Sad news: Man Utd striker Marcus Rashford will sit out Galatasaray’s pivotal Champions League encounter

On Friday, UEFA confirmed Marcus Rashford’s one-match punishment, meaning he will miss Manchester United’s Champions League match at Galatasaray next week.

Rashford was shown the red card for “rough play” after he tackled Elias Jelert in Manchester United’s 4-3 loss to Copenhagen earlier this month. Even though United manager Erik ten Hag called it “harsh,” UEFA confirmed referee Donatas Rumsas’s decision following a video assistant referee review.

It always appears worse when frozen, in my opinion. Such judgments disappoint me greatly. Ten Hag claimed at the time that this was never intended for the game. “Football is completely irrelevant.”

The three-time European champion’s ambitions in the competition would be dashed if they lose to Galatasaray on Wednesday.

Ten Hag is holding out hope that Rasmus Hojlund, the Danish striker who strained a muscle against Luton just before the international break, will be able to play. The decision on his fitness will be made on Saturday, therefore he might return for Sunday’s Premier League match against Everton.

Manchester United willing to pay €60m release clause to sign La Liga defender

Because of injuries, Erik ten Hag has struggled mightily this season in defense, but players like Raphael Varane aren’t exactly ripe for replacement any time soon.

Manchester United are ‘ready to pay’ the estimated €60 million release clause in Robin Le Normand’s contract, according to Spanish source Nacional.

It is common knowledge that United will be actively seeking a center back in the next 2024–25 transfer window. The goal of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s recruitment team will be to make a positive impression on the club.Nevertheless, according to the Spanish newspaper, United had expressed interest in Le Normand throughout the summer, but Sociedad refused to deal in order to retain the defender.Although the number of defenders linked to United can be difficult to keep track of, we will continue to monitor these stories.

Erik ten Hag can choose from three central defenders—Vicious Lindelof, Raphael Varane, and Harry Maguire—when United face Everton this weekend. Post a comment below letting us know your prediction for the winner.
