Erik ten Hag highlighted Alejandro Garnacho’s bravery, maturity and confidence after the Manchester United teenager made a goalscoring return after a two-month injury lay-off.
The nascent 18-year-old talent, who recently signed a new deal until 2028, received an excellent reception on his first appearance since sustaining an ankle injury against Southampton on March 12.
Garnacho was brought on in the 82nd minute and scored with a stoppage-time strike off the post in front of the Stretford End to wrap up a 2-0 victory against Wolves.
Ten Hag was happy with all his introductions after a few weeks when he said the “subs were bad”, but the Argentinian took the headlines after United got their top-four tilt back on track.
“Garna, of course, scored a gr…
Burnley are considering a move for West Bromwich Albion forward Jay Rodriguez, according to the Mail Online.
The twenty-eight year old began his career at Turf Moor, spending almost five years in their first team before securing a move to Southampton.
He made one hundred and twenty-eight appearances for the Clarets, scoring forty-one goals and helping them win promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs in 2009 and being named their Player of the Year two years later.
He then spent five seasons with Southampton before signing for the Baggies last season and has managed eleven goals in thirty-eight games this campaign though his side are almost certain to be relegated as they sit bottom of the table, eight points from safety with just three games left to…
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna believes his side have gained belief from their opening three fixtures of the season.
McKenna’s side picked up their first point of the Premier League campaign since being promoted on Saturday, drawing 1-1 at home to Fulham.
This followed losses in two tough opening matches against Liverpool and Manchester City.
Despite a total of just one point so far, McKenna believes all three matches were beneficial to help show his side how they can approach the season.
Especially in the Liverpool game, the players came away with more confidence from it, McKenna said.
And [against Fulham] we built on what we did against Liverpool. Our pressure was good and aggressive again.
I think the players have come away fr…
West Ham United want to sign Ian Maatsen from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea in the January transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the Hammers are planning to sign a new left-back in the middle of the season, and Maatsen is on the radar of the Hammers.
However, West Ham are not the only club who are keen on Maatsen. The report has claimed that Barcelona, too, are interested in the 21-year-old, who can operate as a left-back or as a winger and is struggling for playing time at Chelsea at the moment. The Netherlands Under-21 international has made one start and 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League and has made two starts and one substitute appearance in the Carabao Cup for the Blues.
Chelsea are 10th in the Premier League table at…
But this is the question: do you want to go to that kind of team, because the situation is already that hard for each member and you want to be a part of it? That s one point you have to look at.
The other side are teams which need some big changes, because they just won a few big titles, but they are not able to compete on the highest level anymore. For me Manchester United is one of these teams.
So at this point of my career I m asking myself: do I want to be part of a new team, to build up something new, or do I want to stay at my team and make something great?
Those are the words of RB Leipzig forward Timo Werner who has confirmed during a recent interview with Sky Sports that he still isn t quite sure what to do regarding his future as speculatio…
Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristiano Ronaldo got the goals as Juventus won 2-0 at Udinese to clinch a 10th successive victory across all competitions.
Ronaldo, who on Wednesday firmly denied rape allegations dating back to 2009, effectively put the game beyond Udinese just before half-time and it was plain-sailing from there for Massimiliano Allegri s men.
Juve were dominant right from the start and capitalised when Bentancur and Ronaldo found the net four minutes apart.
The home side did go close on a couple of occasions, though they never looked capable of clawing things back, as Juve preserved their record of being unbeaten away from home in Serie A this calendar year.
Udinese struggled to even get out of their own half in the first period and it was a s…
Chelsea are interested in signing Moises Caicedo from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the Blues will step up their interest in Caicedo after their deal for Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte fell through.
Football Insider have reported that Caicedo himself would be willing to make the move from Brighton to Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United all are also claimed to be keen on the 21-year-old Ecuador international.
Caicedo has been on the books of Brighton since 2021 and has been superb for the Seagulls over the years. The Ecuadorian star has established himself as one of the best young players in the Premier League, and a m…
Zinedine Zidane hailed Sergio Ramos as an example to everyone at Real Madrid after the captain made an unexpected bid to feature against Sevilla in LaLiga on Saturday.
Ramos dispatched the winning penalty as Madrid claimed the Supercopa de Espana at the expense of rivals Atletico Madrid last weekend.
But the 33-year-old defender suffered a sprained ankle during the game and was expected to spend a spell on the sidelines until he emerged for training at Valdebebas on Friday.
We know the character that Sergio has, Zidane told a pre-match news conference. He always wants to play. He s done everything possible this week to be available and to be ready.
He is a great example to the rest of the team. He s our reference for everyone at this club and an example…
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique believes Harry Maguire can help lead Manchester United back to the top of the Premier League.
Maguire replaced Liverpool s Virgil van Dijk as the world s most expensive defender when he left Leicester City for United before the Premier League transfer window closed.
Not since Alex Ferguson s final season in 2013 have United won the Premier League but former defender Pique backed Maguire to help the Red Devils challenge for silverware.
It happened before with Van Dijk and before about 10 years ago with Rio Ferdinand [when he joined United from Leeds], Pique told Express Sport.
Culturally they invest a lot in good defenders and Harry Maguire is a great defender.
I hope that they can be at the top again. Manchester…
AC Milan and AS Roma are both interested in signing Adama Traore on a free transfer, following the expiration of his contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to Sky in Italy.
The 27-year-old winger, considered a player of huge potential in his youth, has surprisingly low numbers in terms of being an attacking threat. In 194 Premier League matches in his career so far, he s only scored 10 goals and produced 18 assists. Basically, a goal and two assists every half-season. Boasting incredible pace and tricky feet, this is an extremely worrying output level.
Nonetheless, Milan s interest in his services is believed to be alive for several months now. The Rossoneri are also considered favourites in a potential race against Roma, having Champions League football next …
