It’s been a great start to the season for far but now begins the gauntlet. For the next two months until the World Cup, Bayern Munich will play two games a week pretty much every week except for the international break. With the transfer window now closed, the squad’s depth and quality will be tested to its very limit, as well as the coach’s ability to harness the same. First up is Union Berlin, perhaps the only team in the Bundesliga with a start rivaling Bayern’s. Here’s how things are shaping up. Team news Not great news. Mathys Tel has a “small”…

Manchester United coach issues very strong warning to Marcus Rashford The Three Lions star has only scored once so far this season, in the surprise 2-1 win over rivals Liverpool at Old Trafford. He has been preferred to Cristiano Ronaldo, who has had to settle with substitute appearances of late. But Sanderson believes the 1-0 win over Leicester on Thursday proved Rashford is not good enough to lead the line. She says it is time Ten Hag brought Ronaldo in from the cold. Sanderson told talkSPORT: “Marcus Rashford, I love him dearly, all Manchester United fans do. But if anyone was…
Liverpool makes the short journey across Stanley Park to face Everton in the Merseyside derby today (12.30 BST). Liverpool did the double over Everton last season and should be favorites to earn all three points against the struggling Toffees today. As far as the team news is concerned, Jordan Henderson is the latest name on the injury list and would be replaced in the starting XI. On transfer deadline day, the Reds moved in to sign Arthur Melo on loan to reinforce the midfield department.

Coman, 23, claims to be “very much the same” as international teammate Mbappe over 15-20 meters. In the early part of 2019/20, he also set a new Bundesliga record with a top speed of 22.16 miles per hour, officially becoming him the quickest player in Germany’s top flight since thorough data collection began in 2011. However, the Frenchman has since been usurped in the league-wide sprint stakes by Borussia Dortmund’s Achraf Hakimi (22.49…
In an extended interview with Sky’s Florian Plettenberg (as filmed by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich sports director Hasan “Brazzo” Salihamidi was asked about Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane. Needless to say, the 45-year-old refused to discuss any internal intentions the club may have for Kane, but Salihamidi revealed that hearing Kane “likes” Bayern Munich makes the club executives pleased: “That makes us happy.” Salihamidi acknowledged that the present group had an abundance of attacking skill, but said it was far too early to speculate on a prospective Kane chase. “It’s too early to talk about that. If you look at our…
Cristiano Ronaldo has thanked Manchester United fans for their support following Erik ten Hag’s side’s third consecutive win, a 1-0 victory over Leicester City. Jadon Sancho scored the game’s sole goal midway through the first half as United won by a single goal at the King Power Stadium. Following a dismal start to the season, United have since won their past three games against Liverpool, Southampton, and Leicester, pushing them up to fifth in the process. It has been a terrific turnaround for the Red Devils, who were heavily criticized at the start of the season for performances in defeats…
100% Physically Fit as Liverpool’s new £40 million signing passes medicals He’s no Jude Bellingham, but Liverpool has bolstered their midfield with the loan acquisition of Arthur Melo on deadline day. The Juventus man will provide Jurgen Klopp with an option in an engine room low on numbers with the Reds’ midfield, as Jordan Henderson, Thiago, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are all on the physio’s table, not even a month into the new season. However, some Liverpool supporters will naturally wonder whether the new recruit is the best solution to an injury crisis when the Brazilian possesses…
