The Brazilian’s face is pictured next to the slogan: ‘Até à Morte’ (Until death).Here come the teams! The Manchester United players, the ones that are fathers anyway, are coming out with their children, which is a nice touch. Adam Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo appear to have borrowed some of their teammates’ offspring. Bruno Fernandes’ daughter is unmistakably a Fernandes. Continue reading...
BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Sunday's match (12:30 GMT) between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, which is set to be Casemiro's final home appearance for the Red Devils. Manchester United sealed Champions League qualification with victory over Liverpool in their previous home match – and securing a return to Europe's top competition appears increasingly likely to earn head coach Michael Carrick the job on a permanent basis.
Manchester United will look to celebrate Champions League qualification in style when they face Sunderland in the Premier League this afternoon. Man United guaranteed a return to Europe’s elite club competition last weekend as they beat rivals Liverpool 3-2 at Old Trafford. Manchester United squeezed past their rivals to wrap up a Champions League finishGetty Goals from Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Kobbie Mainoo saw Michael Carrick’s men secure the spoils at the expense of the 2024/25 Premier League champions. And they’ll be looking to extend their winning run to four matches when they travel to the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats have successfully staved off the threat of relegation but welcome Man United on a three-match winless run. Regis Le Bris’ side were held to a 1-1 draw by table footers Wolves on Saturday as Santiago Bueno cancelled out Nordi Mukiele’s first half opener at Molineux, though, the Black Cats did have Dan Ballard sent off. Sunderland will look to put on a much-improved display than they did in their last home game as they fell to a 5-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest last month.

Michael Carrick returns to the scene of one of his worst days as a Manchester United player this weekend. A first half Wayne Rooney goal was enough for United to claim a 1-0 win at the Stadium of Light on the final day of the 2011-12 season. Victory would have been enough for United to claim a 20th top-flight title provided rivals Manchester City failed to beat QPR at the Etihad Stadium. And City went into second-half stoppage time 2-1 down before Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero scored late on as a final-day dream turned to a nightmare for United. Aguero’s title-winning goal against QPR in 2012 is one of the iconic Premier League momentsGetty Images - Getty “Yeah, yeah, I can remember that. I’ve not forgotten it,” said Carrick, who started alongside Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes in midfield that day. “Obviously, it was a one-off kind of feeling. It wasn’t during the game, it wasn’t until after the game, kind of didn’t really know exactly where the land was lying at that point. “So it wasn’t until we walked towards the edge of the pitch and we had to deal with what was thrown at us. “It’s in the past, you know, but, yeah, it definitely sticks in the memory.” Sunderland vs Manchester United: talkSPORT BET Odds Sunderland – 3/1 Draw – 14/5 Manchester United – 17/20 Visit talkSPORT BET for all football betting odds 18+ | gambleaware.org
Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, two teams with Europe on their minds, meet at Vitality Stadium on Sunday. The Andoni Iraola farewell party continues with the Cherries seeking to go unbeaten for a 15th consecutive Premier League match, the longest current such run in the top flight. Only two teams have had a 14-plus game unbeaten run within a season and finished outside the top six: that was Wimbledon in 1996-97 and Chelsea – who have been linked with a move for Iraola - in 2015-16.
