Aston Villa produced arguably one of their best away performances under Dean Smith as they won 3-0 against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. While Ollie Watkins grabbed the headlines with a brace, it was Jack Grealish who once again was simply outstanding for the Villans. The Villa captain was superb last season, and he is brimming with confidence following his inclusion in the England national team set up. He has four goals and five assists in seven Premier League appearances this season, and his virtuoso display against the Gunners once again brings back the question why Manchester United didn’t sign him this summer. Grealish was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford this summer, and there were contacts made if the reports are to be believed. United made Jadon San...
RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly on Manchester United’s list of potential replacements for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, amid the mounting pressure regarding the Norwegian’s future at Old Trafford. The current United boss has overseen a shaky start to the new season for United, with his side currently 15th in the table having won just two of their opening six Premier League fixtures. The Red Devils had appeared to have turned things around after the international break, with a thumping win over Newcastle United, as well as impressive Champions League victories over Paris Saint-Germain and Leipzig quietening the doubters somewhat. That all changed over the past week, however, with United putting in another drab performance at home in the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend, before t...

After a rocky start to the season, and following an insipid display in the Champions League defeat against Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir, the patience is running out on Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

According to Calciomercato.it, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are both keeping tabs on Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic and were keen on him during the summer transfer window. The Premier League duo want to strengthen at the back and have been impressed with the performances of the Serbian international in the Serie A.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seemed disappointed with his team’s performance against Arsenal on Sunday. Speaking to the media during the post-match presser, the former Manchester United striker also reflected on his team’s home form this season. Solskjaer believes that the home form is irrelevant this season due to the absence of supporters in the stadiums but he did admit that the poor showing at Old Trafford has not escaped his attention. The Red Devils have lost 3 and drawn 1 of their four home league games so far. Solskjaer added that Manchester United needed ten games to pick up three wins in the league last season and the team needs to focus on the Everton game now. He said to the club’s official website: “Home and away form is out of the window really with no ...
Former Manchester United skipper turned popular football pundit Roy Keane has showered praise on Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey following his impressive performance against Manchester United on Sunday. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a second-half penalty to give the Gunners their first Premier League away win over Manchester United in 14 years. Although it was a lacklustre encounter from both sides, the Sky Sports pundit panel were impressed with the performance of Partey, who played a huge role in Arsenal’s pressing game at Old Trafford. What Roy Keane said on Sky Sports: “He was outstanding. He’s obviously no mug having played in big games. When you watch a player live that’s when you can judge a player and the more I look at him the more I wish he was in the United midfield. H...
Kylian Mbappe scored from the penalty spot as Paris Saint-Germain eased to their seventh straight Ligue 1 win on Saturday, beating Nantes 3-0 away to move provisionally three points clear at the top of the table. All the goals came in the second half at the Stade de la Beaujoire, with Ander Herrera opening the scoring two minutes after the restart and Mbappe converting a 65th-minute spot-kick before Pablo Sarabia secured the points late on.
