Bruno Fernandes offers brutal assessment of Man Utd's collapse against Galatasaray

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has warned his side they must take accountability for their shortcomings after another Champions League collapse against Galatasaray on Wednesday. United roared into a 2-0 lead inside 18 minutes against Galatasaray as Fernandes' long-range screamer added to Alejandro Garnacho's opener, but continued mistakes from the Red Devils saw them ultimately fall to a 3-3 draw which leaves their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage hanging in the balance. The first meeting between these two sides back in October saw United give up a lead to lose 3-2, while they fell 4-3 to Copenhagen despite also being 2-0 up in the early stages. "It's really hard," Fernandes reflected on the latest disappointment. "We conceded really bad goals. We have to take control of the situations in all of them. "We were on top of the Game twice and we had far too many chances to have the Game closed. We were not clinical enough." ql56

Alejandro Garnacho gets stick off Man Utd coach for overhead kicks in training

Image
Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho was getting an earful from assistant coach Benni McCarthy about attempting overhead kicks in training just the day before scoring one of the goals of the season against Everton on Sunday. Garnacho opened the scoring in the 3-0 win over the Toffees at Goodison Park in spectacular fashion after just three minutes, connecting with Diogo Dalot's deep cross towards the far post. The 19-year-old went airborne to reach the ball that was otherwise flying past, hooking his foot around and sending it flying into the top corner of Jordan Pickford's net. He might never score a better goal, but the fact it went in might embolden Garnacho to try it even more often in training. That's because he was practising the skill as recently as the day before the game, albeit to the frustration of United coach McCarthy. "To be honest, [on Saturday] the forwards were training with Benni McCarthy and he was complaining about Garnacho: 'He doesn'

The Phoenix Suns have flipped a switch, winning their last six in a row despite missing Kevin Durant on Friday. Now, Phoenix will put its winning streak to the test against another great defense in the New York Knicks on Sunday evening. Can New York keep up its winning ways and stun the Suns? Let's dive right into it with our in-depth preview and free NBA picks for Suns vs. Knicks. Suns vs Knicks odds Suns vs Knicks predictions Kevin Durant is in danger of missing his second consecutive game due to right foot soreness, entering play on Sunday with a questionable tag. Given the New York Knicks currently sit as 3-point favorites, we can safely assume that the injury is serious enough to keep him out and given the way the Phoenix Suns are playing, the team certainly has the luxury of easing its superstar back into action. With that, I think the Knicks are in a good spot on Sunday. The Suns are a team that thrives on the perimeter, ranking sixth in shot frequency from the

This weekend is the factory HRC rider's last with the team after 11 years and six premier class titles before he moves to the Gresini Ducati team for 2024. He qualified ninth on Saturday morning before finishing third in the sprint race behind Pramac's Jorge Martin and factory KTM rider Brad Binder. It was his first podium since the Japanese GP last month, with his last sprint rostrum having come at the Indian GP in September. Speaking after the race, Marquez said: "I tried to control myself and my emotions, but it's true that when I arrived at the podium and saw all the faces of my people - that is and will be my people - it was super difficult to control the emotions. "Okay, it's only a sprint race, but this weekend I tried to do my 100%. "I was disappointed in qualifying because starting ninth will be more difficult tomorrow, but it's the best way to say thanks to all the people who helped me to achieve my drea
