“We made the statement, we look to the future.” It read: “Cristiano Ronaldo left the club by mutual agreement last month. As a result, the 37-year-old’s future at the club was untenable, leading to him leave under a dark cloud.

In the League Cup, Manchester United took their first bold steps into a Ronaldo-free future.

In the long run, we're guessing that Haaland before the World Cup and Haaland after the World Cup will look much the same, to the eye and in the data. [rise of women's football](https://globalsportmatters.com/culture/2022/12/21/beyond-qatar-world-cup-womens-football-growing-middle-east-north-africa/)in the Middle East and North Africa: "The success of the Morocco women’s team was no accident. PSG in the Women's Champions League. As Greece knew all too well: he'd scored more or less the same free-kick in Athens a few months before. It's not that he's tall enough to disrupt air traffic or strong enough to snap a lamppost in half. And while comparing awards across years is not exactly fair, given that some years have major tournaments and others do not, this award feels more like the one that Bobby Moore picked up in 1966 - the shining light of a shining team - as opposed to Michael Owen's 'nice goal' award in 1998, or the 'well done, you've been going ages' nod that Ryan Giggs picked up in 2009. At the very least, it means Ten Hag and his team aren't trying to do their work in an atmosphere of febrile hostility, and that's probably constructive. No, not the fixture congestion. And England cleaned up elsewhere, taking Team of the Year, while Sarina Wiegman was named Coach of the Year. Marcus Rashford seems the obvious choice, and here he scored perhaps the best goal of his career, a slithering run from deep in his own half that unzipped Burnley entirely, capped with a dismissive finish into the side netting. Not even in the conversation. Anyway, this now puts United in a slightly unusual position: a soap opera in search of a main character.

With the most compact FIFA World Cup ever to reach a climax in Qatar with the final to be played tonight, the baton will be passed to 2026 cohosts the US, Mexico and Canada for what promises to be a super-sized global soccer showcase with more games and travel — and much more beer. HERO’S WELCOME: Millions who flooded the streets of Buenos Aires were yesterday waiting for a chance to catch a glimpse of the trophy and the team ‘who did us proud’ Lionel Messi yesterday set off for Argentina after leading his team to World Cup glory on Sunday, scoring twice against France in one of the all-time great finals with the South Americans holding their nerve to triumph in a penalty shoot-out. The previous record was famously held by a stock image of an egg on a white background with 55.7 million likes, posted Lionel Messi on Tuesday set yet another record, after his Instagram post celebrating Argentina’s FIFA World Cup win became the most-liked on the platform, breaking a nearly four-year record held by a photograph of an egg. This was Rashford’s first match since England’s agonizing World Cup quarter-final loss to France, with the forward saying: “It was such a disappointing feeling to be knocked out and you have to pick yourselves up. “There is still room for improvement, but I am pleased with the win,” United manager Erik ten Hag said.

He will go on and play football elsewhere and hopefully do really well, and Manchester United can move on under Erik ten Hag." Ten Hag was asked about Ronaldo's exit in his post-match press conference following the victory and said: "I gave you all the opportunity, many of you were in Spain. "The only thing Manchester United could do was draw a line under the Ronaldo affair," Neville told Sky Sports.

Marcus Rashford ran half the length of the pitch to make sure of victory as Manchester United beat Burnley 2-0 to reach the last eight of the Carabao Cup.

United, perhaps deeming it wiser to operate at the other end, soon had Martial twisting and shooting, the No 9 drawing an acrobatic stop from Peacock-Farrell. The same player did better with an arrowed effort that had the Slovakian flying left to save and when, seconds later, Benson crossed, the keeper missed a regulation punch, the ball ricocheted off Rashford and, as it veered towards goal, Casemiro scrambled clear. Ten Hag said: “The players are hungry after the World Cup break and it was great to see this team goal.” The centre-back kept backpedalling and Rashford kept coming until slick footwork bedazzled the Burnley man and in a flash, Bailey Peacock-Farrell was beaten by a laser of a finish, on the angle, from inside the area. United had a swagger and were in firm ball-hogging mode, sapping the energy of those in blue as they had to keep chasing them. When Bruno Fernandes slipped in Alejandro Garnacho the youngster failed to beat an advancing Peacock-Farrell but United were coming to life.

It was perhaps an easier game than expected given Vincent Kompany’s team had been in scintillating form, but Casemiro stood out once again in a position that is not his own with his immense leadership qualities and ability. It took a fee of £65 million to prize him away, but it has been money well spent. The ex-Real Madrid man clearly wants to be at the club and help take Manchester United forward, which is reflected in his performances on a weekly basis.

With Harry Maguire not guaranteed a starting spot for Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes has risen to the fore as a leader of the team.

If you don’t train at you best level, you will never get the best of you in games. [Raphinha](https://theathletic.com/football/player/raphinha-a5efFceOARuL0px2/), who is now at [Barcelona](https://theathletic.com/football/team/fc-barcelona/), would be one. You have to be yourself and you have to lead by example. I also want them to feel part of the family at Manchester United. “I came to Manchester to win trophies,” Fernandes said a year into his United career. You have to be at your best in every training session and every game. I just try to help make the things better for the team. He captained the side against [Burnley](https://theathletic.com/football/team/burnley/). No, I try to be myself. His three goals and three assists for United so far this season aren’t as impressive as when he first arrived at the club in early 2020 and transformed a struggling side. Fernandes, 28, is one player considered to be a leader — helped by the fact he can speak four languages fluently which allows him to communicate effectively with many different players at the club. Within months the Norwegian was saying he saw traits similar to Paul Scholes and Juan Sebastian Veron in Fernandes.

It has been made clear that when Martial is in the team, players around him look better for it. The Red Devils will do their utmost in agreeing a fee with PSV to bring Gakpo into the fold, but there is nothing certain about his arrival in the January market. It is a huge task but, more so, a huge opportunity for Martial to finally fulfil his potential and become the player the fans know he can be.

Rashford was diminished in his presence but noted that, on his surge to score: “There is space in front of you and you’re almost waiting for the right time to get a pass off but the gap opened.” Instead, Anthony Martial, Ten Hag’s chosen striker, made a decoy run from in to out, from the middle to the right flank. “I thought it was a great goal and the timing of the movements was fantastic,” said Marcus Rashford. The interchanging of positions, so a right-back could appear on the right wing to cross and one of the deeper-lying midfielders in the six-yard box to finish, spoke to the power of a collective. It was far from the only factor in the worst season of his career but Rashford’s renaissance accelerated as Ronaldo left.
