Summary
United crash out of the Champions League after another slow start in Leipzig. So we’re fully expecting a Manchester derby win for Solskjaer and co on Saturday. Despite all the Paul Pogba drama.
There’s positive action from a very negative situation as PSG & Basaksehir walk off after the 4th official is accused of using a racist term towards Basaksehir assistant coach Pierre Webo.
Bielsa names his Leeds team in advance which Natalie explains isn’t that big a deal outside of England. While Duncan flip reverses to a universe where Jordan Henderson left Liverpool for Fulham.
Plus we pay tribute to Paolo Rossi. And tell you why Aston Villa’s Trezeguet is on for a classic season.
