Neville slams Arsenal statement
Manchester United legend Gary Neville lambasted Arsenal’s statement and urged PGMOL chief Howard Webb to stop apologising and “get on with it”.
I played for a club where a manager went mad after games if we felt a decision had gone against us. You feel like it’s us against the world. I get it. Everyone hates us, the refs are out to stitch us up and theirs bias v us.
However I can never remember the club writing letters undermining the system and the whole refereeing community.
When I look back now I don’t think as players we always covered ourselves in glory with refs and also at a big club we all feel entitled and you have to leave and retire to be able to see that.
Arsenal’s letter and even the Liverpool statement a few weeks ago (they had a genuine bad one v them) are wrong. Do it privately.
If I was Howard Webb I would stop apologising to them and get on with it. Managers and players make far more mistakes than refs!

World Cup winner targeted
Man Utd are plotting a move for Argentina World Cup winner Guido Rodriguez.
Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is now reportedly set to be out until 2024, according to Estadio Deportivo.
And with Casemiro turning 32 in February, it’s reckoned Erik ten Hag is now on the hunt for a new holding midfielder.
Step forward Rodriguez, 29, who was part of Argentina’s World Cup winning squad in Qatar.
The former River Plate and Mexican top-flight star has been at Spanish side Real Betis since 2019.
Rodriguez is now considered to be one of LaLiga’s best midfield sixes.
He is out of contract next summer, allowing him to negotiate a future deal from January.
Oh Boey
Man Utd have made an enquiry about Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey, according to reports.
RMC Sport claim the Red Devils are interested in the France right back.
Erik ten Hag’s side have struggled at right back with current incumbent Diogo Dalot inconsistent.
They face competition from Premier League rivals Arsenal, who are also interested in Boey.
Hamann tips Nagelsmann for the Utd job
German legend Didi Hamann has tipped former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann as the next Man Utd boss.
He told BoyleSports: “I think the problem United might face is their team. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t know where to start. They need players in every area on the pitch. A few years ago, Ralf Ragnick said the same thing. It depends on who they get.
“I’m not sure if the top-class managers go to United because they know that it’s a three or five-year job. I think it’s impossible to win the league within three years, but those expectations will always be there if a new manager comes in and spends a few quid.
“The other question revolves around how much money the new manager gets. Nagelsmaan has done well and he did good things at Bayern. He’s an up-and-coming manager who has shown he can win titles, even if was unfortunate in the Champions League.
“He’d certainly be somebody you’d have a good feeling about. He knows how to play football, but it depends if he was backed. You need to back your manager for two or three seasons, and I don’t know if that’s the case at United.
“There’s a lot of chaos at Old Trafford. However, I don’t think Julian would be a bad choice. You don’t want to keep managers for the sake of it, but you need to at least give them a chance.”
Fernandes and Rashford backed
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford have been backed by ex-Chelsea star Joe Cole.
He told TNT Sports:
Rashford and Fernandes are both world class players. They’re outstanding footballers but they’re in a system that’s not allowing them to express their creative abilities. Rashford is the face of Manchester United and Bruno is the captain but I wouldn’t want my creative players to be the main leaders.”

Bruno Fernandes Saudi interest

Reporter Rudy Galetti has claimed the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund are exploring a deal for Fernandes
PIF, who are also majority shareholders at Newcastle, control stakes in the Saudi Pro League’s four biggest teams Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli.
It’s now suggested PIF representatives are set to hold talks with the playmaker’s entourage over the potential for future negotiations.
