HEEL TURN 'They do not care' – Fans can't believe what Bruno Fernandes tried while 1-0 down in potentially his last Man Utd game
BRUNO FERNANDES left Man Utd fans stunned with his attempt to get his side back into the game away to Hong Kong.
With the Red Devils trailing 1-0, their captain was put through on goal with the chance to equalise.

But he then attempted a rabona, which the goalkeeper saved with his leg.
The Portugal star was then accused of "not caring" by supporters.
One fan wrote: "Man United 1-0 down to Hong Kong and Bruno tries this…
"They simply don't care!"
And another posted: "Get rid of Bruno asap"
And a third commented: "Ah man the level of arrogance from a team that finished 16th"
But other fans were more annoyed with the actions of Rasmus Hojlund.
That's because Fernandes did manage to retrieve the situation, control the ball again and play a pass to the striker, who was just outside the six-yard box.

But Hojlund failed to control the ball and saw it cleared by the Hong Kong defence.
One fan commented: "I'm more interested in how Hojlund can't control a simple pass."
Ruben Amorim bursts out laughing when asked about Man Utd star's future
Another wrote: "Hojlunds first touch is that bad, his second touch is a tackle"
And a third put: "That's embarrassing. They should be taking this seriously, I can't believe he has just tried to pass to Hojlund there."
The incident could have ended up being an infamous end to Fernandes' Man Utd career as his agent reportedly held talks with Al Hilal this week.
The Saudi side are looking to secure a £100m deal ahead of their Club World Cup campaign.
And that could see Fernandes earn a tax-free £700,000-a-week, three-year deal worth £200m including bonuses.
If the match in Hong Kong does turn up to be Fernandes' last for Man Utd, then his blushes were at least spared by his team-mates.
Striker Chido Obi netted a second-half double before Ayden Heaven scored a late third to secure a 3-1 win.

LAFC book place in Chelsea's group at Club World Cup

Gabon international Denis Bouanga drilled home the winner five minutes from the end of extra time after the match, being played at LAFC's BMO Stadium, had finished 1-1. The one-off game was played after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld Fifa's decision to expel Mexican side Club Leon from the new extended 32-team tournament, which will be played in the United States from 15 June to 13 July. Fifa determined in March that Club Leon did not meet tournament regulations on multi-club ownership. They had qualified for the Club World Cup after beating LAFC in the 2023 Concacaf Champions League final, while Club America were the highest-ranked team behind Club Leon in confederation ranking who did not qualify for the America took the lead in the play-off through a 64th minute penalty by former LAFC player Brian Rodriguez after Mark Delgado had fouled Erick Igor Jesus headed home an 89th-minute equaliser, his first LAFC goal, to take the game into extra time. Former Chelsea and Arsenal forward Oliver Giroud provided the spark for LAFC after being introduced off the bench in the 74th 38-year-old, a World Cup winner with France, set up Bouanga's winner as the play-off looked to be heading for a penalty who also include former Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in their ranks, will face Chelsea in their opening Group D fixture in Atalanta on 16 June, before further matches against Brazilian side Flamengo and Esperance Sportive de Tunis.

Erik ten Hag ‘makes first transfer signing' for Bayer Leverkusen as he raids Premier League – but it's not from Man Utd

Ten Hag is set for a huge squad reshuffle next season ON YOUR MARKS Erik ten Hag 'makes first transfer signing' for Bayer Leverkusen as he raids Premier League – but it's not from Man Utd ERIK TEN HAG is on the verge of confirming his first signing at Bayer Leverkusen. The Bundesliga side have agreed a deal in principle to sign Brentford goalkeeper Mark Flekken. 2 Erik ten Hag is on the verge of signing Brentford keeper Mark Flekken 2 Leverkusen looked poised to sign Flekken in a transfer worth around £8.4million Ten Hag replaced Xabi Alonso as Leverkusen manager this week after the Spaniard joined Real Madrid earlier this month. Ten Hag was sacked by Manchester United last November, six months after lifting a shock FA Cup trophy against Manchester City.

Chelsea learn new Club World Cup opponent after team banned from competition

Chelsea and Manchester City will be among the 32 teams who will participate in the FIFA Club World Cup later this month and their first opponents have now been confirmed Chelsea will start their FIFA Club World Cup campaign against Los Angeles FC after the MLS outfit won a play-off game to take the place of the banned Club Leon. It emerged last month that Leon, the Blues' first opponents, would no longer be participating in the tournament due to the fact that their owners are also in charge of Pachuca, another of the team's featuring in the competition. ‌ With the Court of Arbitration for Sport then dismissing an appeal from Club Leon, it was confirmed that LAFC would face Club America in a one-off game to decide who would be given a golden ticket to the tournament, which officially gets underway on June 14. ‌ And after beating Club America 2-1 following extra-time, LAFC will now join Chelsea, Flamengo and Es Tunis in Group D. The MLS outfit will automatically bank $9.55 million for qualifying but could go on to rake in more from the total $1bn prize pot which is on offer between all 32 competing teams. For LAFC, their golden ticket to the United States was made only possible after the CAS upheld Fifa's original decision to exclude them earlier this month. ‌ The CAS confirmed the ruling in a statement, which read: 'As a result of the CAS ruling, FIFA is responsible for designating the final qualified team to participate in the Club World Cup 2025. The CAS Panel has issued an Operative Decision dismissing the three appeals and ruled that Pachuca and Club Leon failed to meet the criteria in the Regulations for the Fifa World Cup Club 2025 concerning multiple club ownership. 'The Panel examined the evidence, including the Club Leon trust set up by the owners of the club, and concluded that this trust was insufficient to comply with the Regulations. Consequently, Club Leon remains excluded from the competition and Pachuca remains qualified. ‌ 'A separate appeal by [Alajuelense] against Club Leon, Pachuca and Fifa, filed on 3 February 2025, requested that Club Leon and Pachuca's participation in the Club World Cup was contrary to Fifa regulations and that one of the clubs, or both, should be removed. 'The appeal also requested that [Alajuelense] should be admitted to the competition in place of a removed team. This case was heard by CAS in person in Madrid on 23 April 2025 and was also rejected today.' Enzo Maresca and Chelsea will head to the United States in buoyant mood after securing their spot in next season's Champions League and winning the Europa Conference League final.
