Gary Neville branded Manchester United's lack of effort 'an absolute disgrace' after their insipid 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Matheus Cunha's deflected effort in the 89th minute rescued United from a third defeat in a week‚ but even the Brazilian admitted that his team didn't try hard enough.
NATHAN SALT AT OLD TRAFFORD: There was one sequence midway through the first half that perhaps best encapsulated the good and the bad of Patrick Dorgu the left back. With the game locked at 0-0‚ Sabah broke on the counter and there was Dorgu‚ as far forward as any United player‚ appearing totally uninterested in sprinting back. It did not go unnoticed. But then‚ seconds later‚ Sabah were dispossessed in the middle of the park‚ the ball was turned over and in a flash it was ferried out to Dorgu‚ still high and wide‚ to pick his head up and deliver a dead-eye cross to the near post for Matheus Cunha to score. Pandemonium.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke stormed out of his BBC interview after being quizzed on the anxious wait to see if his side will clinch one of the eight best third-placed spots‚ much to the annoyance of the Scottish fanbase. Clarke's side were comfortably beaten 3-0 by Brazil on Wednesday‚ with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior setting the five-time World Cup champions on their way to victory with a first-half brace before Manchester United's Matheus Cunha sealed the three points in the 60th minute.
SCOTLAND 0-3 BRAZIL - RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT MIAMI STADIUM: If Steve Clarke's worst fear was a drubbing‚ then he ought to avoid seeking anything positive from the fact Scotland suffered a mere 3-0 defeat in Miami. That Brazil didn't score more is something akin to a World Cup miracle. They battered Scotland‚ dragging them from pillar to post in a tie that often looked an utter mismatch and concluded with Clarke sweating profusely over progression to the knockout stages. But he will know how much worse it might have been‚ with two strikes from Vinicius Jr and a third by Matheus Cunha the very least that Brazil deserved on the night. Of the 21 chances that went to Carlo Ancelotti's side‚ as many as five or six might have gone in on another occasion‚ which says as much for the talent in the Brazilian attack as it did the Scottish inability to cover their backsides.
In a farewell documentary released by the club‚ United stars - including Bruno Fernandes‚ Diogo Dalot and Matheus Cunha - paid tribute to the midfielder before Casemiro and his wife Anna both sat down for individual interviews. The documentary travelled through the highs and lows of his time at United‚ before culminating in an emotional interview recorded before his final game.
BRAZIL 3-0 HAITI - OLIVER HOLT IN PHILADELPHIA: Brazil coasted to a comfortable 3-0 victory over World Cup minnows Haiti at Lincoln Financial Field on Friday evening to breathe confidence into a campaign that had got off to a stuttering start with a 1-1 draw against Morocco. Two first half goals from Matheus Cunha and a third from Vinicius Jr on the stroke of the interval lifted Carlo Ancelotti's side to the top of Group C. They will play Scotland in their third game in Miami on Wednesday. Cunha had been preferred to Brentford forward Igor Thiago and scored a fine second goal‚ hitting a fierce left foot shot high into the roof of the net.
The Manchester United squad celebrated confirming their third-place finish in the Premier League by going for a team meal at an upscale and lively Greek restaurant in the heart of the city on Sunday night. Michael Carrick's side edged an entertaining five-goal thriller with Nottingham Forest in their final home game of the season at Old Trafford‚ earlier in the day. Bruno Fernandes grabbed the headlines‚ equalling the Premier League assists record also held by top-flight legends Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry‚ setting up Bryan Mbeumo for United's third‚ after Luke Shaw and Matheus Cunha had netted the hosts' first two goals of the afternoon.
CHRIS WHEELER AT THE STADIUM OF LIGHT: United haven't produced many bad performances under Michael Carrick‚ but this was one of them as a team showing five changes from last weekend laboured against a spirited Sunderland side who hit the post through Brian Brobbey and were frustrated by goalkeeper Senne Lammens. In fact‚ United didn't manage a single shot on target until the third minute of injury-time when Matheus Cunha's effort was blocked by Robin Roefs at close-range‚ which is a damning indictment on a team still packed with expensive‚ attacking talent.
CHRIS WHEELER: Casemiro and Matheus Cunha are the latest United players to say publicly that Carrick deserves to keep the job after guiding his team to 10 wins in 14 games. 'I think as a coach or manager‚ you're only a leader of a group if people want to follow you‚' added Carrick. 'It's not a thing that you can talk about so much‚ it's actions that prove that.'
“You never know” - Manchester United star hints Casemiro could stay at Old Trafford in surprise late twist
Manchester United have the bragging rights over bitter rivals Liverpool after a 3-2 victory at Old Trafford on Sunday to complete a Premier League double this season. Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko gave the Red Devils a 2-0 lead at half-time before Dominik Szoboszlai and Cody Gakpo levelled for the visitors. However‚ academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo scored the winner for the hosts with a fine side-footed finish to confirm Michael Carrick's side Champions League for next season. Daily Mail Sport's CHRIS WHEELER (Manchester United) and LEWIS STEELE (Liverpool) were at the match to provide their player ratings.
IAN LADYMAN AT OLD TRAFFORD: Maybe it was actually sweeter for Manchester United to win this way. To give their great rivals some hope and then snatch it away from them again. Michael Carrick and his United team are back in the Champions League and this was quite some way to do it. Fifteen minutes in and United were two goals up and rampant. Liverpool scored seven at Anfield against Erik ten Hag's version of United back in 2023 and‚ after those early goals from Matheus Cunha and then Benjamin Sesko‚ Carrick's players must have sniffed some kind of ultimate payback.
