💥🇵🇹JORGE JESUS: "Everyone says we have the best midfield in the world. But where? At Paris Saint-Germain? At Man United? But with the national team, it's a completely different story.

I want all the players to understand that if they want to win, they have to pay the price. My idea of the game has nothing to do with what the idea was with the national team. Zero."

🇵🇹 JORGE JESUS: "Cris will never be a problem for the national team, nor for me.

Cris is a symbol of Portuguese football. Cris is a symbol of the national team. Cris is a symbol of Portugal.

It's very easy to work with him. He wants to continue at Al Nassr and will end his career at Al Nassr. I substituted Cris 16 times at Al Nassr.

Age doesn't affect players. Look at Cristiano. With me, he was covering 8 kilometers per match, at speeds exceeding 25 kilometers per hour.

And he would play when I saw that the team needed him, and when I decided to bring him on. Sometimes I didn't even include him on the substitutes' bench."

🚨🎙️ Javier Hernández on Manchester United fans writing off Andrey Santos:

🗣️ Presenter: Do you think Andrey Santos is a good signing for Manchester United?

🗣️ Hernandez: “How many Manchester United fans would have wanted Elliot Anderson when he was Newcastle’s fourth or fifth-choice midfielder just two years ago?

Probably not many.

Now he’s one of the first names on the teamsheet for both club and country.

Player development doesn’t always follow a straight line.

That’s why writing off Andrey Santos just because he couldn’t break into a Chelsea midfield ahead of Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo is wrong.

He’s simply behind world-class competition. That doesn’t mean he isn’t good enough.

Judge him by what he does in a Manchester United shirt, not by where he ranked in Chelsea’s midfield.”

🚨🎙️Benjamin Šeško on Bryan Mbeumo:

🗣️ “Oh, Bryan? He’d already been training before we arrived. I guess he wasn’t happy with how he finished last season and wants to do better. That’s the mentality in this team now—everyone is pushing to improve every single day.”

😳🚨Some say Andrey Santos hasn't proven himself in the Premier League yet... but his last four full 90-minute performances tell a different story. 🇧🇷🔥

There's a huge talent there, and in the right environment at , he could take his game to another level.

🚨JUST REVEALED!!

Benjamin Sesko reported for pre-season training on Thursday but did not feature in any imagery United released of their gym and outdoor sessions.

Manchester United prepared a special program for Sesko as part of his rehabilitation and he is now building up fitness to resume full training.

🚨🎙️ TNTSport commentator Adam Summerton on Kone:

🗣️"Drive is a word that often springs to mind for me re: Kone at his best - holding off challenges and carrying the ball.

"Can also play as more of a tempo setter and play the short game - like both Andrey Santos and Ederson there’s an all round nature to his game - energy, adaptability and versatility
a common theme with all three

"He’ll track midfield runners, win the ball - he’s energetic and athletic, the PL should be no problem for him in terms of physicality

"Can play incisive passes (remember one in particular to set up Malen last season) but could probably create more & score more - Gasperini said that if he scored more goals he’d not be at Roma.

"Varied experience for a player of 25, has already played in 3 of the top-five leagues

"Inter were strongly linked with him last summer

"Slight concern over his injury record - Roma really missed him in the periods he was out last season

"One of the very best midfielders in Serie A and a starter for France at the WC, lots to like"

😳🚨UPDATE!!

Manchester United face fresh competition for Felix Nmecha, with Liverpool urged to hijack the Red Devils' move for the £85.3m-rated Borussia Dortmund midfielder.
