Talk » United to a 3-2 victory.The Red D

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Another loss. Another day talking about Odell Beckham Jr.Its getting to be a habit for New York Giants rookie head coach Ben McAdoo.While McAdoo spent some time talking Tuesday about the Giants play in the wake of their 24-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, he probably spent much more time than he would have liked discussing Beckham and another of his emotional in-game outbursts.After his opening statement, McAdoo had to answer 11 of the next 12 questions about Beckham, his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the Vikings, the receiver saying Tuesday he was not having fun playing football, his claims the officials were targeting him, just to name a few.It was similar to last week after the loss to Washington. Beckham didnt get a 15-yard penalty in that game, but he had several meltdowns on the sideline during the game.McAdoo again had to talk about his best playmaker, but not for the plays he was making.The Giants had no media availability on Tuesday, but Beckham became the focal point in an interview with ESPNs Anita Marks.Football is my sanctuary, Beckham told her. Its where I go to escape. Its where Im most happy. Im not having fun anymore.McAdoo understood what his receiver was saying. He doesnt like losing and he certainly doesnt like being held to three catches for a career-low 23 yards.When we execute better, spread the ball around and everyone gets their opportunities, were going to have some fun, McAdoo said when asked about Beckhams comment.Until we execute better, hang onto the football and eliminate the penalties from our play, no one is going to be having any fun.Beckham didnt have much fun against the Vikings. Eli Manning did not throw a pass his way until the second quarter. When he caught a short one later in the quarter, Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes seemed to hit him late out of bounds.Beckham complained to the official and then said something to Rhodes.A flag came out and Beckham was hit with an unsportsmanlike penalty, costing the Giants 15 yards.McAdoo said that he thought there would have been offsetting penalties.Every game is officiated differently, McAdoo said. Not all crews officiate games the same way. You have scouting reports on officials just like you do on opponents. We need to understand how the games are going to be officiated. You usually find out pretty early.McAdoo said he was not aware whether the Giants planned to complain to the league about either the play or Beckhams allegations that he was being targeted by the officials.Beckham and Rhodes were matched against each other several times in the game and had some tiffs.McAdoo insisted those were not distractions to his team. He added that Beckham is a hard-working athlete who wants nothing more than to help his team win. He also said he speaks with Beckham every day, but refused to say what they talk about.The coach took the blame for Manning not throwing his way in the opening 22 minutes.Hes one heck of a player that wants the football, McAdoo said.However, Beckham needs to avoid getting any penalties that push his team back 15 yards.Manning said Beckham has to be aware that he is a focal point on the field for everyone.People are looking for him and hes got to be smart, Manning said. He cant afford to do anything that theyre going to call. Hes brought that on himself, so hes got to be aware of that.Game notesMcAdoo said that TE Larry Donnell is in the concussion protocol. S Nat Berhe has not been cleared to play after sustaining a concussion last week. ...

The incessant sniping between the two only adds to the drama, with Mourinho content to wear the black hat and antagonise the Frenchman seemingly to no end.Almost always, Mourinho is the first to add spice -- or vinegar depending on ones fan allegiances -- but hes also backed up all his pithiness with a 7-6-0 mark against Wenger.The one match he did lose, the 2015 Community Shield at Wembley Stadium, Mourinho made the defeat secondary by throwing his medal into the stands for a fan as he walked into the tunnel following the final whistle and claimed Arsenal lost their philosophy by playing that match in a defensive style similar to how he coached Chelsea.And after he took the Manchester United job this summer, he fired a not-so-subtle volley at Wenger, saying: There are some managers, the last time they won a title was 10 years ago, the last time I won was a year ago. If I have something to prove, imagine the others. To finish fourth is not the aim.For this match at least, Wenger is trying to downplay the animosity between the two and instead focusing on the fact Arsenal (7-3-1) -- fourth and trailing the other Manchester side on goal difference but only two points behind front-runners Liverpool -- have a chance to not only put more distance between themselves and United (5-3-3) but also keep themselves in the thick of the title race.Look, I dont think I have to describe our relationship, the manager said at his pre-match news conference Thursday. He will fight for his team and I will fight for my team and I think that is completely normal.You know, we didnt lose always. We have beaten them and there were many draws as well. I think I have won against every manager in the world during my 20 