Cristiano Ronaldo caused quite a stir last night after storming down the tunnel during Manchester United’s match. According to The Athletic, he didn’t just go to the locker room; he chose to leave Old Trafford before the final whistle. In the 89th minute, Ronaldo was seen walking down the tunnel at Old Trafford. The 37-year-old was named on the bench for United’s fixture with Tottenham, a match that they won 2-0 in impressive fashion thanks to goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes. Having watched the bulk of the match from the dugout, Ronaldo decided that he’d had enough after 89 minutes…

‘Right now,’ chairman urges Liverpool owners to sign £40 million Premier League striker Ivan Toney Liverpool owners have been told to ‘write a big cheque’ for Brentford striker Ivan Toney. Toney is off to a great start in the Premier League. He’s hot right now after scoring eight goals and earning a call-up to the England squad. Darragh MacAnthony, chairman of Peterborough United, certainly believes so. MacAnthony urged Liverpool’s owners to sign the 26-year-old on his The Hard Truth podcast. “Ivan is on a different level. Is there a better number nine at Chelsea? Is there a better number nine…
Man United has scored 13 goals in nine Premier League games this season, and Erik ten Hag believes that will change once two players are consistently available. Erik ten Hag believes Manchester United will improve once Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial are both consistently available. Martial started in all five of the first team’s pre-season friendlies but sustained a hamstring injury against Atletico Madrid on July 30 and he has missed nine of United’s 13 fixtures through three separate lay-offs. Ronaldo did not travel on United’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to a personal matter and played 45…

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Jonny Evans and Caglar Soyuncu will not play against Leeds United. Leeds United travels to the King Power Stadium tomorrow after six games without a win, but with plenty to be optimistic about after outplaying Premier League leaders Arsenal the previous time out. However, with Leeds slipping closer to the relegation zone in recent weeks, points on the board are more important than the glamour of great performances right now. Leicester finds themselves in the bottom three as things stand, in need of a win just as much as Leeds heading into…
Riyad Mahrez and Jack Grealish cost Manchester City around £160 million and earn £420k per week in wages, but the pair aren’t exactly delivering on the field. Mahrez and Grealish have combined for just two Premier League goals this season, and reports from Italy (via Sport Witness) suggest City is considering a potential upgrade in Rafael Leao. The 23-year-old has been linked with City in the past and Vital Man City has played down the claims made as Guardiola is overstocked with forwards (Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Julian Alvarez), so a deal looks unlikely. This latest report says that City harbors…
It’s easier said than done to get past Augsburg. Bayern Munich has won the Champions League final more times in the last two years than the DFB Pokal 2nd round. Both Hansi Flick and Julian Nagelsmann failed to advance from this stage of the competition, making Niko Kovac the last coach to win one of these games against VfL Bochum in 2019. This is an absurd statistic for a team of Bayern’s caliber, and it cannot possibly continue for the third year in a row. Well, perhaps not. FC Augsburg has already defeated Nagelsmann’s men this season, and the upcoming…
Tottenham Hotspur is rumored to be interested in Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans and may make a move for him. Tottenham is vying for a deal for Youri Tielemans, according to eminent journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, and may test the waters in January. Tielemans’ availability piqued the interest of several clubs over the summer, but no one came close to signing him. Tottenham is in a strong position in the Premier League table, and they are getting more competent with each passing game. Fabio Paratici and Antonio Conte combined pretty aggressively in the summer as they signed as many as…
Bruno Fernandes’ numbers usually mask his performance level, but he only has one goal and two assists this season. Bruno Fernandes is “playing really well” as Manchester United captain, according to Erik ten Hag. Since Harry Maguire was dropped against Liverpool in the third game of the season, Fernandes has skippered United in all but one game, but he has only scored one goal. In his first 18 months after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, Fernandes was prolific at scoring and creating, and he tallied 10 goals and 14 assists last term but his performance level deteriorated markedly.…
A former Liverpool target should be back on the Jürgen Klopp transfer radar after his club reportedly put him up for sale ahead of the January window. There’s a compelling argument for Liverpool to make a midfield signing in the January transfer window, rather than waiting until the summer. An overhaul is needed in that department next year, but it may be smart to conduct it over two windows rather than one. Liverpool always seems to have around three midfielders unavailable for selection at any given time — Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Naby Keïta, and Arthur all missed the game against Manchester City at the…
