Mourinho knows how to handle Zlatan- Crespo
Former Inter and Chelsea man Hernan Crespo believe Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jose Mourinho will help bring the Red Devils back to the top. Crespo played with Zlatan at Milan and was managed by Mourinho, and insists the Portuguese boss knows how to handle the Swede. “With both Jose and Ibra you only needed a second to understand them.

Moyes keen to sign Fellaini and Januzaj
Adnan Januzaj could be handed a Premier League lifeline by David Moyes at Sunderland, with Marouane Fellaini also a target. David Moyes has confirmed his interest in staging a reunion with Manchester United duo Adnan Januzaj and Marouane Fellaini at Sunderland. Januzaj was handed his United debut by Moyes in 2013, but fell out of favour under Louis van Gaal and had a disappointing loan move to Borussia Dortmund cut short last term. Fellaini is also very familiar with the new Sunderland boss, who signed the towering Belgian for Everton and again during his time at Old Trafford. Having replaced England manager Sam Allardyce at the Stadium of Light just 21 days before Sunderland's Premier League opener against Manchester City, Moyes is aware of the need … [Read more...]
Wenger: Pogba fee is ‘complete madness’
Arsene Wenger believes Paul Pogba’s proposed £100million move to Manchester United represents the “complete madness” of the modern transfer market. France midfielder Paul Pogba is reportedly set to join United for a nine-figure sum and Arsenal manager Wenger, who is currently in Los Angeles with the Gunners ahead of a pre-season friendly meeting with Chivas, suggested he would not pay over the odds for any player. Quoted in Tuttosport, he said: “It’s complete madness when measured against real life, but we live in a world in which everything that happens is geared towards moving money around. “It’s complete madness – but it seems that if you can afford to do it, you can justify it. Football has become a global competition and that is why clubs are chucking … [Read more...]
Willian flattered by Mourinho interest but had no intentions joining former boss
Willian has insisted he was never interested in joining Jose Mourinho at Manchester United but admits Chelsea must improve if they're to challenge them for the title.

But Willian opted to commit his long-term future to Chelsea instead, signing a new four-year deal. "I have a great relationship with Jose, but I am Chelsea,” said Willian, when asked if the prospect of joining Mourinho, who signed him as Chelsea boss in 2013, ever tempted him.

Ranieri: Arsenal link is ‘distracting’ Mahrez
Rihad Mahrez constant rumors linking him away from Leicester City to Arsenal is affecting the star winger manager Claudio Ranieri revealed.

Ranieri has been adamant that Mahrez will not follow in the footsteps of N’Golo and seal a big-money transfer to a Premier League rival, but admits the speculation could be having an impact on his approach to the game. “Maybe Riyad is distracted a bit by all of these rumors and speculation,” Ranieri said at a news conference following the 4-0 defeat to PSG . “But that is also an … [Read more...]
Rob Holding shines as Arsenal put three pass Chivas Guadalajara
Rob Holding, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chuba Akpom were all on target for Arsenal at the Stubhub Centre. Arsenal showed their quality in patches during a 3-1 win over Guadalajara in Sunday's pre-season friendly in Carson, California. After leaving it late against the MLS All-Stars on Wednesday, Arsenal continued their winning tour of the United States as big-money recruit Granit Xhaka made his first start for the Premier League giants. But it was new defender Rob Holding who grabbed the early headlines, the unlikely source of Arsenal's opening goal just past the half-hour mark at Stubhub Centre, after combining with centre-back partner Calum Chambers.
