The supporters were clamouring " we want winger out" It was the 34th minute, their team was 2-0 down to Chris Hughton’s well-drilled Brighton & Hove Albion and all they could do was conclude that Arsène Wenger’s time was up. Brighton performed well. They weaken Arsenal’s defensiveness, within which the goalkeeper, Petr Cech, was a glaring culprit and they might have had more during a period when Arsenal were gripped by indecision and nervousness. On the back of goals from Lewis Dunk and Glenn Murray, this was a win that reinforced the sense that Brighton are staying up with a degree of comfort.Their dreadful away form continues and the st...

RASHFORD NEED TO EMULATE HIS TEAMMATES SUCCESS TO FORCE MOURINHO INTO PLAYING HIM

Rashford made his Manchester United debut against FC Midtjylland in February 2016 after being promoted to the starting line-up because of an injury to Anthony Martial in the warm-up.

Incredibly, Rashford has not started a Premier League game since Boxing Day and, having started United’s last two FA Cup ties, may hope to get a run-out against Huddersfield this weekend.
