After Manchester United lost at home to Burnley on Wednesday - in an Old Trafford atmosphere described as "toxic" by their former midfielder Darren Fletcher - we asked for your questions about the club. We had hundreds of responses. Here, I answer a selection of them. Re-cap: Live - Friday's transfer news & Simon Stone Q&A on Manchester UnitedThe manager Since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was made permanent manager in March, United have lost more Premier League games (12) than they have won (11)Richard: Do you think that once Champions League qualification becomes impossible, the writing will really be on the wall for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?It is true David Moyes and Louis van Gaal were sacked as soon as it was practical after a failure to finish in the top four.
Utrecht and Den Haag will face each other in the upcoming match in the Eredivisie. Utrecht this season have the following results: 9W, 3D and 7L. Meanwhile Den Haag have 4W, 4D and 11L.

Leicester are unbeaten in six away matches, winning five. Leicester City are unbeaten in 11 matches. Leicester City have conceded in four of their last five matches. Manchester City have one clean sheet in 12 matches. Manchester City have scored three or more in four of their last five matches. The biggest match in the Premier League this weekend will be staged at the Etihad Stadium, when Manchester City welcomes Leicester City on Saturday.
There haven’t been any major changes with the side, they are still conceding goal having yet to keep a clean sheet this season but have scored 11 times, averaging two goals a game over their last three matches.
Liverpool's Under-23s boss Neil Critchley has defended the club's decision to play their youngest-ever side in the 5-0 defeat by Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The average age of the team was 19 years and 182 days, with Liverpool's senior side at the Club World Cup. Critchley, who took charge of the team, said: "Try telling those players it was a bad evening for them. My overwhelming feeling was one of immense pride.
The French Under-20 international joined Barcelona back in January this year, but has failed to break in to the first team, making just five senior appearances. Todibo has caught the eye of multiple European clubs, including Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Everton - as well as United. However, the Red Devils are reluctant to meet the 19-year-old's price tag, which is thought to be around £17 million.
Aguero wasn’t even in the starting XI for City’s trip to Bramall Lane on Tuesday, but after watching his team labour against the Blades and miss a penalty (that should have been retaken due to United keeper Dean Henderson being about four yards off his line when the kick was struck), and generally not find a way to break through.
Just two points separate the pair heading into matchday 15 and both suffered disappointing defeats last weekend. But it's Valencia who look best placed to emerge victorious based on their home record this term and the recent head-to-head between the teams.
Wales already have friendlies scheduled in March against Austria at Swansea's Liberty Stadium on Friday, 27 March and United States at Cardiff City Stadium on Monday, 30 March. Wales have played the Netherlands seven times, losing on every occasion including a 7-1 defeat in a World Cup qualifier in Eindhoven in 1996. The sides last met in November 2015 as Wales prepared for Euro 2016, their first appearance at a major finals in 58 years.
Man United cannot rely on Europa League success - Solskjaer United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the French international, who has scored in his last three games including last week's 1-1 draw in Brugge, felt a muscle injury in the final training session before the return at Old Trafford. He didn't feel right during the training yesterday, or he walked off during the training, and he is injured so hopefully it won't be too bad,” Solskjaer told the club's official television channel before kick off against Brugge on Thursday.
Fortuna Dusseldorf went the same way on penalties in the quarter-finals after a dramatic finale. Saarbrucken had looked set for a 1-0 victory before Mathias Jorgensen's injury-time equaliser - set up by goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier after he came up for a corner - took the game to extra time. Saarbrucken were twice one spot-kick away from being eliminated but Batz became the first keeper to save four penalties in a German Cup shootout since Opta started recording those statistics.
Each of The Foxes’ last three league games has ended 2-0, and they have averaged 2.33 goals per game on home soil this term. Everton, meanwhile, have conceded an average of 1.67 goals per away game, so we think a fourth consecutive 2-0 win for Leicester could be on the cards.
MANCHESTER, England, April 5 (Reuters) - FIFA is getting ready to deal with complaints and appeals over wage cuts for players, producing guidelines for clubs and football bodies looking to cut costs during the stoppage caused by the coronavirus pandemic, an internal document seen by Reuters showed. The issue of pay cuts for players has exploded as a major controversy in England while in other countries, such as Germany and Spain, players have accepted temporary reductions in earnings.
Christmas can be a pretty miserable time for some and, unfortunately for fans of Crawley Town, we think that the misery is set to continue on to Boxing Day for their fans. The hosts have claimed just four points from their last eight outings and have the poor combination of being unable to score while open at the back. When you factor in that they are facing one of the most in form sides in the division, then it is hard to consider anything other than an away win.
This is going to be one of those matches where anything can happen and where one goal can make a difference but for me the odds are too good to be missed for the hosts. Both teams are between the best at the league and are going to fight for that 1st place alongside with HB Torshavn.Runavik are in better shape currently but B36 are very good as a hosts. Also B36 won their last match very easy with 3-0.I don't expect to be that easy but for sure I expect them to take the win here without any doubt ..Gl
Wisla has 6 points more than Arka right now which is 2nd from bottom before going into the relegation group both of them. And they are both really modest at defending with 47 goals conceded by each of them while after the restart Arka lost with 4-3 away at Lechia Gdansk while last round they got smashed with 5-1 away from home at Legia but at home did win 2-1 against Slask Wroclaw. This while Wisla lost with 4-0 away at Piast Gliwice as I said above none are really that solid in defense.

