearly 50 years ago😳) Nothing ever changed BUT IF the Tories & Labour carry on plummeting, PR might just get a look in..

Zack asked about his ambitions. Yes he can imagine being PM one day but that’s not the goal for now. He explains the aim now is to have enough Green MPs to hold the balance of power, so they could push through fair voting (PR) at elections.

Considering United have played so few games this season it’s frightening to think how perilous things might’ve been had we remained in the cups. De Ligt, Mount & Martinez injuries added to Dorgu & Mazroui. Dorgu was just becoming a special player..creating & scoring on the LW.

Do you agree? 🦊
