Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is refusing to single out Anthony Martial for blame, following this morning's EFL Cup 3rd round exit.

United lost 1-nil to West Ham, and Martial was heavily criticized by United fans for his poor performance.

However, Solksjaer says the entire team is to blame.

Martial has only managed one goal in 24 appearances in all competitions and is goalless in his last 15 games.

Under-pressure Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has asked for fans to be patient after a difficult start to the season.

Koeman said it will take time for the Catalan giants to return to top form, as he is trying to rebuild the team amid strict financial restraints.

Barca lost their opening Champions League fixture last week and have only won two of their opening four matches in the Spanish topflight, piling on the pressure ahead of tomorrow morning’s La Liga match against Cadiz.

Chelsea’s Timo Werner is grateful to have regained the support of fans after a lacklustre run last season.

The striker said it was good to hear fans singing his name, after he scored his first goal of the season in this morning’s EFL Cup 3rd round match against Aston Villa.

The forward had been battling with a lack of self-confidence this season, after losing his first team spot to new signing Romelu Lukaku.
