Balletic and graceful but unflinchingly determined on the pitch, Old Trafford great was the player every young supporter aspired to be

Manchester United are making progress in talks over winger Antony’s proposed loan move to Real Betis. The Brazil international, 24, is yet to start a Premier League game this season and has made only seven substitute appearances in the competition.

Denis Law passed away, aged 84, as the Man United and Scotland great is fondly remembered by Leicester City manager and former Old Trafford favourite Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The death of Denis Law has led to a flood of tributes to the Manchester United and Scotland legend, who passed away at the age of 84

Amorim would like United to build up with a genuine three at the back, rather than the four it has been when protection is the first priority. At Anfield, United took the lead because Martinez sensed a moment to press high, snapping into Mohamed Salah to win the ball and then stay up to receive Fernandes’ slipped pass.

United may be 10 points above the drop zone, but more inconsistent performances that don't go their way could prove costly

Denis Law, the iconic former Manchester United striker and the only Scottish player to win the Ballon d’Or, has died at the age of 84, the club confirmed on Friday.

At Manchester United Law scored 236 goals in 393 games; third behind his team-mate Sir Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney on the all-time scoring list, and set club records for the most goals in the FA Cup (34 goals), which still stands, and in Europe with 28 goals in 33 games.

The Red Devils have been a dominant force in the Premier League era, but when did they last suffer the ignominy of dropping down a division?

Southampton put up a decent fight against Manchester United but Tyler Dibling went off with an ankle injury in the second half and if he is missing here then that is a massive blow.

Antony has been regularly linked with a move away from Old Trafford as he has failed to live up to his colossal £86million (€101.6m / $104.6m) price tag. But those rumours have accelerated in recent months following the sacking of Erik ten Hag, the manager who brought him to Man Utd.
