David Moyes addresses Jesse Lingard summer transfer talk after Manchester United blocked January exit

Manchester United players arrived at The Lowry Hotel before their Premier League game vs Southampton on Friday night.

West Ham did the right thing playing Kurt Zouma even though that video of him made me feel sick.The Premier League haven't banned him. Why should West Ham? Why should they make the rules?I don't think West Ham had any choice. They have a once in a lifetime opportunity to get in the Champions League and he's their best defender.You can't punish the club for one man's stupidity and if you're David Moyes you have to play him and wait for him to face the consequences.If you're the club, and you're paying him a fortune, and you need him, and the police have taken no action against him - you need to play him! West Ham condemned him.

Manchester United have won the FA Youth Cup more than any other club but that record is under threat this season.

West Ham.But in one fell swoop this week, the likeable Scot has undone all this great work following his shambolic handling of the now engulfing the Hammers.To recap. In a mindless act of cretinous proportions, video footage emerged on social media of Zouma kicking and slapping his pet cat, to bring more shame on the reputation of pampered and privileged millionaire footballers.This all took place in full view of his child, but despite the public outrage and some grovelling apologies from both Zouma and his club, Moyes' idea of teaching Zouma a lesson was to pick him in his starting XI for the midweek game with Watford.Moyes wants to get into the top four and the Champions League, which would be worth upwards of £30million.So a club which also has a vice-chairwoman with expertise in brand awareness in the shape of Karen Brady, has taken the decision to put money before morals.Read the room, David.

Cristiano Ronaldo shared an emotional message after Manchester United’s players met young fan River Rhodes on Tuesday night.

Gary Neville says that he thought Wayne Rooney was a "dirty little b*****d" the first time he came across him.Rooney was on the brink of the Everton first-team at just 16 years old when then-manager David Moyes deployed him in the reserves to test his mettle against sterner opposition.And that opposition couldn't have been much tougher: a Manchester United team that contained first-team stalwarts Neville and Nicky Butt.But typically, Rooney did not care for their reputations - and laid it straight onto them."I played against him as a 16-year-old in a reserve team game," Neville said, in the new Amazon Prime Video documentary, Rooney."He booted me and David May and I couldn't believe it.

The joy of August 31 when Cristiano Ronaldo made his long-awaited return to Manchester United feels far away now.

Liam Gallagher has hit out at shamed footballer Kurt Zouma after he was seen kicking and hitting his pet cat in a shocking video.The former Oasis frontman took to Twitter to fire a warning shot at the West Ham centre back over the clips which were posted online by the French footballer's brother.The footage caused outrage across the country as Kurt appeared picking up his pet cat before dropping it and kicking it across the room.He was then seen chasing the feline before slapping it to the ground as a young child was seen holding the animal up for him.Throughout the footage, his brother was heard laughing at the cruel actions, while the cat was seen fleeing in terror.Animal lover Liam - who performed at last night's Brit Awards - has since posted the warning about harming cats.He posted: "Oh and by the way don’t f*** with the cats."Liam is a cat owner himself, often proudly sharing images of his own pair of pet pussies Sid and Nancy.Following his tweet, he tellingly posted a picture of the pair sitting in his bed together to his Twitter page.Meanwhile, West Ham have come under fire after Zouma was allowed to play in last night's Premier League fixture against Watford at the Hammers home ground, London Stadium.The decision has led to heavy criticism for David Moyes and the powers that be at the club from fans who believe the player should have been suspended due to the shocking video footage.Football fans took to social media to lash out at the decision after he was heavily booed every time he got a touch on the ball on the pitch.One wrote: "Zouma should be in a cell not playing on a football pitch tonight.

RICHARD Madeley slammed West Ham's decision to play defender Kurt Zouma after a horrific video of him kicking his cat. He lashed out at the London club during an interview with London Mayor Sadiq Khan on Good Morning Britain today, saying: “Would you agree it was shameless for West Ham to play him last night?" Richard, 65, continued: “It’s the definition of shameless, and contempt of public opinion, including their own fans.” “(West Ham) fans booed him every time he got a touch of the ball.

