MU fans find the worst signing in the club's history
In MU's draw with Huddersfield, striker Alexis Sanchez also played but played quite poorly. He also could not complete the match when he had to leave the field early due to an ankle injury.
This was also the match that saw MU officially fail to make it into the top 4 this season, meaning the Old Trafford team will not be able to participate in the Champions League next season. This poor performance made fans angry.

Sportbible held a poll to find out who was the worst signing in MU history with the candidates including Bebe, Kleberson and Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean striker came in first, even better than the dud named Bebe.
On social media, many fans criticized Sanchez after the team failed to make it into the top 4. One fan commented: "Alexis Sanchez is the worst signing in the club's history. At all costs, the club must get rid of him as soon as possible."
Another fan agreed: "His contribution to MU is so little that people don't even know there is a player named Sanchez anymore. Maybe he is the worst signing in Premier League history, not just MU."

Sanchez is likely to leave in the summer. After the draw against Huddersfield, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also hinted that Sanchez will no longer play for MU.
Vietnam U22 players are no longer in danger of death
Nguyen Hung Thien Duc's strong collision in the air with Pape Omar left the Binh Duong player stunned and unconscious. Referee Ngo Duy Lan promptly gave him first aid to prevent him from unconsciously biting his tongue and he was transferred to Hospital 115 for monitoring.

The U22 Vietnam player was conscious and waiting for the doctors to continue monitoring. Accompanying Thien Duc was Dr. Nguyen Quang Thien of Binh Duong Club. Dr. Thien has worked for the club for 8 years and this is the first time he has witnessed a case of unconsciousness on the field.
Regarding Thien Duc's health, this person said: "Duc has a sunken right temporal bone. The CT scan has not detected a brain hemorrhage, but it must be monitored for timely emergency treatment. This injury no longer affects the player's life."
Nguyen Hung Thien Duc is a member of the Vietnam U22 team that participated in the Southeast Asian U22 Championship in February 2019 in Cambodia. He is a player from the 1997 and 1999 generations trained by Binh Duong.Thailand may be stripped of hosting rights for the 2020 AFC U23 Championship
Thailand may lose the right to host the 2020 AFC U23 Championship finals if it does not quickly complete the stadiums for the tournament taking place in January 2020.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) sent a delegation to Thailand to inspect the progress of preparations for the 2020 AFC U23 Championship finals from April 30. After surveying the four stadiums hosting the tournament, including Rajamangala (Bangkok), Tinsulanonda (Songkhla), 700th Anniversary (Chiang Mai) and Thammasat (Pathum Thani), the AFC delegation was extremely disappointed.
“If no stadium in Thailand is willing to take on the responsibility, we have the right to strip Thailand of its hosting status and give it to another country that is willing to host,” said Jin Ho Yoon, head of the delegation. “This tournament is a first-class continental event with 16 teams from all over Asia participating. This is also where we will find the Asian representative spots for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Therefore, the stadiums will have to meet the highest standards,” Jin stressed.

Cong Phuong did not appear on the registration list of Incheon Utd for the second time, once again making people wonder: Should he return to V-League or not?
It seemed that assistant Lim Joong Yong taking over at Incheon Utd would open up better opportunities for Cong Phuong after the first few months he seemed to be forgotten by coach Jorn Andersen.

Although the Vietnamese team lacks strikers, it will be difficult for Mr. Park to call up a player who is showing poor performance like Cong Phuong. |
However, things did not go as planned when, after only being used for the first time in the match against Cheongju FC in the 4th round of the FA Cup nearly a month ago, Cong Phuong was gradually removed from the Korean team's squad.
Because before that, in round 9, Cong Phuong was also absent from the main squad and reserve team in the match between Incheon and Seongnam at the end of April, almost as a warning from the Korean team to the striker from Vietnam.
Things became even more difficult when coach Lim Joong Yong frankly said that Cong Phuong could not return to the Incheon Utd squad due to his negligence in training and lack of fighting spirit.
Recent developments in Incheon show that Cong Phuong needs to change drastically if he doesn't want to be out of this team's plans.
