Erik ten Hag insisted his Manchester United players remain ‘physically and mentally very strong’ amid a hectic fixture schedule – before watching them lose 1-0 at West Ham. The clash at the London Stadium was United’s 57th match of a hugely draining and demanding campaign and Ten Hag insisted his team have done ‘really well’ despite being at a ‘big disadvantage’. Unfortunately, United then turned in a poor performance at the London Stadium as goalkeeper David de Gea fumbled in a Said Benrahma shot to split the teams.

With a decent sense of timing, the Saudi Tourism Authority sent out an email on Wednesday. It was titled: ‘Messi’s Riyadh trip uncovers the family side of the world’s most exciting new destination’. In catchier form, it boiled down to what football’s greatest talent chose over his day job in Paris. It was quite the read. With his wife and two of their three sons, we learnt Lionel Messi indulged in some fine dining this week at Bujairi Terrace in Diriyah. They also took in a palm weaving demonstration, marvelled at purebred Arabian horses and posed with a white falcon. Messi, the…
Paris Saint-Germain shut out the noise surrounding the club with an assured 3-1 victory at Troyes, a win that takes them to the brink of the title. The club was thrown into fresh crisis this week when it emerged Lionel Messi had been suspended for two weeks after he made an unsanctioned trip to Saudi Arabia, a visit that was performed in his role as an ambassador for the country. It remains to be seen whether he ever plays for the club again, though such questions did not appear to bother his team-mates on Sunday evening. Kylian Mbappe scored in the eighth minute…

The Argentine might have won the World Cup, but his form during the second half of the season threatens to derail his bid for an eighth Golden Ball On Wednesday, as one elite footballer careened off into the Manchester night in celebration, another sat at home, somewhere on the European continent. The first had just scored his 35th Premier League goal of the season, smashing a record that had stood almost 30 years, with an emphatic dink.

Unnervingly, Mbappé was not even born when France last won their last World Cup without him in 1998. Born to a Cameroonian father and Algerian mother, Mbappé is the product of immigration and grew up in the banlieues of Bondy, a small suburban commune located just six miles from the Parisian city centre. Despite its proximity to the city centre, Bondy bears little resemblance to the grandeur and affluence of the Champs-Élysées. It is part of the infamous Seine St Denis 93rd arrondissement – one of the France’s poorest neighbourhoods which over the years has earned a reputation for sky-high…