Watford fans chanted a savage song at cat slapper Kurt Zouma on Tuesday night after the West Ham United defender went down injured.Zouma controversially started their meeting in the Premier League at the London Stadium after footage of him kicking and slapping his cat emerged online earlier in the day.He had been expected to be dropped by manager David Moyes after the club condemned his actions, despite police confirming they would not be investigating the 27-year-old.With the RSPCA receiving a plethora of complaints over the footage, Watford fans have now taken it upon themselves to taunt the former Chelsea man.Zouma went down injured during the first half of Tuesday's match and needed to receive treatment from the Hammers' medical staff as a result.While down on the pitch, the visiting Watford supporters reportedly began singing: “That’s how your cat feels."Zouma was able to continue despite going down injured, having avoided being dropped by the club.West Ham were quick to condemn his actions after the shocking footage of him and his pet cat emerged on social media on Tuesday morning.Should Kurt Zouma have been dropped by West Ham United?

West Ham fan is gaining notoriety for duping former footballers into posing next to a dildo.After the Hammers beat Kidderminster 2-1 in the FA Cup Fourth Round, the trickster caught an unsuspecting Micah Richards in the Aggborough Stadium car park.As the former Manchester City defender posed for a photo, beaming for the camera, a rubber sex device was whipped out.Richards, 33, is not the only one to have been subjected to the prank.Before that, a video emerged online of former Irons player and current first-team coach Kevin Nolan having the same done to him, unknowingly being snapped with a fan with a photo with a dildo in frame.The supporter uploaded the video to his Twitter account - which is under the alias @DildoWestHam - with the caption: "Love you Nolan baby."West Ham made it to the Last 16 of the FA Cup after beating the Harriers 2-1.It was no easy feat for David Moyes’ men though - Alex Penny put the home side up on 19 minutes and it took until one minute into injury time for Declan Rice to save their skin, netting with just minutes of time left.Jarrod Bowen then secured progression for the Premier League side with a goal in the dying embers of extra time.After the game, Moyes said that Kidderminster made the game “difficult” for them.Do you think this trickster will start to get recognised by former players? Let us know in the comments section.“I told the boys to turn up and be a bit more competitive and show that they can play at this level. "Kidderminster showed that they can play against the Premier League players so we had to show that we can play against conference players and I didn’t think we’d done that.

Manchester United have already decided on three midfielders who will be on their 15 strong list of summer transfer targets following a disappointing January window.Ralf Rangnick's side look in desperate need of a summer revamp following a string of inconsistent results, with a new manager set to come in before next season.And despite that uncertainty over who will be in charge, the club have already decided on three names who will make up some of the 15 potential midfield arrivals.With plans to turn that list of 15 into a potential 10 before the season is complete, two England internationals have already done enough at their current clubs to be included.ESPN reports details about the plan to outline 15 potential midfield arrivals, with West Ham's Declan Rice, Leeds United's Kalvin Phillips and Amadou Haidara of RB Leipzig all being considered.Hammers boss David Moyes has been firm on the future of Rice, and it could take a bid in the region of £100million to see the club part with their star player.Leeds on the other hand are well placed to tie Phillips down to a new contract, with the player pleased that they blocked deadline day interest from West Ham.Haidara, 24, has stood out in the Bundesliga over the past three seasons, and has now made 101 appearances for the club while scoring 10 goals.Who should Manchester United make their key transfer target?

Jesse Lingard and Edinson Cavani have returned to Manchester United training ahead of the Premier League match at Burnley on Tuesday night.

Manchester United have been told they would get a 'definite' bonus if they sign Declan Rice for £100million.

It’s certainly been a season to forget so far for Manchester United fans – and it’s perhaps unsurprising they aren’t too confident about the summer either.

David Moyes has told prospective buyers of Declan Rice that they can forget about spending a mere £100million on the midfielder.Instead the West Ham boss says those clubs now need a ‘humongous amount of money’ for a fee to be agreed to. The England international has been linked with a move to Manchester United among others but Moyes has said that, given his recent performances, that price has gone up significantly.

Ralf Rangnick has been told that his treatment of Jesse Lingard underlines a developing pattern which throws up a question mark over what he brings as Manchester United interim manager.
