David De Gea on top, Man Utd and Man City lead the pack in highest-paid Premier League stars
With massive foreign investment, bumper broadcast contracts and major sponsorship deals, the Premier League is undoubtedly a big money spinner. England’s top flight is awash with cash and its biggest stars are able to earn amounts of money that the majority of the population can only dream about. For any footballer aiming to boost their earnings, securing a move to one of the Manchester clubs is a great way to achieve that goal. United goalkeeper David de Gea is testament to that fact, with his £375,000 per week salary putting him at the top of the Premier League earnings list. That figure puts him way in front of the next two players in the standings, both of whom currently ply their trade with local rivals City. Kevin De Bruyne’s £320,833 per week salary puts him second on the list, whil...
Mourinho mentions the two Spurs stars he badly needed for the last 15 mins last night
Tottenham Hotspur were held to a 1-1 draw at home yesterday by Manchester United after Bruno Fernandes’ 81st-minute penalty struck out Steven Bergwijn’s 27th-minute opener. It dealt a blow on Spurs’ top-four chances and they could find themselves outside the top-10 at the end of matchday 30. The Red Devils were the better team last night, registering more possession (61%), shots (12) and shots on target (6) than the host, and they could have left with all three points if VAR hadn’t overruled the second penalty Jon Moss awarded them. Spurs had just three shots on target out of 10 attempts, and boss Jose Mourinho was left ruing his side’s lack of attacking options on the bench. While his United counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brought on strikers Mason Greenwood and Odion Ighalo in the ...
Report: Everton join the race for 21-yr-old Man Utd target who is available on a bargain
Everton have joined the race for the Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu. The player has one year left on his current deal and he could be sold this summer. The 21-year-old also has a £10m release clause. As per Mirror, Manchester United and Southampton are keen on the player as well. Salisu is a talented player and he has clubs from Spain and Italy looking at him. It will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer. He has had interest from France as well but the defender has turned those down as he is waiting for a move to the Premier League. Carlo Ancelotti needs to improve his defensive options this summer and Salisu could prove to be a good addition. The likes Keane and Mina have been unreliable this season and Salisu’s arrival would provide extra competition for them. It could help...
‘Do your homework’ – Spurs legend lays into Keane & Evra following ‘lazy punditry’
Manchester United legends Roy Keane and Patrice Evra were on Sky Sports last night as pundits for the Red Devils clash with Tottenham Hotspur. Jose Mourinho’s side were held to a 1-1 draw as Bruno Fernandes’ 81st-minute penalty struck out Steven Bergwijn’s 27th-minute opener, and the duo weren’t impressed with Spurs backline. They claim that the North London giants have had a soft defensive DNA for years and their comments didn’t go down well with former Tottenham centre-back Graham Roberts. He took to Twitter to lay into both Keane and Evra: “Roy Keane and Evra talking about how Spurs have had a soft DNA at the back for years. Such lazy punditry from the pair. We had the 2 best defensive records in 3 out of 5 Poch years. You get paid enough. Do your homework gents.” Roy keane and Evr...
Peter Schmeichel labels Odion Ighalo a positive surpise at Manchester United
Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel says Odion Ighalo has been a revelation at the club and one of the most positive surprises ever. The Nigeria forward joined the Red Devils on loan from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua in January and has performed admirably for the Premier League side. The 31-year-old has scored four goals in nine appearances for the club. The former Watford striker will stay with United until January 2021 after his loan deal was extended last May. “I think he (Ighalo) has been one of the most positive surprises ever,” Schmeichel said. “He has been a revelation at the club and everybody has come to like him.” Ighalo was in action for United in Friday’s 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur. He replaced Anthony Martial in the 78th minute of the encounter. Get...
Report: Rangers make enquiry for defender, PL duo keeping tabs on the player as well
Rangers are keen on signing the Leicester City defender Dennis Gyamfi. According to Football Insider, the Scottish giants have already made an enquiry for the player who will be a free agent at the end of this month. Gyamfi is highly rated at Leicester City and the Foxes could try to extend his deal. The defender has recently been promoted to first-team training. It will be interesting to see if Rangers can snap him up on a bargain this summer. Gyamfi is highly talented and it would be a superb long term investment for the Ibrox outfit. Furthermore, they are not the only ones after the youngster. Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked with the player as well. Rangers need to wrap up the transfer soon. If the Premier League giants get involved, they will struggle to bring the player...
