Sterling found the back of the net only six times in 31 Premier League games last season and was vilified by a section of England’s fans after the country’s poor Euro 2016 campaign. However, the 21-year-old has impressed under Guardiola this campaign, scoring four goals in six league games. He was also named the Premier League’s player of the month for August. “The manager has told me to enjoy scoring goals and seeing the ball go into the back of the net....

The host is in red hot form after winning their previous 11 matches. They will need to keep on winning if they are to become the first team since Manchester United to defend the Premier League. They have won 17 of their 18 home league matches in 2018-19 and only lost to Crystal Palace. The arrival of Brendon Rodgers from Celtic has rejuvenated the Leicester City camp. Since his appointment, the Foxes has lost just twice in their last 7 matches....

City’s squad has undergone a substantial refit since Guardiola’s appointment in 2016, but a small handful of high-profile names have slipped through the net in similar circumstances. Dani Alves, Alexis Sanchez and Jorginho all seemed set for moves to the Etihad Stadium before having their heads turned by offers from elsewhere. Begiristain doubled down on a take-it-or-leave-it stance and key targets signed for domestic and European rivals. Aymeric Laporte’s 2016 U-turn was slightly different in that he stayed at Athletic Bilbao to rebuild after a serious leg injury earlier that year....

The red half of Manchester may not be going through the best of times. A dismal seventh place last season, an exit from Europe and a miserable start to this season with just two points out of a possible nine. There remains a deep fear among the United faithfuls that even they might end up like their Merseyside rivals - deprived of Premier league glory. Well it would be easy to feel sceptical about the future of the club....

The Spaniard joined forces with Gestifute, an agency owned by superagent Jorge Mendes, and this has created rumors regarding Asensio’s exit from Madrid. In the recently closed transfer market, the forward was unable to find a new club and will remain at the Santiago Bernabeu for the foreseeable future. However, according to Fichajes.net, Mendes will be pulling the transfer strings moving forward, and this could secure a move for Asensio soon....

In stark contrast to their previous encounter against the Cityzens, Manchester United were taught a lesson on their home turf, as they crumbled to an embarrassing 3-1 defeat against a rampant Manchester City side. The reigning Premier League champions raced to 3-0 lead in the first half, as the home side were red-faced by the team they referred to as the noisy neighbours in the days of Sir Alex Ferguson....

United led 3-1 at the half-time as Paul Pogba scored a couple of goals and Marcus Rashford added a third late in the first half. Ake reduced the deficit just before the half-time, but Romelu Lukaku scored in the second half to give United an emphatic win. Manchester United looked a vibrant team again and could have scored more goals. They have now scored 12 goals in three matches under Solskjaer and resembled the United sides of the 1990s and 2000s under Sir Alex Ferguson....

Cingolani is currently starring for the Rosario side’s Septima (Under-16) team, helping them to four wins in their opening six games. And while he is a long way off making his first-team bow as of yet, his form has already caught the eye of scouts sent from Old Trafford. “Manchester United have shown interest in Luciano Cingolani,” Newell’s academy coordinator Martin Mackey explained to Zapping Sport . “When they got in touch, we wanted them to say what type of proposal they had in mind and none has reached me....

Manchester United suffered their third defeat in eight days as Watford handed Jose Mourinho his worst run as a manager in a decade. Goals from Etienne Capoue, Juan Zuniga and a late penalty from Troy Deeney overwhelmed the visitors, who had levelled with a solitary strike from Marcus Rashford. For all their possession, United were unsettled by Watford’s harrying game and went behind on 32 minutes after Anthony Martial, still groggy from an earlier clash of heads, was robbed by Miguel Britos....

The 33-year-old striker had permanently etched his name into the history books of the Red Devils in a 13-year spell with the club, which was stacked with superb strikes and multiple silverware including the league title and the UEFA Champions League. In case you didn’t know… Rooney, who made his international debut for England as a 17-year-old in 2003, went on to become the second most-capped player in the Three Lions’ history....

United went into the match amidst talks of a crisis with manager Jose Mourinho reportedly having lost the support of his players. There is a talk of giving the Portuguese tactician a sack and bringing in former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane. If anything, the game failed to ease up any bit of pressure on the team or the manager. Avoiding a loss at this time and getting a much needed clean sheet are perhaps the only positives to take out of the game for the Manchester club....

In his post, the man explained that he was engaged to Lily’s mom when Lily was conceived. “I was led to believe Lily was mine throughout the entire pregnancy and almost signed her birth certificate before my ex [Lily’s mom] confessed, out of guilt, that Lily was probably my brother’s,” the man wrote, adding that a DNA test later confirmed that to be the case....

She would work more, but our 1-year-old daughter needs to be picked up from daycare,” he wrote. “I leave for work before they wake up and some days get home after our daughter has gone to bed....

Ferguson: Man United are now mirroring Mourinho The Spain international moved to Old Trafford from Stamford Bridge on January 25, 2014, for what was then a club-record fee of £37.1million. Mata was highly regarded by Chelsea fans and has gone on to establish himself as a firm favourite among the United faithful, making 131 appearances in all competitions and winning the FA Cup and the Community Shield last year....

United squandered a 13th-minute lead earned through Scott McTominay’s first goal for the club, as Wolves responded with a strike by Diogo Jota and an own goal by Chris Smalling. The second goal came after United captain Ashley Young was sent off for two bookings in a five-minute span. A win at Molineux would have lifted United into third place but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team stayed in fifth, behind fourth-place Tottenham on goal difference and two points adrift of third-place Arsenal having played a game more than both....

The Argentina international has remained a model of consistency for inconsistent Inter this season, with 18 goals netted in 24 appearances. That contribution, which now has him just four efforts short of 100 for the Nerazzurri, has sparked interest from leading sides across Europe, with the 25-year-old considered to be a shrewd addition for the present and future. La Liga giants Real are said to have identified him as a possible ‘Galactico’ recruit, while Jose Mourinho remains in the market for added attacking spark at Old Trafford....
