Griezmann and Atletico Madrid confirmed on Tuesday that the 28-year-old’s stay in the Spanish capital would be coming to an end after five years at the club. Last June, the France forward signed a new contract to keep him at the Wanda Metropolitano until 2023, with a documentary titled ‘The Decision’ having been made to publicise Griezmann’s choice not to move to Camp Nou. However, following his change of heart, reports have suggested Premier League champions City were considering challenging any renewed interest from Barca by activating the forward’s release clause, reportedly set at €120million....
Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri bestowed such a label on City and his friend Guardiola ahead of the two sides meeting at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The reigning Premier League champions are top of the table once more and undefeated after 15 games of their title defence, having amassed 100 points last time around. They also collected the EFL Cup but lost 5-1 on aggregate to Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in April....
The Belgium midfielder was City’s standout performer as they won the EFL Cup and claimed Premier League glory with a 100-point haul last season. His campaign has been wrecked by fitness problems this time around, with the 27-year-old spending two extended spells on the sidelines before the turn of the year due to medial knee ligament damage. And, with Saturday’s match at the Vitality Stadium locked at 0-0, De Bruyne pulled up after sliding a pass down the right channel and immediately signalled to be replaced....

After De Bruyne volleyed a wonderful fourth goal, Aguero added two more goals, concluding an incredible period of five goals in 22 minutes....
One could argue that with the missed penalty by Riyad Mahrez, City dropped two points, but in chasing titles, it’s also crucial not to drop points against your rival. In the bigger picture, every point counts. A lot has also been said about Pep’s decision to give the penalty stroke to Mahrez instead of Gabriel Jesus. Before the game, almost all clubs I’ve played at including Manchester City, nominate the penalty taker....
Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus were reported to have tested positive for COVID-19 before the Boxing Day Premier League clash against Newcastle United. The spread of COVID-19 within Manchester City’s ranks then led to the postponement of their Premier League clash against Everton. They even had to shut down their training centre due to fears over the spread. In their subsequent game, which they won 3-1 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Manchester City were without at least four more players....
Pep Guardiola’s side picked up a record-breaking 15th league win in a row on Wednesday with a 4-0 victory over Swansea City and they will be determined to continue that habit as they tear away from the chasing pack. Fourth-place Spurs, meanwhile, are 18 points off the pace and, with the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal breathing down their necks, they will be desperate to win in order to keep their top-four hopes on track....
Such legends are hard to come by in today’s dynamic football environment where lack of instant success is frowned upon and alternatives are prepared at the slightest turbulence. Speaking of legends, there’s one name that sits among the elite- Sir Alex Ferguson. The Scottish gaffer won accolades with Manchester United year after year, without tiring, without getting bored, without losing the drive. Sir Alex was appointed as the United Manager in November 1986 but it wasn’t until three and a half years later that he delivered his first silverware in the form of FA Cup....
A friend of mine texted, ‘So now we know why we are going to get Falcao!’ I was perplexed. I looked at United’s team sheet. Ryan Giggs and Tom Cleverley were on the bench. Scholes and Anderson didn’t even make it that far. Kagawa started in midfield; however, it was not in the middle of it. It was from the left. Robin van Persie and Javier Hernandez started up top....
The team has already won the first three games of their tour, and though against underwhelming competition in the first two, there’s a quite a lot to be optimistic about. Already the style of play looks to be something that will not only get the fans excited but the players as well. Many players look comfortable and playing to their strengths. If all that continue in the coming games and into the new season, Manchester United may end up having one of their best seasons in recent years....
An own goal from Eric Bailly followed with a strike from Bernardo Silva, both in the first-half, got the job done for Manchester City. That inflicted the Red Devils with their eighth home defeat of the calendar year. Continuing from their recent trend, Manchester United were once again found wanting in defense. The strike pair of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mason Greenwood were isolated upfront for the most part. The Portuguese ace, playing in his first Manchester derby since 2009, saw a dangerous shot parried away by Ederson in the first-half....
Mourinho said, “Cristiano was never on my table to say yes or no to Cristiano to come to us”. The manager was speaking to the media after United were drawn with Juventus, Valencia and Young Boys in the Champions League. When asked about Juventus, he praised the club’s investment strategy and regarded them as one of the key contenders for the Champions League this season. “Juventus is one of the teams in Europe that invested in winning the Champions League because they don’t need to invest to win the Scudetto,” said Jose....
In case you didn’t know… Manchester United’s glory days were over the moment Ferguson turned his back on the club as the Red Devils have failed to win the Premier League in six years after the Scot’s exit. The Premier League giants have only secured a top-four finish twice since 2013 and recently missed out on Champions League football after a torrid season under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer....
The Scottish international made his debut in 2017 under the tutelage of the Special One, coming on as a substitute against Arsenal in the Premier League. McTominay has been on the books of Manchester United since the age of seven and has established himself a vital member of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad, featuring in every Premier League game for the Red Devils this season. Speaking to Sky Sports, the 22-year-old revealed that he’s still in contact with his former boss and added that Mourinho holds a special place in his heart....
Pep Guardiola’s side won the EFL Cup final against Arsenal last week and are cruising towards the Premier League title, with a 15-point lead at the top ahead of their meeting with champions Chelsea on Sunday. Barring a dramatic collapse in the coming weeks, it will be the second time City have been crowned champions in the last five seasons, while United have not been close to a title triumph since Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013....
Antony, the £82.2million arrival from Ajax, marked his United debut by opening the scoring against the run of play in the 35th minute, although the impressive Bukayo Saka poached a deserved equaliser for the Gunners with an hour played. Parity lasted only six minutes as an astounding through-ball from Bruno Fernandes with the outside of his boot released Rashford to beat Aaron Ramsdale. There was a repeat dose 15 minutes from time, with Fernandes again the architect as he threaded a pass to Christian Eriksen, who left the England forward with a tap-in....
