This was the Norwegian's response. No, it doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve got the best job in the world. If you’re in a job, or if you’re out of a job and you’re a manager, you want this job. It doesn’t really matter whatever happens around. I’ve got to focus on my job at Man United and do it as well as I can.

once caldas host patriots in this Colombian league fixture. The league has just commenced and only a few games have been played but however a trend has emerged whereby boyaca the away team have not recorded a win in their last 5 encounters but instead recorded 3 losses while on the other hand once caldas have not lost a game in their last 5 encounters but come into this game with 4 draws which puts some doubt in their ability to win .I predict that at least 2 scores will be scored within this match score margin will be above 2

Barclays also sponsor the FA Women's Super League and FA Girls' Football School Partnerships. Norway's other prospect. Erling Braut Haaland’s tally of 26 goals in 18 games for Red Bull Salzburg this season has seen the striker linked with Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid. But the 19-year-old is not the only Norwegian making headlines, with a midfielder back home attracting interest from clubs across Europe.
Everything that could have gone right for the Magpies did in that game and it looked like that form was going to continue on Wednesday, as misfortune in the shape of Ritchie's injury immediately turned into a positive courtesy of Gayle's tidy finish - his first Premier League goal in 773 days. The assist for that goal also came from a man making a quick impact, with Andy Carroll's pass coming just four minutes and 51 seconds after he had been sent on by Steve Bruce.

It is quite a new experience for me, as two of my boys are of school age,” said the 42-year-old. I’m really enjoying spending time with my wife and boys, which is something I don’t get chance to do normally, so I’m trying to look at this positively. We’ve been in the garden kicking the ball around which has been great. I remember as a kid just wanting to kick a ball, score a goal, imagining being in the FA Cup final.
TALKING POINT - Barcelona simply can’t allow Arturo Vidal to leave in January In the end, Barcelona gave themselves too much work to do after a first half which could have seen them concede more than once. The match changed with the introduction of Vidal at the break, with the Chilean scoring Barca’s second goal.
Paris have been slightly below their usual level away from home this season but they always excel against Monaco and that's exactly what we're backing here. Monaco have 18 goals in their last seven games though so we expect them to maim the champions here. Both teams have scored in each of Monaco's last seven home games and in four of Paris' last five away games so we're also backing that market in this one. We're still predicting a heavy PSG win despite Monaco's home form though. 3-1 to PSG.
View more on twitterView more on twitterView more on twitterWhat fans made of it allPaul Murphy: Remember when we all laughed when United signed Ighalo? Michal Koziol: Everyone who said Ighalo wasn't the calibre United need should look at that goal over and over again. The first touch, the control, the power, everything perfect. Such a shame the stadium's empty. Nicholas Mills: Anything about this Ighalo loan spell reminding anyone of Henrik Larsson.
Inter have scored at least two goals in their last three home matches. Brescia are without a win in their last 13 Serie A matches. Inter are unbeaten in five matches against Brescia. Inter are undefeated in 18 of their last 20 Serie A matches. Inter Milan aim to keep their faint title hopes alive when they host Brescia in Serie A on Wednesday night.
The same cannot be said of their home form in the competition though; they have not lost in any of their last seven while they have one loss in the last 16 Copa Libertadores matches at home. River Plate have also managed five clean sheets in six Libertadores matches at home. They have scored two or more goals in four of five home matches in the competition.
There's a long, long way to go, but we'll keep striving to keep improving and getting success for this club. The contract extension was announced on the same day that manager Jurgen Klopp signed a new deal of his own until 2024 and Milner quipped: "Obviously the gaffer waited to sign his dependent on whether I signed mine, so that makes me a feel bit more important!"Milner made his Premier League debut aged 16 for Leeds in 2002 and is sixth in the all-time appearances list.
Are they Europa League 'class'? No, I don't think they are but they have certainly enhanced the Premier League. Leicester have Vardy up front and Evans at the back. The Blades lack that touch of class. Did you know? In Leicester's clash with Sheffield United, Evans made more passes (67) than any other player on the park and was involved in 15 duels as the Foxes won with a clean sheet. Midfield - Jack Grealish (Aston Villa), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd), David Silva (Man City), Son Heung-min (Spurs) Grealish: I can't imagine the anguish Jack Grealish must be going through.