Whilst we wouldn't fully deter punters from backing Osasuna in the double chance market at around 7/4, it makes more sense to back a stalemate for smaller stakes considering Atleti are rarely beaten at Wanda Metropolitano and Osasuna have won just two of their eight away games this season.
Leicester will not sell any of their players during the forthcoming transfer window, manager Brendan Rodgers said on Thursday. It follows speculation regarding in-form midfielder James Maddison, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United. There'll be no-one leaving in January - categorically," Rodgers said. I'm sure if we speak [to the club's board], they will have the same message. Maddison, 23, has scored five times and provided three assists in the league this season to help the Foxes reach second spot after 16 games - six points clear of champions Manchester City, who sit in third.
Everton have been in the market for a striker for some time, it was a priority under previous manager Marco Silva, with Cenk Tosun surplus to requirements and the burden falling on Dominic Calvert-Lewin. It will also be hoped that if Ibrahimovic joins Everton he can help Moise Kean who has struggled since his £25 million move from Juventus last summer.
A deal to show FA Cup matches via seven betting sites is being investigated by the Gambling Commission, the industry regulator.

Our investigations into that matter are ongoing," Gambling Commission chief executive Neil McArthur told 5 Live.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1Al's prediction: I think Norwich will come out fighting but I would back Saints to win it. Tottenham v Man Utd (20:15 BST)It is going to be interesting to see how Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer puts his team together now he has players back fit. Earlier in the season, he was having to mix and match in midfield but now he has Paul Pogba back to play alongside Bruno Fernandes and they are both players of real quality.
BATE Borisov are an improving side and reached the Belarus Cup semi-final in midweek. They are yet to concede a home league goal this season and should have far too much for their visitors. Neman Grodno won last weekend to climb up to tenth but both their league wins this season have come on home soil. They are yet to score an away goal and the tip here is for a home victory.
We needed to give him time to bring him in calmly at international level. But for an under-17 player, Odsonne had impressive emotional control, especially in front of goal. Here, Giuntini, who has spent the past decade in charge of the French national youth sides, tells BBC Scotland about his role in the making of the Celtic striker. Bringing out his hidden qualities'Euros success was the crowning achievement of the four years - from under-16s through to U19s - that the pair worked together.
Has anyone, in the history of mankind, been more committed to this one piece in the sartorial repertoire than you?Well, you won't be allowed to wear them when we go back to the office, so you may as well enjoy yourself now. Those food stains are beginning to increase in size and volume, though. While you're here, you may want to know Hungarian goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly actually played for over 20 years in grey trackie bottoms.
Dnipro currently on the coveted Europa League place, with Mariupol four points behind them. But Mariupol won only one of the last five games. Dnipro, on the other hand, won four of the last five games. The hosts messed up the cup semi-final against Poltava on Tuesday and are undefeated in 3 league games and sit eighth place. Dnipro is one place better with 4 points more on the account, after the winning streak of 4 games the team had to accept a defeat, I expect a close game and a draw at the end. Because A draw would be a happy result for the visitors.
Fernandes: There was a moment when Bruno Fernandes required treatment against Sheffield United and there was a sudden sense of panic in the Manchester United ranks. The Portugal midfielder has, in a matter of months, become a key component to United's fortunes and he must remain fit in order for the club to retain any chance of a Champions League spot. Also key is his relationship on the park with Paul Pogba.

