During the international break, club football has been suspended, but Manchester United news never stops.
Alejandro Garnacho’s late goal appeared to have sealed all three points for the Reds on Sunday at the Emirates Stadium, but VAR intervened, and the Gunners scored two late goals, inflicting heartbreak on the Reds. The team led by Erik ten Hag entered the international break having lost twice this year.
The drama continued after that. Jadon Sancho criticized his manager’s remarks on social media when Ten Hag stated in his post-game news conference that Sancho’s exclusion from the matchday squad was due to his performance in training.
On Monday, MEN Sport reported that Ten Hag stood by his post-game remarks. We won’t likely hear anything else about it after that.
The defense injury situation for United may not be as terrible as first thought, which is good news. Having flown to Argentina for international duty, Lisandro Martinez will undergo testing there before the national team decides whether he is ready to compete in their next matches. Martinez’s return to fitness would be a significant boost for the Reds considering that Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw are currently out injured.
