🚨🎙️ Luis Enrique on Hakimi scoring a hat-trick tonight:
🗣️ “Lol, even I don’t understand his position on the pitch anymore. 😭😂
I think I’ll have to ask him in the dressing room which position he actually plays, because at this point, I’m not even sure where to put him on the team sheet.
Right-back, winger, striker… this guy wants to do everything! 💀🔥”
🚨 Wayne Rooney on Erling Haaland refusing to attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony:
“I actually side with Haaland on this one. If Harry Kane can win the Ballon d’Or conversation through his goals, why was Messi’s World Cup enough to win it in 2023? And if individual performances matter so much, why didn’t Lamine Yamal win it this year?
The criteria seem to change depending on who the favourite is. Haaland has every right to feel disappointed. He doesn’t need to complain publicly or make controversial statements. Sometimes, simply not showing up says enough. 👀”

🚨🚨🗣 Fabrizio Romano:
“Mason Mount will be out at least until January, possibly longer.
Sesko will only return once he is 100% fit. United don’t want to risk another injury. They’re hoping for January.
With Sesko’s situation and Zirkzee still a possible exit, United are exploring the January striker market. They want a traditional number nine and are already looking at options, regardless of what happens with the coach.”

🚨🎙️ Al Kholood manager Des Buckingham on Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick against his team:
🗣️ “Cristiano? We’re lucky we’re not facing the young Cristiano Ronaldo in this league.
If he can do this at his age, imagine what he would have done in his prime. 😭🐐
He always knows where to be at the right time. We have to give credit where it’s due.”

🚨🚨🗣 Crystal Palace sacked Frank de Boer after four league games and Ian Holloway after winning just one of his first eight.
Pierre Sage has reportedly been given more time. Michael Carrick’s future at Manchester United is under scrutiny.
The contrast raises questions about how long different clubs are willing to wait.
🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra on the Ballon d’Or ignoring Cristiano Ronaldo despite him winning the fan vote:
🗣️ “The Ballon d’Or is yet to post Cristiano Ronaldo as the winner, even after the voting has closed and he’s reportedly won by a clear margin. 😭🐐
But they’re busy posting Messi and asking fans what they think about his final position?
Bro, it’s not rocket science! 😂 These guys will do anything to keep the attention on Messi while Ronaldo’s achievement gets ignored.
At this point, you have to wonder if they can stand the existence of Cristiano Ronaldo. The man can never catch a break! 💀🐐”
🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo winning the All-Time Best Ballon d’Or:
🗣️ “The Ballon d’Or officials know exactly what they’re doing. 👀
I think they’re playing it safe because they know the Super Ballon d’Or debate is coming, and they don’t want to make things too obvious in advance.
Don’t be surprised if the Super Ballon d’Or ends up going to Messi. They know how big that debate would be, and they may already be preparing the ground for it.
Cristiano Ronaldo has just won the All-Time Best Ballon d’Or, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Messi gets the Super Ballon d’Or. That’s when the real arguments will start. 😭🔥”
🚨🎙️ Jadon Sancho’s agent on rejecting Getafe’s €10,000 salary offer:
🗣️ “With all due respect to Getafe, we consider that offer a big disrespect to Jadon Sancho. We’re talking about a player whose talent puts him in the same conversation as Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. You cannot expect a player of his calibre to accept those terms.
Jadon knows his worth, and we know his worth. We’re not asking for special treatment, but the offer has to reflect the level of player we’re talking about. We will not accept just anything because he needs a club. His career deserves more respect than that. 🤷♂️🔥”
🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra on Arsenal fans sending him abuse over his football banter:
🗣️ “Arsenal fans, please take it easy on me. Some of you have been sending me the wildest curses in my DMs. 😭😂
I’m already depressed by Manchester United’s poor season, and I’m just trying to find a little happiness in your failures. Hate it or love it, I’ll keep bantering as long as United keep stressing me out. 💀🤣
But please, ease up on the curses. At the end of the day, it’s just football banter. ❤️”
🚨🎙️ Zinedine Zidane on Kylian Mbappé apologising to the Chinese people:
🗣️ “Did Kylian Mbappé really intend to insult the Chinese people? 🤔
Honestly, I don’t believe that was his intention. For months, fans have been calling Mbappé a ‘dictator’ and turning his image into viral memes. When he was asked which meme made him laugh the most, he mentioned the one comparing him to a Chinese dictator. That doesn’t automatically mean he intended to disrespect the Chinese people.
They have every right to express their concerns, and Mbappé has apologised. As a global superstar, he has taken responsibility for his words. I hope both sides can move forward from this.”

