Kylian Mbappe reveals why he rejected Liverpool move despite holding talks

Ligue 1, Premier League
Kylian Mbappe has confirmed that Real Madrid were not the only club he held discussions with over a free transfer, also speaking to Premier League giants Liverpool about a move. The Frenchman, whose previous deal with the Ligue 1 champions had been set to expire next month, was expected to move to the Spanish capital this summer and become the highest-paid player in the world. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But unexpectedly over the weekend he announced a shocking U-turn, confirming that he had decided to stay at PSG and signing a new deal until 2025. Mbappe is believed to have been handed the most lucrative contract in the club’s history and will have a big say over the running of the club, while even French president Emmanuel Macron was drafted ...

Hannibal Mejbri involved in fight with Man Utd team-mate in training

Premier League
Alex Telles and Hannibal Mejbri have been named as the two Manchester United stars involved in a training ground bust-up this month as the club endured a miserable end to the campaign. United finished in sixth position - good enough for Europa League football - but lost four of their last six matches. The last of those, a 1-0 reverse at Crystal Palace, ensured they finished the season six points shy of their previous lowest league tally. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Reports of a bust-up between two teammates had first been reported in the middle of the month, shortly after a 4-0 defeat at Brighton ensured United couldn't match their 2013-14 total of 64 points. But, it has now emerged that Hannibal and Telles were the parties involved. According ...

Erik ten Hag sends warning to Man City & Liverpool in first Man Utd press conference

Premier League
Erik ten Hag says Manchester United can finally end Liverpool and Manchester City’s dominance in the Premier League while Jurgen Klopp and Guardiola are still in the division. City won their fourth Premier League title in five years on Sunday as their 3-2 comeback win over Aston Villa ensured they finished a point ahead of Liverpool. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The Red devils, meanwhile, ended their miserable campaign with a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace and finished 35 points behind champions City. Many believe Man City and Liverpool will continue to lead the way in England while Guardiola and Klopp remain in charge at their respective clubs.

Erik ten Hag drops Van de Beek hint & leaves Man Utd fans furious with Maguire verdict

Erik ten Hag drops Van de Beek hint & leaves Man Utd fans furious with Maguire verdict

Premier League
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has praised Donny van de Beek and said he is ‘looking forward’ to working with the player again. Ten Hag was appointed as United's new manager in April from the start of the 2022/23 campaign and previously managed Van de Beek at Ajax from 2017 to 2020. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The midfielder excelled under him and was part of Ajax’s superb run to the Champions League semi-finals in 2018/19 where they eliminated both Real Madrid and Juventus before the defeat to Tottenham. He was on the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d’Or later that year. His form convinced United to spend £35m on the player in 2020 but after failing to secure regular football, he joined Everton on deadline day in January. He played jus...
Mo Salah ‘thought he’d won the league’ after Liverpool goal despite Man City comeback

Mo Salah ‘thought he’d won the league’ after Liverpool goal despite Man City comeback

Premier League
Mohamed Salah could scarcely believe it when he came off the bench to put Liverpool ahead on the last day of the Premier League season - only to realise Manchester City had completed their comeback. The Egyptian started as a sub in a must-win game for the Reds. They'd fallen behind against Wolves, but levelled before the break. Seeking a crucial winning goal, Salah was introduced and came up with the goods in front of the Kop with just six minutes left. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); City were having problems at the Ethiad, losing 2-0 to Aston Villa after 70 minutes. The last Salah knew before coming on was that Guardiola's side were behind - and three points for Liverpool would see them claim the title on the last day of the season. Salah's react...
Ralf Rangnick blames Man Utd player for Crystal Palace goal

Ralf Rangnick blames Man Utd player for Crystal Palace goal

Premier League
Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick has criticised Bruno Fernandes for his role in Crystal Palace’s winning goal as they suffered their 12th defeat of the campaign. Rangnick had wanted to end the season on a small high by securing Europa League qualification with a win, but they fell behind in the first half to a goal from Wilfried Zaha. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Fortunately for the Red Devils, Brighton came from behind against West Ham to beat the east Londoners, meaning it was the Hammers who had to settle for Europa Conference League football next campaign. Zaha’s goal was a bit of a disaster from United’s point of view, with Fernandes volleying a throw-in back towards his own goal without looking and the ball dropped for the P...

Cavani gives middle finger to Man Utd fan after final game for the club

Premier League
Departing Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani had an altercation with a fan after his final match for the club, giving the fan the middle finger as he boarded the team bus. The Uruguayan’s contract with United expires next month and he will not be extending his stay at Old Trafford, with Ralf Rangnick giving him a rare start against Crystal Palace on Sunday as a farewell appearance. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Cavani played the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 defeat at Selhurst Park, though United were spared the embarrassment of playing in the Europa Conference League after West Ham were also beaten by Brighton. The 35-year-old was given a good send-off on the pitch in south London, saluting the away supporters, while a clip of a young fan beggi...

‘You don’t have to stay!’ – De Gea tells wantaway Man Utd stars to leave

Premier League
Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea has told any team-mates that do not want to stay at the club to leave Old Trafford this summer. The Red Devils ended a poor season with a 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace, meaning United finish the campaign with their lowest ever Premier League points and a goal difference of zero. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Erik ten Hag was in the stands at Selhurst Park today and he’s expected to meet the team next week before his work really gets started at the club. There’s a huge job on the Dutchman’s hands, with a disjointed, discontent squad at Manchester United. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); De Gea has been one of the few outstanding performers of United’s season and he is perh...
Rangnick reveals he regrets Man Utd transfer decision after dismal season

Rangnick reveals he regrets Man Utd transfer decision after dismal season

Premier League
Ralf Rangnick has suggested that he regrets the decision to loan out Manchester United star Anthony Martial as he discussed the club’s underwhelming campaign. The Red Devils are currently sixth in the Premier League going into their last game against Crystal Palace on Sunday, 10 points outside of the top four and 32 points behind league leaders Manchester City. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); After an encouraging start under Rangnick, results soon fell away and the German manager believes the team ‘lost momentum’ largely due to a shortage of attacking players. While Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 24 goals in all competitions since returning to the club, United have struggled going forward with Martial loaned out, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho stru...
Chelsea considering Lewandowski move after Tuchel hints at deals

Chelsea considering Lewandowski move after Tuchel hints at deals

Premier League
Chelsea are considering rivalling Barcelona for the signing of Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, with Thomas Tuchel ready to add more firepower to his attack. The Blues started the campaign with hopes of mounting a title challenge but Liverpool and Manchester City quickly pulled away from the London side. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Romelu Lukaku was signed for a club record fee of £97m last summer but he’s managed just eight league goals this campaign and the Blues are open to offers for the Belgium International. Mason Mount is the only Chelsea player that has managed double figures this season and Tuchel feels that the side’s lack of goals has cost them dearly.
