Ex-United midfielder Darren Fletcher recently suggested not one player in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s squad had managed to beat Wan-Bissaka since he joined.
Asked whether that was true, W…

Inter coach Andrea Stramaccioni insists his side have more to worry about than just Tottenham star Gareth Bale in their Europa League tie.
Bale announced himself on the continent with a stunning second-half hat-trick against Inter in 2010 in the Champions League.
The two teams meet in the Europa League last-16 at White Hart Lane on Thursday, and Stramaccioni has warned that the Wales winger is not the only player that needs to be watched.

Bale is now one of the most complete players on the European scene…
