Jurgen Klopp has warned his Liverpool team not to take Thursday night’s opponents Toulouse lightly. The Reds host the French side at Anfield in the Europa League and a shock win would send the visitors top of Group E. Despite looking to challenge for the Premier League title this season, Klopp has confirmed his desire to take the competition seriously. That has so far proven to be the case, albeit the group stage perhaps affords more chance to rotate. Klopp’s hopes of securing safe passage into the knockout rounds have been given a boost with Cody Gakpo’s return to training. The Dutchman suffered a…
Jurgen Klopp watched over four potential left-back options as Liverpool put the finishing touches on their preparations for Toulouse’s visit, but Ben Doak was not among the squad. The Reds will have Cody Gakpo back in their midst when the third Europa League group game gets underway, with the Dutchman having returned to full training on Sunday. The forward was one of 21 outfielders to train at Kirkby on Wednesday afternoon, not long after Klopp confirmed the No. 18 is “available for the squad.” We will still have to wait and see if he will start, though. Klopp did hint he would be…
Andre Onana feels Manchester United can take strength from the way in which we overcame FC Copenhagen at Old Trafford on Tuesday. The Reds claimed a first victory in this season’s UEFA Champions League, courtesy of Harry Maguire’s second-half goal, but the points were only secured by Onana’s superb penalty save from Jordan Larsson in injury time. Erik ten Hag’s side were much improved in the second half and deserved what was a third win in a row in all competitions, a run that gives Onana confidence ahead of the coming games, starting with Sunday’s Manchester derby against City. “It…
The Red Devils largely struggled to create chances against a stout Kobenhavn defence at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening until Eriksen’s half-time introduction. After bringing on the Danish midfielder, Man Utd’s offensive performance notably improved – having double the amount of efforts on goal in the second half. Ultimately, Eriksen would assist the only goal of the game, whipping a deep cross into the box which was met by Maguire at the back post in the 71st minute. Speaking to the press after the win, Ten Hag was keen to stress the impact Eriksen had on his team’s attacking performance…
Christian Eriksen was a key player in the second half of Manchester United‘s 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, helping guide them to their first win in the competition this campaign. It was the Danish midfielder who played a fantastic ball into Harry Maguire who headed past Kamil Grabara to hand Old Trafford a much-needed win, with Andrè Onana also deserving plaudits for a brilliant penalty save in what was quite literally the dying moments to keep the victory. Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes that although Eriksen had a major impact on Tuesday’s result, he is not playing…
According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United will face competition from Saudi Pro League clubs and Chelsea in the race to sign talented 19-year-old Benfica midfielder Joao Neves in the coming months. Joao Neves has established himself as a key player for Benfica, and he could prove to be a solid, long-term acquisition for Manchester United. The Red Devils need to add more quality and control in the middle of the park, and the 19-year-old seems like the ideal acquisition for them. They have been linked with a number of central midfielders in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if they…
Several Manchester United players are reportedly unhappy with what is being perceived as ‘favouritism’ from Erik Ten Hag. That’s according to TeamTALK journalist Fraser Fletcher, who claims ‘a number of players’ are ‘upset’ with the manager’s decision to keep on starting players who have been playing far from their best. The player highlighted in Manchester Evening News’ Samuel Luckhurst’s tweet, which Fletcher used as a way to provide his own insight, was winger Antony. The Brazilian was signed from Ajax nearly 18 months ago in a deal worth a whopping £86 million (Sky Sports), and despite arriving at Old Trafford…
The striker could have ended up at Old Trafford during his career, at least according to the man himself, who has admitted he was stupid to turn down the approach. Pančev has today been speaking to Sport Buzzer about his career and his former clubs, when he brought up the subject of Manchester United. For those that don’t know, Pančev is considered one of the greatest players in Macedonian football after a career that saw him played for the likes of Vardar, Red Star, Inter Milan, VfB Leipzig, Fortuna Düsseldorf and FC Sion. A European Cup winner, UEFA Cup winner and Ballon…
He’s the man who has become almost forgotten in the story of Liverpool’s transformation under Fenway Sports Group. But his influence continues to felt long after his abrupt and unexpected departure. Damien Comolli returns to Anfield on Thursday evening as French Ligue Un outfit Toulouse, of whom he is president, take on Jurgen Klopp’s side in a clash between the two leading teams in Europa League Group E. Comolli was one of the first major appointments by FSG – then known as New England Sports Ventures – when arriving as director of football strategy less than a month after the…
Manchester United are expected to push to sign a centre-back in 2024 and one player is very keen to join, it has been claimed.

Fabrizio Romano has told The United Stand that Manchester United will push to sign a new centre-back in 2024, either in January or next summer. The transfer insider has added that Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo, one of the key targets, is keen on a move. Jean-Clair Todibo was linked to Manchester United in the summer, via L’Equipe,…
