Cunha + Elanga debut, sobs are explained

In the midst of the announcement of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Carnival Rules, some soccer actually broke on Saturday.

Only pre-season football, mind, with a meaningful takeaways in the short supply at this stage of fitness development.

However, 13 Premier League teams in action on Saturday – and some things attracted our attention.

We started our scout notes notes Manchester United 0-0 Leeds United And Celtic 4-0 Newcastle United.

Manchester United 0-0 Leeds United

In short, this friendly: Matheus Cunha Will not solve all the problems of Man Utd, while Leeds looks solid enough not to be abolished next season.

There is a lot of time in pre-season for both teams to be better or worse, of course.

How Cunha has the fate of his debut

Cunha is a bright spark in running out of 45 minutes, playing as a ’10’ left side as expected. Running and nearby control proved to have problems for Leeds, who was forced to pollute several occasions.

Teeing Several opportunities for teammates before resting, he also saw the lead line Broken Nick the ball from his toes when he is ready to curve into the goal.

“Of course, you can see that the relationship between him and Bruno is still not there. But that will be a good relationship.” – Ruben Amorim in Matheus Cunha

The Red Devils on the contrary, however, are quite turgid. Although this is only a friendly pre-season, it also applies to the Ruben Amorim side for most 2024/25.

Bruno Fernandes Played deeper in midfield (and arrested drama set), temporarily Amad Diallo Initially operated at the right wing back before moving further up. With Bryan Mbeumo Stipulated to arrive, the future of the two midfielders may be further than what FPL manager wants. The same thing applies Kobbie Mainoo.

Toby Collyer ‘S placement as number 10 right side shouted ‘Placeholder’, meanwhile …

Bruno Fernandes played in a deeper role with Casemiro, as could be done when the OT season began. Toby Collyer in a place intended for Bryan Mbeumo.

United jumped into a dying life in Bara, by Mainoo hitting the bar in the middle of several penalty boxes. However, at that time, Leeds had many of their beginners.

“We suffered a little when we tried to press high, they kicked the ball, won the second ball and they were dangerous at the time. We had a lack of speed, especially in the middle of the park, and you could feel it, [so] It’s hard to carry the ball [forward]. ” – Ruben Amorim

Just ordinary items, then, with some glimmer of hope from Cunha. Center HALves in the second half Heaven Ayden And Leny Yoro Worth it too.

BOGogle attracts attention

Leeds holds their own and arguably appears as the most achievers for the pieces of games.

Really attracts attention, ironically when a lot of focus is now in the middle in FPL, is Jayden bogged.

Six goals printing in 2024/25, the skills of attacking him were displayed at Stockholm. Bombing forward from the right back, he almost scored from close range in the second half, forcing rescue from Tom Heaton. Maybe lacking the last graduation, he still looks dangerous and gives a teen -wing -back Diego Leon hot afternoon.

New wing back Gabriel Gudmundsson Also impressed forward, taking an angle after his introduction.

Summer signing fellow Cereal Felix Lead the line in the first round and looks like a decent detention striker type. The top scorer of the championship last season, Joel Piroereplaced him in the first round and set several opportunities.

There is no chance to Patrick Bamford Entering Daniel Fire thinks of …

“On the second day of pre-season, I took him to my office and told him that he was not in my plan for the coming season.” – Daniel Farke at Patrick Bamford

Wilfried GnontoA career has been stuck in the last few years but he looks bright with BOGogle. Daniel JamesThe man is expected to start on that side this season, coming to the interval.

Debutant Jaka Bijol is part of the rear row effort which is quite solid, while the middle midfielder In Tanaka given a license to attack a little more than we used to see in 2024/25. He slapped a good opportunity.

Manchester United First-Half XI: Bayindir; Mazraoui, and Ligt, Shaw; Amaz, Casemiro, Fernandes, Leon, Colly, Cunha; Obi.

Celtic 4-0 Newcastle United

Oh, dear.

The score that sounds worrying but Eddie Howe is not too busy after full time, highlighting the fact that this is the fifth friendly Celtic and the only Newcastle.

“This is a test that, maybe, came a little too early for us. We have a long week in Austria, not making reasons, but young people come to a tired, little game, but it is a great training for us.

“I think they are far in front of us, wise fitness. I think it’s a very useful lesson for us to learn because we usually do that to other teams.” – Eddie Howe

Absent sobs are explained

There isn’t any Alexander Isaac In the Newcastle squad, encourage questions about his future. Transfer speculation, in fact, part of the reason Howe eliminates it on Saturday.

“I don’t think it’s easy for any player to be under the supervision and that is part – 10% – the reason why he is not here today. I just want him to focus on himself and training and ready for next week.

“For any player, it is not easy to handle and is not easy to understand when you apply for calls and messages from players and people who ask all kinds of kinds, because the media is now so strong and the message of the media goes far and wide.

“I will never provide guarantees about anyone (Stay) Because I have been in football for a long time to find out that I can look silly. But, the desire of everyone to make him as strong as they should. The cross that will happen to us.” – Eddie Howe at Alexander Sob

Debut Sela

It was a horror show on the back for Magpies. The purpose comes from a penalty, terrible Nick Pope Mistakes, breakaway, and play -recycled set. Real horror shop on the back, with established names like Fabian Schar far below par. Lack of wing -back speed without Tino Livramento (Recess extended) and Lewis Hall (injured) is also a factor.

Anthony Luna coming to the interval, changing the position of the position Jacob Murphy.

It was a bright bow, his steps were clearly a weapon on the right. Sweden saw a shot saved and whipped in several crosss, but had William Osula To connect with rather than sobs will always be defective.

Newcastle United XI: Pope (FEPPIER 46), TRIPPIER (KRAFTH 46), SCHAR (LASCELLES 46), BOTMAN (BURN 46), TARPHY (A. MURPHY 46), GUMARAS (White 46), Willack (Tillock 46), Miley 76), J. Murphy (Elanga 46), Osula.
