News about Rodrigo Bentancur

Manchester United 's miserable 3-0 defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur left fans asking tough questions about individual performances. With several players failing to meet expectations, the match exposed weaknesses all over the pitch. Who were the main culprits in United's collapse, and how did Spurs capitalise so effectively? Some new signings, expected to make an impact, struggled to adapt to the pace and physicality of the Premier League .

MATT BARLOW: Son Heung-min has told how Rodrigo Bentancur was on the brink of tears as he apologised for the racist slur which has sparked an FA investigation. Bentancur is still waiting for the verdict and could be hit with a lengthy ban but his Tottenham captain has already forgiven him.

The Brazilian striker, who joined Spurs from Everton for £60million, is being taken to a tribunal by Reginaldo Pereira, who says he was axed in the cinema room of the player's mansion. Mr Pereira has since said he was left physically and emotionally broken by his dismissal, according to The Sun . A source said: 'He feels like he was used as a dogsbody, who worked around the clock, and then was unfairly dumped.' It comes after Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur faces a 12 match suspension for making an alleged racist remark about South Koreans whilst on Uruguayan TV.

SAMI MOKBEL: Losing Ngumoha to Liverpool has arrived as a major blow to Chelsea. Those who have watched him view the teenager as a generational talent. 'There is a big distrust with academy boys at Chelsea because of the first team strategy of just signing players,' said one well-placed source. They feel there is no pathway and they will just get lost in the machine. They don't trust that there is a pathway for them to the first-team at Chelsea anymore.'

Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is facing a ban after being charged with misconduct by the Football Association in relation to his comments about the appearance of South Koreans in June. The Spurs midfielder made the bizarre remark during an interview with Uruguayan TV when asked for captain Son Heung-Min's shirt. Bentancur responded to the question telling the interviewer that he should get a jersey from Son's cousin because 'they all look the same'. The 27-year-old has since apologised but has been informed that he has until Thursday 19 September to respond.

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and Barcelona defender Ronaldo Araujo have all been hit with bans by CONMEBOL following clashes between players and fans at the Copa America this summer. The trio were part of the Uruguay squad that lost 1-0 to Colombia in their semi-final in Charlotte, North Carolina on July 10. The match was followed by ugly scenes in the crowd and on the pitch. Nunez was caught on camera throwing punches - though not many landed - after climbing into the stands, apparently in an attempt to protect members of his family.

The Tottenham star was knocked out in the late stages of the 1-1 draw with Leicester, falling to the ground after clashing skulls. He was initially unresponsive and medics rushed on to treat him for seven minutes before he sat up. He still required oxygen before being stretchered off.

Ange Postecoglou provided an update on Rodrigo Bentancur's condition after the Tottenham midfielder was knocked out cold during his side's 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Monday night. The incident occurred with just under 20 minutes left to play at the King Power Stadium as Bentancur clashed heads with Leicester's Abdul Fatawu as he looked to attack a corner, and fell straight to the ground. Bentancur, 27, was initially unresponsive as he lay on the pitch, sparking concern from both sets of players as medics rushed on to aid the Uruguayan.

Over the years, several football players from South American countries have landed themselves in hot water over racism storms. Earlier this week, Argentina's Copa America winning squad came under fire after Enzo Fernandez published a video on social media showing members of his team appearing to sing a 'racist' chant on the team bus. The World Cup winners had bested Colombia 1-0 in the final of the competition, thanks to a strike in extra-time from Lautaro Martinez. But their victory has been marred by the scenes that took place after the match, with several Argentina players seen singing a discriminatory song - which appears to have previously been sung at the 2022 World Cup - and contains the words that French players 'are all from Angola' and that they 'f*** transgender people like f***ing Mbappe'.

Incredible new footage has emerged showing the moment Liverpool star Darwin Nunez entered the stands before throwing punches at supporters after Uruguay's Copa America semi-final defeat by Colombia. An extraordinary post-match brawl ensued just minutes after the referee's final whistle confirmed Colombia's place in Sunday's final. Nunez alongside team-mates including Jose Gimenez and Ronald Araujo battled fans of their opponents, while Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Betancur could be seen flinging two bottles into the stands - only for it to hit a Uruguayan staff member.

Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur was spotted throwing bottles into the crowd amid an extraordinary post-match brawl after Uruguay were dumped out of the Copa America on Wednesday night. Uruguay players took matters into their own hands just minutes after their 1-0 semi-final defeat against Colombia in Charlotte, North Carolina. Liverpool's Darwin Nunez, alongside team-mates including Jose Gimenez and Ronald Araujo, were among those to jump into the crowd as scenes turned ugly after the final whistle.

JAKE NISSE IN CHARLOTTE: They say Premier League matches could soon be played in the USA. In a way, that's aleady happened. Darwin Nunez misses, mazy Luis Diaz runs, Luis Suarez hysterics, lung-busting end-to-end action - you'd be forgiven for forgetting that this match was a Copa America semifinal taking place in North Carolina.  Wednesday's matchup between Colombia and Uruguay - played in an American footballs stadium, no less - had an overwhelming Premier League flavor as Colombia clung to a 1-0 win in an extremely heated clash.

