News about Leandro Trossard

Wayne Rooney was right to claim that Man United players are hiding behind injuries to avoid criticism, Graeme Souness says... as he alleges some are 'choosing not to play' despite being fit

A bare-bones United lost 1-0 against Arsenal on Sunday after Leandro Trossard's first-half goal and are at risk of missing out on European football altogether. Several first-team regulars were once again ruled out at Old Trafford with the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez watching from afar. Mason Mount, Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane were also among those to miss out, forcing Erik ten Hag to cobble together a misshapen side against the league leaders. But Rooney has little sympathy for United's squad and even accused some of using their injuries as an excuse to duck out of the firing line during a horror campaign. Now, Souness has revealed this damning allegation was also made to him.

Mail Sport's Ian Ladyman has claimed that Manchester United should tear down Old Trafford and build a brand new stadium like Tottenham, after images of the disrepair of the old ground once again went viral after the 1-0 loss to Arsenal.  Leandro Trossard scored the only goal of the game as the Gunners re-took top spot from Manchester City, yet the fallout of the game came against the backdrop of a torrent of water leaking through the Old Trafford roof.  Images after the game showed floods of water cascading down the stands and into the tunnel, while images from the away dressing room in fact showed water leaking through the ceiling.

The veteran midfielder (left) was again fielded as an emergency defender alongside Jonny Evans at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Ten Hag missing all but one of his senior centre backs, but made a sloppy error in the build-up to Leandro Trossard's goal. After Andre Onana launched a long ball down the pitch, Casemiro failed to race out to play Kai Havertz offside (top right), allowing him to fire in a low cross for Trossard to score. He also endured a calamitous display in United's 4-0 defeat by Crystal Palace and Keown (inset) insisted this performance should have triggered Ten Hag (bottom right) to make a change.

This season's title race will head into the final weekend of the season following Arsenal's 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday, and Gary Neville has revealed which fixture he earmarked as a potential decider a month ago.  Leandro Trossard netted the only goal at Old Trafford after a Kai Havertz assist - only Cole Palmer now has more contributions in 2024 than the German - as Arsenal took three huge points back to London.  It was another poor showing at the back from United and Casemiro in particular, with the hosts now losing a joint-record nine home league games for 2023-24.

Ten Hag's injury-hit side limped to another defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday as Leandro Trossard's goal kept Arsenal's title hopes alive. But Rooney alleged that some of the United players currently out of action are merely ducking out of the firing line. 'Some of those players can play, 100 per cent,' said United's record goal scorer. 'Because they're getting a little bit of stick, it's easy for players to stay out and come back towards the FA Cup final and get themselves right for the European Championships.'

CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: Leandro Trossard's first half goal was enough for Mikel Arteta's side to put the pressure on Manchester City and go top of the table once again, with City having two games left to play and Arsenal one. It was a reasonably straightforward win for the visitors, and, though they may have hoped to have scored more, never looked troubled at the other end of the field.

Shambolic VAR is SLAMMED again after ruling out Bournemouth's goal against Arsenal in 'baffling' decision - as even Gunners legend Ian Wright and Piers Morgan admit they 'got away with it'

www.dailymail.co.uk, May 4, 2024
Both sides found themselves on the wrong end of divisive decisions from the officials during a dramatic showdown at the Emirates, with Ryan Christie escaping a red card for a high tackle and the Cherries seeing a goal ruled out in the second half (left). Strikes from Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard put Arsenal on course to move four points clear at the top of the Premier League but the visitors hit back through Antoine Semenyo, the forward bundling in after Christie's strike hit the woodwork. The effort was chalked off, however, after Dominic Solanke was adjudged to have fouled goalkeeper David Raya (top right) after backing into him in the build-up. As the loose ball dropped inside the penalty area, Solanke moved into Raya's path and looked to pressure him while the stopper tried to punch away. Cherries boss Andoni Iraola was incensed (bottom right) but his appeals fell on deaf ears.

Arsenal took another step towards the Premier League title with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth that moves them four points clear at the top of the table.  Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got the vital goals for the Gunners but two major question marks over VAR will dominate the discussion of the game, after claims Kai Havertz dived to win a penalty that Saka converted.  And after Trossard finished off a well-worked move in the second half, Bournemouth were left raging after Antoine Semeyo's strike was ruled out due to a foul on David Raya in the build-up, despite minimal contact. Declan Rice later wrapped up the win with a close range finish.

All Howard Webb's shiny TV show does is pander to the mob and fuel the conspiracy theorists... this pursuit of perfection is only making the idiots angrier, writes IAN LADYMAN

IAN LADYMAN: Howard Webb (pictured top left) wants to help but the truth is he is not helping. The head of the refereeing body wants to introduce openness and transparency and dialogue into the relationship between match officials, football clubs and the public. His motives are honourable but standing in front of television cameras and talking about mistakes made by those he is paid to represent is the wrong move driven by the best intentions.

SAMI MOKBEL AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Arsenal scored twice from corners in their 3-2 win against their deadly rivals amid a growing trend that has seen Spurs struggle at defending from dead ball situations. Postecoglou, when asked in March, said he wasn't planning to add a specialist set-piece coach to his staff - a role a number of clubs have looked to fill in recent years. Tottenham were caught on the wrong end of a number of refereeing decisions during the game. Leandro Trossard caught Dejan Kulusevski in the Arsenal box just seconds before Bukayo Saka doubled Arsenal's lead, while Spurs also had a goal from Mick van de Ven disallowed for a tight offside call.
