Manchester United will approach Saturday’s home English Premier League (EPL) clash with Chelsea in buoyant mood rather than in trepidation. This is after a week which has gone some way to banishing the gloom that was descending on Old Trafford. After going into this month’s international break with a 6-1 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur, they have emerged from it with a couple of victories which have kick-started their campaign. Last weekend’s 4-1 win at Newcastle United was followed by a 2-1 victory away to Paris St-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Champions League. For now at least, the critics have been silenced. Chelsea’s visit, however, presents a test of Manchester United’s upswing as they seek their first home league points of the season. This is in the wake of defeats by Crystal Palce and...

There is still work to do but I’m really happy and it’s an exciting time to be an Arsenal player,” Aubameyang told BT Sport after the match.

Earlier this month, Goal.com reported that Aston Villa and Newcastle have shown keen interest in signing the highly-rated 20-year-old striker.

Jürgen Klopp admitted he was “very, very happy” with his Liverpool side as they beat Stuttgart 3-0 in their first pre-season friendly of the summer. Goals from Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita and Rhian Brewster gave the Reds a win, but it was the weather that was the most difficult opponent at times – a huge downpour turning the pitch into a quagmire. But Klopp was delighted with how his side performed and will now face Red Bull Salzburg in four days time. “I’m very happy, very happy,” he told the club’s official website. “It was a super intense session for us today because the weather, wow, it rained like crazy, the pitch was really difficult – you could see the water was still on the pitch. That makes football games always tricky. “Good organised opponent obviously but we scored nice goals a...
Tottenham are plotting a surprise loan move for the Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster this summer. The 20 year old was on loan at Swansea City last season and he managed to score 11 goals for them. It is no surprise that Tottenham are looking to bring in a backup option to Harry Kane. However, their interest (via Football Insider) in Brewster is a bit of a surprise. The Liverpool youngster needs to join a club where he can play week in week out and a backup role at Tottenham is not ideal for him at all. Furthermore, if he was satisfied with the backup role he could get that at Liverpool. A move to Tottenham does not make sense at all. It will be interesting to see where Brewster ends up this summer. He is highly rated at Liverpool and regular football will be the key to his development next...
