Celta Vigo star John Guidetti slams Manchester United tactics

John Guidetti has never been a man to hold his tongue, with the Celta Vigo striker having recently stoked the flames ahead of his side’s Europa League semi-final first leg with Man United by claiming that ‘Manchester is blue’.
Having started up front for the La Liga side as they fell to a disappointing 1-0 home defeat (thanks to a Marcus Rashford stunner) last night, the Swedish striker has today pointed the finger at the tactics of Jose Mourinho’s men, claiming their performance following the game’s solitary goal left a lot to be desired.
According to The Telegraph, the former Celtic striker sniped:
‘After the goal, they wasted a lot of time. They didn’t play football. They are very intelligent like that. It was difficult for both teams, it was a very hard match and both teams defended well.’
‘In the second leg, they need to play football because their fans will demand it. Tonight they were not superior, we were close and it’s not impossible (for us to progress).’

Guidetti’s comments relating to United must be taken with a pinch of salt, with the big Swede has been on the books of Manchester City between 2008 and 2015.
He has also become known for his rather controversial outbursts…
On a knife-edge

The second leg of the Europa League semi-final between the sides will take place at Old Trafford next Thursday 11th May, with the tie finely poised following youngster Rashford’s crucial strike.

Messi-Ronaldo Rivalry Just Begin

Image
Cristiano Ronaldo believes his rivalry with Lionel Messi has plenty of distance left to run after scooping the Best FIFA Men's Player award in London. Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo was honoured at the gala after a poll of international head coaches, captains and members of the media saw him come out ahead of Barcelona counterpart Messi, with Brazil and PSG forward Neymar in third. Speaking to reporters at London Palladium, Ronaldo initially sought to play down the rivalry before apparently laying down a long-term challenge to the 30-year-old Messi.   "I don't compete with Leo," he said. "He is a player, who is in the same era. He won five times. I won five times too — individual awards for the best in the world.  So things are as they are. Obviously, I am happy because, as I said before, I am at the best club in the world.  I have had the opportunity to demonstrate that I am at a very high level during the last few years. And I am stil...

Jose Mourinho Claims Neymar is not Costly at £199m-Plus as Jurgen Klopp Hits out at Financial Fair Play

Image
In the wake of paying the world record charges to sign Paul Pogba the last season, the Man United Boss feels PSG are getting an incentive for cash Jose Mourinho claims the £199m fee for Neymar is 'not costly' - but rather the Manchester United manager fears it will leave the 'insane transfer market' in a spin. While recognizing the business hit the French goliaths will pick up, Mourinho is concerned it will drive transfer expenses out of this world for every other person. In Dublin the previous evening, he stated: "When we signed Paul Pogba, I said he was not costly. Costly are the ones that get to a specific level without a specific quality. Jose Mourinho makes his feelings known on Neymar transfer "I don't think £200m for Neymar is costly. "Costly is the reality there will now be more players at £100m, more players at £50m, more players at £60m - that is the issue. "Neymar is outstanding amongst...
