Xabi Alonso: “Emegha is IN the squad.
“He has special qualities and now he is fully fit. Gradually we want to see him, and maybe tomorrow he will have the chance to play.” #CFC

Chelsea increasingly confident of signing Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott in January.
Scott is Chelsea’s top target after Enzo Fernandez’s left for Manchester City on deadline day over the summer.
Bournemouth want £100m+ and Xabi Alonso’s side are already in fresh talks having made multiple bids over the summer.
Liverpool also hold an interest in Scott, but have less urgency to add a midfielder in January. Monaco's Lamine Camara, who Chelsea failed to sign on deadline day, and Roma's Manu Kone are two other targets.🍒

Saturday was hard to swallow but I’ve just seen the abuse given to #LeviColwill by so called Chelsea fans > 🤡🤡s
Can I suggest they take their boots to Cobham or Stamford Bridge & show the rest of us how good they are with a football before they slag off the professionals

Michael Carrick ignores every single #mufc player as he goes to the away end to apologise at full-time. Then marches straight down the tunnel. He looks furious [@TyMarshall_MEN]

"It's such a bad result and such a bad performance, it could have serious repercussions I think for the manager."

🚨🗣️ Bruno Fernandes calling out Carrick & the backroom staff: "It's a decision from the staff to not press man to man and sometimes leave space behind and try to get the ball, wait for them, but sometimes when you give space to these teams they get confidence."
🗣️ Bruno on whether he is saying Michael Carrick got his tactics wrong: "That's on the manager and staff to see, not me. Sometimes you have to be more brave under pressure, take the risk of pressing high and making them uncomfortable. As you saw with them [Como], the centre-back was coming to mark me in my own half. We need to do that as a team but we were unable to."
🗣️ Bruno: "A team that plays through the middle with small connections, if you give them too much time and space then they can hurt you out wide."
