Keep up to date with all the latest transfer news, views and rumours from the Premier League and beyond. Cristiano Ronaldo is now expected to stay at Manchester United as a summer-long transfer looks like drawing to a conclusion. Chelsea are still in the market for a number of players, including Frenkie de Jong, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Wesley Fofana, as new co-owner Todd Boehly scrambles to get deals over the line before September. The Spanish giants continue to dominate headlines and have now registered four of their five new signings, including Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, before LaLiga begins on Saturday. Barca are thought to be keen on Man City star Bernardo Silva, who has not ruled out a transfer but could cost as much as £80m.

Big club back in the big league. But are Forest more ‘massive’ than West Ham? Gabby gives his verdict!

EDGE: Big club back in the big league. But are Forest more ‘massive’ than West Ham? Gabby gives his verdict!
Erik ten Hag says Man United’s players put his tactics ‘in the bin’ during 4-0 Brentford loss and is told ‘A mix of Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp couldn’t succeed with these players’ according to Mark Goldbridge
by Connor Andrews on August 13, 2022 at 9:50 pm
Erik ten Hag has been told even a mix of Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp couldn’t succeed at Manchester United. United were humiliated at the Community Stadium, going four goals down before half-time, with the Bees achieving a feat only Liverpool and Tottenham have also done in the Premier League. United looked shellshockedGettyAs did their managerGettyNewly appointed Ten Hag has also become the first coach of the Red Devils to lose his opening two matches in over 100 years, with United on a seven-game league losing streak away from home, their longest since 1936. Singling-out what the issue is at United has been an impossible task since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013, and many, such as club legend Gary Neville, have blamed the Glazer ownership. However, in the short-term there’s a multitude of issues that led to the latest ‘new low’ in London, with the players also at fault and even called out by Ten Hag post-match. “I think this team is good enough to beat Brighton and to beat Brentford but we didn’t do [it], so we have to question ourselves,” the Dutchman said. “Brentford were more hungry. We conceded goals from individual mistakes. You can’t have a tactical plan but then put it in the bin. “It is always a surprise when you start a game like this. After 35 minutes we conceded four goals. This is not possible. The team has to take the responsibility, I feel really sorry for the fans who did everything to support us, we let them down. Ten Hag may have been trying to provoke a reaction with the comments about his playersAFP Most read in Football LIVE Brentford v Man United: Reaction as Ronaldo and Co. bottom of the league after mauling tragic Man United should tell Erik ten Hag to 'pack up' after Brentford 'shambles' SHOCKER 'It's annihilation' - Neville stunned as Man United hammered 4-0 in horror show JOKER Carragher trolls Neville by changing profile picture during Brentford vs Man United PAIN 'I'm going off grid' - Ferdinand reacts to Man United going 4-0 down at Brentford UNHAPPY 'Ya gang of cowards!' - Bellew rages at costly VAR oversight in Everton defeat “They are good players, and have to take responsibility on the pitch, as a team and as individuals, and that’s what we didn’t do. I asked them to play with belief and take responsibility for their performance, and that’s what they didn’t do. “It’s only when we stick together and work hard that we will overcome that. You have to take belief on to the pitch for yourself and the team. “Don’t get me wrong, the manager is responsible as well, he has the main responsibility, and I take that. And I will work on that. I have to give them belief, but they have to give it by themselves.” talkSPORT host Mark Goldbrigde discussed a number of issues affecting the side he loves, including the owners, Ten Hag’s tactics, and the decision to ignore Ralf Rangnick’s advice. This is far from the first time United have been humiliated in recent yearsAFPGoldbridge was as gutted as any United fanThe players’ effort, identified by Ten Hag, struck a chord, though, and Goldbridge believes one of them saw this coming. “Over the last 12 months we’ve been beaten comprehensively seven times,” he explained. “I’m talking 4-0 against Brighton, 4-0 against Brentford today, Leicester, Watford, Liverpool twice, Man City. “It’s the same players. [Harry] Maguire as captain Bruno [Fernandes] starting, Luke Shaw, [Marcus] Rashford, [Scott] McTominay gets dropped and then brought back on. “It has been an absolutely disgusting summer transfer window. Richard Arnold is sat there, we saw him on the TV, he is the CEO of this football club. John Murtough, brought Ralf Rangnick in to rebuild this football club, sacked him, and then took the job on himself to rebuild the club, and it’s been a total and utter mistake. Richard Arnold is facing a tough yearGettyRonaldo could already tell the mismanagement was too muchGetty“This Manchester United fansbase needs to unify, forget all the little ‘you don’t like this player I don’t like that player’ this fanbase needs to jump on the opportunity to remove the Glazers, then we can remove the CEO the director of football, most of the coaches, most of the board, and most of the players and cleanse this football club from top to bottom. “Ronaldo knows their level. He knows the level at Real Madrid, Juventus, Portugal, he knows what a good coach is, he also knows what the limitations of a good coach are. “I think Ronaldo saw this coming, he knew that no matter how good Ten Hag is he knew this squad, he knew the mentality and he knew this was coming. “That’s why in June when he saw nobody being sold and nobody being bought he thought ‘this manager could be a combination of Sir Alex, Pep, Klopp the lot, he is not going to succeed with these players’, and you can’t blame him for wanting to leave.” Betting Offers Of The Weekend ALL CUSTOMERS: Bet £5 via the talkSPORT EDGE app with Paddy Power and get a £5 free bet – available to all customers* – CLAIM HERE NEW CUSTOMERS: Bet £10 with Bet365, Get £50 in Free Bets* – CLAIM HERE Paddy Power All Customers: Place a £5 Sportsbook Bet through the talkSPORT EDGE app between the 1st and 31st August.

‘Welcome to the club!’ – Brighton troll Manchester United after Brentford thrashing as Piers Morgan, Jamie Carragher and Simon Jordan react to woeful collapse
by Phil Spencer on August 13, 2022 at 8:18 pm
When Manchester United lose 4-0, the football world is always going to be talking about it – but you know it’s bad when you get trolled by Brighton. Erik ten Hag’s side fell to the shocking result against Brentford on Saturday evening with David De Gea’s error-strewn first half seeing the Red Devils go 4-0 down inside 35 minutes. Ronaldo did not look impressed with his United teammatesGettyUnited have a lot of soul searching to do after a horrific afternoonWhile De Gea was to blame for the first goal in particular, mistakes from Cristiano Ronaldo and Christian Eriksen were also partin United’s collapse. Thomas Frank’s side undoubtedly deserve credit for such a victory, but it’s Man United’s performance that has got everybody talking. As well as individual errors, Ten Hag’s team rarely looked capable of handling the physical threat that came from the Bees, with 5ft 9in Lisandro Martinez tasked with marking Ivan Toney during the first-half. Gary Neville predicted on Sky Sports that Brentford would look to use long throws into the penalty area to cause panic against United’s small defenders, and later sounded – for once – lost for words as the Red Devils were ‘bullied’ by the London side. Distance covered was also a huge area where Ten Hag’s side fell short, running just 95.6km as a team compared to Brentford’s 109.4km. The shocking manner of the defeat certainly got fans, pundits and even football clubs talking on social media.
