Manchester United hold players-only meeting after 'unacceptable' defeat



  Frustrated Manchester United players held a meeting without manager Erik ten Hag after they were humbled in a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United on Sunday, said defender Luke Shaw, who gave a brutally honest assessment of his team.


I'm not going to go too much into that, but the players had a bit of a chat in the changing room after with no staff around," Shaw told Sky Sports after the match. "Because it's down to us players on the pitch, and it was nowhere near good enough.

"We had to speak out in front of each other."

Newcastle leapfrogged Man United into third in the Premier League standings, and exacted a measure of revenge over their visitors after a 2-0 loss to them in the League Cup final in February.

"We were disappointed with the final," said Callum Wilson, who along with Joe Willock scored Newcastle's goals on Sunday at St James' Park. "It left a sour taste in our mouth. We had to put it right in front of our fans."

ERIK TEN HAG has told Manchester United chiefs: Get me a No9.

   The Red Devils are determined to land England captain Kane — with Tottenham demanding £100million.

SunSport understands United stars are desperate for the Glazer family to sell up to end the negative atmosphere and boost their squad with world-class signings. United fans sang about signing Kane in their 2-2 draw at Spurs on Thursday — after their boss Ten Hag had called him “a great player and personality”. And now Ten Hag says:  “Everyone knows and it is not a secret that long-term and over a whole season we had a shortage of No9s. “We had the drop out of [Cristiano] Ronaldo, then Anthony Martial was often not available, Jadon Sancho often not available, then you have a shortage of front line players. “We have players who can play the role but definitely we need some offensive players who are impact and qual...

Crystal Palace planning huge summer transfer overhaul with Man Utd and Chelsea stars targeted and Zaha future in doubt...

CRYSTAL PALACE are preparing to spend big in the summer to reboot their long-term plan after sacking Patrick Vieira. Vieira had replaced Hodgson in 2021 as they looked to move to the new level, investing in a number of younger more attacking players. After a successful first season, including an FA Cup semi-final, Vieira failed to kick on in South London and Palace are preparing another push this summer. There have been tensions in the boardroom over the level of spending in recent windows, with some feeling more should have been done to help Vieira in January. However, there is a feeling everyone is close to being on the same page ahead of the summer. And while there is also a new manager to appoint, with Hodgson currently in the gig until the end of the season, a list of targets are being drawn up. The Eagles are keen to bring in new faces along the entire back four, to cover and compete with their existing options. Academy product Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who joined Manchester United in ...
