After months of speculation surrounding the striker’s future, an answer should soon be on the way. And it this story looks unlikely to have a happy ending for those Manchester United supporters hoping to see one of the brightest talents in Croatian football bring his eye-catching finishing ability to Old Trafford. The Daily Mail reported back in August that Man United were among a who’s who of European giants courting the baby-faced Dino Klapija. Croatian publication Index, however, believes that there is one club head and shoulders above the rest in a continent-wide scrap, Arsenal perhaps ready to land the knockout blow.…
Arsenal are set to appoint Crystal Palace’s head of sports medicine as their new doctor this summer, replacing Gary O’Driscoll after his move to Manchester United. David Ornstein reports for The Athletic that Arsenal will appoint Crystal Palace head of sports medicine Zafar Iqbal as their new club doctor in the summer, once Iqbal has served his notice period at Palace. Iqbal is viewed as the permanent replacement for Gary O’Driscoll, who joined Manchester United earlier this year to be closer to his family. The Palace man has also previously worked at Leyton Orient, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool, but he’s spent more than…
Erik ten Hag’s side, who currently sit eight in the Premier League, have already lost 13 games this season and face another challenging battle on Boxing Day at home to Aston Villa. On Saturday, however, the Reds slumped to a 2-0 loss at the hands of West Ham. Two second half goals from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus saw David Moyes’ side overtake United in the Premier League table. Chapman covered the game for BBC Radio 5 Live and slammed the United players while discussing the second goal with pundit Mark Warburton and the way they reacted to teenager Kobbie…
Erik ten Hag didn’t get what he wanted for Christmas as his side succumbed to a 2-0 loss against David Moyes’ West Ham side. It was the latest in another poor run of results for Manchester United and the loss while painful – won’t be as concerning as the performance as it was really poor. The attack was once again stone cold and blunt while poor Kobbie Mainoo was left on his own for large periods as Scott McTominay gallivanted forward. After the game, United fans all took to social media to discuss one man – Scott McTominay – and the reactions to his performance said…
Manchester United’s hit-and-miss recruitment has been a primary culprit of the club’s steep decline across all five managers who have failed to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson. And the iconic Scot himself was at the centre of one of the biggest failures of the last decade, which saw Jude Bellingham evade Old Trafford. United were the Premier League’s frontrunners for Bellingham ahead of his Birmingham City exit in 2020, standing alongside Borussia Dortmund as his two most likely destinations. According to The Athletic, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer enlisted Sir Alex to help lure Bellingham to the club during his visit to Carrington…
Manchester United were knocked back down to earth after an embarrassing defeat at the hands of West Ham on Saturday afternoon. Erik ten Hag’s side never got going at the London Stadium as goals from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus secured a thoroughly deserved victory for the home side. Rasmus Hojlund endured another difficult day in front of goal and it is now almost six and a half hours since United last scored a goal against any side. Here are the main talking points from the match Kambwala gives United another option United looked like they had settled upon the perfect…
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk have both taken to social media to praise Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate. Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw at Anfield as they were forced to share the points with Arsenal. The Gunners took an early lead through Gabriel Magalhaes but Mohamed Salah produced an exceptional finish to level things up on the half-hour mark. In truth, both teams struggled to create clear-cut opportunities on the day but Trent Alexander-Arnold did rattle the woodwork in the second half. This was largely down to both sides defending exceptionally well on Saturday evening and Ibrahima Konate was amongst the standout…
ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL // Liverpool and Arsenal couldn’t be separated at Anfield as their titanic Premier League encounter ended in a 1-1 draw. The Anfield crowd responded to Jürgen Klopp’s rallying cry before kick-off, but his players didn’t quite follow the same message. They made the worst possible start as they fell behind in the opening few minutes, with Gabriel heading home from a free-kick. The Reds though began to play their way into the game, with Mohamed Salah looking dangerous up against Oleksandr Zinchenko. It was no surprise then to see the Egyptian blast Liverpool level from an exquisite Trent Alexander-Arnold pass.…
Carragher believes Arsenal are better placed to win the Premier League title over Klopp’s Liverpool due to their defence and the Gunners’ performances against the top teams. Arsenal took the lead in a fast start at Anfield on Saturday Night Football through Gabriel’s header but a goal from Salah before half-time pulled them back. This month, Mikel Arteta’s side have lost to Aston Villa and drawn with Liverpool – but Carragher says Arsenal were unlucky not to win those games which bodes well for their title charge. “I think I would favour Arsenal over Liverpool,” said Carragher when asked about…
Liverpool had 13 shots at Anfield but only scored through Mohamed Salah’s first half strike, leaving Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez in poor goalscoring form. Gakpo failed to get a shot off against the Gunners despite starting as Jurgen Klopp’s No 9, with Diaz on a run of one goal in 15 Premier League games and Nunez goalless in 12 straight games. That just leaves Salah to carry the attacking load for Liverpool, but he departs for the Africa Cup of Nations in early January and could miss a month of action. “Looking at Liverpool’s front three, there’s…
