MAN UNITED SEND FIRM MESSAGE TO HARRY MAGUIRE AFTER AGREEMENT REACHED
Wayne Rooney & Peter Crouch defend Harry Maguire, calling the criticism he's faced "bullying." As the Man United defender enters the final year of his contract, his future at Old Trafford is uncertain.

Harry Maguire has been treated unfairly at Manchester United, according to Wayne Rooney and Peter Crouch. Having just entered the last year of his contract, the 32-year-old defender's future at Old Trafford is now uncertain.
Unless Maguire signs a new contract before then, international clubs will be able to start pre-contract negotiations with him in January regarding a summer free transfer. United will have to make a tough choice if the England international does not sign an extension.
The Reds will need to decide if they would rather cut their losses and recover a little portion of the £80 million they spent on Maguire's signing during the forthcoming January transfer window, or lose him at the end of the current campaign. The Daily Mail claims that although United is negotiating a new contract with the player, they have not yet made an offer.
According to the article, the conditions of the agreement, such as the duration of the contract, would determine Maguire's likelihood of accepting a wage reduction. Rooney and Crouch feel the Englishman has been treated unfairly, even though he has saved the Reds many times in the past.
After United defeated Liverpool 2-1, Rooney stated on his podcast: "Today demonstrates why he should be in the World Cup squad. And I mean it. He seems really significant to me.
"I believe that dealing with Harry's experiences would have been quite difficult for me. He was a meme for years, you know. Somewhere in Africa, I have seen him in Parliament, where they are making fun of him for being involved in it.
He is really resilient to have endured that, given how much he has had to cope with. After having his armband removed, he was ridiculed by others.
"You know, this man has been on the World Cup teams of the tournament and has been amazing for England and Man United, and it is just unfair and it was bullying," Rooney continued.
"He was being bullied everywhere, so you would have to say, 'You know what, that is a strong human being,' to have coped with that, persevered through it, and stuck with it."
"And I could not be happier for him because he and his family have overcome that and come out on the other side, demonstrating his skill, quality, and strength."
Crouch echoed the United legend's comments, singing from the same hymn sheet. The former striker for Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool stated on his podcast: "I am simply really, really happy for him.
"I have had a lot of grief and a lot of pain during my career, so I can somewhat understand what it is like to be low. I believe it went beyond what was appropriate for him to experience that kind of grief.
"Everything was wrong with the way he has been villainised at that club, including attacking his family, his mentality, and his appearance."
"I simply think it shows absolutely huge b******* to go [and perform] constantly," Crouch continued. Even during the match against Liverpool, some were asking, "Why is he playing?" The entire notion of being down on him first comes up all the time.
"Listen, he has been called out for his inadequacies on occasion, but I believe the stick went beyond football. Sincerely, I do not want to watch any Manchester United player score when he did.
When it was him, however, I kind of partly thought, 'Good for him, he kind of deserves this,' and I believe that many people in the football world share that sentiment.
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.
The disciplinary committee of the RFEF
"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
