    Redknapp backs Everton

    Harry Redknapp is backing Everton to spoil Man Utd's day at Goodison Park on Sunday.

    "One thing’s for certain, the atmosphere in Goodison will be incredible. When that place gets loud, it’s literally shaking! After the point deduction, the fans will be right behind the team," he told BetVictor.

    "Sean Dyche might even use this to galvanise his team and use this adversary to bring his squad together, that’s what I’d be doing. I think people are forgetting that Everton have been in good form over the last month as well.

    "United have been getting wins but the performances haven’t been great. You look ahead at the fixtures on the way, it feels like this month will define their season. Sean Dyche will really fancy the win here. Everton have had some famous, famous wins over United down the years. I can see another here."

    'Match their standards'

    Erik ten Hag has urged his Man Utd stars to 'match the standards' of Everton who he believes will be mad after their 10-point deduction.

    “I can see the opposition and I can see they are mad, but then finally it’s about us," the Dutchman said.

    "If they are mad and that’s their fuel, we have to match those standards. When we match the standards we have a very good chance to win the game."

    Man Utd should sign Kazakhstan ace

    A Man Utd legend has urged the club to sign a Kazakhstan international and says a potential transfer would make him “very happy”.

    Andrei Kanchelskis believes the potential arrival of another lesser-known ace from the Eastern Bloc could be a masterstroke for current boss Erik ten Hag.

    23-year-old Nuraly Alip has impressed for Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg ever since his arrival last year from Kairat in his homeland.

    That has led to recent speculation that United, who are looking to bolster their centre-back department, sent scouts to watch him in action for his country against Slovenia on Monday.

    Kanchelskis told Sport Express: “If this move happens, I will be very happy.

    “This will be a big step forward for the football player. This is progress. A new football world.

    “It will be a big plus for the entire Kazakh football if Alip plays for Manchester United.

    “This will be an important moment both for him and for the Kazakh children who love to play football.”

    Rapahel Varane has been left “stunned” at his impending exit from Manchester United, Sun Sport can reveal.

    Sources close to the 30-year-old Frenchman say he expected to “see out the final chapter of his career at Old Trafford”.

    But the former Real Madrid ace now faces being flogged in the summer – as exclusively revealed by Sun Sport this week.

    Man Utd fans are convinced that "the world is not ready" as Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly in line for a start.

    Mainoo, 18, has not played this term as he has battled injuries but is now fit again.

    He impressed in pre-season against Arsenal before suffering his injury.

    And now United fans are thrilled to learn that he might be starting against Everton.

    One posted: "The world isn't ready for Kobbie Mainoo."

    A second commented: "Kobbie Mainoo starting against Everton at Goodison Park which is going to be rowdy, would be a huge faith shown by ten Hag."

    Martial shouldn't be sold

    Man Utd legend Dimitar Berbatov hopes that Anthony Martial doesn't get sold.

    He told  Betfair: “Everyone knows that he’s not working the way he should be. He’s not using his quality properly and he’s struggling because of this. He needs to be shaken up a little bit and there are moments where he needs to push hard and change his game.

    “He needs to do something extra. When you’ve been at a club for a long time, you get complacent. From time to time, you need to challenge yourself and the people around you need to wake you up and say, ‘look, you have so many qualities that you’re not using correctly. Wake up, do more and bring it to the team’.”

    Griezmann's future

    Antoine Griezmann has revealed his intentions to stay at Atletico Madrid, despite Man Utd's interest.

    He told Marca:"I am motivated to be someone important at Atlético, to be a legend in this club.

    “I know I have to earn it. Now I have many goals for this year, but yes, I want a League and I need it. I've never done it and it would be nice. But it is very long and you have to work and see if you are lucky enough to win it.”

    Van de Beek breaks silence

    Donny van de Beek has broken his silence about his future at Man Utd.

    The ex-Ajax star said: “I am bouncing to play matches again. The manager is making different choices now. We have a big squad and I am not the only one knocking on the door. We'll see in January what happens.

    “I need to start playing games very soon – if not at Man United then at another club. I think I have to be ambitious. I have always been a lover of the game. I am absolutely crazy about football. I earn a good living at United, but money is not my motivation. I want to enjoy my work every day.”

    Berbatov's prediction

    Former Manchester United forward Dimitar Berbatov has given his prediction for tomorrow's match against Everton.

    He told Betfair: "It's going to be an interesting game. With Everton being deducted 10 points, they're suddenly in the relegation zone. If they win, it'll be good for their belief. United have all these injuries, so it's going to be tough for them going to Everton.

    "You need to know how to make the smart choices as a club, when you don't, the consequences are severe. The players will be devastated. Now, the players will need to do the hard work of getting the club back out of the relegation zone. They'll be angry, for sure, with that decision. The hard work now starts against United.

    "I get the feeling Everton have the chance to win this one based on so many injuries for United, especially if the fans are on board with the team. We all know the stadium can be crazy when backs are against the wall – I've experienced it. United do have a good record against Everton, though, so I'll go for a 1-1 draw."

    Ten Hag defends his principles

    Erik ten Hag has again defended his principles amid accusations that he does not play as attractive football at United as he did at Ajax.

    In his latest press conference, he said: "Manchester United did not sign me to play the Ajax way. They signed me to win. To develop a project the way I did at Ajax. To win games in an adventurous way, and I think I have been able to show that in multiple games."

    Donny Van De Beek has said he does not regret joining Manchester United but is looking to leave the club in January.

    In an interview with Dutch newspaper Der Telegraaf, Van De Beek said: "Last season I was sidelined for months because of my knee injury. It's a terrible loss. I appreciate it even more because I have a fabulous job. I'm at a legendary club and I'm still proud to wear the Manchester United shirt every day.

    "But I'm full of energy now, I'm back in great shape and I'm training like a beast. The time has come to make another choice.

    Ten Hag serving touchline ban

    Ten Hag's assistant Mitchell Van Der Graag will be on the touchline for Manchester United's clash with Everton on Sunday.

    Ten Hag is serving a touchline ban after accumulating three yellow cards this season.

    Speaking to MUTV about his staff taking the game on Sunday, ten Hag said: "I'm quite confident.

    "I will have an even better view [from the stands], but we have a very good backroom staff. They are very capable and experienced, so they know what to do. That will not affect our game."

    Varane up for the challenge

    Reports in the Athletic suggest that Raphael Varane is ready to embrace the challenge of getting back into the Manchester United team.

    The French World Cup winner has been dropped in favour of Jonny Evans in recent weeks but Evans will miss the Everton game this weekend.

    The Athletic report that those close to Varane feel he needs a few games to find his rhythm again and he is not in a rush to leave the club.

    You Shaw about that?

    Erik ten Hag has hinted at his master plan to down Everton tomorrow and it involves altering Luke Shaw's position.

    The United gaffer has been boosted by the return of key players Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez in training this week.

    And the former Ajax boss has suggested he will use the same tactic against Everton, if either of the pair are fit enough to start.

    Speaking on Thursday, he said: "They (Maguire and Varane) can play together in certain games but from the start when I came in here, I want a player on the left side (centre-back) who is comfortable on this left side or left foot because it gives you more and better angles."
