Man United confirm loan deal for youngster

Manchester United today confirmed via their official Twitter account that James Wilson will spend the rest of the season on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Manager Louis van Gaal, was reluctant to send the young striker out on loan at the start of the season because he was unsure how the campaign at Old Trafford would develop. However the decision has now been made that the 19-year-old needs to be playing regularly to develop further, so the England U21 forward is set to join Chris Hughton’s Brighton side in the second tier.

Wilson has made just one Premier League appearance this season for the Red Devils, coming on as a substitute for the final 11 minutes of the 3-0 defeat to Arsenal. The youngster was afforded more chances last term by Van Gaal, playing in 13 league games and scoring one goal for the club.

Brighton currently sit second in the Championship, with just goal difference separating them from Hull City in top spot. However they’re the only side still undefeated in the division, as they look to reach the top tier of English football for the first time since 1983.

Wilson could make his debut for the Seagulls in the match against Birmingham City at the weekend.

Juventus defeat Man City to go top of table

Manchester city had already sealed qualification to the knockout stages in the previous round of matches but would draw one of the tournament favourites in the last 16 by virtue of finishing second.

Mario Mandzukic ultimately proved the match winner in the early stages, shrugging off the attentions of Nicolas Otamendi to turn home from close range. Fernando and Alvaro Morata both struck the woodwork in the second half before Raheem Sterling squandered a brilliant late chance to equalise as the Italian champions leapfrogged their opponents in Group D.

With City looking to avoid back-to-back defeats for the first time this season after a run of nine games unbeaten, Manuel Pellegrini opted to drop Sterling to the bench after a chastening night against former team Liverpool at the weekend.Fernandinho looked the most likely to find a breakthrough in the early stages, firing wide from 20 yards and then inexplicably blazing over when the Brazilian’s composure deserted him.And the City midfielder’s profligacy was punished after 18 minutes. Paul Pogba broke quickly into the visitors’ half, fed Alex Sandro who whipped an inviting cross for Mandzukic to guide past Hart from eight yards out.

City, and Otamendi in particular, felt aggrieved as Mandzukic appeared to push the Argentine defender to the floor but their appeals fell on deaf ears. Juventus were now in the ascendancy and Hart brilliantly sprang low to his left to keep out a fierce Mandzukic half volley not long after. City were struggling to create an opening but were nearly gifted an equaliser when Aguero pounced on a wayward Claudio Marcisio back pass, only to have his efforts smothered by veteran Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

Both sides were then denied agonizingly by the woodwork after the break. Fernando appeared to have equalised for City but for Buffon’s brilliant reflex save as he tipped the Brazilian’s header onto the post. And City were left releasing a huge sigh of relief almost immediately AS the post denied both Morata and Paulo Dybala in quick succession with the visitors' defence all at sea. Pellegrini’s side were again indebted to Hart’s awareness with just over 10 minutes remaining, blocking Morata’s goal bound effort with his right foot after the Spanish striker had left Otamendi for dead. And substitute Sterling then should have earned a share of the spoils, somehow contriving to skew wide from Kevin De Bruyne’s perfect cross with the goal at his mercy.

Elsewhere in the group, Borussia Monchengladbach ended Sevilla's slimchances of qualification with an absorbing 4-2 win in Germany.

Man United held to goalless draw by PSV


The Red Devils again looked short in the final third, with Anthony Martial’s effort the most memorable in the first half, when Jeroen Zoet saved his shot from the far side of the box.Jesse Lingard, who has been one of United’s bright sparks in recent weeks, looked brightest in the first period and he should have scored 20minutes from the end, squandering a chance and failing to test the goalkeeper.


Before kick-off, some of the travelling Dutch fans made a kind gesture in wishing Red Devils defender Luke Shaw a speedy recovery, after the young English left-back suffered a double leg fracture in the previous tie in Eindhoven.


After a quiet start to the match, another tribute took place on seven minutes. With it being ten years to the day since United great George Best’s passing, fans around Old Trafford held up phone marks in tribute to the Northern Irishman. Louis van Gaal’s men soon began to look lively, first when captain Wayne Rooney made ground down the right before pulling a cross along the box, Martial stepping over the ball for Lingard in space, but the in-form youngster’s touch was heavy.
Daley Blind’s floated corner after half an hour produced a good chance for the hosts, as Morgan Schneiderlin’s effort was saved well by keeper Zoet. The Dutch giants soon made a dangerous break, with the ball making its way to Jorrit Hendrix, whose curling effort was met, and well held, by De Gea. Martial had the best chance of the match as Lingard’s shot deflected into the Frenchman’s path. With the outside of his boot, he struck from ten yards but it was straight at Zoet, who also parried ex-PSV man Depay’s shot before the interval, after good work by the ever-improvingChris Smalling.

The home side looked livelier early in the second half, with the realisation of how important a win would be going into the final group match. Depay had another effort saved before he was substituted against his former club, but he was largely ineffective on the night.The visitors reminded United of their threat when Davy Propper went close, setting himself up on the edge of the box, juggling the ball on themove before firing a volley into the hands of De Gea.

Substitute Ashley Young looked to make an impact, but his cross into a dangerous part of the box was not met by Rooney or fellow substitute Marouane Fellaini. Eindhoven attacked on the break and it looked like they could punish United before Jurgen Locadia selfishly opted to shoot, pulling the ball wide at the near post. A 72nd-minute chance summed up Van Gaal’s side’s night. Young’s cross was deflected and it bounced into the path of Lingard, who lacked composure, failed to get over the ball and he struck over the bar from 12 yards.

CSKA Moscow 0 Wolfsburg 2: Schurrle eliminates CSKA's side


Andre Schurrle came off the bench to score twice and earn Wolfsburg a potentially vital Champions League win over CSKA Moscow.
Wolfsburg remain on course to reach the Champions League round of 16 after substitute Andre Schurrle's double earned a 2-0 win away to CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.
Defeat for the Russian side eliminates them from the competition and they were the architects of their own downfall as goalkeeper and captain Igor Akinfeev's painful individual error saw him concede for the 36th European match in succession Schurrle the beneficiary.
Schurrle added a second in the 88th minute to make sure of all three points for the Bundesliga side.
The away win sees Wolfsburg climb to first place in Group B on nine points, two ahead of Manchester United and three ahead of PSV ahead of their match at Old Trafford later in the day.
CSKA remain bottom on four points and are left to contend for a place in the Europa League round of 32 by finishing third, provided PSV do not win at Old Trafford.
