Corentin Tolisso is sat in the press room at Old Trafford on Wednesday night scrolling through his phone and smiling. He’s waiting for Lyon’s press conference to start as hushed conversations in the room focus on the surprise in England at the level of 21-year-old superstar Rayan Cherki.

Manchester United got the latest reminder of just how big the gap is between themselves and those teams chasing a top four finish as they were thrown around by Newcastle United on Sunday.

No, Amass was treated just like the rest of the dressing room. It was a sign to insiders of just how well he has done to become part of the furniture.
