5. Zlatan helped Martial
Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed that he offered under pressure forward Anthony Martial advice. The young French striker has faced a lot of criticism due to poor form. He was dropped by boss Jose Mourinho but on Saturday he assisted a goal and scored one for himself.
“When he plays, he is playing well,” Ibrahimovic said.
“When we eat breakfast and he is beside me or if he passes me, we talk. I think everyone talks to everyone. It is not like you try to cheer him up; it is a good atmosphere and the guys are all good guys, very professional.
4. ‘’I will score 100 goals at Man United’’- Zlatan
Manchester United forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic has hinted at a possibility of one year extension to his current deal. The Big Swede joined the Red Devils on a free transfer last summer. He has been amazing for the Reds this season scoring 20 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions.
When asked whether it is automatic that he will get another year at Old Trafford, he said;
“Something like that. I have to score 100 goals!,” Zlatan said on Saturday.
“The option is already fulfilled. But there’s nothing done yet. From my side? We’ll wait and see. Let’s see what happens.”
The former Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Malmo and Barcelona forward has scored 15 goals in a record 24 matches in the League.
3. De Gea to get a new mega deal
Manchester United is reportedly planning to silence Real Madrid interest on David de Gea. The Red Devils top hierarchy is understood to be considering a massive pay rise to keep the Spaniard away from Los Blancos claws.
The shots stopper got a new deal in 2015 when his transfer to Santiago Barnabeu collapsed. The deal was worth £200k-a-week. Now the club want to raise that to close to £300k-a-week. The goalkeeper signed for the Red Devils in 2011 from Atletico Madrid.
2. Pogba and his brother about to make history
World most expensive player Paul Pogba of Manchester United will face his brother Florentin Pogba of St Etienne. The two are set to clash in Europa League round of 32 first leg at Old Trafford on Thursday the 16th.
Florentin said: “I watched the draw and, when I saw who we got, my first reaction was ‘Yes, that’s a dream that’s going to be fulfilled’.
“We used to play every day and hope that one day all three of us would play together in a professional match.
“That was the biggest dream. We haven’t managed it yet but having two of us together on the pitch is already good.
“We’ve been having fun about it ever since the draw, sending messages like ‘Watch out, the match is getting closer’ and so on.”
Pogba second brother Mathias who plays for Sparta Rotterdam will be hoping for such a miracle soon too.
1. Top four will Leave us far behind
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has lamented the lack of Premier League action until 4th March. The Red Devils will be involved in FA Cup, Europa League and EFL Cup final for the rest of February. They will allow the rest of the top four teams to play and expand the two points gap.
“They will leave us,” Mourinho said.
“The other teams will have points so, for sure, it’s going to happen.
“We play the Europa League, so let’s enjoy the Europa League. We also have a cup final. I don’t believe anyone goes to Wembley not happy to go, so we go, we play.
“The only thing I know is their next game is the final and we have to play three matches during this period. We have to train in this cold weather, we have to train on bad pitches at this time, because the weather doesn’t help the pitches.
“So our situation isn’t easy. But we have to enjoy it, because it’s to play football, it’s to play important matches.”
