Kylian Mbappe is a smart enough player to create space and play with freedom alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar, according to Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier.

France international Mbappe appeared to question the tactics used at PSG when admitting last week he has a lot more freedom when playing for his country.

The 23-year-old was speaking on the back a 2-0 win over Austria in which he and strike partner Olivier Giroud linked up throughout, with both players on the scoresheet.

But while Galtier agrees that PSG could do with a Giroud-type player in their squad, he does not believe his side have a problem getting the most out of Mbappe in attack.

I don t think he has less freedom, Galtier said ahead of Saturday s Ligue 1 clash with his former c…

Arsene Wenger is not ruling out a return to management in the future after feeling harshly treated following his departure from Arsenal.

The Frenchman left Arsenal in 2018 after 22 years at the club and is now working as FIFA s chief of global football development.

He won three Premier League titles with the Gunners and the FA Cup on seven occasions, while also reaching the Champions League final and famously overseeing the Invincibles side of 2003-04.

Arsenal failed to mount a serious title challenge after moving from Highbury to Emirates Stadium in 2006, though, and there was an increasingly vocal Wenger Out brigade near the end of his tenure.

But Wenger believes he deserves more credit for what he achieved in his final years in north London, with Arsen…

In between his spells in England, the thirty-one-year-old had a successful spell with Barcelona while intern…

Emile Heskey cannot choose between Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski, as he claimed there are parallels between the duo.

Kane scored a hat-trick – his third for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga – in a 4-0 rout of Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday.

The England captain has now scored 15 league goals for Bayern, setting a new record for goals from a player in the first 10 games of their maiden Bundesliga season. He is only the fourth player to score at least three goals in three different games in his debut season in the Bundesliga.

Bayern had been in search of a focal point to lead their line since Robert Lewandowski s departure to Barcelona in 2022, with Sadio Mane having failed to fill the Poland forward s boots following his switch from Liverpool…

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.

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…
