  And on Friday, the  Manchester Evening News  reported Amir Ibragimov joined in with the senior stars despite his tender age. The rising star only turned 15 a few weeks ago. But he took to social media with a photo of his  United  training shorts and red adidas boots. He captioned the image: "1st team session," followed by a green tick. It is likely those who started on Thursday night at Tottenham, including Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, had a lighter session the day after the  2-2 draw in North London . Ibragimov is highly-rated within the United academy and seen as one of the hottest young talents, even posing for pictures with Sir Alex Ferguson. He was born in Russia then joined the Sheffield United youth set-up when his family moved to England. Since joining the Red Devils, though, he had captained the Under-14s and U15s. He will go through a scholarship at United and is eligible to sign a professional co...

  MANCHESTER United striker Marcus Rashford came to the aid of one of the world’s sexiest footballers on a night out He asked staff at a nightclub to usher Aston Villa’s  Swiss international   Alisha Lehmann, 24 , to his VIP section when she was mobbed by blokes as she arrived. A source at Chinawhite  Manchester  said of his gesture earlier this month: “ Marcus  cleared a table and invited her and her friends to join them. "It was the first time they’d met but he knew who Alisha was. “They exchanged a few words and she thanked him then they carried on partying with their separate sets of friends. "She thought he was a gent.” Alisha, who has  dated men and women  in the past, brought out her first raunchy calendar last Christmas. It is said to have caused friction with her ex  Luiz, 24 , before  they split . She is regularly described as one of the world’s hottest footballers - and boasts nearly 13 million fol...

   The Red Devils are determined to land England captain Kane — with Tottenham demanding £100million. And the Old Trafford club could soon be flush with cash if Sheikh Jassim, who wants Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar, buys the club in a £5.5BILLION takeover. 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...

FOOTIE fans likened a goalmouth scramble in Manchester United's Europa League clash with Sevilla to 'Sunday league' football. The Red Devils travelled to the Ramon Sanchez Pijuan stadium on Thursday night looking to progress to the semi-finals of the tournament. But they were under the cosh for large portions of the second leg of their quarter-final tie - which they ended up losing 5-2 on aggregate. And a scramble in front of David de Gea's goal in the 51st minute epitomised how badly United defended on the night. A blocked header from Youssef En-Nesyri sparked pandemonium inside United's six-yard box - with Lucas Ocampos having a shot blocked on the line. Two more Sevilla players dived in to try and bundle the ball home but were met with fierce resistance on the line from Diogo Dalot. And United eventually managed to clear their lines through Casemiro - although it wasn't long before they were back under pressure. Fans watching the game couldn't quite belie...

  The Red Devils completely collapsed in Sevilla, going down 3-0 to lose their Europa League quarter-final tie 5-2 on aggregate. Ten Hag said: “We have to face it that we let ourselves down and let the fans down and if you want to win trophies if you want to be successful you need character. “Tonight was not good enough it was obvious, it was clear, we didn’t match the standards you can expect from a team from Manchester United.” Ten Hag was asked if the most disappointing thing was the lack of fight in his team. He said: “I have to acknowledge, it is the truth, it is hard, it is tough. It can’t be, it is unacceptable We have to start games better with more desire and when you get a setback you have to deal with it and carry on “We have to be better and it is not about playing skills, it is about character and being composed and have desire and passion. "We lost the battles, they had more passion, more desire, more willingness. "It can’t be and I think it is unacceptable.

  ERIK TEN HAG has hailed No 1 David de Gea as the “complete goalkeeper” despite his Manchester United contract stand-off. The  Red Devils  boss is determined the club reach an agreement with the Spanish shot stopper to keep him beyond this season. De Gea , 32, has been at Old Trafford for 12 years after joining from Atletico Madrid. His current contract runs out this summer and United want to reduce his wages from £375,000 a week to £200,000 but the player is refusing to sign. Ahead of United’s Europa League quarter-final second leg  against Sevilla  on Thursday night,  Ten Hag  said: “David is a really multi-functional and complete goalkeeper. We are very happy with him.’’ The Dutchman also highlighted how important De Gea is amid the keeper’s uncertain future and question marks over his distribution. He said: “Everyone has their own particular style and nowadays in possession, it becomes more important, especially at the top lev...

 Manchester United take on Sevilla at Old Trafford in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final on Thursday night. United have already defeated Barcelona and Real Betis, who are above Sevilla in the La Liga table, in the Europa League this season and they are heavy favourites to win the competition for the second time since it was rebranded. United looked to be in cruise control in the quarter-final clash thanks to Marcel Sabitzer's double. Sevilla have struggled this term and they sit in the bottom half of La Liga. They recently sacked Jorge Sampaoli and Jose Luis Mendilibar, who has managed multiple teams in Spain throughout his career, has taken charge. United had never previously beaten Sevilla but they went in front on the quarter-hour mark when Sabitzer collected a pass from Bruno Fernandes, spun defender Marcao and finished powerfully from 15 yards. Sabitzer doubled his tally moments later with a cool one-on-one finish past keeper Bono following a defense-splitting pa...
