highlighted the fact that manchester united have a special philosophy. very gather is that something kewl looking to bring into the squad yeah i mean you could be the most talented team in the world you know if you haven't got the team spirit and you won't win anything and i was lucky enough to be part of so many great teams great players but one thing that we hard we had a good team spirit i'm lucky that i've inherited a great bunch of bunch allots you know i seen that first hand on the china tour not only makes the friends which which helps you know i would never rest on my laurels when i was a player and i don't want my players to do this you want them to achieve better things maybe unfortunately you don't get is that it's an extra motivation to get the team to a world cup and you say looking ahead to the year yeah you know i think i think when i was involved our newly qualified for the will cope in ninety four and then also the euro. in the early millennium and after both campaigns we were nowhere near the next year or the next campaign so far ok we

you know maybe and maybe i'm you know very well talking of iconic figures in manchester united the size. of the sad news but you know when sad news like this happens all the one important and you know. i mean what impact do you have one on your career and your life yeah i mean obviously he was the biggest influence on my career you know i met him when i was. still playing for him when i was thirty nine so yeah. an influence on and off the pitch and someone who knew how to get the best of me. he was obviously brilliant for me for my career gave me a chance in the first team. and. you know was able to get the. thirty nine forty so an amazing manageable not only don amazing person now you've gone into management but you think you might take from salix focus and i think it's only natural you know working so closely with him and you know being in my opinion the greatest manager i think is my management was. was the one thing that i would take care of because he handled everyone differently he knew that everyone was a little bit different he knew what made people you know someone nee

this manchester united savior, heartbrea ker. this could manchester united savior, heartbreaker.essi's last stand, but someone else had his back. a quick update from that match in saint petersburg, we sought diego moreira donna in 1986 world cup winner kicking every ball and living every emotion in the stands there. reports that he had taken ill soon after the final whistle and needed medical attention we will of course have an update on that when we get it. let's give the details of the match in group d. iceland still had a chance of getting into last 16 above argentina. we know that is not the case and they did not beat croatia anyway. less familiar for croatian face is already safe and made nine changes while iceland had everything to play for. they give determined exactly what was excited them. living up to their ‘plucky underdogs' tag. and demonstrating plenty of bite. cardiff city's aron gunnarson with the best of their first half chances. only a win would do for iceland who'd had more of the game but croatia were that bit sharper when it counted — they'd just hit the bar e

raheem sterling for manchester city or marcus rashford for manchester united ? r city or marcus rashford for manchester united? that is not a debate. sterling has had an outstanding season and i don't think southgate will rip up the plan he has got in his head based on one performance. there is obviously a training game on monday. he will play 11 versus 11. i guess if rashford was noticeably superior to sterling in that game then he might be giving the england manager more to think about. i think sterling gets the nod onjune 18. to think about. i think sterling gets the nod on june 18. those are the personnel decisions. the atmosphere of the squad has been talked about as well, particularly since they have been together at st george's park. we're going to show you submit to stop jesse george's park. we're going to show you submit to stopjesse lingard after the game last night. he picked out a sign in the crowd which said please, jesse lingard, give me the shirt. he gave a small boy a shirt. it was the nephew of the person who had the sign up. he posted it on twit

and at manchester united could you couldn't do it but this is probably the best goal of the two of them and so far so what we've seen in this half is to best run so for me the best individual skilled the whole tournament not run by and by the power. but ended up winning friends a penalty and then this goal from thirty five forty meters nothing the goalkeeper could do and he came seriously out of absolutely nothing in team that did not have a sniff in this he must have been in this position at some point where your team has been the better the game given from you feeling confident the other team scores an absolute the wind out of you going into the house on break i mean this is basis with a manager has to be coming out of the obviously we have to calm his players down i think for for this job it's easy to just say listen guys we've got messi on the control we have to stop them from shooting like like the marriott don't don't give them that chance to block every shot get in close stay with us to the way you are if we do that it's not going to be the biggest problem and then that ball over

now i think it would be a disaster even lost today finally i know you've got a number of pace manchester united playing in this world cup how does that help develop a player helps helps because. first of all there's about tactical culture i think every experience that you can have there too heavy to your natural and your normal day by day helps to develop and sold to play against african teams it's good to play you against south american teams is fantastic so i think these multi cultural football vironment these fantastic for the experience of the players a part of that by the mental the emotional point of view.