🚨🎙️ 🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Manchester United’s decision to keep Michael Carrick as the club’s manager:
🗣️"If we are being completely real about the situation, after that 3–0 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford, even Michael himself body-language-wise looked like he knew it was over. You could see it in his eyes—the air had completely gone out of the room. So where on earth is this decision coming from?
What are the actual reasons here? Is it because the board doesn’t have a clear backup plan ready? Is it because they are bogged down in corporate red tape and boardroom hesitation? Whatever it is, expecting this to suddenly turn around against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is completely unrealistic.
You cannot look at a squad sitting 16th in the Premier League table after eight games, winless in eight matches across all competitions, and honestly believe that doing the exact same thing is going to yield a different result. The players have lost confidence, the fans are completely exhausted by the constant cycle of false dawns, and the environment has turned toxic.
This isn't about Michael as a person—he’s a top guy and a legend at the club. This is about an executive structure under INEOS and the Glazers that seems terrified of making a hard tactical call, preferring to drag out the agony rather than admit a mistake. It’s illogical, it’s unfair to the supporters, and it shows how far the operational standards at Manchester United have fallen."

🚨🎙️ Toni Kroos on Kylian Mbappé still not winning the Ballon d’Or at Real Madrid:
🗣️ “It took Dembélé two seasons at PSG to win his first Ballon d’Or. Harry Kane took three seasons at Bayern Munich, and now Mbappé is in his second season at Real Madrid, producing incredible numbers but still without the biggest individual award. 👀
For me, the last three Ballon d’Or winners have shown how much team trophies influence this award. Rodri, Dembélé and Kane are great players, but were they really the best players in the world in those years if you take trophies out of the equation? I don’t think so. 🤷♂️
Mbappé keeps delivering goals and putting up incredible numbers, but without trophies at Real Madrid, his efforts might continue to go unrewarded.
This is not the Real Madrid we all know. At this club, winning is everything. Something needs to change quickly, because we cannot keep allowing individual brilliance to go to waste because the team is failing to win trophies. 🤍🏆”

🚨🚨🎙Alex Crook on United’s lack of a succession plan:
“There needs to be a succession plan in place. That’s what the best-run clubs do.
If another manager loses his job after a poor run, it shouldn’t only be Michael Carrick held responsible. Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada should also face scrutiny.
The Stretford End made their feelings clear. Carrick was applauded off, the players were booed, and there were chants aimed at the directors, the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe.”
🚨🎙️ Micah Richard on Lamine Yamal saying Pau Cubarsí deserved the Young Talent of the Year award more:
🗣️ “He’s only saying that because he wanted the main award tonight, the Ballon d’Or. 😭😂
You can tell he’s disappointed. He won the Young Talent award, but deep down, he wanted to walk away with the biggest prize of the night. That’s football! 💀🏆”
🚨🎙️ Jamie Carragher on Lamine Yamal winning the Young Talent of the Year award on Ballon d’Or night:
🗣️ “Once you win this, forget about the Ballon d’Or. They’re not giving you both awards on the same night. 😭😂
If Yamal has already walked away with the Young Talent award, I doubt he’s going to win the Ballon d’Or tonight.”

🚨🚨🎙 Alex Crook questions Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s faith in Jason Wilcox:
“What has Jason Wilcox done to earn that level of trust?
Look at some of the signings he made at Southampton, including Gavin Bazunu for £25m, who is now at Bolton. There were other poor decisions during his time there, yet he has become a key figure at Manchester United.
The big concern for many fans is that Wilcox will now have a major say on the next managerial appointment. If that decision is not right, the problems at the club could continue.”
🚨🎙️ Michael Owen on Rodri performance against Real Madrid:
🗣️ "Rodri is NOT a threat to Real Madrid! I’ve said it many times. He can complete 150 passes, but he CAN’T deliver even 5 decisive passes that truly threaten Real Madrid’s defence.
Even Bernardo Silva was more impactful than Rodri in El Clásico. Just safe ball circulation and good positional sense can’t decide a BIG GAME. It’s a normal impact, like that of any regular player.
Only special players can decide the match, like Pedri, Raphinha, Mbappé, Diomande, Güler, and Valverde. I don’t count Rodri in that list."
