TOUGH CHOICES’: SHEARER SELECTS ONLY ONE MAN UTD STANDOUT VS LIVERPOOL
Alan Shearer snubs Bruno Fernandes, naming only one Man Utd player in a combined XI with Liverpool. The Premier League legend's damning selection highlights the gulf between the rivals ahead of their Anfield clash.
Alan Shearer claims that only one Manchester United player is included in a combined XI with Liverpool.
The Premier League's all-time leading scorer has created a dream squad that does not include even its captain and star, Bruno Fernandes.
As the Red Devils get ready to head to Anfield on Sunday for what used to be a stressful watch, it is a damning indication of how far they have fallen.
Even if the great rivalry is still a blockbuster, Liverpool has a clear advantage in recent years; they have won five of the last ten meetings across all competitions and only lost two, with an overall record of 33–11.
Even Liverpool's poor performance does not mitigate Shearer's harsh decision.
Even though Ruben Amorim's team has won two of their past three games and Arne Slot's team has lost three, they are still the overwhelming favourites.
One Red Devil is included in Alan Shearer's combined Liverpool-Man United starting lineup.
Shearer ignores Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United.
However, who is the lone standout player from Manchester United to make an appearance in Shearer's squad?
First, let us listen to his thoughts on the fixture.
"Liverpool vs. Man United is always significant because of the size of both clubs, and past players will always tell you that the fixture is huge and one they look out for, which means so much to both sets of fans and players," he told Betfair.
There is definitely more spice to this game because of Man United's personality and Liverpool's recent three straight losses, which nobody expected coming. For various reasons, both teams must go and win this game.
"As a manager and club, you want to sit and work or go on the training pitch and concentrate on what has gone wrong, but it is difficult when you have so many international players away." This makes international breaks challenging.
"Slot and Amorim's two weeks would have been difficult."
Unbelievably, Shearer chooses Luke Shaw to sneak into the Liverpool starting lineup to support Milos Kerkez.
Shaw has mostly been used as a left centre-back in Amorim's back three this season; thus, it is obvious that Shearer wants a defensive left-back.
The only Manchester United player to appear in Shearer's combined XI is Luke Shaw.
Following his £40 million move to Anfield, Milos Kerkez has not done enough to win Shearer over.
Since moving from Bournemouth for £40 million, Kerkez has not had the fastest of beginnings, and Shearer prefers the 30-year-old Shaw's experience.
He supports the defending champions, though, aside from that.
Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and Alisson round up his defensive group.
Shearer chooses a strong midfield trio of Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai above Florian Wirtz, who costs £116 million.
However, other mega-money stars have missed out besides Wirtz. Shearer, who scored 260 Premier League goals, replaces Alexander Isak, who cost Liverpool £125 million.
Hugo Ekitike is his preferred striker, with Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah providing wing assistance.
"There is no question that Man United would snap your hand off for a point," Shearer said.
However, as we have stated, there will be a fantastic atmosphere at Anfield and a lot of noise surrounding this fixture, so it is easier said than done. There is always
BRUNO SALTOR OFFICIALLY JOINS TOTTENHAM AS ASSISTANT COACH FOR THE NORTH LONDON DERBY
Tottenham appoints Bruno Saltor! Discover the new coaching team under Igor Tudor and the departures following Thomas Frank's exit.
Tottenham Hotspur just shook up their coaching staff, bringing in Bruno Saltor, a guy who’s worked with Chelsea and West Ham in the past.
Saltor’s stepping in alongside interim boss Igor Tudor until the season wraps up. Spurs let go of Thomas Frank earlier this month, and, like Manchester United, they’ve decided to go with a temporary setup for now and figure out the bigger picture in the summer.
Tudor, who’s managed clubs like Marseille, Lazio, and Juventus, is set to take charge for the first time this weekend in the North London derby against Arsenal. Saltor will be in the dugout for his first Spurs match, too.
If you’ve followed Saltor’s career, you might know he’s often worked with Graham Potter. That’s how he ended up at both Chelsea and West Ham. When Potter left Chelsea in 2023, Saltor took over as interim head coach. His one match in charge ended in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool. Frank Lampard replaced him soon after, and Saltor stayed on as part of the coaching staff until Mauricio Pochettino arrived, at which point he moved on. He later reunited with Potter at West Ham but left when Potter did in September.
Tottenham’s official statement confirmed the news: “Following the arrival of Igor Tudor as Head Coach until the end of the season, we can now confirm the appointment of three additional coaches to our Men’s First Team coaching staff. We welcome Bruno Saltor as Igor's assistant coach." Born in El Masnou, Spain, Saltor started his playing career in his home country before joining Brighton in 2012. He made 235 appearances there over seven years, then moved into coaching with the Seagulls after retiring in 2019. Since then, he’s picked up experience at Chelsea and West Ham.
Along with Saltor’s appointment, Spurs also announced some departures. Justin Cochrane, John Heitinga, and Chris Haslam are all leaving the coaching staff after Frank’s exit. The club thanked them for their efforts and wished them well.
GLASNER OUT? CRYSTAL PALACE CONSIDERING IMMEDIATE EXIT FOR BOSS AFTER DISMAL EUROPEAN DRAW
Oliver Glasner’s exit is imminent! Discover why Robbie Keane has emerged as the favorite to lead Crystal Palace out of crisis.
Oliver Glasner was supposed to stick around at Crystal Palace until the end of the season. That was the plan, anyway. But after another rough run of results, his exit could come a lot sooner.
Thursday night in Bosnia should’ve been nothing special, just a routine first leg against a team Palace should handle easily, with the real test back at Selhurst Park next week. Instead, a 1-1 draw against Zrinjski Mostar turned into another mess in a season that’s gotten uglier by the week for Glasner and Palace.
The travelling fans didn’t hide how they felt.
Palace have only managed one win in their last 15 games. That’s not a blip; it’s a full-on collapse, and it looks like Glasner’s time might be up even faster than everyone thought.
People at the top of the club have started openly asking if letting Glasner finish out his contract is actually hurting more than helping. He said back in January that he’d leave when his deal was up in the summer, but with results falling off a cliff and morale at rock bottom, those discussions have picked up speed.
Word is, Palace have already started looking for Glasner’s replacement, planning for a summer hire. But now, it looks like they might bring in his successor right away.
One name has shot straight to the top of the list: Robbie Keane.
TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook says Palace are considering Keane as a short-term fix if Glasner goes before the season ends. Keane’s reputation has soared lately. He won the Israeli Premier League with Maccabi Tel Aviv, then took the Hungarian league title in his first season at Ferencváros.
His win rate at Maccabi was over 73 per cent. He’s also done time as an assistant coach at Leeds and Middlesbrough. People who’ve played for him, like Ireland’s Callum O’Dowda, rave about him. O’Dowda said, “As soon as he opens his mouth, you want to listen. It’s phenomenal, really. On the coaching side,e he has been good.”
For now, Keane is still in charge at Ferencvaros, who are still in the Europa League, so prying him away won’t be simple.
Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the relegation zone, but that gap feels less safe with every week they fail to win.
Tottenham even considered Keane as an interim manager before they went with Igor Tudor.
