Erik Ten Hag responds to question on Mason Greenwood's return

By -
It's a question everyone wants answers and as Manchester United fans, you can't be any eager to know when or if Mason Greenwood will ever return to play for the club.


21year old Greenwood has not feature for United since last doing so on January 22, 2022 in the Premier League, when a Marcus Rashford's late goal helped the club to a 1-0 victory in Old Trafford.

The English attacker, who played 129 times for the club's first team, scoring 29 goals was charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior, and section 47 assault of a woman.

He was arrested a few days after his final game for United in January 2022 following the emergence of videos and images on social media and has since been away from the team as well as the club in general.

United boss, Erik ten Hag when asked about the player in his latest interview says; "Mason Greenwood has shown in the past that he is capable of doing that [scoring]” 

However, the Dutchman emphasises it is not his decision as to whether Greenwood returns to the club.

Ralf Rangnick proffered a permanent solution but United choose to make more casualties with Erik Ten Hag

Ralf Rangnick appeared to have unraveled the puzzle at Manchester United during his short stint as the club's interim manager but the hierarchy did not take heed to his priceless advice. Albeit the German did not enjoy the best of time in the helm of affairs in Old Trafford, Rangnick, who had proven to be more of a administrative minded man prior to his appointment at the club did left blueprints that could have healed the club completely. Looking back and you'll realize it could have been more worth it had speculations of him becoming the club's Director after leaving the Coaching role come to pass. Even in his early days as a professional football coach, Rangnick did not have a reputation of thriving when the stake is high but he flourishes more in an environment that gives him the avenue to build from scratch. The notion was proven truth during his time at Stuttgart, Hannover and even Schalke, where he helped all these teams finesse nightmares into glamour. His appointme

A sign of what is to come but no excuse for Chelsea's late capitulation in the London derby

By -

Chelsea ended a run of three straight home defeats to Arsenal in an enthralling London derby match in the Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening. While many will see it as a positive omen for the host, which is rightly so, it was very poor game management by both the players and the manager to allow the visitors snatch a point later on the night. Arsenal was there for the taking. It was the worst display by Mikel Arteta's side in recent years and despite having a two goal cushion, Mauricio Pochettino's side were unable to see out the win from a very comfortable position. Cole Palmer and Mykaylo Mudryk continue to show signs of finally settling into their rhythm under Mauricio Pochettino, much to the delight of the home support as the Blues were all over their rival from the North for the first 70 minutes in the Bridge. Both players also scored in either half, with Mykaylo Mudryk scoring his first ever Chelsea goal in the Stamford Bridge with a wonderful cross-cum-shot, which caugh
