Erik ten Hag has confirmed Alejandro Garnacho will be out for “weeks” but revealed the Manchester United winger will play again before the end of the season despite suffering an injury against Southampton.

The Man City manager recalled at length the American actress’ 2016 trip to Old Trafford after winning in the Champions League. Manchester United have poked fun at Pep Guardiola following comments made by the Manchester City manager about the American actress Julia Roberts after their Champions League victory over RB Leipzig. City putting seven goals past the German side in Manchester on Tuesday night and Erling Haaland helping himself to five to break yet more records in the competition was not enough to satisfy the Catalan coach on the night. While his side may have again progressed to the Champions League quarter-finals and are favourites…

The Portuguese playmaker has mainly been used as an attacking midfielder since joining United, with Fernandes recognised as one of the most potent number 10s in the world. But Fernandes has often been used from the right flank this term, either at the start of matches or as the match progresses to protect a lead. After taking heavy criticism for his behaviour in a 7-0 defeat to Liverpool, Fernandes was named Man of the Match for his display in a 4-1 win against Real Betis. Fernandes played alongside Casemiro in a deeper midfield role and he was selected in a…

It was outlined at the time that Luis Enrique was Ronaldo’s pick to replace Solskjaer after the Old Trafford hierarchy made the difficult decision to dispense with the Norwegian’s services back in November 2021. The former Barcelona chief didn’t get the call back then, with United instead opting to…

While mood around Paris Saint-Germain has been gloomy after the capital club exited the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Bayern Munich, losing 2-0 (3-0 on aggregate) last Wednesday at Allianz Arena. Nonetheless, the squad attempts to move past the disappointing result, but the mood appears upbeat, as veteran Sergio Ramos and current captain Kylian Mbappé showed during practice.

Pep Guardiola has hilariously insisted that he will always be a failure at Manchester City even if he brings three consecutive Champions League trophies to the Etihad – because his side were once snubbed by his long-time idol Julia Roberts. The manager was in high spirits during the bizarre and entertaining press conference on Tuesday, which came after his City side had thrashed RB Leipzig 7-0 to cruise into the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Guardiola revealed that Roberts is one of his three idols, alongside golf legend Tiger Woods and NBA all-time great Michael Jordan, and subsequently claimed he will always be a failure at…

Erik ten Hag has U-turned on a once-forgotten Manchester United forward signed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Facundo Pellistri seemed destined to leave Manchester United in January after not playing a single minute under Erik ten Hag, two-and-a-half years after joining the club. But no loan move came to fruition, and Pellistri has since caught the eye with several impressive cameos off the bench, changing his manager’s mind about him. The 21-year-old arrived late in the summer of 2020 when United responded to missing out on Jadon Sancho by handing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer two Uruguayan attacking signings. Pellistri signed alongside Edinson Cavani for a…

There is little doubt among Barcelona fans that Lionel Messi is the club’s greatest ever player. Among other ridiculous statistics, the Argentine is Barca’s leading appearance maker and top goal scorer in history, and he helped them with a plethora of trophies during his time in Catalonia. There was much devastation when it was confirmed that Barcelona could not re-sign Messi in 2021, following the expiration of his contract. He joined PSG later that summer, where he remains until today. However, Messi’s time at the French champions could be coming to an end, with his contract expiring at the end…

Everyone thought that Mbappe was going to Real Madrid, however, this offer may change everything. Paris Saint Germain was on the verge of a new failure at the weekend because they were drawing 1-1 against the modest Brest and ended up beating them at the final minute of the Ligue 1 match with a great pass from Lionel Messi for Kylian Mbappé to convert the winning goal, in a one-on-one with the rival goalkeeper. And in this sense, Kylian Mbappé is one of those who could leave the ship of Paris Saint Germain due to the premature elimination of the…

Ronaldo didn’t like the whistle blown at the end of the first half on a golden scoring chance for his Al-Nassr Cristiano Ronaldo’s frustrations with a referee during his match with Al-Nassr on Tuesday were taken out on a soccer ball at the end of the first half against Abha. Ronaldo, who was playing in the King Cup of Champions game in the Saudi Pro League, chested down a clear from Al-Nassr’s zone and had teammates with him heading upfield with a good chance to pull away. Al-Nassr was already up 2-0 in the match. However, the referee blew the whistle…

Erik ten Hag has managed to unite the Reds squad after becoming Manchester United manager in the summer. It was evident, from minute one, that Manchester United were desperate to beat Southampton and strengthen their position in the Premier League table. Erik ten Hag’s side – even if not mathematically – are well and truly out of the title race, but there is still a lot to play for in the league. Clearly, the FA Cup and Europa League represented clearer silverware opportunities heading into the weekend, and if United can triumph in either of those competitions, it would mark a good…

Raphael Varane has opened up on his concerns after Manchester United’s latest setback under Erik ten Hag. Manchester United defender Raphael Varane admits the absence of Casemiro has the potential to unbalance Erik ten Hag’s side as he serves out another red card ban. The Brazilian received his marching orders for the second time this season when diving in with a studs up challenge on Carlos Alcaraz in the 0-0 draw with Southampton on Sunday. Casemiro will miss Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final against Fulham as well as league matches on the other side of the March international break against Newcastle away, followed by Brentford and Everton at home.…

The world champion could be in the sights of a great Englishman for the following season Lionel Messi is not guaranteed the extension of his contract with PSG, especially after the elimination of the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich. From France they take it as a fact that the Parisian board will not renew its link until 2024, although everything was practically defined. In this context, an English club would go for the top winner of the Ballon d’Or (7), who would have a juicy salary, far from what Cristiano Ronaldo currently earns. After the World Cup…

Paul Pogba’s Manchester United comments have come back to haunt him, making Erik ten Hag look very good. Paul Pogba’s petty comments after leaving Manchester United in the summer are biting back this season, as Erik ten Hag thrives in his absence.

After his departure, he aimed a petty dig at the Red Devils over two contracts he was offered, which were reported to be worth more than £290,000 a week -…

Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe may not be best pleased with Pablo Sarabia’s comments about Paris Saint-Germain. Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe have been thrown under the bus by their former team-mate Pablo Sarabia. The midfielder, now at Wolves, claimed Paris Saint-Germain was a team of individuals. It is a criticism often levelled at PSG. However, it is something rarely said by players who have played as recently for them as Sarabia. The Spaniard spent three-and-a-half years at the Parc des Princes after joining from Sevilla in 2019. He was a regular in his first two seasons but was sent out on loan to…

Pablo Sarabia joined Wolves from Paris Saint-Germain in the January transfer window and has highlighted the influence of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar in Paris Former Paris Saint-Germain playmaker Pablo Sarabia has called the French side a team “of individuals” due to the influence of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

That made the Frenchman the best-paid player in world football (since eclipsed by Cristiano Ronaldo joining Al-Nassr) and came less than a year after the French club rejected a world-record transfer offer from Real Madrid for…
