Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not a caretaker manager anymore and after signing a long-term contract with Manchester United that is supposed to keep him at the club until June 2022, the Norwegian is expected to make big changes this summer.
Man United s goal is to become title challengers again, something they have not truly been in Premier League since 2013 and their last league title. And to do that, they will need to strengthen in almost all areas of the pitch right-back especially.
Daily Mirror claim Man United are ready to spend £35m on Aaron Wan-Bissaka. According to them, the Crystal Palace defender, who is having a truly memorable season, Man United really want to improve their situation at right-back, considering Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia are simpl…
Market: Harry Kane to score anytime
Odds:
England kick off their bid for World Cup glory with a Group G clash against Tunisia in Volgograd.
For Gareth Southgate s England side, with so many of the pre-tournament favorites failing to impress, The Three Lions will have the opportunity to make an early statement on Monday night. With an air of confidence around a revitalized squad, England will be looking for captain Harry Kane to carry on his own impressive run of form. After scoring 30 Premier League goals for Tottenham last season, the 24-year-old has now scored in his last five consecutive games when wearing the armband.
As for Nabil Maâloul Tunisia side, the Reds will be looking to spoil the party on Monday night and have also put in some impress…
James Milner believes Jurgen Klopp s exuberant touchline antics are part of an authentic package that helps drive Liverpool forward.
The Reds triumphed in the Champions League for their maiden trophy under manager Klopp last season and have won their opening eight Premier League games this term to stir hopes of a first top-flight title since 1990.
Routinely challenging for major silverware makes for a significant improvement from where Liverpool were when Klopp took over in October 2015, the club then languishing in 10th.
Animated celebrations and sideline theatrics have gained him admirers and critics while becoming a hallmark of his managerial make-up, but midfielder Milner insists the behaviour is genuine.
The biggest thing with the manager is th…
Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke reiterated his desire to remain with the Spanish giants amid speculation linking him to the Premier League.
Koke has emerged as a reported target for incoming Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, while Jose Mourinho expected to be announced as the new Manchester United manager in the coming days is apparently an admirer of the 24-year-old.
The central midfielder has established himself as one of the key figures in Diego Simeone s Atletico side, having already made over 250 appearances for the La Liga club since his promotion from the youth set-up in 2009.
However, Koke insists he wants to stay in Madrid, admitting money is no factor in any potential move.
To be an Atleti player is the best there is. You always have …
Jurgen Klopp has suggested he is more likely to retire than step back into management.
Klopp left Liverpool at the end of last season, and is enjoying a sabbatical away from the game.
The German had been linked with the vacant England job, but has distanced himself from such speculation, while he also reportedly turned down an offer to coach the United States.
And now the 57-year-old, who coached Mainz before leading Borussia Dortmund to back-to-back Bundesliga titles, has claimed, for the time being, he is considering himself as retired, though he did leave the door open to return to football in some capacity.
Let s see what it will look like in a few months. Nothing is coming through at the moment, Klopp said.
As of today, that s it for me as …
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has lavished praise upon his Tottenham counterpart Mauricio Pochettino ahead of Sunday s top-of-the-table clash at White Hart Lane.
The Premier League s two remaining unbeaten sides meet in north London, with City four points ahead at the summit by virtue of their 100 per cent record from six matches.
Guardiola tangled with Pochettino when they were local rivals as coaches of Barcelona and Espanyol in LaLiga and he is an admirer of Spurs progress under the Argentinian.
I played against Pochettino as a player and then as a coach, Guardiola told a pre-match news conference. I think he s one of the best managers in the world I enjoy watching Tottenham.
He s doing an amazing job in London. The way they play I like a lot…
Francesco Totti is as much an icon of Rome as the Colosseum and St. Peter s Basilica, according to former Roma head coach Claudio Ranieri.
The veteran forward scored his 250th Serie A goal in the 3-1 loss to Torino on September 25, just two days before he celebrated his 40th birthday in what is his 25th senior season with the club.
Only Silvio Piola (274) has scored more goals in Italy s top flight, while heralded former AC Milan and Inter captains Paolo Maldini and Javier Zanetti are the only players to have made more than Totti s 605 Serie A appearances.
Totti, a World Cup-winner with Italy in 2006, is expected to retire at the end of the season, but Ranieri believes his former skipper still has plenty to offer.
There s the Colosseum, St Peter s and th…
Kylian Mbappe snatched a famous Champions League victory from Newcastle’s grasp with a controversial penalty in the eighth minute of stoppage-time to earn Paris St Germain a 1-1 draw at the Parc des Princes.
Defender Tino Livramento was harshly adjudged to have handled Ousmane Dembele’s cross to allow the France superstar to finally beat goalkeeper Nick Pope from the spot on a night when Eddie Howe’s men came within seconds of a win which would have set them up perfectly for their final Group F fixture against AC Milan at St James’ Park.
They led through Alexander Isak’s 24th-minute strike and looked to have survived a second-half onslaught with Pope saving from Mbappe, Dembele and substitute Bradley Barcola, but they headed back to Tyneside wondering what migh…
Robert Lewandowski continued what has felt like a one-man argument for the Bundesliga s status quo as he inspired Bayern Munich to a 4-0 Klassiker victory over Borussia Dortmund at the Allianz Arena.
On the face of it, these are changing times in Germany s top flight, not least for Bayern.
The reigning champions were playing their first league game under interim head coach Hansi Flick after Niko Kovac didn t so much run out of road as go careering off the autobahn during last weekend s miserable visit to his old employers Eintracht Frankfurt.
Lewandowski got Bayern s goal to briefly punctuate the misery at the Commerzbank-Arena. Of course he did.
Saturday s opener to begin another Dortmund ordeal in Bavaria continued his run of scoring in every Bundeslig…
