Manchester United's moribund showing at Sunderland told us much of what we already know‚ namely that Michael Carrick's side are far from an elite outfit and that the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea should be feel embarrassed that they trail in their wake. It also underlines how well Bruno Fernandes has done to shine this season to such a degree that he has just been announced as the Football Writers' Association player of the year. It is a thoroughly deserved nomination and one that has provoked much outrage on that part of the internet occupied largely by those who don't know very much about football. My social media feeds were lively on Friday night after I endorsed Fernandes' triumph and revealed that I had voted for him last season too. This was proof - so the accusations continue to go - that I was anti-Liverpool‚ anti-Arsenal‚ anti-Manchester City and indeed on the pay roll of Manchester United.

It was a valiant attempt at diplomacy‚ but he was fooling no one. From the instant Hearts defeated Rangers last Monday to all but end the title challenge of the Ibrox club‚ the only concern among fans of Rohl's side has been that Celtic did not get what they could not have.

IAN LADYMAN: Thomas Tuchel has admitted that the mass withdrawal of Arsenal players from international camps looks 'suspicious' but is adamant that England duo Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are genuinely too injured to feature against Japan at Wembley on Tuesday night. Rice and Saka have returned to their club without kicking a ball for England after reporting for duty to watch last Friday's draw with Uruguay. The duo were part of a group of players given time off for that game but were originally expected to play tomorrow. But both players left camp over the weekend along with club mate Noni Madueke‚ who was injured during the Uruguay game. This took the number of Arsenal players to have left national team meet-ups around the world to eleven‚ raising eyebrows give the Gunners have just lost the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City and have a Champions League first leg against Sporting Lisbon to play next Tuesday.

England's friendly with Uruguay was marred by some farcical refereeing on Friday night‚ not least one incident in the second-half at Wembley that recalled Graham Poll's infamous mistake at the 2006 World Cup.

Poll booked Simunic in the 61st and 90th minutes but failed to send him off‚ only issuing the red card after a third yellow in stoppage time.
