Some Manchester United fans feared for the club’s tradition of bringing though young players when Jose Mourinho was appointed manager. The former Chelsea manager has a reputation of overlooking young players in favour of established stars, while United have always been regarded as a club that give youngsters a chance in the first-team. Mourinho signing Zlatan […]

This is the weakest defence we’ve seen since Joe Hart’s rubber wrist attempted to keep out Kolbeinn Sigthorsson’s shot. Real Madrid and Barcelona are among five La Liga clubs that have been ordered by the European Commission to repay the Spanish government money after it was ruled they had been provided financial aid. According to the […]

Renato Sanches looks set to become one of the best players in the world. The 18-year-old has starred for Portugal at Euro 2016, after an impressive debut season with Benfica, and will link-up with Bayern Munich following the tournament. Sanches turned down an offer from Manchester United to join the German champions for a deal worth […]

A report in the Observer on Sunday made some explosive claims about England’s Euro 2016 campaign. The Three Lions returned home with their tails between their legs after a humiliating defeat against Iceland in the last-16 of the competition. The Observer had a report claiming that former England manager Roy Hodgson and his coach Gary […]

In 2011 Wales were ranked 117th in the world, and could only dream of qualifying for a major tournament. Five years later and Chris Coleman’s side are preparing for a European Championship semi-final against Portugal, and are set to see their world ranking skyrocket. The country secured wins over Slovakia and Russia in the group […]

Barcelona really pushed the boat out to retain Neymar. The La Liga giants faced a fight from Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United for the Brazilian forward, with both clubs heavily linked with a move for Neymar over the past year. However, all the speculation was put to bed on Friday when it was announced that […]

In fairness, he won’t be too surprised. Juan Mata has probably been sweating about his Manchester United future since last December, when the rumours about Jose Mourinho replacing Louis van Gaal began to gain momentum. The Spanish midfielder had been Chelsea’s best player in his two seasons with the club, and then Mourinho arrived, dropped him […]

Ander Herrera and Juan Mata seem like really sound lads. While there were numerous stories coming out of Old Trafford following Louis van Gaal’s sacking in May, we doubt either of the Spanish midfielders were the source of the leak. Herrera was the first Manchester United player to pay tribute to Ryan Giggs, who is set […]

Thibaut Courtois already wasn’t on good terms with the Belgium national team manager. The Chelsea goalkeeper and Marc Wilmots reportedly had a frank exchange of views following Belgium’s 2-0 defeat to Italy in their opening game of Euro 2016. “We were outclassed on all fronts,” Courtois said following the loss. “Tactically, technically and organisationally we came […]

No country for young men. Ashley Fletcher was set to be named on the bench for Manchester United’s trip to Watford last November, but injury meant Marcus Rashford took his place. Fletcher subsequently went on-loan to Barnsley, and Rashford went on to score on his Europa League, Premier League and international debuts, making England’s Euro […]

Alex Ferguson has terrible form in picking managers. The former Manchester United manager picked David Moyes as his successor, urging the Old Trafford faithful to back him and cited Moyes as the ideal man to carry on his legacy. It was a disaster and Moyes was gone within a year. However, Ferguson isn’t letting that jarring […]

If Robbie Brady’s move to Leicester City falls through, there are a few decent backup options. The Republic of Ireland star is in demand after his heroics at Euro 2016. Brady scored the winning goal against Italy and opened the scoring against France in the last-16 tie. The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a […]

A transfer directly between Manchester United and Liverpool would be extremely controversial.

Gabriel Heinze almost joined Liverpool from United in 2007, but Alex Ferguson blocked the move and the Argentine attempted to push the […]

The Republic of Ireland look set to lose their record goalscorer to retirement.
