Sky's pundit Jamie has put his foot in his mouth (not literally...)

Years ago, Redknapp used to use ‘literally’ incorrectly. “Barca literally passed Arsenal to death,” he once said. That made more sense than his guesswork surrounding Marcus Rashford’s bench role at Crystal Palace.

It pays to be informed and one of football’s biggest payees often aren’t. Sky Sports News have sent more than ten different reporters to United’s training complex over the past year, having jettisoned their United authority, James Cooper, after more than 20 years of sterling service.

Twice last season, their rolling news service misunderstood Erik ten Hag’s comments on the banished Jadon Sancho and United’s croque monsieur, Anthony Martial.

Sky thought Sancho had returned to the squad in October and that Martial was in line for a new contract. Both were announced on their yellow ticker. Sancho was still in exile and Martial would be released.
