Louis van Gaal not sure of Anthony Martial's position at Manchester United

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has admitted that he is still not sure where Anthony Martial's best position is.The French international played on the left flank against Crystal Palace, but was unable to manufacture a goal as the Red Devils left Selhurst Park with a 0-0 draw.However, Van Gaal has insisted that his position, when playing for AS Monaco previously, has made finding the right place for him more difficult."We don't know yet because he played always in Monaco as the left winger," Van Gaal told reporters.

"And as a manager I have to see what is the best balance in the team, and that's not so simple. So I have to decide every week also, dependable of the game plan and the opponent, and so on."We have played with him in the striker's position, that was not the first time for him, but in Monaco he played always on the left wing."Martial became the World's most expensive teenager when he signed for United in August.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

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.
