Manchester United Vs Nottingham Forest still 'scheduled to go ahead as planned' despite Storm Darragh. 'The club will continue to consult the relevant authorities throughout the day and will update supporters immediately if anything changes.'

Ruben Amorim gets a banner in Portuguese for his first game at Old Trafford

Only seven years ago Bodo/Glimt had average attendances of 2-3000 and the third smallest budget in Norway. They are now on course for a fourth league title in five. And they're coming for Man United, who many of their fans and staff support www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

Inside Mo Salah's rejuvenation: How Sergio Ramos hurting his shoulder in 2018 influenced the forward's incredible physical transformation www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

As someone who writes a lot of 'Winners and Losers' articles I find this a very strange topic for the format...especially as 'civilians who will not be killed' is not listed among the 'winners'

Guardiola finally asked what has happened to his nose "I cut it with my finger." He then jokes: "I wanted to hurt myself."

Guardiola on Gvardiol: "He's so young, he will learn. Before (the first mistake) he was the best player on the pitch."

Guardiola: "It's not necessary to say anything to the players. Three episodes, it is what it is. Difficult to swallow."

Feyenoord fans having the time of their lives, singing 'Don't take me home'

3-3! Un-bel-ievable!

3-2! Santi Gimenez chests the ball over the line and it's game on

Feyenoord pull one back after another howler by Gvardiol...

Haaland slides in to make it 3-0. City are back

Ilkay Gundogan makes it 2-0 to City with a big deflection off David Hancko. Could well be an own goal

Haaland batters the penalty low and hard and celebrates furiously

Penalty to City for handball. Was going to be the only way they were going to score...

Feyenoord fans have been singing 'Arne Slot' and are now singing You'll Never Walk Alone. You can imagine how that has gone down here

Visiting fans in Europe winding up their opponents in their hosts' language 👏

Things have got so bad at City that they are now blocking each other's shots

Player ratings from a truly unbelievable 90 minutes at the Etihad Stadium www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

Spurs fans singing "You're getting sacked in the morning" to Guardiola. Don't hear that very often

Pep, are you sure about that contract?

Porro! 3-0 to Spurs. Unbelievable

Nathan Ake comes on at the start of the second half for John Stones

Have never heard the Etihad Stadium this quiet..

2-0! An ice-cool finish by Maddison after another wonderful passing move from Spurs

Decent effort from Son - looks for the top corner from outside the box and Ederson forced to tip over the bar.

Tottenham have a real knack of getting under City's skin, particularly at the Etihad. They have only lost one of their last four visits here (not including the fan-less Covid season)

Tottenham lead! James Maddison tucks home from close range in Spurs' first chance of the game

Big chance for City - Savinho tears into the box and squares to Haaland, who is denied by the feet of Vicario

Yves Bissouma picks up a booking after 14 seconds for hauling down Phil Foden...

Manchester City give Rodri a very flashy reception in his first game at the Etihad since winning the Ballon d'Or

Must say I was pretty cynical about Linkin Park reforming but I gotta say it - the new album is pretty sick...

The performance on Sunday matters more than Friday’s performance, but Amorim put on a very good show #mufc www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Amorim has been hired for his coaching skills but also his charismatic personality and he demonstrated the latter in an engaging first press conference on Friday www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/...

How should #MUFC line up against Ipswich in Ruben Amorim's feted 3-4-3? I've given it a whirl www.goal.com/en/lists/ale...

Surprised people are so furious with Marcus Rashford going to a basketball game during his time off when only recently he was getting wrecked in Belfast when he was supposed to be at work. Nothing wrong with making the most of your holidays.
