Manchester United are in a desperate need of a quick return to winning ways following the midweek Wembley disappointment and Jose Mourinho’s charges get back into Premier League action with a point to prove against out-of-form Huddersfield.
Manchester United
Red Devils lost their trident and were rather toothless against Tottenham who properly dismantled them at Wembley on Wednesday. Having conceded the third-fastest goal in the Premier League history – courtesy of Cristian Eriksen who put the ball in the back of the net after only 11 seconds – Manchester United failed to recover and ended up suffering their first defeat since December.
Alexis Sanchez was handed his first start as a Ma…
West Ham manager David Moyes made a plea to remain in charge at the club after delivering a 3-1 victory over Everton on the last day of the Premier League season.
Two goals from Manuel Lanzini and one from Marko Arnautovic helped to secure the Hammers three points that left them 13th in the final standings, and Moyes said his side s performance showed a marked improvement on their play from when he took over in November 2017.
Although they ended the season with a run of three unbeaten games, prior to that sequence West Ham had achieved just one win in eight, with Moyes offering no clarity on whether he would be allowed to remain in his job next season.
I can t say because I am no further forward, he told reporters. We will meet and talk next week. We haven t arr…
Talksport understands that West Ham United are eyeing a £10m move for Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
The Hammers are on the lookout for a new shot-stopper, with Joe Hart set to be sent back to Manchester City after a disappointing season-long loan at the London Stadium which ended with him being axed from Gareth Southgate’s World Cup squad.
On the other hand, Heaton has been named as a back-up for the 23-man party despite having missed the majority of the 2017/18 campaign through injury.
The thirty-two-year-old, who began his career with Manchester United but left before making an appearance, has been at Turf Moor for the past five seasons and has racked up one hundred and seventy-eight appearances in all competitions in that time.
He was handed h…
Garry Monk says Manchester City have the depth to cope with their significant list of absentees ahead of Saturday s clash with Swansea City.
The defending Premier League champions could be without four first-team regulars as they look to reverse a poor run of form at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
Manuel Pellegrini s men have won just one of their last six matches in all competitions and were held to a 2-2 draw at lowly QPR prior to the international break.
The hosts who face Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday are likely to be without the injured Aleksandar Kolarov (ankle), while captain Vincent Kompany (calf), David Silva (knee) and Edin Dzeko (calf) are also doubtful.
However, Swansea boss Monk insists City have the squad to deal wi…
Manchester United has been fined £82,000 over two separate FA charges from their Premier League games with Newcastle United and Chelsea last month.
The club faced claims they had failed to control their players surrounding flashpoint incidents in both matches, crowding match officials after a disallowed goal against the Magpies and for a penalty concession against the Blues.
Now, having admitted to both charges, United have seen punishments handed out by the FA, with a heavy combined financial sanction for their troubles.
Manchester United has been fined £82,000 in total for breaching FA Rule E20.1 during its Premier League matches against Newcastle United on Sunday 16 October and Chelsea on Saturday 22 October, read a statement.

Dead by Daylight has built up a reputation as the ultimate crossover of horror properties, having roped in playable characters from several major media franchises over the years, though its latest addition isn’t necessarily from the horror realm. Lara Croft, the protagonist of the Tomb Raider franchise, has joined Dead by Daylight.
She joins the multiplayer horror title’s roster of playable Survivor characters, and though she obviously doesn’t come equipped with any of the weaponry you’ll be otherwise used to seeing her with, she will come with three entirely new Perks being introduced to the game, each highlighting her unique skills as the acrobatic archaeologist we all know her as.
Additionally, Behaviour In…
Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva is being monitored by Juventus, with the club s CEO Giuseppe Marotta hinting at a possible move for the soon-to-be free agent.
Thiago Silva is out of contract at the end of the season and the former AC Milan centre-back has been linked with a return to Serie A after his representative suggested his client could leave French champions PSG if his future is not resolved by December.
The news has alerted Juve, who are no strangers to signing quality free agents, having pounced to lure Andrea Pirlo from Milan in 2011.
Thiago Silva is an exceptional player and I don t know what PSG s intentions are for the future, Marotta is quoted as telling Rai.
It could be an opportunity like we had in the past to go for Pirlo. A p…
Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez earned Real Madrid a 2-0 win away to Roma that guarantees the Champions League holders first place in Group G.
Both teams had already qualified thanks to a draw between CSKA Moscow and Viktoria Plzen earlier in the day, but top spot and potentially an easier draw in the first knockout round was up for grabs.
Cengiz Under produced a contender for the worst miss of the season late in Tuesday s first half, the Roma forward blasting a dreadful effort over the crossbar from close range.
Bale s third Champions League goal of the season nudged Madrid in front in an engrossing contest at the Stadio Olimpico, profiting on an error from Federico Fazio, with Vazquez then tapping in the decisive second.
Gareth Bale s record in this com…
The prestigious Ballon d’Or awards will be co-organised by UEFA from next year.
European football’s governing body has reached an agreement with Group Amaury, the owner of media companies France Football and L’Equipe, to “enhance the stature and global reach of the awards”.
Argentinian star Lionel Messi won his eighth Ballon d’Or title earlier this week after steering his country to World Cup glory last year, with Spanish World Cup star Aitana Bonmati winning the women’s prize.

Baroness Sue Campbell says diversity in English women’s football is an area in which she hopes “we’re building”.
England’s squad for their victorious Euros campaign in 2022 featuring only three players of black or mixed heritage – a figure that dropped to two for the 2023 World Cup – was something highlighted in former Lioness Karen Carney’s women’s football review published last summer.
Describing it as a “glaring reflection” of a wider issue, Carney’s review said the Football Association “should urgently address the lack of diversity across the women’s game – in both on and off pitch roles.”
Campbell, who is this year set to retire from her role as the FA’s director of women’s football, has referenced the boost there has been…