one other bit of news from brazil involves manchester united, because the midfielder fred has signedy described him as the future of brazilian footballer, so the future of brazilian footballer, so very exciting for manchester united fans. no pressure on his shoulders then! that's a head of the brazil costa rica match. coming up, we'll look ahead to argentina against croatia, kicking off in 20 minutes. now over to sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. let's begin then at the cricket. england are taking on australia in the ath one—day international at chester—le—street, where the tourists have set england a target of 311 for victory. a century from opener aaron finch got australia off to a good start. shaun marsh also made his way to three figures, reaching that milestone with this six, but he was out soon after, thanks to some brilliant team work from the england fielders — jason roy and craig 0verton combining on the boundary to dismiss marsh for 101. in reply, england have made an excellent start. they are 112 without loss. british number one kyle edmund has been knocked out in

got a picture said to be a couple of months ago my grandson in one of those shirts and it's a manchester united should from my first year the only year when manchester night it was still playing with i didn't and they change too. and they play with that is now he's got this vintage should if you would like i did fits him i actually thought when i got the picture that was cast but that's mike. thank you for sharing . st petersburg will play host to one of the world cup favorites brazil who play costa rica on friday at three pm local time the brazilian team has recently arrived in st petersburg they will mess at the entrance of the hotel by crowds of cheering fans many of whom were russians celebrating the friendships of the two countries on the teams the game between purcell and costa rica will be a chance for the five time world champions to put one foot in the knockout rounds and that world cup host turns aiming it has been predicting who will take the spoils. brazil in costa rica costa rica's not just the team that did well in the past world cup is also a team that is very stable and just wat

fight for the top spot i will be at that game i'm lucky to be that the one locked up on that and manchester united boss jerry's a reunion told us whom he thinks will come out on top. can be a big match. can be a match just because both go to the next round depends on what happened before but if he sees a match where a result is needed i can imagine a competitive match the home team has also behind a huge a huge supporter. of their own country but you know why they have the know how to compete how to be clever how to to try to influence the game weeds the emotional side of you so. can be a big match. left up to say it was a marine who has been right on the money on many many locations and his predictions and i agree with me is going to be a huge huge match i think the best way to have a look at this one is so we can have a look at the tables as well because of the ramifications say looking at what the impacts and what he was going to have a great price i mean you've got as i said looking that you require russia this is the match that you'll be going to as well yes so looking the table that six poin

it and story so i think carlos cares who knows cristiana rinaldo really well he's had him in manchester united he's had him i think of real madrid he has had him also with portugal he knows him very very well he will try to keep him quiet and what we learn from the run today is that when you put the tactics on the board this is how we're going to play boys they can do it they were throwing bodies on on the line literally some incredible last minute lunge to to deny called no faulting iran's commitment they have to win now against portugal that would put around three imports go out do you give them a chance of based on the the two different rounds that we've seen you see the table has said there a point to how they have to win have you seen the defensive on the more attacking iran can they do if i'm caught his career is no pay off that disappointed we lost this game i would be very pleased with my part of my players performance and i would think if i had this situation to choose a situation two games ago i would definitely pick it i think they're in a great position they played well enough more

and today the manchester united striker told me just how much the result meant.able and i think when you score, there's nothing that really matches scoring a late winner. i think the fans all can sense that and we definitely sense that on the pitch. england were back training today, knowing that a win against panama in their next match on sunday should be enough to secure a place in the knockout stage of the tournament. this youthful, developing squad came to russia as something of an unknown quantity, but having proved they have what it takes to succeed at this level, last night's victory felt like an important first step in england's recovery after so many failures at recent major tournaments. if you don't win that match, there is huge pressure on the second game. so even though there is always going to be pressure in a world cup, it just gives the team a little bit more breathing space in order to go out and be a bit more relaxed and express themselves. england may have had their smallest travelling support for years in volgograd but back home their victory wa

the other hand some of the belgium players they were doing exactly that one of them a former manchester united player. and he scored the only goal in the game and what a crock of that was he was left and he would ride them and left again and he coded up into the top corner and i think that we can see that go now that was that was something special to wait for in that game there were few and far between because most of quality. you thinking maybe somebody would take that chance to impress the manager i mean to be fat again as i did that that's exactly what i thought some of these guys would do. hey they don't get much playing time a lot of the players that were in there we saw it and he well they come up come in at the very last ten minutes and think. he hasn't featured at all to any well big as a class player plays for around austin but he hasn't he hasn't played at all and here we we see the result and then losing one it's about him and what they started and gives. in the sort of the way ahead is it gives a little bit more believe in the belgium team because we know when they play their best

kept them all and funny enough those kicks on the back of most of them and then obviously the manchester united goalkeeper showed as well but i got a picture said to me this is a couple of months ago my grandson in one of those shirts and it's a manchester united shirt for my first year but only here when i meant tonight it was still playing with the this and they changed to. and they play with that he does now he's got this vintage should if you would like i did fits him i actually saw it when i got the picture that was cast but that's magnificent thank you for sharing let's get right up to date with group c. class for say france and perri second game of the day and the score was wall nil to france at half time. i. don't but i'm very grateful to everyone who has come here to support us it's incredible they've made it all the way from peru to russia unfortunately we didn't achieve the results we wanted despite the fact that the team played well and had good chances during the game just you know use you know we had to play with the intensity and aggression in order to get there is all we wanted
