I’m hoping this is the beginning of the end of this man, I don’t say this lightly. Thoughts to his wife who must be going through a lot. Men like this and the views they share are incredibly disturbing but sadly becoming more prevalent in our various societies.

Rasmus Hojlund struggled against Fulham, like he has for much of this season.

He has been starved of quality service throughout the campaign. How can Ruben Amorim and Manchester United unlock the potential of a player who could end up costing £72m?