The Premier League, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 both began allowing moves on Saturday and all the window in all countries will stay open until Friday January 31. The top 10 January transfer targets - and where they could go Paul Pogba heads the list of potential big-names who could be on the move with Real Madrid and Juventus heavily linked with the midfielder whose agent has again spoken about his unhappiness with the hierarchy at Old Trafford.
If the current resolution is passed, of course, Hearts would most likely be relegated, therefore it is understandable the Tynecastle club are heavily pushing a pyramid shake up to save their bacon. It's not that easy, though. Is rewarding teams for success with promotions and titles but not punishing the worst performers fair? Who knows, but the financial implications that come with it are even more problematic than any issue of sporting merit.
The Premier League alone generates well in excess of £3bn in tax revenue - a reason why it is in the government's interests for the game to restart. If, for instance, the 2019-20 season finished in December, what happens to the 2020-21 campaign? How does that fit into the rest of Europe?In truth, while the Premier League does have autonomy in the decisions it makes, there has to be some collaboration with Uefa as the European and domestic calendars are so interlinked - and will continue to be so long after 2021.
Spurs enter Coutinho race Paper Round’s views: It is clear that Coutinho needs to leave Barcelona, and a move to the Premier League would offer him the chance to rejuvenate his career. He should be careful in choosing his next club, however, and if reports are correct, he will have no shortage of options and Spurs, with their current instability and state of flux, may not be his best bet.

She said she has felt like a "ghost" and a "zombie" at times during her illness. Some of the girls would come round for dinner and I would sit with my back to people just doing a puzzle," she added. Kirby says she still has "some symptoms here and there but it's better". I've managed to do a few sessions of training. But then I've also done something and had a setback. Everything I do has to be symptom-free," said Kirby.
I really cannot explain why odds are so high on the over line under the conditions that Oviedo played 11 times on the road this season, 10 times there were over 2.5 goals sometimes even 4 goals scored and all those 10 games had both teams scoring most of them with Oviedo losing them as they are quite bad in defense even losing this week in the cup away at Badalona from the lower leagues with 3-1 on the road.
It is arguably the biggest story in English football this season. Manchester City have been kicked out of the Champions League until 2022. City are furious, claim they have effectively been found guilty by a kangaroo court and are promising the fight is not over by any stretch of the imagination. But for now, they are out, which raises a number of serious questions for the club.

That meant our centre-backs could stay narrow and there were no gaps between them, which was important because we knew Carlos Tevez would try to feed on little balls between them from David Silva. Up the pitch, Shaun Maloney had a huge role in making the system work. He was dropping back in defensive situations to block the middle of the pitch but he also gave us an attacking outlet. He made a massive effort physically and also provided some quality going forward.
Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema says he is a "Formula 1 car" while former France team-mate Olivier Giroud is just a "go-kart. Benzema, 32, has not played for France since 2015 while Giroud started the most recent European qualifying win over Albania in November. Chelsea's Giroud also played in all of France's World Cup matches in 2018, helping them to be crowned champions. Benzema said: "You can't confuse an F1 car with a go-kart and I'm being kind.
And it was back to reality the morning after his heroics against United, as he sat a psychology test at Trinity Sixth Form in Manchester.
