Manchester United players thrilling at World Cup with Marcus Rashford, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes given Man of the Match awards, while Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Man City men star too


It has been a brilliant World Cup for Manchester United stars so far with three of their players picking up a Man of the Match award in the space of a day in Qatar.

The Red Devils have 15 players out in the Middle East, and it was 16 before Cristiano Ronaldo parted ways with the club.

Those players have been taking centre stage out in Qatar with a trio starring for their countries in recent games to pick up the Budweiser-sponsored gong.

First there was Casemiro, who sent Brazil through to the last-16 of the World Cup with his brilliant effort against Switzerland on Monday.

The Manchester United midfielder’s importance for the national side is not lost on his Brazilian teammates with Neymar giving him huge praise after the match.

He tweeted: “Casemiro has been the best midfielder in the world for a long time.”

In the match that followed, Bruno Fernandes scored a brace for Portugal in their 2-0 win over Uruguay.

Ronaldo tried to claim the first of those goals before adidas intervened and proved that it was in fact Fernandes’.

The midfielder was then rightly handed the Man of the Match award as his contributions booked Portugal’s place in the knockout stages.

Marcus Rashford then completed the hat-trick for Manchester United players as he also picked up the award for his double in the 3-0 win over Wales, which also secured England’s place in the last-16.

It would have been a fourth trophy for the Red Devils at the tournament had Ronaldo still been a United player.

Premier League players have been starring Qatar with Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Man City also seeing their players receive awards for their performances.

Christian Pulisic (twice), Kalidou Koulibaly, Hakim Ziyech, Bukayo Saka, Kevin De Bruyne and Richarlison have all starred in games and been named Man of the Match.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss.
