• Spanish club threaten legal action over defender
• Sierra Leonean missed training on Tuesday

Real Valladolid have accused Manchester City of advising their defender Juma Bah to break his ­contract and not train on Tuesday to force a cheaper move to the Premier League champions, with the Spanish club threatening legal action.

Bah, an 18-year-old centre-back, joined Valladolid in August and became the first Sierra Leonean to play in La Liga. The club say Bah has bought out his youth ­contract after refusing to sign a senior deal that would have made him more expensive.

• Coach says talking to squad post-game also a mistake
• Increased police presence for tie at home to Rangers

Ruben Amorim regrets saying his Manchester United team may be the worst in the club’s history and giving the post-match dressing down that reportedly damaged a television screen.

The head coach claimed that his public comments after ­Sunday’s 3-1 defeat by Brighton at Old ­Trafford were aimed more at his ­underperformance than his players. He also suggested changing-room criticism of his squad had been an error because he does not usually address them after a game.
