Until now I was maybe too nice to him. Solskjaer should just remember things that he said in the summer to Paul. I think Solskjaer may be frustrated for different reasons and is now mixing up some issues. I think that Solskjaer has other things to worry about. Pogba has only made eight appearances for United this season and just two since September.
All hail the King. Denis Law, always in the conversation when talk turns to the greatest Scottish player of all time, is 80 today. Law is best remembered as part of the famous Manchester United trinity alongside George Best and Bobby Charlton. A Ballon d'Or winner in 1964, he won 55 caps for Scotland, scoring 30 international goals. Here BBC Scotland takes a look at the moments that defined the Aberdonian's stellar career.
Real Madrid look to Aubameyang if Haaland move fails - Paper Round Man Utd 'increasingly confident' over £135m Saul Niguez signing - Paper Round Premier League plans 'World Cup style' finish to season - reports MONDAY’S BIG STORIES Harry Kane: Heading for the exit door? Harry Kane has told Sky Sports that he loves Spurs, but, rightly, and, given his talent, understandably, he is edging closer to loving the concept of winning a trophy more than Spurs.
Fulham had chances to win it too with Bobby Decordova-Reid flashing an effort across the six-yard box, while substitute Ivan Cavaleiro curled a powerful shot narrowly over from 18 yards. However, their failure to secure all three points hands Leeds the chance to open up a five-point lead over one of their promotion rivals when they entertain Reading on Saturday. A second successive home 1-1 draw also does little for Derby's hopes of staging a late run to the play-offs, with the Rams now eight points off a top-six spot having now played a game more than the sides above them.
Pressure now on Spurs? After Liverpool's U-turn, Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust have urged their club to reverse the decision to furlough 550 non-playing staff. The Warm-Up Liverpool do the right thing, but let’s not praise them too much. Read Nick Miller's Warm-Up here.

There was also a bit of stage fright. We were too inhibited,” said Giggs in his autobiography. I hate to say it, but the occasion got to us a bit. He wasn’t the only one who felt that way. We never turned up for the final,” said Cole in the Manchester Evening News. I was very disappointed with my performance.
After suffering relegation from League 1 last term and coming into the season with a strong squad on paper, Plymouth were pencilled in as promotion favourites before the campaign began. Just 3 points behind the automatic promotion spots with a game in hand, the hosts are certainly in the mix and will want to kick on in the second half of the season.
The fact is that we really don’t know much,” Ceferin explained. We are waiting for the development of this terrible situation in the world, and mainly in Europe. It is still better to play the game behind closed doors and have it on TV, which is what the people need and want because it brings positive energy to their homes, than not playing at all. That’s what the people want, that brings positive energy, and it will be July or August.

Eibar's home La Liga match against Real Sociedad on Sunday has been postponed because of "high levels of chemical compounds detected in the air" around the Ipurua Municipal Stadium. A landfill site near Eibar collapsed on 6 February causing fires and trapping two workers, who are still missing. The Basque government has recommended people not "perform outdoor sports activity" in nearby towns. A new date for the game will announced by Tuesday.

Lampard warns Chelsea stars they are playing for their future Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has called for his players to bounce back from the Blues’ defeat to Everton on Saturday and has not ruled out new arrivals in the January transfer window. Chelsea recently had their FIFA transfer ban lifted and the 3-1 loss at Goodison Park has sparked suggestions the Stamford Bridge side could enter the market for reinforcements.
Diego Costa marked his first Atletico Madrid goal of 2020 by paying tribute to Virginia Torrecilla - a midfielder for their women's team - who had surgery for a brain tumour. Costa celebrated equalising in a draw with Athletic Bilbao by holding a shirt with Torrecilla's name and number. Torrecilla had a successful operation to remove a brain tumour in May. Bilbao captain Iker Muniain had opened the scoring in the 37th minute only for Costa to level two minutes later.

Some Brentford fans vented their frustrations at head coach Thomas Frank's selection before the game but the players on show did their club proud, while the men who missed out will undoubtedly feature in Tuesday's huge league match against fellow promotion chasers Nottingham Forest. For Leicester, though, it was a case of getting the job done for Rodgers' second-string side and that is exactly what they did - negotiating a tricky cup tie while resting a number of key players before their EFL Cup semi-final second leg on Tuesday.
What is most interesting about this game is the fact that one month ago they were playing in the same Svenska Cupen group stage and met here at Kalmar who remain a first league club in Sweden despite needing to play a play-out for avoiding relegation last season, and the winner in that cup game was by far Kalmar who won the game no less than 5-0 in the end and it was already by the 30 minute of the game 4-0 in their favor, and even more back than odds were 1.75 on Kalmar to simply win the game, now they are 1.40 but I suggest taking high handicap bets on the hosts here.

This is a perfect opportunity for Jose Mourinho to get his team firing again. Norwich have the worst away record in the Premier League and, to go with that, the worst goal difference on the road (-15). Tottenham are still capable of carving out chances. We expect them to take some and to keep a clean sheet in a home win.
The match was the last of United’s 11-day trilogy. On 16 May, they beat Spurs 2-1 at Old Trafford to win the Premier League title, pipping an utterly magnificent Arsenal team by a point. On 22 May, four days before Barcelona, they beat Newcastle 2-0 in the FA Cup final. The disparity between the sides was such it felt like a pre-European Cup final friendly.
Javi Eraso missed a gilt-edged chance to restore Leganes' lead midway through the half, and Barca took full advantage in the 80th-minute when substitute Vidal was left unmarked to poke home Ousmane Dembele's corner delivery. He looked to be well offside with VAR but the ball was deflected into his path off midfielder Ruben Perez.
On the road, Fleetwood's efforts have been so-so. They've won two, drawn one and lost four, scoring 13 and conceding 13 in the process. They've certainly made an impact going forward, but they've struggled to be as defensively solid as they've often been at Highbury Stadium. Just one clean sheet is all Barton's side have mustered away from home this term. If they're to seriously challenge for the top six, they may need to improve in that department.