Frustratingly though, particularly for the Cherries supporters, their team came to life at 3-0 down, largely due to Harry Wilson's endeavour. The 22-year-old Wales midfielder, who was surprisingly omitted from the starting XI, signalled his intent with a shot on goal a minute after being brought on. His trademark free-kick, which flew into the top right corner from 20 yards, ensured that no other Premier League players has scored more goals from outside the penalty area this season.
Former England midfielder Paul Merson says he hopes to help people struggling with their mental health by revealing that his own battle left him wanting to take his own life. Kick-offs at this weekend's FA Cup third-round matches will be delayed for 60 seconds to prompt fans to consider their wellbeing. Merson, 51, says he has been sober for a year after dealing with alcoholism. Now I know I have an illness.
We also expect Leipzig to face no trouble in front of goal in this game. Leipzig are currently the Bundesliga's top scorers. They have scored a total of 36 goals in 13 Bundesliga games this season. They have scored at least three goals in each of their last four Bundesliga games.
Manchester United's Paul Pogba says he is "more hungry" to succeed after missing most of the season with injury. The France international, 27, has not played since 26 December, having suffered a further setback following an early-season foot problem. Pogba told the United Podcast he has been "frustrated for a long time" but will resume training when the club return after the coronavirus pandemic. I'm almost there; I'm just thinking about training with the team," he said.
And I think this sort of last year has been that, you know, the joy of promotion and now, the sort of fight for Premier League survival. Norwich won the Championship (second-tier) last season but are bottom of the top-flight standings seven points adrift of the safety zone after Saturday's 4-0 loss at Manchester United.
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says it was "refreshing" to see striker Oli McBurnie supporting Swansea City in their draw at Cardiff despite the striker being warned over his conduct. Former Swansea player McBurnie, 23, was spoken to by the Football Association after being seen making an obscene gesture during last weekend's fixture. Wilder says the warning was "quite right" and has also spoken to McBurnie.
He said: "There are a lot of teams at the top who are looking tired. Then you look at Liverpool and the way they came back to win late at Crystal Palace. We don't think about these things'A huge sigh of relief could be heard around Anfield when referee Martin Atkinson sounded the final whistle on Saturday. Liverpool had the points and Klopp joined his players on the pitch to applaud the fans - the German preferring to concentrate on the positives afterwards.
In the 11 days since Marco Silva left the club, the Everton board has been working to recruit a new permanent manager – and has held meetings with a number of candidates,” the club said in a statement on Monday night. We can confirm that thus far no contract offer has been made and no candidate has chosen to withdraw from the process.
Whether he was pushing his players up, or dragging them back, they did exactly what he asked them to do. A masterclass from Atletico "Atletico lined up in a 4-4-2 formation but Koke always tracked Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson so he was sometimes playing as a right-sided full-back in a back five. If not, he was pushing inside, on to Georginio Wijnaldum," said Stephen Warnock. Saul Niguez went high and tight on Fabinho, and there were times when Atletico were almost going man-for-man and leaving a three versus three situation at the back, although reinforcements were never far away.
A little is due, perhaps, for them recognising their mistake – whatever their motivation, and it would admittedly be very naive to assume their motivation was altruistic and not just a PR consideration – but not too much. You don’t praise a burglar for putting your TV back. But it’s a welcome step nonetheless for a club who sell themselves on being a community institution, and on Bill Shankly’s socialism.
Solskjaer said: "It’s very easy to compare the two of them, yes. Both with skills, body shape, attitude, attributes – everything. The boy has every chance in the world to become a top, top player. Let’s hope he continues like this. Seuuuu!"Getty Images 10:30 - Feet up, Lionel Lionel Messi was a surprise absentee from Barcelona's Champions League squad this week - and manager Ernesto Valverde had some explaining to do at his press conference.

The national stadium's famous arch will be lit up at 8pm this evening to send a message of thanks to the stars of our healthcare system as they engage in the match of a lifetime with coronavirus. Major sporting venues and landmarks are joining the #lightitblue campaign, which has been organised by a collective of leaders from the events and entertainment industry.
He wants Ashley Young, then they get him Ashley Young. He wants Victor Moses, then they have a quiet conversation among themselves and Google ‘Who is Victor Moses?’, but then gosh darn it they will go out and get Victor Moses. It’s easy to see why they might be acquiescing to his every demand: he’s made them a serious football team after years of not being a very serious football team, despite their recent wobble in form, but it still doesn’t seem entirely sensible to have one man pulling the strings this much.
