This move took place after the 1-2 loss to Quang Nam in the 16th round of the V.League at the home ground of Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club. It is known that the 5 names mentioned above violated the club's discipline and will likely no longer be able to compete in the V.League this season. Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club has not shared any further information due to the sensitive nature of the incident.

Losing the above 5 names, the strength of Hong Linh Ha Tinh Club will decline greatly.

MU is recommended to fire coach Erik Ten Hag immediately

Former striker Michael Owen believes the Red Devils need to immediately sack coach Erik Ten Hag after a poor performance at Crystal Palace.

MU just lost 0-4 to Crystal Palace in a weak and uncommitted match. On the sidelines, Erik ten Hag was also helpless in directing tactics.

Watching their old team play, both Michael Owen and Paul Scholes saw that the MU leadership needed to act decisively and end the Ten Hag dynasty soon.

MU lost miserably to Crystal Palace.

Owen said harshly: "I have long said that Ten Hag is not the right person for this job. Simply because he cannot manage the MU dressing room. Now is the right time for the MU bosses to make a decision. MU will be overwhelmed by Man City at Wembley. They will be destroyed by their city rivals. I am worried with so many things at stake. Even though there are only 4 matches left, I wonder if the team's board of directors will try to do something radical right now. Ten Hag cannot continue to lead MU next season, because he is not good enough...".

Former midfielder Paul Scholes agreed: "Today's defeat is like the final nail in the coffin. I really think so. The whole team lacked determination and fighting spirit. It's a big disappointment when they are wearing the Man Utd shirt. Against Crystal Palace, in any circumstances, they cannot lose 0-4 like that. It's like the end of the Ten Hag dynasty at Old Trafford."

Center back Do Duy Manh extends contract with Hanoi Club

On the morning of May 7, on the website and fanpage of Hanoi Club, information was shared that central defender Do Duy Manh will continue to be associated with the team with a contract until 2027. The salary of the player born in 1996 can be up to 10 billion VND when the contract expires.

Sharing about the decision to extend his contract with Hanoi Club, central defender Do Duy Manh said: "Manh has achieved many achievements in recent months at Hanoi Club. But for Manh, that is never enough.

Hopefully in the next three years, Duy Manh and the entire team will work together towards even better achievements in the future and especially will have many more titles, so that later when the career ends and we look back at the years when we devoted all the best things to football, we can be proud of ourselves.

There have been a number of teams that have expressed their desire to negotiate a contract with me in the past. I also thought about challenging myself in a new environment. But after all, I still prioritize negotiating with Hanoi Club. This is where I was born, grew up, played football and became a professional player.

I always prioritize and put the team first. I want to tell all the fans of Hanoi Club that I will not go anywhere. I will stay here and continue to conquer glory with the team"./.
