Here are today’s English football news headlines.
Weekend Snack Ice Cream
Arsenal fell to Manchester United 1-3 despite the team’s control of the match at Old Trafford for great moments. The final nail in the coffin came when Marcus Rashford scored his second goal of the evening with a quarter of an hour left. Then coach Mikel Arteta just opted to make a triple change in the form of Fabio Vieira, Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah.
The changes were later seen by some English language experts (many with a united background), including Paul Scholes.
His changes were shocking. I really thought they were lousy and spoiled the game for him, says the former quarterback.
– They looked fine, he didn’t have to change anything. (Gabriel) Jesus, (Gabriel) Martinelli, (Bukayo) Saka, they all looked serious. The changes put an end to this momentum.
Gary Neville agrees to the Sky broadcast.
– They’ve been great for 70 minutes but a bit naive in the last 20. Substitutions, the three changes, I thought were weird, says Neville.
However, no one saw Arteta as unruly as Roy Keane (no big deal) who was “tired of all his excuses”.
– He interviewed Arteta after the match and he is a bad loser. Every time they lose a match, listen to him, it’s just that they didn’t do things right or the referees. Stop making excuses, says Kane.
The Arsenal boss was not partly happy with the referee’s decision to reject Martinelli’s goal in the first half and adds that the team lacked discipline in the second half.
– First it will be with Bruno (Fernandes) and three against three in the defensive line and we don’t follow our principles and then give in to the goal that was two goals to one, says Mikel Arteta regarding the late goals.

Weekend rumor
Diego Costa is expected to be ready to face Wolverhampton later this week. According to Athletic, Costa, who terminated his contract with Atletico Mineiro in January, will travel to England on Tuesday.
The reason for Wolverhampton’s sudden interest is the injury of new Sasa Kalajdzic against Southampton. Coverage on the aggressive side is simply too weak.
Weekend goal
