The Red Devils players chose to have a leisurely breakfast at the Juniper Café in Hale Village, Cheshire, after a relatively disappointing 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. Their comrade Anthony Elanga, who was at the café with two pals, surprised them by showing there.
Elanga snapped a picture of the two football stars with one of his buddies while they were laughing heartily and another friend joined in on the fun. De Gea and Fernandes wore black coats and sweaters appropriate for the frigid conditions. Elanga, however, was wearing a bright green sweatshirt with a chic white pattern running down the arms.
One of the most impressive saves of the season was performed by David De Gea in the first half of the game at Selhurst Park. This made it possible for Cristiano Eriksen to set up Fernandes, who scored the game’s first goal quickly after. But shortly before the end of play, Michael Olise’s incredible free kick struck the post, resulting in a draw.
Compared to his peers, Elanga has had fewer opportunities this season. The 20-year-old played in the Carabao Cup against Charlton most recently. He is anticipated to start the game against Arsenal on Sunday as a substitute. Casemiro, the standout player for United, was given a yellow card at Selhurst Park, thus he will not be available for the match.
The French national team defeated Brighton in a thrilling penalty shootout at Wembley, and they will now compete in the FA Cup final in June. Ever since Roberto De Zerbi started Mitoma in the starting lineup, the player has had an incredible season at Brighton. In 31 appearances, he has tallied 10 goals and seven assists.
Mitoma had trouble facing Wan-Bissaka on Sunday night, even if he had several battles against the best full-backs in the Premier League. The former Crystal Palace youngster made many important tackles on Mitoma during the match. In one-on-one scenarios, Rio Ferdinand declared that Wan-Bissaka “is as good as anyone,” praising his play.
Wan-Bissaka was hurt and sick at the start of the season, which put him out of coach Ten Hag’s favor. As the right-back, Diogo Dalot took over, but he lost his form during the World Cup. Since then, the Londoner has been a frequent starter. Dalot switched to the left-back position on Sunday.
Wan-Bissaka has the option to extend his contract for an additional year, but his current deal expires in the summer of 2024. The right-back wants to extend his contract by one more year. “My plan has always been to stay, but when I was out of the team, my goal was just to play,” Wan-Bissaka stated to the Daily Telegraph. Everyone enjoys playing, and it brings me joy.
“I would have done anything at the time to get back into the game.”
“Since I began working here, I have been content. I am happy here. That is my goal, and I will continue to work toward it.
