VAN GAAL SAYS ROONEY WILL CONTINUE IN MAN UTD MIDFIELD

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says he will continue with Wayne Rooney in midfield after victory over Burnley.

With United so poor up front, moving Rooney - the third-highest scorer in the club's history - into attack would seem a plausible move, but Van Gaal thinks his team play better with his captain in midfield.
Van Gaal said: "I have to look for the better balance and I think until now because of Rooney we have a better balance in midfield.
"I was very pleased how he replaced Daley Blind in the number six position.
"He showed composure and of course he was also today the Rooney that I want to see but he has showed that he can play in every position.
"Maybe he can better play in a striker's position but then I have a problem in midfield."

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
