Young walks out
Everton ace Ashley Young left the TNT Sports team hanging after walking out of an interview following a quip from Joleon Lescott.
Young featured off the bench at Old Trafford as his team lost 2-0 to former side Manchester United.
Rio Ferdinand questioned the veteran on his longevity and asked how he was able to keep going.
Lescott quickly interjected and claimed it was because of all the running the versatile winger does after games.
The ex-England international had just completed his warm down after the game, hence Lescott's comment, but he dismissed his suggestion.
The 38-year-old hit back saying: "Running after games? No it's not that."
In the red
Manchester United ace Scott McTominay faces losing nearly £1million after investing in a failed firm run by his girlfriend's dad.
Fortress Capital Partners, which is the company operated by McTominay’s partner Cameron Reading and her dad Ashley, went bust last year as it owed £18m, leaving 230 people out of pocket.
The company borrowed from investors including Boyzone star Shane Lynch, then lent it out at higher interest rates.
The Readings also splashed out millions on luxury investment properties in the UK, Dubai as well as Spain while the midfielder lent Fortress £1m to buy one in Portugal.
The Scotland international now stands to get back just £100,000 after administrators confirmed investors are expected to get just 10p of every £1 they put in.

Ferdinand praises Ten Hag
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag's high demands during training have impressed Rio Ferdinand.
The standards was a big thing when I was here. We used to have Paul Scholes setting the standards. He was the best every day.
It's so refreshing to hear him talk about the training ground and standards.
Standards, standards, standards. That's one of the things he kept repeating about - standards.
Rio Ferdinand'So refreshing', says Rio Ferdinand after interview with Erik ten Hag at Man Utd training ground‘How dare you?’
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand had to issue a death stare to his Arsenal supporting co-host Joel Beya as Manchester City star Kyle Walker made a tense appearance on his FIVE podcast.
The Gunners travel to the Etihad on March 31 to face City, who they beat 1-0 at the Emirates in October.
Beya could not hide his confidence as he brazenly warned Walker, which forced Ferdinand to awkwardly step in.
The former defender said: “Your energy is mad. You’ve not won nothing but you’re energy is like you’ve got a few titles behind you.”
Beya then looked at Walker and said: “I don’t want to say too much yeah, but for real, me and my friends are looking at that game on 31 March and we reckon we can get something out of that game.
“For many years you go there and it’s a bit… you don’t know. But this time around.”
As Walker covered his mouth while smirking, Ferdinand jumped in and asked Beya: “Why is there base in your voice? How dare you?”

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag praised Alejandro Garnacho's performance against Everton.
He's progressing very well and we are very pleased with this.
His contribution today was huge, his runs, his dribbles.
It's attractive as well for the audience, obviously we want to show something. I think they were well-deserved penalties.
Erik ten HagTen Hag reacts
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is "pleased" with the victory over Everton but insists the performance could have been better.
[I was pleased] In areas yes, especially with our attacks and counter-attacks, but we can make better choices to rest on the ball, choosing when to break.
We could have scored three or four goals not just the two penalties. We defended quite well, we could have been a bit better in the build-up.
We could have been calmer and more composed on the ball. Everton did well and pressed high which gave us lots of chances in behind.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes revealed he offered the second penalty-kick to Marcus Rashford against Everton.
Obviously we know we have to win every game that we have ahead. We know our position in the league and it's not enough for us.
We want to try and get into the spots for the Champions League. We know it's going to be tough and difficult but we have to win these games.
We didn't win against Fulham. That was not good enough. Then we go away to [Manchester] City and we don't win two games in a row. It gets tough. Aston Villa is doing really well, in moments Tottenham are being really good. It will be more difficult for us than them but we have to push.
We both kick the penalties. I asked Marcus if he wanted to take and he said he was confident. He is one of the penalty takers that the manager chooses. I felt I had my one, Rashy could get his goal from the penalty.
Bruno FernandesTen Hag on Rashford
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag praised Marcus Rashford after a series of hapless performances.
He is good in the game, good in the team. It shows the team spirit. Bruno [Fernandes] took the first but we have more very good penalty takers. In this moment he is good, in the team, and he is a threat.
We defended very well. Our expected goals is much higher than them. We are defending low quality chances. Sometimes, we are defending very low but we can do that very well.
It was [an] important [win]. We had one bad result against Fulham in this calendar year. We had to put this right and keep the pressure on the teams above us. There are many games to play. Now we are back. We will keep pressure on them and see what happens.
