Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will find out today if the Football Association deem his weekend sending off worthy of a touchline ban.

Manchester United outcast Bastian Schweinsteiger rejoined first-team training today.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho says he prefers Marcus Rashford being with England’s U21s at the moment rather than warming the bench for the seniors.

Jose Mourinho should be sent to prison over his treatment of Bastian Schweinsteiger, according to a member of world players' union FifPro.

This was the night when France began to heal before our very eyes, a night when La Marseillaise was sung louder than it has ever been sung, a night when Antoine Griezmann became a national hero — and when Les Bleus dramatically and deservedly reached the final of Euro 2016.

Bastian Schweinsteiger will lead Germany onto the field for tonight’s Euro 2016 semi-final against France after being passed fit to play.

Jose Mourinho is close to becoming Manchester United manager, although the appointment has been complicated by the fact former club Chelsea own the trademark to his name.

A lot has changed in the two years since Manchester United appointed Louis Van Gaal, but one thing has not: The man himself.

Out-of-favour striker Christian Benteke says he would never have joined Liverpool if he felt he was not going to be a “priority”.

Louis van Gaal believes people are “living in the past” if they think Manchester United and Liverpool are above Europe’s second-tier competition.

Man United 1 Sheffield United 0: Louis van Gaal insisted the result was all-important after Manchester United limped into the fourth round of the FA Cup thanks to Wayne Rooney’s late penalty against League One side Sheffield United.

Manchester United’s swash has well and truly buckled.

Leicester City 1 Manchester United 1: In many ways Saturday was a severe case of deja vu for Jamie Vardy. On the same weekend four years ago he also scored in a 1-1 draw, playing through the pain barrier to help his side earn a valuable point.

Jamie Vardy broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s scoring record but Leicester had to settle for a draw against Manchester United despite yet another thrilling display from Claudio Ranieri’s side.

Manchester United 2 West Brom 0: Critics of Louis van Gaal and his Old Trafford style lament that his team might win but ‘it’s not the Manchester United of old’.

Crystal Palace 0 Manchester United 0<br>While Louis Van Gaal continues to wrestle with the problem of how to get his Manchester United side scoring again, Alan Pardew offered a revealing perspective on the options available to the Dutchman.

CSKA Moscow 1 Manchester United 1: No-one would call it exciting or convincing but a 1-1 draw against CSKA has left Manchester United well placed in their Champions League qualifying group and in a good place ahead of Sunday’s crucial Manchester derby.

I’m not sure there’s much point in us gathering here today to celebrate what was arguably United’s most enjoyable performance of the season...

You know the expression “to have your arse handed to you on a plate”?

Louis van Gaal deems it a work in progress and he is right. Manchester United still look well short of the team that considered they had few equals at home or abroad in their pomp under Alex Ferguson but having gone top of the Premier League they have also now secured opening win in the Champions League.

Louis van Gaal has cast doubt on the idea that he will walk away from Manchester United in 2017, but admits delaying his retirement would be hard on his wife.

Man Utd 3 Sunderland 0: As a proven winner of league championships across Europe, Louis van Gaal knows what it takes to stay the course and finish on top.

Manchester United 3 Ipswich 0: Anthony Martial stepped off the bench and scored his fourth goal in four matches as Manchester United strolled into the fourth round of the Capital One Cup with a 3-0 win over Ipswich.

Usually, no-one at Old Trafford looks forward to Southampton away. It’s a horrendous journey, their fans can be deeply unpleasant, and it’s hardly the glamour fixture of our calendar.

In my previous column a fortnight ago, on the cusp of transfer deadline day, I held up a stressed Irish Examiner sports editor with a last-minute Sunday evening insertion. “I’ve heard on the grapevine that United might be in Monaco, chasing some French player: Throw in this extra line about it, just in case, would you?”

Owen Hargreaves knew Bastian Schweinsteiger was different when the Manchester United midfielder approached him and demanded his boots.

Manchester United face their rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford this evening without the services of striker Wayne Rooney.

Germany 3 Poland 1: Germany followed the example of Georgia last night by doing the Ireland a major favour in the Euro qualification pursuit.

Three days on from the 76th anniversary of Germany invading Poland, a movement of sorts has occurred in the opposite direction for tonight’s top-of-the-table Group D tie in Frankfurt (7.45pm).

Club Brugge 0 Manchester United 4 (Manchester United win 7-1 on aggregate): Mission accomplished for Manchester United and Wayne Rooney, in more ways than one, as a hat-trick and routine Champions League victory in Brugge carried Louis van Gaal’s team into today’s draw for the group stages.

Aston Villa 0 Man United 1: Adnan Januzaj lasted less than an hour in his first start for six months, but it was long enough to deliver Manchester United their second win of the new season. 

MANCHESTER UNITED 1 TOTTENHAM 0:The swagger and arrogance were there, with a few histrionics thrown in for good measure – perhaps Manchester United have struck upon a player worthy of the No.7 shirt.

If there’s one lesson United fans have long since learned about season openers, it’s not to pay too much attention to first impressions.

"Here we are again, our bright shiny faces upturned hopefully to face another new season’s dawn. Tell your wife summer is officially dead to you, and let’s get our boots on.

According to reports, Benfica winger Nicolas Gaitan is in negotiations for a possible move to the Premier League side this summer.

Pep Guardiola has cast doubts over Bastian Schweinsteiger’s fitness by revealing the Manchester United midfielder has not been problem-free for three years.
