Manchester United

On nights such as these it can feel as though football is choosing to remind you of its true nature. Which is, it turns out, the most gloriously perverse, slow-burn, 400milesfromhome, 10.15pm on a Tuesday, waving your arms in the air, grippedwithfinalplottwist-ecstasy pursuit ever devised. For Manchester United's travelling support this game must have felt like a slow-motion strangulation. Your team have had two shots on target all night.

Mason will be probably not for Tuesday, probably after, but definitely going into the Everton game, he'll be back, said Carrick on Monday. Matta, we'll see how he develops. The Everton game feels like a long time away at the moment, so we'll see how he develops, but he's positive, he's moving in the right direction, but Mason's a little bit closer than him.

Kinteh has done quite well for Tromso and has attracted Chelsea's attention as well. The 19-year-old is not just a quality defender; his recovery pace has been extremely impressive.

Bruno is that type where he understands the different roles and plays them particularly well. And Bryan has done very similar. So has Matheus [Cunha], as well, playing sometimes through the middle and sometimes off the left.

Munich is probably the biggest part of the history of this club in terms of the tragedy itself, how the team and the football club bounced back from it and went on to success... and everything from there was carried on. Sir Alex when I came would mention it, it was important to him, it was important to us [the playing squad at the time] and then it becomes a way of life and a way of the club.

According to iNews, Ronaldo could leave for 43m, the value of his release clause with Al Nassr, with a return to Sporting Lisbon looking a genuine possibility.
