Former Manchester United academy star Timothy Fosu-Mensah has revealed the 'strict rules' enforced by the Old Trafford hierarchy during his time at the club. The 27-year-old‚ now a free agent‚ joined Manchester United's academy from Ajax in 2014. Speaking to GiveMeSport‚ Fosu-Mensah described how the switch from the Amsterdam club brought significant challenges‚ not least adjusting to the stricter coaching standards in Manchester compared with those in the Netherlands.
Ajax were forced to abandon their league match against Groningen on Sunday night after fans let off an inferno of pyrotechnics in the stands of the Johan Cruyff Arena. The impromptu firework display began just five minutes into the Eredivisie clash and the explosions were such that both sets of players were stopped in their tracks. The game was immediately suspended as players were led back down the tunnel.
Jose Mourinho has labelled one of his favourite former players a 'fatty guy' after reuniting with the midfielder in Amsterdam on Tuesday night. The Benfica boss‚ 62‚ travelled to the Dutch capital to take on Ajax in the Champions League‚ triumphing 2-0 thanks to goals from Samuel Dahl and Leandro Barreiro. The victory‚ Benfica's first in the competition this season‚ was not all that brought a smile to Mourinho's face on the night‚ as the Portuguese manager linked up with an old friend moments before the game.
OLIVER HOLT AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: When they were kings‚ when they were rulers of England and Europe‚ when they carried all before them‚ Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah‚ looked to Jordan Henderson as their leader‚ the captain who drove them with a relentless hunger that never dimmed. Van Dijk and Salah have stayed at Anfield and won fresh honours but on Tuesday night‚ the odyssey on which Henderson embarked two years ago brought him up against the friends and teammates he won titles with for the first time. Henderson's travels have taken him to Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia and to the once mighty Ajax of Amsterdam and there were times before he arrived at Brentford in the summer when people thought his career was fast ebbing away.
Champions League: Highlights and reaction as Liverpool hit five‚ Chelsea thrash 10-man Ajax & Spurs draw
KIERAN GILL: Sometimes‚ we can forget quite how young this Chelsea side under Enzo Maresca truly is‚ then an evening such as this occurs in which it is so record-breakingly blatant that it becomes impossible to ignore. For the first time in Champions League history‚ three teenagers scored for a side in a single game. That was Marc Guiu‚ Estevao Willian and Tyrique George. To make matters even more ludicrous‚ Chelsea's youngest scorer in this competition's history was Reece James‚ who was 19 years and 332 days of age when he scored in a 4-4 draw with Ajax in November 2019. Guiu‚ Estevao and George are all even younger than James was that night. Each could have had the record for himself therefore had only one of them scored. As all three did‚ Estevao sneaked it at the age of 18 years and 181 days‚ with Guiu and George both 19 and change.
As Chelsea prepare to welcome Ajax to Stamford Bridge for the third match of their Champions League campaign‚ one of the former stars who played for both clubs weighed in on the fortunes of the two teams. But unlike many former professional footballers‚ Jesper Gronkjaer has gone some years without sharing his opinions publicly‚ having given up his lucrative career as a television pundit.
Follow Daily Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score‚ team news and updates as Chelsea host Ajax at Stamford Bridge‚ whilst Tottenham travel to Stade Louis II to take on AS Monaco‚ with Kieran Gill and Matt Barlow reporting from the grounds.
