MAURICIO POCHETTINO is ready to unleash a young Lionel Messi on Gillingham in the EFL Cup tonight. CHELSEA have said fax but no fax to Real Madrids bizarre pursuit of Thibaut Courtois. He played 92 games for Barcelona B before moving to Portugal. Even last season, when his powers looked to be on the wane, he stepped up to score the decisive penalty and ensure his team lifted another league cup. United travelled down to Northampton on Tuesday and stayed at the four-star Daventry Court hotel, where a double room costs around £104 per night. But in a statement afternoon, the FA hit back to insist they had no involvement. He sent me off for a training camp in the south of France, with the fitness guru Tiburce Darou. The majority of his backroom staff are also thought to be without a permanent home in the city. JOSE Mourinho tried to get the the wheels rolling on Manchester United’s season – by having them train in a CAR PARK. Moyes yesterday explained the late switch was down to concerns over the left-backs heart.