From the car horns mimicking the Uruguayan national anthem while entering the MetLife Stadium parking lots, to the pro-Darwin Nunez crowd packing the lower bowl inside the venue more than an hour before kickoff, the supporters of the two-time World Cup winners expected a joyous night. And the Uruguayans got one in New Jersey, spending most of the game in cruise control, overpowering the lowly Bolivian opponents at every turn.

Son Heung-min has responded to his Tottenham team-mate Rodrigo Bentancur after the midfielder appeared to suggest South Koreans 'look the same' in a bizarre claim on Uruguayan television. Bentancur, 26, was asked by an interviewer last week if he could get his hands on Son's Tottenham shirt and bizarrely responded by telling him to get the jersey 'from his cousin' because 'they all look the same'.  The Uruguayan later issued a heartfelt apology to Son, who is captain of the South Korea football team, after his remark sparked huge controversy and backlash online.

Rodrigo Bentancur has apologised to Tottenham team-mate Son Heung-min after making a comment about the appearance of South Koreans.  During an appearance on Uruguayan TV an interviewer asked Bentancur for Son's Spurs shirt and the midfielder responded with a bizarre comment.  The 26-year-old told the interviewer that he should instead get the shirt from Son's cousin as 'they all look the same'. 

MATT BARLOW: There were plenty of ups and several downs, but things were never dull in Ange Postecoglou's first season at Tottenham. Spurs raced out the blocks at the start of the Australian's tenure, rising to the top of the Premier League table following an unbeaten 10-game run. However, things came crashing down in one of the most bizarre and chaotic Premier League games of all-time when they lost 4-1 to Chelsea at the start of November having been reduced to nine men.

The Uruguayan was replaced by Dejan Kulusevski just minutes after Erling Haaland gave City the lead on the night, prompting a furious outburst by the midfielder as he took his seat on the bench. Footage caught the Spurs star lash out moments after being brought off where he kicked his seat three times in a fit of rage while a worried Bryan Gil could only watch it unfold next to him. The 26-year-old then slammed his bottle of water into the ground before eventually sitting down on the Spurs bench, much to the shock of his team-mates.

IVAN SPECK AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur HOTSPUR STADIUM: Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Nottingham Forest 3-1 on Sunday and promoted Aston Villa to fourth place. As Ange Postecoglou celebrated another triumph, Mail Sport's Ivan Speck gives his player ratings from the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

JOE BERNSTEIN FROM CRAVEN COTTAGE: Fulham took a big stride toward the top half of the Premier League table after beating Tottenham 3-0 on Saturday in a sensational Champions League match. Spurs had won their last seven league games at Craven Cottage, but Ange Postecoglou must be worried that just a week after thrashing European rivals Aston Villa 4-0, his players were so sluggish.

When Brennan Johnson's 96th winner secured the points, Ange Postecoglou's team won another dramatic late victory at home. Tottenham had fallen behind on Pascal Gross' first-half kick, but the Welshman managed to make a way back to the tie on the hour. Victory lifted the north Londoners above Aston Villa to fourth position ahead of their tough match against Manchester United on Sunday. Fans of Spurs were also able to welcome back skipper Son Heung-Min after his exploits at the Asian Cup with South Korea.

SIMON JONES: Tottenham midfielder Pierre Emile Hojbjerg is wanted by Lyon, but his valuation may fall short of what he expects. In the No. 6 pecking order at Spurs, Hojbjerg is behind Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma, meaning only six of his 22 appearances this season have started. The 28-year-old's current deal will end next year, and the north London club may be looking to cash in before then.

Newcastle is currently monitoring Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as the Magpies look to bolster their midfield before the transfer window closes. Newcastle is keen to expand to the area this month, but they may have to resort to a short-term solution to comply with budget legislation if sales are made. Newcastle doesn't have to spend money to get to the right side of FFP, but they do have to buy a much-needed midfielder in this window.

After his private jet was forced to land a three-hour drive away, Andre Onan faces time to make Cameroon's opening Africa Cup on Nations clash against Guinea on Monday evening. Since deciding to join the Cameroon squad late and playing in goal during Man United's 2-2 draw against Tottenham on Sunday, the goalkeeper was hoping for a stress-free journey. However, Onana's private jet was forced to land in Abidjan due to heavy fog in Yamoussoukro, and now the shot-stopper must arrive at the Charles Konan Barry stadium before the match's 5 p.m. kick-off.

Following Sir Jim Ratcliffe's £1.3 billion minority takeover of Manchester United, Erik ten Haged out with his agent just hours after the first match at Old Trafford. On Sunday afternoon, the British billionaire sat in the stands with legendary former Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson to watch his new club hold Tottenham to a thrilling 2-2 draw. Through £72 million summer signing Rasmus Hojlund and out-of-form forward Marcus Rashford, the Red Devils twice took the lead, but Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur netted for the visitors to gain Ange Postecoglou's share of the spoils.