years here and I do not make this game a competition between two managers … I think I can understand that people want to create controversy, but its not that that makes the audience. What will make the audience is the quality of the game.Yet one can point to that quote with Wenger hanging onto that Community Shield win to claim Mourinho is still in his head. And its just not that Mourinho wins these matches, its the fact he completely flummoxes Wenger and Arsenal, one of the most flowing sides in all of Europe.The Gunners have only five goals in those 13 matches, failing to score on a Mourinho-coached team in a league or cup match since Gilberto Silva converted a penalty kick in the 43rd minute of a 1-1 draw on May 6, 2007, a span of 587 minutes.To take it one step further, that drought extends to 708 minutes in the run of play while Mourinho has been on the touchline, dating to Theo Walcotts goal in the 12th minute of the 2007 League Cup final, a match Chelsea rallied to win 2-1.And as the 14th clash between Mourinho and Wenger dominates the storylines while Arsenal look to extend their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 17 matches (12-4-0), there is also the matter of overcoming their struggles at Old Trafford.The Gunners woes there extend back to Mourinhos predecessors Sir Alex Ferguson, David Moyes and the man he replaced, Louis Van Gaal. The lone win in their last 10 trips (1-2-7) was a 2-1 victory in the 2015 FA Cup quarterfinals, and Arsenal have been outscored 20-8 in those nine league matches. The streak is highlighted by Uniteds 8-2 thumping on Aug. 28, 2011.Wenger will havve almost all of his first-choice players available except for right back Hector Bellerin, who is expected to miss a month due to a knee injury suffered in the north London derby versus Tottenham Hotspur.dddddddddddd There was worry striker Alexis Sanchez would not be available after picking up a leg injury in training for Chile, but the teams joint-leading scorer with eight goals put that to rest by bagging a brace in a World Cup qualifier win over Uruguay on Tuesday.I think were even more determined to achieve something and win the Premier League, but you have to take it slow, said Sanchez, who has two goals in five lifetime matches versus the Red Devils. We have a great team, our ambitions are high and we want to win the league.Wengers top two options to replace Bellerin on the backline are Mathieu Debuchy and Carl Jenkinson, though Debuchy has yet to appear in a match this season and Jenkinson has played just two games. Danny Welbeck, who scored the FA Cup winner against his former team, is sidelined with a long-term injury.Amazingly, Mourinho does not have a stranglehold on the Manchester United storylines. Captain Wayne Rooney, a forgotten figure of sorts having started just once in the clubs last six matches, made headlines for all the wrong reasons this week when tabloids splashed front-page pictures of him appearing inebriated at a wedding reception being held at the national teams hotel following Englands World Cup qualifier win over Scotland.Rooney opted to stay at the teams headquarters rather than venture out with teammates, but the pictures showed he had a good time all the same. He released a statement saying he apologised to both the England FA and interim manager Gareth Southgate -- soon expected to be named the full-time boss of the Three Lions -- but the incident puts more scrutiny on whether the 31-year-old Rooneys days with the national team are numbered both as captain and even as a player.Yet there could be a spot Saturday for Rooney, who has 13 goals and five assists in 30 lifetime matches versus Arsenal, because Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suspended due to a yellow card accumulation. And this match seemed tailor-made for Ibrahimovic, the teams leading scorer with seven goals in all competitions, given how he relishes both the spotlight and the villains role in these high-profile matches.Im sorry I am suspended, the Swedish forward told MUTV. I wish I wasnt as its a game I really wanted to play in. But I have trust in my teammates and the team. I know they can do fine without me.Mourinhos other options are the kiddie corps of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. Rashford, of course, burst onto the scene in last seasons fixture at Old Trafford -- scoring two goals in a three-minute span of the first half to power Manchester United to a 3-2 victory.The Red Devils have not won back-to-back games since three victories on the trot at the end of September, and given how this seasons race appears to be more traditional in that all six perennial Premier League sides and neighbours Manchester City occupy the top seven spots in the table, this is shaping up to be a contest United must pick up points to maintain their European aspirations.The team is eager to find a good streak and after defeating Swansea we are looking forward to playing Arsenal at the weekend, midfielder Juan Mata wrote on his blog. The top end of the Premier League table is very tight and we are going to work hard to keep a good streak and approach those top spots.This will be the 224th meeting between the sides in a rivalry that dates back to 1894. United hold the upper hand with 94 victories to Arsenals 80, and the teams have split the points on 49 occasions. ' ' '
