They found “instead, pitches marked for United’s type of football. The hotel management, who are supposed to have informed the club in advance, did not want to realign them and refused Armagh’s request to do it themselves.”
The paper reports that “sources have told Confidential that United first became aware of the matter when the story appeared in the Irish media last week.”
Interaction with fans
Irish fans were treated to a treat when Portuguese star Bruno Fernandes and veteran Harry Maguire stayed for an hour after training to sign autographs and interact with fans.
It was announced yesterday that Maguire had signed a new one-year deal at Old Trafford, and it “only underlines what many staff have been saying behind the scenes about the importance of keeping experienced leaders and role models in the dressing room, which was a key motivator behind renewing Maguire’s contract.”
