Ruben Amorim has openly suggested that Manchester United’s current squad could be the weakest in the club’s illustrious 147-year history. The manager voiced his frustrations after a disappointing 3-1 home defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, marking United’s sixth home loss of the season. The defeat came just days after Amad Diallo’s late hat-trick against Southampton narrowly spared the club further embarrassment.

Speaking to the media post-match, Amorim didn’t hold back:“In ten Premier League games, we’ve won two.…
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has strongly condemned the racist chanting aimed at Alejandro Balde by Getafe supporters, describing it as “unbelievable” and “completely wrong.” The young left-back endured racist abuse during the first half of Barcelona’s 1-1 draw in Madrid, prompting him to inform the referee about the incident. Speaking to reporters after the match, Balde shared his thoughts:”Today I received racist insults. I don’t think this should keep happening. It happened in the first half, and I informed the referee. He activated the protocol, and there were no further incidents in the second half.” Addressing the media after the…

Manchester United suffered another home defeat on Sunday as Brighton & Hove Albion triumphed 3-1 at Old Trafford.

Mitoma squared the ball to Yankuba Minteh, who had an easy tap-in to give Brighton the early advantage. Bruno Fernandes equalized from the penalty spot midway through the first half, but Brighton regained the lead just after the hour mark when Mitoma tapped home at the back post. The match was sealed midway through the second half, as another costly mistake…
Real Madrid responded emphatically after conceding a goal just 26 seconds into the match, securing a 4-1 victory over Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabeu. Fabio Silva’s early strike put Madrid on the back foot, and with mounting pressure on coach Carlo Ancelotti from the Spanish media, the last thing he needed was an early setback. However, his team quickly regained control, dominating the match and ensuring they took full advantage of slip-ups from Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Kylian Mbappe equalized from the penalty spot after Rodrygo was fouled, and the French forward played a key role in turning the…
Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has opened up about why he is currently without a club after terminating his contract with Avezzano. The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner has been somewhat of a journeyman since leaving Trabzonspor in 2019, having played for eight different clubs in the last five years. His most recent stint was with Avezzano in Italy’s Serie D, but after less than a year, he decided to end his contract and is now a free agent. In an interview with Turkish publication Fanatik, Onazi revealed the circumstances behind his departure. He explained that the club’s…
Chelsea are not willing to allow Joao Felix to leave on loan this January, despite interest from AC Milan. Felix, who rejoined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid for £45m last summer, had spent a six-month loan spell at Stamford Bridge in 2023. However, the versatile forward has struggled to secure regular playing time under manager Enzo Maresca, currently behind Cole Palmer in the number ten role. The Portuguese international has scored six goals in cup competitions this season but has made just three Premier League starts. His limited game time has drawn attention from top European clubs, including AC Milan, who…
Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye is being investigated in Italy over allegations of involvement in a betting scandal during Udinese’s Serie A match against Lazio on March 11, 2024. The probe, led by the Udine prosecutor’s office, was triggered by an unusual betting pattern flagged by the betting company Snai. Reports from Italian newspaper Messaggero Veneto indicate an abnormally high number of bets were placed on Okoye receiving a yellow card during the match. In that game, Okoye was booked for time-wasting in the 64th minute—just 19 minutes into the second half—raising suspicions about the timing and circumstances. Udinese went…

Prior to this, Saliba’s only missed game of the season came due to a one-match suspension following a red card in the 2-0 loss to Bournemouth in October. He had been widely expected to start alongside Gabriel for the Villa fixture, but his omission from the lineup caught many by surprise. Manager Mikel Arteta shed some light on the situation: “He felt something before the match, something muscular. I don’t think it’s too serious,…
