The Herald reports Daniel Bennie faces a choice between Australia and Scotland for his international future. Jim Goodwin says Scotland Under-21 coach Tony Docherty is monitoring the QPR loanee, who played his youth football in Australia. Goodwin says one difference is that Australia have an Under-23 side heading towards the Olympics, which could sway him.
The Courier reports that Goodwin says United were desperate to re-sign Amar Fatah and made a really good offer, but could not compete with Serie A. Fatah, last season’s loanee and the supporters’ player of the year, scored his first Lecce goal this month. Goodwin messaged him afterwards.
The Courier also reports that Police Scotland are investigating pyrotechnics at two Scottish Premiership games in Dundee and Perth last Saturday, including United’s draw at St Johnstone. A flare landed on United’s goal line in the second half and referee Ross Hardie stopped play. Police said taking pyrotechnics into a stadium is a criminal offence and inquiries are continuing.
In the academy, forward Joene Mampovisa has joined Carnoustie Panmure on a short-term loan for the next couple of months. United say the move is intended to give him first-team experience. Mampovisa featured regularly for the under-seventeens and under-nineteens before signing a new contract in the summer.
