Dang Van Lam continues to be stuck in Thailand; AFC: 'Vietnam team will do everything to continue'

Dang Van Lam continues to be stuck in Thailand, no date set for Cerezo Osaka debut

Due to the complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, Dang Van Lam will likely not be able to fly to Japan until March 21 to join Cerezo Osaka.

After parting ways with Muangthong United, Dang Van Lam joined Cerezo Osaka with a contract that took up a lot of ink. The goalkeeper born in 1993 became the first Vietnamese player in history to play in J.League 1. Cerezo Osaka also registered Van Lam in the competition list of the season and gave him the number 1 shirt. In the new team's shirt, Van Lam received a lot of expectations.

AFC: "Vietnam team does everything to move on"

"Six points won in the remaining three matches of Group G, the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia will help the Vietnamese team get a ticket to continue," AFC wrote.

Coach Park Hang-seo has many important tasks in 2021.

According to the schedule, Vietnam will meet Indonesia on June 7, then Malaysia on June 11, before concluding the second qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup with a match against the UAE.

"The Vietnamese team is currently leading Group G with 11 points, and they will do everything to affirm their position, thereby winning a ticket to the third qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup, and at the same time having a place at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in China,"AFC writes.

While highly appreciating Vietnam, AFC also believes that the remaining matches of Group G will be exciting:"Indonesia has been eliminated, but there are still opportunities for Malaysia, Thailand and UAE - the teams chasing behind the Vietnamese team. The upcoming matches promise to be very attractive with tense nature."

Even though his salary has been doubled, Fernandes is still behind 6 others at MU.

Midfielder Bruno Fernandes is set to almost double his current £100,000-a-week salary, but he is still six points behind Manchester United's other players in terms of pay.

Since moving to Man United from Sporting Lisbon in the 2020 winter transfer window, Fernandes has been in excellent form and has become the best player for the red half of Manchester.

Fernandes is one of the lowest paid first-team players at Old Trafford, on just £100,000 a week. There are 13 United players who earn more than him.

To encourage the Portuguese player, MU's board of directors plans to double his salary to 180,000 pounds per week, along with additional bonuses such as appearances, goals scored and titles won.

Henderson can replace De Gea until the end of March

The opportunity is coming for Dean Henderson when he will probably stand in the goal of MU instead of David De Gea in all the remaining matches this March.

In MU's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace in the 2020/21 Premier League on the morning of March 4, Henderson started instead of De Gea.

If Henderson starts in the big match between Man City and MU, it will be the first time he has played in two consecutive Premier League matches for the Red Devils. Henderson has made 13 starts for MU this season, mostly in cup matches.

Since the beginning of the season, De Gea has kept 9 clean sheets for MU in the Premier League, while Henderson has only kept 1, which was against Crystal Palace.
