The papers are still going over Monday's defeat, with The Sun advising us to drop Nani. Sorry, The Sun reporting an anonymous source saying we're dropping Nani and taking our ball and going home (so far as contract talks are concerned), until he bucks his ideas up.
The Mail are slightly more polite when it comes to Rooney, but they say our options in attack mean his position isn't safe, though looked at positively:
...it is to be hoped the arrival of new bodies will nudge him to higher levels.
The Independent have a dreadful article on our defence in which they manage to slag off everyone, from Sir Alex (usual non interview gripes), to Evra (past it). Even our new signing, Alexander Buttner isn't spared, he's compared to Bebe, which then gives the writer excuse to slag him off too. A pointless article.
An article on the Guardian blog highlights the positives from the match - which is mainly Kagawa's performance.
The Mail report that Angelo henriquez has been granted a work permit:
A United statement read: 'Manchester United is pleased to announce that Angelo Henriquez, 18, has been granted a governing body endorsement which will allow him to register and play for the club.'He will play his final game for Universidad de Chile tomorrow and a further announcement on him joining United will be made in due course.'
The Sun has Vidic quotes, pinning the blame on injuries, or not:
“We knew it would be a hard game.“They did what they’re best at — playing long balls and focusing on set-pieces.“They had a few chances and deserved to score but we’re never happy when we concede from a set-piece.“When you come to places like Everton who will play long balls into the box you need big, strong defenders but we won’t use injuries as an excuse.“I thought the players who came in gave their best and hopefully we’ll have a couple of defenders ready for the next game.”
The Mirror have the latest instalment of "Berba to..." this time it's Fiorentina.
