Former-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is the favourite to be the next in the Manchester United dugout
According to reports from , Manchester United are holding talks to bring former-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho to Old Trafford.
That news will not come as a major surprise considering United’s struggles under Louis van Gaal this season.
United need a counter-attack
The appointment of Mourinho as United boss would probably be the best way to counteract Manchester City’s capture of former-Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola.
Mourinho is the only boss currently active within top-level football who can even compare with Pep when it comes to trophies and silverware.
Pep Guardiola is the best manager in the world and has proven his managerial ability in b…
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri says his side will have to be at their best if they are to beat Arsenal in the Champions League.
After finishing second in Group H to Barcelona, the Rossoneri were, as an unseeded team in Friday’s draw in Nyon, always in danger of being given a tough assignment in the last 16.
Allegri has since conceded that the Serie A holders face a difficult task when they meet Arsenal in February, insisting that Arsene Wenger s side have the quality to go far in the competition.
Arsenal are difficult opponents, a team that has everything to go all the way in the Champions League, the Milan boss told Premium Calcio.
In February we will have to be ready, Arsenal is a team at our level.
Milan s organising director Umber…
Spain international winger Vitolo has agreed a one-year contract extension at Sevilla, keeping him at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan until 2020.
After a close-season marred by the high-profile departures of Grzegorz Krychowiak, Ever Banega, Kevin Gameiro and coach Unai Emery, the club moved to secure the future of Vitolo and the attacker ended speculation by agreeing the new deal.
Vitolo joined Sevilla in 2013 after impressing in the second tier for Las Palmas and he quickly established himself as a key part of Emery s team down to his work ethic and ability on the ball.
Atletico Madrid had been linked with a move for the 26-year-old, but the winger who was crucial to all three of Sevilla s Europa League triumphs looks set to remain as the Jorge Sampaoli era begins.<…
Exactly 1616 days after his last game for Manchester United, Paul Pogba made his second debut for the Old Trafford side following his €105 million move from Juventus as Jose Mourinho s men beat Southampton 2-0 in their second Premier League game of 2016-17.
Mourinho suggested ahead of the game that the 23-year-old was unlikely to feature for the full 90 minutes, but the France international nonetheless remained on the pitch right until the final whistle as he impressed in midfield.
It was Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was the centre of attention after the final whistle following his decisive double, but Pogba had every reason to be satisfied with his homecoming.
The midfielder received a warm welcome on his comeback, but his nerves still got the best of him early on a…
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has nominated Pep Guardiola as his manager of the year, but believes Rafael Benitez, Chris Hughton and David Wagner would all be worthy winners of the Premier League accolade.
Guardiola s Manchester City have won the league title in swashbuckling style, drawing Klopp s praise, yet the Reds manager also wants to acknowledge the work of three relegation-battling coaches.
Former Liverpool boss Benitez at Newcastle United, Brighton and Hove Albion s Hughton and Huddersfield Town s Wagner have all successfully kept their sides in the top flight this term, the first time a trio of promoted teams have secured their status since 2012.
Pep Guardiola [at Manchester City], obviously, was impressive for the season, for the kind of football, but I…
Thomas Tuchel joked Todd Boehly can watch Chelsea games from home in Los Angeles next season after the Blues once again failed to win in front of their incoming new owner.
Boehly was present at Stamford Bridge on Thursday for the Blues disappointing 1-1 draw with Leicester City in their penultimate Premier League game of a mixed campaign.
The American billionaire, alongside Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjorg Wyss, is reportedly close to finalising a £4.25billion takeover from Roman Abramovich.
But he has yet to see the Blues win up close, having also been in attendance for defeats to Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool, as well as draws with Wolves and now Leicester.
While Chelsea have struggled to perform in front of Boehly so far, Tuchel hopes …

Edinson Cavani has signed a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain, extending his current deal by a further two seasons to commit to the Ligue 1 champions until 2020.
Cavani who has been linked with moves to Manchester United and Arsenal has thrived following the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, becoming the first player in Europe s top five leagues to reach 30 league goals this season.
He was on target with his 31st Ligue 1 goal of the campaign as PSG beat Montpellier 2-0 on Saturday to put pressure on Monaco at the top of the table.
The Uruguay international has hit 125 goals in 192 matches since joining PSG in July 2013 from Napoli and is closing in on Ibrahimovic s club record of 156 goals.
Paris Saint-Germain are delighted to announce that has signed a…
Ousmane Dembele s double helped move Paris Saint-Germain back to the top of Ligue 1 with a 3-1 home win over Brest.
Fabian Ruiz s brilliant strike was sandwiched between those two goals as the French champions remained perfect, leapfrogging back above Marseille and Monaco after their wins earlier on Saturday.
Romain Del Castillo had put Brest in front with a penalty just before the half-hour mark after a foul by Nuno Mendes on Ludovic Ajorque.
PSG then equalised in the 42nd minute with a header from the unmarked Dembele off Marco Asensio s pinpoint cross.
Brest offered little in the second half despite PSG taking their foot off the gas, but Fabian put the hosts in front in the 73rd minute with a superb long-range effort.
Just 80 seconds later, Dem…
Kyle Larson won a second overtime shootout under caution in Sunday's 28th Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the NASCAR Cup Series' return to the legendary oval in Speedway, Ind. As the first Cup race on the IMS oval since July 5, 2020, neared its finish, sixth-place Kyle Busch wrecked with three laps left to create the shootout scenario with leader Brad Keselowski. However, Keselowski pulled off before the green flag due to a lack of fuel, and a big melee soon occurred just outside the top 10. In the second two-lap shootout after a red-flag period, leader Larson pulled his No. 5 away from Ryan Blaney, who slowed dramatically. Larson beat polesitter Tyler Reddick before the 10th caution came out for Ryan Preece's spin to freeze the field and end the race. L…
