In the first half we lacked rhythm. We had problems in contact and they have a really good team - we knew that from before, said Guardiola. Aston Villa remain hopeful of signing Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus once the Serie A club have secured a replacement. Both sides deserved something from a thrilling end-to-end contest. Bristol City's best first-half chance came on 37 minutes. Brentford threw bodies forward in search of the winner and the pressure paid off when Sama Ghoddos was taken out by William Troost-Ekong's clumsy challenge inside the box. You have to take a decision and this will not be to the liking of everybody and this is part of the game. Falling behind SanchoEngland's Euros ended in disappointment for Rashford - but nobody saw such a full from grace at United coming, even though the shoulder surgery was always going to inflict some sort of setback. Benitez received a warm reception before his first game at home to Southampton, and victories against the Saints, Brighton and Burnley plus a creditable draw at Manchester United - as well as his two bargain signings Andros Townsend and Demarai Gray excelling - gave him a cushion against premature criticism. Harry Maguire: Our embarrassing performance let down Ole Gunnar SolskjaerJamie Redknapp: Utd like a holiday camp; owners must actPaul Merson Says: Rivals want Man Utd win to keep Ole Gunnar Solskjaer inGet Sky Sports | Stream this game with a NOW passHe told Sky Sports' Patrick Davison for Soccer Saturday: I've got open and direct communication with the club, with the board and we're very up front. I am already thinking like a coach. Five common tactical mistakesAccording to Loran Vrielink Failing to understand that 98 per cent of game situations are without the ball. If anyone says Trent can't defend, they should come to me and I'll knock them down, he told Sky Sports. Thomas Tuchel brought Alonso back into the fold after he arrived to replace Lampard following the former Blues midfielder's dismissal in January last year.  Seamus Coleman's floated cross found Rondon in the area, who in turn laid it off for Abdoulaye Doucoure. On a personal level as well, he's given me my chance, obviously with the U21s and he's brought me up and given me eight senior caps so far. Merson believes the statement will have come in light of a team registering their interest in Pogba with Raiola, and says things haven't worked at Old Trafford because United aren't dominating games and can't make him the centre of attention. Fernandes arrived at Old Trafford with a fanfare in January, 2020 and immediately delivered with league-topping attacking returns and talismanic displays - instantly making him the man United turned to. Fans have not been impressed by his post-match interviews - and his celebration when scoring for England against Albania was described by Roy Keane as embarrassing - before he was sent off in the 4-1 defeat at Watford for a ludicrous challenge when already on a yellow card, brandished seven minutes earlier. The lead would last barely four minutes, however, with Ronaldo peeling away at the back post to reach Fernandes' in-swinging cross and then reacting fastest when his initial effort was saved to poke in the equaliser from a matter of inches. Chelsea thought they had a deal wrapped up, only for Sevilla to dig in at the last with the switch falling through just before the summer's transfer window closed. There are plenty of talented Spanish goalkeepers coming through in La Liga too, with Ivan Martinez, Lucas Canizares and Alejandro Iturbe deemed among the best young stoppers in the game. Perfect Pulisic makes his statementPulisic: Lampard always believed in meAnd you've got to give Frank credit.
