I am still here, I'm now here before you, that is the truth, De Zerbi said on Friday ahead of Marseille's Ligue 1 encounter with Paris FC. Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia, we spoke last night. We got together to try to find the best possible solution. This match [the 3-0 defeat by Club Brugge] is also partly my fault.

Yeh [the atmosphere was the best]. I think it has to be one of the best, if not the best games I've been part of, just in every facet.

So you try to, in the future, get as many of those nights as possible and then, hopefully, get some trophies.

Rodri, Foden and Bernardo were in midfield with Doku, Semenyo, and Haaland in attack.

He told us every moment matters. The way he said it scared me, but it was a great scare moment and I never did it again,

"Football is his life," a source told BBC Sport. "Whether it's Champions League, thoughts on players or something else, he has a hell of a brain when it comes to football detail."

In LaLiga, Real Madrid swapped flair for pragmatism to get a big win on the road against a strong Villarreal side, and Juventus showed their class in Serie A with a big victory over struggling Napoli that puts them back in touch with the top four. Plus there was more panic for Liverpool, as they lost at Bournemouth with a last-gasp goal that bumped them out of the top four.

The 22-year-old has emerged as one of several options being considered by United as they prepare for the departure of Casemiro, who will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season. Midfield reinforcements have become the top priority for Man United this year. With Casemiro's exit confirmed and ongoing inconsistency in midfield, the club is determined to reshape the centre of the pitch with younger, more dynamic talent.
