At least we now know for certain that Fergie was right not to pick him against Blackburn, midfield 2 that day.

The holy grail
Fridays can often be a struggle for the football media in terms of generating website traffic. But considering there was an actual game of football featuring a Premier League side on Thursday evening, there are games on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and there were interesting games on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday too, there should be no such issue.

Try telling that to the MailOnline, whose top story on Friday lunchtime is ‘Real Madrid ready to launch summer swoop for Pogba as United’s under-fire star takes family out for a meal in £250,000 Rolls Royce’. Because those two things definitely go together.

Ben Nagle proceeds to tell us that Real Madrid are ready to ‘submit an audacious bid’ for Pogba, before seamlessly discussing his dinner plans on Thursday evening.

‘It is understood that United have no desire to sell one of their star players though, while Pogba is happy in Manchester and does not intend to leave.

‘Indeed, there was a smile on the 24-year-old’s face on Thursday as he headed out for a meal, wrapped up against the cold with a white hoodie pulled over his head.’

Segue.

We are then told that Pogba went to Wing’s, took his ‘£250,000 Rolls Royce Wraith’, and ‘wore glasses and a cap’. So their favourite restaurant, an expensive car and fashion all dressed up in a football story: the MailOnline’s holy grail.

One of the picture captions (there are nine pictures in a 241-word story, one picture for every 27 words) reads:

‘The following morning, Pogba drove the same car to Manchester United’s training ground’

That’s because it’s his car.



Keeping up appearances
What the MailOnline did not realise is that Pogba was not only ‘seen walking alongside his mum Yeo’; The Sun have got the real scoop.

‘Paul Pogba enjoys evening out at Wings with freezing girlfriend Maria as mum and brother wrap up warm,’ reads the headline to their story, which is also top of their website. Obviously.

By the third line, they are weirdly less certain of the identity of the individuals joining Pogba for the meal. ‘He appeared to be joined by mum Yeo and his model girlfriend Maria Zulay Salaues, who he spent the summer partying with,’ writes Alex Terrell.

There are seven pictures and 284 words – so one every 40 words. The MailOnline ‘wins’.



Flying without Wing’s
Two ain’t bad, but fear not for the Daily Mirror are here to complete the hat-trick. It is Friday lunchtime, and Paul Pogba going out for dinner with his family is top of their website too.

‘Pogba dines out with his family at popular Manchester restaurant as legend Ince fears star could leave United’ reads their headline. Because the only reason Pogba went to Wing’s is because Paul Ince is fearing for his long-term future.

Apparently Pogba ‘brushed aside speculation’ by going out to eat. Would he have been ‘sending Real Madrid a come-and-get-me plea’ if he had ordered in?

Five pictures, 238 words and one video, if you were wondering. The MailOnline still wins. But actually we all lose.

TBR loves him a superstar name. They don’t even have to be good, just famous and ace on FIFA.

BT summed him up after the game. The little bit of quality we did offer he was involved in all.

Not sure how you can influence the game 10 yards in front of your goal, with your only target someone who is completely out of his depth but hey we need a scapegoat at the moment so step forward a player who’s actually saying what the fans reckon.

Marcus Rashford, Manchester United: And about time! My comments in the 'Crooks of the Matter' (below) go much further, but when is Mourinho going to stop treating Marcus Rashford like a child? In football terms he's a grown up and Mourinho should start treating him like one. I would have been livid being taken off in such a fixture having scored two goals. How dare Mourinho deny the lad his hat-trick by taking him off!

Marcus Rashford's lack of starts for Manchester United this season should not affect his chances of playing for England at the World Cup, says manager Jose Mourinho. But it will. The 20-year-old started his first Premier League game against Liverpool since Boxing Day. But Mourinho said Rashford is a key player at United and always "starts or is on the bench". As if any of that rhetoric will have any bearing on the harsh reality facing Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard for that matter.

Mourinho has their careers in the palm of his hand and he is slowly squeezing the life out of both these boys. We know Mourinho has 'previous' when it comes to this kind of activity. He totally dismissed the potential of Kevin de Bruyne, Mo Salah and even Romelu Lukaku while manager of Chelsea.

Rashford has won 15 international caps and scored on his debut in May 2016. Despite his lack of recent starts Rashford has still managed to score 12 goals in 39 games for United this season in all competitions, including substitute appearances. If Mourinho continues to insist on Rashford and Lingard remaining on the bench then they should leave United. It may break their hearts but they cannot afford to stick around a moment longer.
England needs them.

Actually beginning to think Garth hates Jose more than siders:

The first save De Gea made from the Swansea striker suggested his hand was made of bronze, such was the strength in his wrist. The second save was equally impressive as he had to read the pitch of the ball before it reared up violently towards goal. How he kept the ball from entering the net I will never know. United are winning matches under Jose Mourinho but still not looking great.

Jesse Lingard:*This lad has to be in England's starting XI for the World Cup on current form.Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has tried to use Lingard sparingly this season but failed. All credit to this young player, he has not only bulldozed his way into United's starting line-up but he's currently running the show.

Lingard was involved in all of United's goals against Swansea while displaying a range of passes in his repertoire. Could Gareth Southgate play both Lingard and Dele Alli in the same England team? Or is it too much like Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard? Nice thought though.

at the risk of starting a major Bank Holiday debate, I'm with Crooksy all the way on this one.
Lingard & Rashford would both start every game for me. Through the middle.

At what point has Jose "tried to use lingard sparingly"?

Guy can't help dropping in a completely unnecessary Jose snide in every single paragraph about united. Hence the siders comparison