Amiens are in poor form with only 1 win in the last 15 games. In the last 8 games they have also scored a total of only 4 goals. At home Amiens are the second worst team in the league with a 3-4-5 record.

Mourinho replaced Mauricio Pochettino as Spurs manager in November but has endured a mixed start in north London, guiding the club to just one win in their last five Premier League matches. The Portuguese was sacked from his previous two jobs - at Manchester United and Chelsea - and has been criticised for his tactics in recent months.
The visitors have installed Eugenio Corini as their new manager, less than a month after sacking him. Brescia lost every game since sacking him and turning to Fabio Grosso, so they are hoping that the boss can turn things around. He led them to promotion last season, but both he and Grosso struggled to get Brescia competitive at this level.
It is the round 31 of the Czech Republic 1 Liga relegation group where Teplice who is number 2 will be hosting Karvina who is number 4 in the group. Karvina have never won against Teplice at home and I expect them here to not win. Karvina won in the regular season 3:0 from home. They can do it here as well.

What’s more, they’re in excellent form and face a relatively favourable festive fixture list. Leicester’s 2-0 win over Brighton last weekend made it six wins on the bounce for them, including an incredible 9-0 demolition of Southampton just over a month ago. That was one of four clean sheets in this period, and the eight goals they have conceded so far this season leaves them with the best defensive record in the top flight.
Arteta came to Arsenal after time served under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, who are among the best when it comes to sending their full-backs forward and finding space wide and high up the pitch. There was none of that and, as a result, Arsenal became passive in their performance. They were waiting for something to happen instead of making something happen. Newcastle had two days fewer off during their mid-season break but looked the fresher side, counter-attacking with real intent - and in winger Allan Saint-Maximin they had the game's most dangerous player.
Especially for a forward who was previously being touted for around half the price. Lyon's president Jean-Michel Aulas is a notoriously tough negotiator, but his asking price in January seems more like a plan to keep his star forward at the club for the remainder of the season. The Express reveal that Dembele is "strongly interested in playing for Manchester United" which means that they could still hold hope for a summer deal.
The next game takes us to Romania. Here are Astra and Metan opposite. The host is on the 4th table gap. With 31 points. The guest has 27 points and is on the 5th place in the table. The host is very strong at home. Here you have won 4 out of 5 games. The guest has won only one game and lost only one game. Due to the home strength of the host, I think that the host will prevail. In addition, the away guest is weaker, here they have lost three of 5 games. That's why I'm counting on a win for the host.
This match is probably the safest for goals from all duels in Portugal U23 league today and if we know that first two matches in this league, from 12:00 where not too efficient, than it is clear that this one probably will be better, from that side. So, Portimonense U23 is team who is in last two matches played both times with three or more goals, 2-1 and 4-0, while on the other side, Vitoria Setubal U23 is in last three matches played 1-3, 3-0 and 4-0. Yes, after this results, over is more than ok for me and I will try.
Budge has mooted the idea of league reconstruction, where the top flight would expand from 12 teams to 14, taking in the top two in the Championship. But Uefa sent a letter to national associations warning European places could be under threat if leagues are called early. The Uefa statement doesn’t help, trying to apply pressure," McInnes added. The self-interest there is clear. I don’t think any federation should be penalised for doing what’s fair and right for their country, including ours.
This clash brings together the two new arrivals in the Championship, with Michael O’Neill taking Stoke to Cardiff in his third game as boss. In the opposite dugout Neil Harris is making his home debut with the Bluebirds, while he is chasing his first victory with his new side. Following their 2-2 draw at Charlton in his first game, there are positives for Cardiff to take.
Espanyol appeared doomed for further failure after Mata's goal just three minutes in for Getafe at RCDE Stadium last weekend, but Periquitos found a way back into the contest thanks to Wu Lei's strike on the brink of half time. Pablo Machin's side grew in confidence during the second half and were the better team for large parts of the final 45 minutes, but they failed to break through again meaning the spoils were shared at full time.
Of course, you can't replicate having 23, 24, 25 players in your back garden and get out what you want to but you have to adapt, I think like everybody has," said Ward-Prowse on the situation. The club has been very good at making sure we have our programmes and the equipment needed to fulfil our gym programmes. Everybody has adhered to that so far. It's different, of course, but we have to make the most of the situation and just be prepared for whenever we go back because none of us knows exactly when that will be yet.
For a while it seemed like Chelsea would turn on the style against a Hull side who were caught in the headlights in the first half, but the Londoners were incredibly wasteful. Ross Barkley and Mason Mount were the key culprits, missing one-on-ones with Hull keeper George Long, who pulled off some vital stops.

The closest outcome for this duel should be draw, with small result and less goal chances on both teams. However, since Union is in poor form at the national league and has to play in Copa Sudamericana recently, this team should not pull from all power on this game, and may take the one with combined squad.
The Argentine made an emotional connection with Spurs fans, who warmed to him and his personality. Mourinho is not interested in warmth and emotion - only results. He is also ruthless and pragmatic - which brings us neatly on to his style of play. Tottenham supporters bought into the fast-paced, intense, pressing style of Pochettino's teams. They have been attractive to watch while moving into Europe's elite group.
