News about Jaap Stam

In a Sky Sports article, the former Premier League stars played 'Winner Stays On,' a game in which you choose the winner from two options, and whoever you pick remains for the next round until there is a winner. Gareth Southgate vs. Ricardo Carvalho was the first choice. Jamie Carragher chose Carvalho, who later met Jaap Stam.

With his Dutch compatriot lacking the 'peace and quiet' to get to work properly, Jaap Stam is concerned about Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. Despite spending more than £400 million on new players since taking over last year, former United defender Stam admits he can't figure out why Ten Hag can't make his mark on the team. He also worries that Ten Hag's tumultuous clashes with players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane, and Jadon Sancho - not to mention the media - are a bad sign.

Antony is a natural performer who can play for Manchester United, and Jaap Stam isn't sure he's good enough to play for Manchester United. Since boss Erik ten Hag pushed to sign him from his former club Ajax last year, the Brazilian has struggled to make a big difference at Old Trafford. In his debut season with United, the 23-year-old scored eight goals and three assists, but he doesn't have a single goal involvement in his career to date this term.

It was straight out of Sir Alex Ferguson's playbook. On Tuesday, Manchester United's press conference was banned four media outlets from Erik ten Hag's press conference because rumors that players are starting to revolt against the beleaguered boss. After United's communications chief Andrew Ward's drastic steps, Sky Sports, the Daily Mirror, ESPN, and the Manchester Evening News all found themselves on the wrong track. It was a relic of the Ferguson period, when the boss barred journalists and entire media organisations from his briefings with impunity. For Ferguson, it was an exercise in control and the conservation of it, the main difference between the Scot and Ten Hag was that he had the longevity and track record to back it up.

After a disappointing debut season in the Premier League, former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has called on Antony to improve. The Brazilian winger joined the Red Devils from Ajax last summer but disappointed to live up to high hopes. Antony has the talent to be a success at Old Trafford, but he's going to have to'step up a gear' and become less predictable in the forthcoming new season.

Edwin van der Sar has been repatriated to the Netherlands as he begins his recovery from a brain haemorrhage. After suffering a brain haemorrhage while on vacation in Croatia earlier this month, the 52-year-old goalkeeper was rushed to hospital by helicopter. Ajax's statement said that the former Manchester United actor's health remains stable and non-life threatening.

CHRIS WHEELER AT WEMBLEY: As the seconds ticked away at Manchester City's landmark victory, the cameras panned around Wembley Stadium, where the team's cameras became focused on Manchester United's outstanding and admirable achievements. Sir Alex Ferguson bled with his former chief executive David Gill and new co-owner Avram Glazer. Ferguson did not know that the neighbours could be so loud, even though it was not in his worst nightmares. David Beckham sat next to his son Brooklyn and shook his head vehemently in Wembley's posh seats. Among the other United Heroes of '99 who were here to see City take another step toward emulating their historic Treble, which was so rare in English football until now. Peter Schmeichel and Jaap Stam were among the others.

Jaap Stam, a former Manchester United defender, is confident he will cope with Erling Haaland in his prime and that there is a 'easy answer' to doing it. According to the Dutchman, the best way to discourage the Norwegian goal machine from scoring is to starve his service line by excluding Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin de Bruyne from the game. Stam spent four seasons with the Red Devils and was a member of the 1998-1999 championship team.

According to a recent interview, former Manchester United and AC Milan striker Jaap Stam has warned that the club should consider the 'risk' involved with making a transfer for Napoli's star striker Victor Osimhen during the upcoming transfer window. The former defender argued that although the forward, who became Serie A's highest-scoring African player after beating George Weah's record in May, was a good pick as the club's search for a versatile target man, Osimhen's lacks the necessary competition nous for success in England. Stam, on the other hand, argued that Harry Kane, United's top pick, has more than 'proven himself' to be able to perform at the highest level for the Red Devils.

Following his appointment of his former boss Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, the Dutch defender was previously linked with a transfer to the Red Devils. However, after a series of talks during last summer's transfer window, negotiations between the two sides fell apart and Timber decided to remain at his boyhood club. Liverpool are also keen on the 21-year-old, but former centre-back Stam worries that Timber will have a tough time against Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. 'He already knows Ten Hag and vice versa, which is a major advantage of United Timber,' Stam told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad.

MARK CLATTENBURG: Roy Keane raged against referee Andy D'Urso, with Jaap Stam and Ryan Giggs in tow, for giving the first league point to Manchester United in six years against Old Trafford. Back then, the FA tried to do something by instructing the captains of the clubs, with one suggestion being that only they should speak to the officials. The trial was continuing. It has no way entered football's rules. It seems that respect for referees has grown in importance in the English game.

IAN LADYMAN: An unpalatable yet unquestionable truth has emerged in modern professional football in this region. Certain swear words can be used to target a referee or match official, but not others. So it's completely legal to tell a referee in the Premier League to 'f*** off'. If a player does that, he will generally be fine. If he uses bigger words, as an example one that begins with a "c," he may not be okay. There is no style book to which our representatives can refer. Every man or woman in black has their own interpretation of what constitutes acceptable conduct. One man's 'w****r' could be another woman's 'b*****d.'

CRAIG HOPE: Save for Brazil, are there any colours more synonymous with a World Cup than those of Holland and Argentina? The feelings invoked are personal to some, but not mine. For me, it was one of the last truly memorable World Cup matches (pictured). Influencing such sentiment is the belief that, as opposed to nearly every tournament's charmless, identikit bowls, Marseille's majestic Stade Velodrome is immediately identifiable. Qatar's stadiums may look stunning from the outside, but every game has taken place at the same central venue, according to a television viewer at least. The best World Cups have always been about the exoticism of the location - the shadows, patterns of the grass, architectural distinction, camera angle, and the seat colors. Think about the Azteca, San Siro, Giants Stadium. Consider Stade Velodrome. And there was a sensory overload of chaos, color, and entertainment in 1998's sunny Saturday afternoon.

After the 37-year-old's latest behaviour, Jaap Stam has lauded Erik ten Hag's stern treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo and wished that his old boss Sir Alex Ferguson would have dished out his famous 'hairdryer' treatment. Ronaldo refused to come off the bench against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday and left Old Trafford before full time in Manchester United's 2-0 victory. In the latest in a string of apparent deteriorations between the boss and his star striker, Ten Hag responded by banning the striker to train with the U21s.

Pundits have wondered whether Lisandro Martinez - the Premier League's youngest center-back - would be able to cope with the physicality of the English top flight. Nevertheless, Stam has defended Martinez, alleging that the former Ajax player is 'quality on the ball,'quality in defense,' and 'good' at communicating.

Roy Keane could not deny his delight at Manchester United's swashbuckling victory over Liverpool. And there's no wonder. The Red Devils relived the glory days of Keane's period, when passion, graft, and guile ignited the crowd, making Old Trafford a feared venue for visiting teams. This disaffected club has never looked so united and united in recent years. During the pre-match riots against the Glazer family, the team became perfectly aligned last night, and together they crushed their opponents.
