Turkey's Erdogan says German Chancellor Merkel backs terror as EU row intensifies

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday (March 13, 2017) accused German Chancellor Angela Merkel of backing terrorists, as new acrimony erupted between Turkey and its EU allies.

United, who face a Europa League last 16 tie on Thursday against Russian club Rostov, were missing the suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovic and injured Wayne Rooney and offered little threat once Kante had beaten David de Gea with a precise low shot.
