Regaining top spot straight away

Manchester United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer revealed after last night's win at Fulham that he could not find anywhere for his team to train ahead of the game.

United travelled to London on Tuesday and would normally have had a light session on the day of the game.

However, with coronavirus restrictions in place across the capital, no suitable venue was available, which Solskjaer thinks explained their slow start.

"Don’t blame the players if it takes a while to get started sometimes," he said.

"In the time in history we are living in, it is not easy.

"We were looking for a pitch to train and couldn’t find anywhere, so I would not blame the players for starting slowly."

Just read this, didn't notice it yesterday.

"Paul can do more or less everything asked of a midfielder, now he is putting it all together in the same performances," said the United boss.

"I would say he is the fittest he has been. Physically he is in very good shape and he is mentally very happy."

Also that on Pogba too.

Good to hear!

Read between the lines Michael, he’s saying Pogba hates United and wants out ASAP, so is playing well to secure a bid

It would be mad if pogba hit his best ever form only to leave in the summer. Usually that'd increase the fee but with his contract running down and covid, that may not be the case.

If he did sparkle and then jump ship I'd be interested to see if he goes from hero to zero in United fans eyes.
Certainly seems like he can't stay with united/agree a new deal AND stay with his current agent.

If all parties want it, the agent issues will be quickly forgotten, i reckon.

I’m not sure too many consider him a hero, or would do even if he continued his current form through the end of the season.

Is this your first day here?

Most folk pick their heroes and villains and a match by match basis.

If Poggy helped us to a title, even Red Indian would have a small smile and say he was quite good.

Apparently SE85 hailed Cavani as his South American Hero yesterday.
