Erik ten Hag says Manchester United are in control when it comes to Marcus Rashford s future, adding that the forward is happier with his place at the club.
The England international was linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain over the off-season following a difficult 2021-22 campaign, where he scored just five times in 32 games across all competitions.
But with three goals and two assists in the first six games of the new Premier League season, the 24-year-old looks to have rediscovered both the best of his abilities and his satisfaction with life at Old Trafford.
Rashford s United contract expires at the end of the current campaign, but with United set to start their Europa League campaign against Real Sociedad this week, manager Ten Hag says the club have hi…
Milan s Alessandro Florenzi has undergone surgery on his left hamstring, with the Italy full-back expected to miss the next five months of the season.
The defender, a key member of the club s Serie A title-winning squad last term while on loan from Roma and a Euro 2020 champion with the Azzurri, suffered the injury during their 0-0 draw with Sassuolo last month.
Now, he has undergone an operation in Finland that will keep him out at the very least until the start of the new year, in a major blow to Stefano Pioli s side.
Milan can confirm Alessandro Florenzi suffered a severe injury to the biceps femoris of his left hamstring, which required surgery, read a club statement.
The surgery was successful and Alessandro will return to Italy tomorrow to begi…
Jurgen Klopp has described Sadio Mane as world-class and suggested that having time to rest after last season has played a key role in his recent form.
The Liverpool forward is joint-second in the Premier League scoring charts along with Leicester City s Jamie Vardy on seven goals, only team-mate Mohammed Salah has more (11).
After four fantastic seasons at Anfield, Mane was not at his peak in 2020-21. Though he still finished on 16 goals in all competitions, that tally was his lowest since his first campaign with Liverpool (13 in 2016-17).
However, Mane now seems back to his brilliant best and, ahead of facing the Senegal forward s former club Southampton, Klopp predicted another excellent campaign for the 29-year-old as long as he can stay clear of injuries.…
Liverpool 2-0 Everton: Talking points as Reds complete double over city rivals to stay in title race
Second-half goals from Andy Robertson and Divock Origi brought victory for the Reds in the Merseyside Derby played at Anfield on Sunday, with Liverpool thus completing a league double over Everton for the season. It wasn t exactly an easy match for Jurgen Klopp s team it never is but their superior quality found a way to shine through in the end.
Nasty display from Everton
Obviously aware that they were no match for their title-chasing neighbours from across Stanley Park, Everton did their best to disrupt the game and stop genuine football from being played in any way they could. It meant a combination of time wasting, diving, starting scuffles and making studs-first tackles when nothing else served.
Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, an unpopular enough figure at Anfield as …
Alex Ferguson praised Bayern Munich s footballing structure as the former Manchester United manager lauded the club s links to their past.
While United have struggled since Ferguson departed in 2013 – failing to win the Premier League – Bayern continue to dominate the Bundesliga with seven successive titles.
United finished sixth in 2018-19 as they missed out on Champions League qualification, while the Red Devils are still searching for a director of football to assist manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
And Ferguson hailed Bayern s hierarchy, which is led by president Uli Hoeness and chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
They re a great club. It s a club run in the proper foundation of it, Ferguson told MUTV prior to Sunday s Treble Reunion game, which United …
According to Sky Sports, Manchester United are said to be very confident that David De Gea will sign a new long-term contract with the club. This comes in the wake of Thibaut Courtois completing his move from Chelsea to Real Madrid, the same club that was linked with a move for De Gea over the course of the last few years.
The Spaniard s departure from Old Trafford is something that s been anticipated for quite some time, but now, it seems as if he ll be staying with United for many years to come. De Gea has been with the Red Devils since he signed back in 2011 and in that time, he s grown into one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
His current deal is set to expire in 2019, with another year being available if triggered by the club, but we can likely expect some new…
Manchester City are not about to get sidetracked by quadruple talk, says Ilkay Gundogan.
City take on Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League last 16 on Wednesday, buoyed by an unbeaten run of 25 matches across all competitions.
The upshot is a 10-point lead at the top of the Premier League, along with progress to the final and quarter-finals respectively of the EFL Cup and FA Cup.
Pep Guardiola s side won an unprecedented domestic treble in England in 2018-19, although their Champions League exit at the hands of Tottenham was the second of three consecutive failures at the quarter-final stage.
Guardiola s mantra through the ongoing run has been one of game by game and Gundogan echoed his boss when the Q-word reared its head at a Tuesda…
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expects Thomas Muller to stay at Bayern Munich beyond January despite his frustration with a lack of playing time.
Attacking midfielder Muller, 30, expressed dissatisfaction with his marginalised role in an interview earlier this month, telling Kicker he was too ambitious to settle for a place among the substitutes.
The 2014 World Cup winner started none of the club s final five games leading into the international break.
Reports have suggested Muller will ask for a move when the window reopens but Bayern CEO Rummenigge would be surprised to receive a transfer request.
I cannot imagine that, Rummenigge told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
The relationship between Thomas and Bayern is totally intact and he will remain an …
Wayne Rooney described himself as angry after watching his Plymouth Argyle side begin their Championship campaign with a meek 4-0 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.
Rooney s first competitive game at the helm was one to forget as Wednesday ran riot at Hillsborough, with Jamal Lowe, Josh Windass and Michael Smith among the scorers.
The Manchester United and England great has now recorded just two wins in his last 16 Championship games in charge of Birmingham City and Plymouth, drawing four and losing 10.
Speaking to Sky Sports in the aftermath of Sunday s defeat, he hit out at his players for failing to do the basics against a well-drilled Wednesday side.
The scoreline was deserved. We conceded four goals from four crosses. The basics of the game were not th…
Former Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has described Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha as a man of gold following his death in a helicopter crash.
The Leicester owner and chairman was confirmed as one of five people to have died on Saturday when the aircraft came down just hours after the Premier League draw with West Ham at the King Power Stadium.
Tributes have been sent in from across the football world, while hundreds of mourners have laid flowers outside the ground in the last 48 hours.
Srivaddhanaprabha s family laid a wreath on the pitch on Monday as the Leicester players and management gathered around the centre circle.
Ranieri, who guided Leicester to their famous Premier League title win of 2015-16, had nothing but fond memories of his former chair…