We've worked really hard on Espanyol to find the details that we think our players need to do a good game and compete well. TEAM NEWSWolves have no new injury worries. Wing-back Ruben Vinagre remains sidelined with a hamstring problem he suffered in the FA Cup defeat by Manchester United on 15 January. He is out, but he is really close to returning and joining the group again," said Nuno. Espanyol will be without January signing Raul de Tomas, who has scored five goals in five games for them.
The first one is that the allegations are false," said Soriano. And the second is that we will do everything that can be done to prove so. The stakes are high' - why Man City v Uefa is a watershed momentThe independent Adjudicatory Chamber of the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) said it had found City had broken the rules by "overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to Uefa between 2012 and 2016", adding that the club "failed to cooperate in the investigation".
Media playback is not supported on this device Premier League archive 2018-19: Crystal Palace 5-3 Bournemouth All it takes is one or two of their players to be thinking 'let's just get these games out of the way' for the whole team's level to drop off. I would not expect that to happen with Roy Hodgson in charge but you cannot be completely sure until you see them play. As for the Cherries, well they tend to go on very good - or very bad - runs of results but who knows how they will start this mini-season, which is what this is now.
This weekend they play at Borussia-Park, a fortress in the German top flight this season. No team has a better home record than a Gladbach side that has won eight of the ten games played on their patch. Peering for cracks will have you looking into the distance; those two failed attempts at winning came at the start of the campaign.
Confidence has undoubtedly been shaken by the French government's decision to put elite sport on hold until September, along with the warnings of medical experts and player representatives about the health risks of rushing back into action. Some clubs are worried the sporting integrity of the competition could be compromised if only certain venues are used and they play fewer games at their home ground than their rivals.
Lionel Messi reacts after winning the Ballon d'Or France Football 2019 trophy at the Chatelet Theatre in Paris on December 2, 2019Getty Images The current global situation, however, means the award's scope will be even more focused on off-the-pitch impact. Who will be the most influential player? Whose actions have been the most significant this year? At the moment, surely this means Jordan Henderson must be in the running.
Strasbourg have drawn two of their last four matches with PSG. PSG have scored in all of their away matches in Ligue 1 this season. Strasbourg have failed to score more than one goal in five of their last six matches. Sandwiched in between two huge cup games, Paris Saint-Germain travel to Strasbourg for Ligue 1 action this weekend.
He would leave before that attempted defence was complete, shocking the club by resigning on 22 February 1991, with them three points clear at the top of the table. A combination of caretaker boss Ronnie Moran and permanent successor Graeme Souness were unable to retain the top-flight trophy, which instead went to Arsenal. In total, Liverpool have had nine permanent managers since the start of the 1990-91 season.
Belshina have not won their last six games this season. In those games they have lost four which were against gorodeja, Minsk, Vitebsk and isloch. They will face dinamo brest who have a poor start of the season after losing three of their last six games. They are above relegation places. They faced shakhtyor soligorsk in the cup on Wednesday and lost by four goals despite leading by two goals in the first half.
While the improvement of Notts County heading into this fixture is not to be ignored, the strength of the hosts just simply overwhelms every other stat. They have won each of their last six home matches and managed to score two or more in the process. Meanwhile, they boast the strongest defensive record in the division with just 27 goals conceded to date. With this in mind, it is hard to pick anything other than the hosts coming out on top in this fixture.
The most sensible thing to do is to forget about the performance at Vicarage Road. They made uncharacteristic errors in defence, playing too high a line and being second best to the ball. Even Virgil van Dijk proved he is human after all with his defending for Watford's first two goals. The only player who enhanced his reputation was the injured Joe Gomez who the Reds sorely missed.
NO! Kodro is played through, composes himself inside the box and then lashes a finish past Courtois into the roof of the Real Madrid net, but he was JUST offside and the goal is chalked off. CROSSBAR! Real Madrid strike the woodwork for the second time! It was Nacho who with his first touch after coming on powers a header from a corner off the crossbar! So close to an instant impact! 88’ WOODWORK HIT FOR A THIRD TIME! It's just not going in for Real Madrid this evening.
