    “He’s upset the whole team” – Man Utd legend admits he’s speaking regularly to Red Devils ace who is “very down”

    Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has been speaking regularly with struggling Red Devils goalkeeper Andre Onana after his poor recent performances.

    The Cameroon shot-stopper joined Man Utd from Inter Milan in the summer, and looked a superb signing initially, as he shone in Serie A and the Champions League with Inter last season.

    However, ever since arriving at Old Trafford he’s had a torrid time, making mistake after mistake so far this season, including in yesterday’s narrow win over Brentford.

    United fans will surely be concerned, and it seems like Schmeichel is also worried by what he’s seeing from the 27-year-old, who he says he’s been speaking to about his struggles and what it takes to represent this historical club.

    Andre Onana has had a bad start at Manchester United

    Schmeichel is one of the greatest goalkeepers in Premier League history, so he will surely have good advice that Onana would do well to take on board.

    Speaking to Premier League Productions, as quoted by the Metro, Schmeichel said: “I think a lot of that is pressure, I spoke to him after Bayern, I spoke to him after the other Champions League match against Galatasaray as well, he’s very down on the mistakes he’s made.

    “I’m trying to speak to him about what it’s like to be at Manchester United, what you have to take.

    “Whatever you’ve made, you have to put it in a box straight away and put it to the side. So you make a mistake in a game, it might be a mistake we see, it might be a mistake that we don’t see, but you wait to think about it and analyse it until after the game or at night or whatever. You have to be there for the next moment, if you’re not you’ll make the next mistake.

    “And now he’s upset the whole team. Now they will even more not trust him, and my god, it’s not good.”

    The average football fan really can’t appreciate the immense pressure that managers are under these days, and Chelsea boss, Graham Potter, admitted that he couldn’t even bare to watch his side’s re-taken penalty against Borussia Dortmund.

    It’s arguable that there should’ve even been a spot-kick given in the first place, given that the Dortmund defender had his back to the ball when it hit his arm.

    Once Kai Havertz had missed, you had a sense that all the positivity would drain out of the stadium.

    At that point Potter must’ve been wondering whether his luck would ever change, and fortunately for both him and Havertz, the penalty had to be retaken because of players encroaching.

    Perhaps knowing that Chelsea’s entire season rested on that one moment, Potter refused to look, admitting afterwards that the reaction of the crowd would tell him all he needed to know.

    Cody Gakpo has admitted that he thought he was going to sign for Man United before eventually agreeing a switch to rivals Liverpool.

    The Netherlands international, who enjoyed an impressive winter World Cup campaign in Qatar, has been destined to secure a big move for quite some time.

    Heavily linked with Man United, due to Erik Ten Hag’s Dutch connection, Gakpo appeared nailed on to join the Red Devils, especially after Cristiano Ronaldo mutually agreed to terminate his contract, leaving the 20-time league winners desperately short of goalscoring options.

    However, after stalling on a potential deal, United saw rivals Liverpool steal a march in the race to bring Gakpo to the Premier League, and apparently uninterested in going head-to-head with their enemies, Jurgen Klopp was able to land his man for around £40m (Sky Sports) with relative ease.

    However, speaking in a recent interview, the former PSV attacker admitted he spent much of the year expecting to play at Old Trafford.

    “It was difficult this summer. It was a very intense period,” the 23-year-old said, as quoted by FourFourTwo.

    “I tried to find my peace, but it was difficult. I thought I was going to Manchester United, but in the end it didn’t work out.”

    Gakpo has yet to make his club debut but with Liverpool preparing to travel to Brentford for a Premier League clash on Monday, the Reds’ new number 18 could be in line to feature.

    Genesio admits draw is miraculous against Lille

    In a press conference, Bruno Genesio commented on the draw obtained by his troops on the ground of Lille. The Rennes coach confirms that his team was pushed around: “We appreciate this point at its fair value… For me, Lille is the best team we have faced this season. It is a somewhat miraculous point. I also appreciated other values ​​than those we are used to displaying, such as defensive solidarity. We stuck together, we suffered, we folded, but we didn’t break up. These are values ​​that we must display in order to achieve our objectives. We are happy to take a point here. We were put in great difficulty. We defended pretty well, but we had a lot of trouble putting them in trouble.”he told the journalists present.

    “You can’t always be beautiful”

    The former Lyonnais appreciated the state of mind of his troops and is satisfied with this result: “After the equaliser, we fell back and suffered too much. We may have deserved to have this success with this solidarity. We are doing well, we were spared, because the score could have been largely in favor of Lille. I think we would have lost this match by a wide margin last year. We show a lot of character and it shows that we are progressing in certain areas. You can’t always be beautiful, sometimes you have to know how to take points by being naughtier »he continued.

    Lille is now 7e in the Ligue 1 standings, with 23 points obtained in 14 rounds. Rennes retains its 3e position, with the 2nd best attack (29 goals scored) and 5 points from RC Lens.

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed during his press conference today that he contacted Steven Gerrard this morning following his sacking from Aston Villa. 

    The Liverpool legend was relieved of his Aston Villa duties last night after the Birmingham club fell to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Fulham and that followed a disappointing start to the season for Gerrard and his team.

    Aston Villa are currently sat in 17th in the league table having won just two of their opening 11 matches and that was enough for the Villa hierarchy to pull the plug on Gerrard’s time at the club.

    The sacking is a setback in the 42-year-old’s young managerial career and it is uncertain, as of now, whether it will affect his ambition of one day managing Liverpool.

    The Reds’ current boss, Jurgen Klopp, spoke about the former Liverpool star during his press conference today and stated that he contacted Gerrard this morning.

    When asked about Gerrard’s departure from Aston Villa, Klopp stated via Paul Gorst: “I am sure he will come back from that. I’ve been 7 years at Liverpool, we’ve not met a lot for different reasons, but we created a close relationship and I’ve always followed him. Had a quick exchange this morning, nothing too deep.

    “I can imagine it’s disappointing for him because of the things he wanted to achieve at Aston Villa. We all get knocks and it’s about how you respond. These things can happen. A lot of great managers out there had to leave clubs for different reasons. He will be back.”