‘Good news’ – Some Spurs fans left excited as Mourinho shares plan for United clash
Premier League action returns to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this evening after more than 100 days of enforced break as Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United in what is expected to be a feisty clash. Spurs boss Jose Mourinho will be coming up against his former side as both of them look to secure a win in order to boost their chances of playing Champions League football next season, and the Portuguese has been handed massive injury boost thanks to the lockdown. The Tottenham squad was ravaged with injuries prior to the break, but the players are all raring to go right now, and Mourinho has confirmed that he will be starting the trio of Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Moussa Sissoko against the Red Devils.

Shocking statistics reveal Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba’s importance
Hearing the cliche of a player returning from a long-term injury feeling like a new signing will ring true for Manchester United fans but not with just one player. Both Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are now fit and ready for action having missed a sizeable chunk of the season. It’s safe to say the dynamic duo are returning at the perfect time for United, with many hoping they can lead the team to a top-four spot in the campaign’s run-in. Rashford has been talismanic for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Pogba has always helped the team play better than they normally do. The statistics speak for themselves for the productive pair and the Red Devils look stronger and stronger by the day for it. Having both goal-contributors return for Manchester United at an incredibly crucial time can only be a goo...
Rio Ferdinand sends message to Harry Kane ahead of Friday’s game
Tottenham Hotspur host Manchester United on Friday as English Premier League finally resumes action, and the game could have a huge say on both sides’ chances of playing in the Champions League next term. Only four points stand between Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men – fifth in the table – and Jose Mourinho’s side – eighth in the table – and a tough encounter should be expected. Spurs striker Harry Kane can’t wait to return to action for the first time since January, and the England international is raring to go. He uploaded a clip of himself on Twitter which showed his journey through his injury from the Southampton game in January, and Red Devils legend Rio Ferdinand has sent this message to him: Good Luck for the rest of the season… no goals Friday pls! Nice One 👊🏽😂 —...
Duncan Castles: Man Utd ‘offered a transfer fee of €100m’ for Newcastle target last week
Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati is one of the sought-after young talents in world football. The 17-year-old has been in outstanding form for the club’s under-19 side. He had scored 19 goals in 30 starts, including four from six in Barca’s run to the semi-finals in the Uefa Youth League. At 16 years of age he made his first-team debut, and in the process became the youngest footballer in almost eight decades to play a Liga game for Barcelona. The player has a contract at the club till 2022. He doesn’t want to leave the club, but his parents are unhappy with the club’s plan for the coming season. He has clearly outgrown academy football, but Barcelona probably do not want to integrate him into the first-team squad as yet. When he scored the headed goal at Osasuna it made him the...
Gary Lineker reacts on Twitter to Marcus Rashford’s open letter to the MPs in Parliament
Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has penned a very emotional letter to the MPs in Parliament where he has urged the government of the United Kingdom to reverse their decision to stop free meals service to vulnerable children during the school holidays. The England international has made a genuine plea through his letter urging the government to make sure the underprivileged children in the UK are not suffering from hunger due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 22-year-old striker has done tremendous work in helping charity FareShare reach its goal of supplying three million meals to vulnerable people in the UK by the end of June. The United striker has been able to raise over £20 million so far. However, the UK government has decided to stop a food voucher scheme that...
Report: Mourinho’s tactical plan could see 27-yr-old Spurs ace benched against Man Utd
Tottenham winger Lucas Moura could be dropped against Manchester United. According to Football Insider, Jose Mourinho could use a 4-3-3 system against his old club and it will be difficult to accommodate the Brazilian in the starting lineup. Kane, Son and Bergwijn could start ahead of Moura when the Londoners take on Manchester United. It will be interesting to see what happens when the two teams meet. Even if Moura doesn’t get to start against the Red Devils, he is still a very good player who will make an impact when he comes on. Apparently, Mourinho is looking to use three midfielders to control the play. It would make sense given the fact that United have a strong midfield. The likes of Pogba, Fred and Bruno Fernandes are all top-class players and Spurs will need bodies in the midfield...
