That seems on Brand.

I enjoyed that Champions League match a lot - they will take that first 15 mins and think they were in the game and only small margins denied them, but really Bayern were toying with them and always had another gear

Never a penalty though - I really don't understand the handball rule any more

That was a **** penalty call, that close to the body shouldn't be called at all. Especially as the arm wasn't moving away from the body, where the **** else is it supposed to be?

Not still at Utd but hasn't modified to non Utd behaviour yet.

Jesse Lingard has apologised for 'putting the lives of others at risk' after he admitted drink-driving in his £200,000 Lamborghini.

The former Manchester United and England star, 30, was today fined a week's wages - £57,000 - for being more than twice over the legal limit.

Manchester Magistrates' Court heard how Lingard was driving in Sale, Greater Manchester, on July 8, this year, when he was stopped by a police.

Tara Riley, prosecuting, said that an officer who was following his Lamborghini Uris became aware it was being driven at speed.

The officer's 'initial belief', she said, was Lingard's vehicle was racing another high-performance car.

The judge told Lingard the case had aggravating features, including him being twice over the limit, saying: 'One wonders who would have cared for your entire family had you killed yourself or someone else.'

The judge told him that he would be punished in the same way as anyone else before the court - a week's earnings.

She also added a £2,000 victim surcharge, meaning Lingard must £59,000 in total, and banned him from driving for 18-months, to run concurrently with an existing six-month ban.

The drink-drive incident happened three weeks before Lingard was given a six-month driving ban after he admitted failing to give details of who was driving his Range Rover when it was caught speeding.

A previous court hearing, in April this year, heard how the name of fictitious man, living at a non-existent address and allegedly linked to a notorious scam was given on behalf of the player.

Stockport Magistrates' Court was told how a Range Rover Sport registered in Lingard's name was flashed by a speed camera on the A56 in Trafford in August, last year.

A notice of intended prosecution (NIP) requesting the details of the driver was then sent to his address.

But around two weeks later, an online nomination made using an email address 'linked' to Lingard's Instagram account gave the driver's name as George Bolt.

The court was told that Mr Bolt 'doesn't exist', while the address provided was believed to be a car park.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) had also identified the name as being 'linked to a so-called NIP farm'..

NIP 'farms' are a notorious scam whereby drivers and businesses pay criminals to supply them with fictitious details in a bid to avoid being fined or getting points on their licence for motoring offences.

'One wonders who would have cared for your entire family had you killed yourself

What kind of dimwitted ****ing stupidity is this? I'm not saying they wouldn't mourn his death if he crashed and died but I'm sure they can wash and dress themselves and manage to eat when he is not present and earning fifty ****ing seven thousand ****ing pounds a week I reckon he has more in the bank than the average person.

Given he fraudulently tried to avoid points, I am surprised that didn’t make it a criminal matter. A weeks wages for being twice the legal limit sounds very lenient for anyone. It has to be more than that surely? I know he has a ban, I just expected it to be a lot more.

[Exiled_red]

Off the topic of Lingard a bit, but why do driving bans for two offences run concurrently? Doesn't that really mean you are being punished once for two offences?

[ChesterDave]

Seems to be the case often for all offences.

Just reading comments from Ten Hag's press conference:
- "Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag on reports of staff feeling concerned about the influence of his agent Kees Vos"
- "Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag on potential leaks coming out of the dressing room"
- Pressure on Andre Onana
- Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag on whether Jadon Sancho could leave in January: "It depends on him. For the rest, we are preparing for Burnley and that is our focus. He [Sancho] will not be in the squad."

What a ****ing mess! Almost feel sorry for him. It's rotten at Old Trafford.

[spud_gun]

Feel sorry for him?

Without him most of those talking points wouldn't have happened.

He signed Onana
He divulged Sancho's mental health issues without permission
His agent is Vos

If he didn't spend half his time alienating players that he can't sell (Sancho, McGuire, McTomminy) then perhaps his dressing room would be a little more harmonious and there wouldn't be any leaks.
