Why Are Man UTD Wearing Black Armbands : United To Appeal Wan-Bissaka Suspension
There is a minute’s silence today for Roger Hunt.
Hunt, the Liverpool FC club’s second-highest goalscorer of all time with 285 goals in 492 appearances, passed away peacefully at home following a long illness on Monday evening. He was 83.
A World Cup winner with England in 1966, Hunt joined the Reds from nearby amateur team Stockton Heath as a 20-year-old in July 1958 and spent 11-and-a-half hugely successful years at Anfield
Roger Hunt, a former England footballer who played in all six of England’s World Cup final games and scored three goals, died at the age of 83. A Liverpool legend, he won two First Division titles and an FA Cup during his time at Anfield in the early 1960s, and he went on to become the club’s all-time leading scorer in league and cup competitions, with only Ian Rush surpassing him.
Until Ian Rush broke his record in 1992, his Reds goal total of 285 stood as the club record. Hunt, with 244 league goals for Liverpool, is the all-time leading scorer.
As it turned out, Hunt made his Liverpool debut in September 1959, a 2-0 win over Scunthorpe United at Anfield.
To win titles in the First Division in 1964 and 1966, and the long-awaited FA Cup in 1965, Hunt formed an unstoppable strike partnership with Ian St John, who took over as manager under Bill Shankly after his arrival at the club just months later.
As a result of Hunt’s accomplishments, the Kop knighted him and dubbed him “Sir Roger” among the club’s supporters as a result.
The 1966 World Cup final, in which England defeated West Germany at Wembley, cemented his legacy as a legend. During that tournament, he had three goals in six appearances, giving him a total of 18 in 34 caps for his country.
Everyone at Liverpool FC is sending their condolences to Roger’s loved ones during this difficult time.
RIP Roger Hunt 1938 – 2021
In response to United’s Champions League ban, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says his team will appeal.
Before Wednesday’s match against Villarreal in Group F, UEFA handed the full-back a longer two-game suspension.
In our first match of the season’s tournament, his tackle on Young Boys’ Christopher Martins Pereira was deemed “rough play,” resulting in a doubled one-match suspension for the red card in Switzerland.
In charge of the United States is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
As a result, Wan-Bissaka was unable to play in our 2-1 Old Trafford victory over Villarreal last week, and he will be unavailable for our upcoming home match against Atalanta later in the month.
When asked about Wan-status Bissaka’s ahead of this weekend’s Premier League match against Everton, Solskjaer said that Manchester United will appeal the decision to send Wan-Bissaka on international duty.
It’s no secret that the manager was taken aback by the decision, and he believes our no.29 has been punished unfairly.
He told MUTV’s Stewart Gardner, “[I am] shocked.”
Yeah, we’ll file an appeal because he’ll get a two-game suspension at the very least.
“That’s two-thirds of the game he was sent off in [at Old Trafford against Villarreal] and an extra one.
There is no reason for him to be suspended for two or nearly three games based on other Champions League tackles.
In terms of a timeframe, it is unclear when Solskjaer and co. will know whether or not they won their appeal, but it is likely to be before our meeting with the Bergamo side on October 20.
