Man United news LIVE: Antony accuser ‘drops her complaint against the winger’ and Gary Neville blasts new signings inisisting they were ‘never going to help Red Devils challenge Man City’

Erik ten Hag’s side will look to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Brighton this weekend against Burnley on Saturday.

But they will take on the Clarets at the unusual time of 8pm at Turf Moor.

And there’s a reason the game starts so late at night…

Thomas Tuchel will not be in the dugout when Bayern Munich kick off their Champions League campaign against Manchester United on Wednesday evening.

The German side were held to a 2-2 draw by Bayer Leverkusen on Friday evening, with Harry Kane scoring the opener.

But Tuchel will NOT be on the sidelines of the Allianz Arena for their European opening match of the 2023/24 season. Mail Sport has all the details below…

So it is two wins and three defeats after the first five games of the season for Manchester United.

It’s been a disappointing start, especially considering the work they’ve done in the transfer window, bringing in Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund.

Their 3-1 defeat to Brighton, also at home, further exacerbated their struggles, but according to Mail Sport columnist Chris Sutton, the Red Devils are ‘not in such a big crisis – compared to when Jose Mourinho played the blame game. .’

Gary Neville has criticized Manchester United’s new signings, claiming he ‘didn’t think for a second’ they would be good enough to help the club challenge rivals Manchester City or Arsenal.

Erik ten Hag has brought in several new players with the signings of Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Andre Onana, spending almost £200 million on signings, but so far this season they have failed to make a major impact at the club.

United were beaten 3-1 by Brighton this weekend in a disappointing match that further cemented their uninspiring start to the season. The club dropped to thirteenth place after five games, winning two games and losing the other three.

Neville, meanwhile, has claimed United should have signed Harry Kane and Declan Rice instead.

Firstly, reports this morning suggest that one of three women accusing United winger Antony of violent behavior has dropped their case.

The 23-year-old is accused of attacking his ex-girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin four times and is being investigated by police in Sao Paulo and Manchester.

He has denied any wrongdoing and has not been arrested or charged.

But a third case involving a 2022 car incident has been withdrawn at the alleged victim’s request, a new report has found.
