Posted on September 16, 2019 by index

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has said that the Red Devils don’t stand the chance of competing for the Premier League title despite the fact that they secured a comfortable 4-0 triumph over Chelsea on the opening day.

Speaking after the game, Mourinho said that United will have a good season when compared to the previous where they finished sixth on the standings. Continue reading →

Kleberson believes Manchester United should part ways with Paul Pogba

Posted on August 16, 2019 by index

Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson has said that the Red Devils should take the option of selling Paul Pogba this summer, given the midfielder does not suit the club’s style of play. The Frenchman has been with the Red Devils for the past three seasons but he has acknowledged that he could move on during the current transfer window.

In a report covered by The Mirror, Klebersonappreciated that the Frenchman remains a great player, though he does not seem to suit the Red Devils.He said: “It is the right move to sell Paul Pogba, he’s a great player and his talent is unbelievable, but his style is a little bit different, and not particularly what Man United need. He could use this opportunity now to leave and get a fresh start, play in a different atmosphere, and embrace a new challenge. Sometimes it’s hard to come to Manchester United and adapt to play a particular style. It doesn’t mean he’s not a good player with great quality.”

Neil Shipperley believes Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s move to Manchester United is a fair business

Posted on July 18, 2019 by index

Former Crystal Palace star Neil Shipperley believes the Eagles would be doing fair business with the sale of Aaron Wan-Bissaka to Manchester United this summer. The England youth international only made his first-team debut for the Eagles last year but he has made a good impression in the Premier League to attract big-club interest.

Among those, United have been deemed favourites to seal a transfer agreement for around £50m and Shipperley believes the Eagles should sanction the move, he said: “I think it’s good business for a right-back that has made 42 appearances. It’s a great deal for the club. This is football at the moment. There’s not a bidding war for him. Manchester United are the club. No-one else is coming in for him so you’re not going to have this bidding war. I think £50m or £55m is a fair deal.”

Posted on June 11, 2019 by index

Former Liverpool star Steve McMahon has said that Paul Pogba has played a key catalyst in Manchester United’s downfall over the past few years. The France international recently enjoyed his best season with the Red Devils with 16 goals and 11 assists, but he was still inconsistent with his showing which generated fan criticism.

Speaking to Stadium Astro, McMahon said that Pogba has downed tools for United on multiple occasions during his time at the club and he has been one of the players to blame for the club’s fall from grace. He added that Sir Alex Ferguson was clever to get rid of Pogba during his time at the helm and the club are presently far away from challenging for the Premier League and making the top four.

Can Bayern Munich replace Robben and Ribery?

Posted on June 5, 2019September 8, 2020 by admin

Bayern Munich are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the German giants have been hugely successful both domestically and in Europe over the past decade. Two players who have been synonymous with Bayern’s success over the past 10 years are Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, and it seems that both the wingers are leaving this summer.

Robben joined Bayern from Spanish and European giants Real Madrid in the summer of 2019 for €25 million, and the Dutch winger was an instant success. The former Chelsea star’s dribbling skills, running at defenders and taking accurate shots on goals endeared him to the Allianz Arena faithful. Continue reading →

But of course there are some that need to get a reality check on where they’re at.

Posted on April 29, 2019 by index

Former Liverpool star John Arne Riise has said that the Reds may require some assistance from Manchester United in order to secure their maiden Premier League crown this term. Jurgen Klopp’s side have enjoyed an exceptional season by their standards in the top-flight but they are still one point behind Manchester City in the pursuit of the title.

Speaking to BeIN Sports, Riise acknowledged that the title race could go down to the wire and United could have a major say on the Reds’ prospects of securing a maiden Premier League crown, he said: “Well I hope we get some help from the neighbours of City, Man U. They’ve got to meet them away from home. Man United have got to win as well to get to the top four. So I look at that game, it could be crucial for City. But they’re looking so strong. Yes [Liverpool can win six out of six], yes [Liverpool will win six out of six]. They will win, but there are some tough games, they haven’t played at their best lately.”
