Manchester United: Title contenders or pretenders?

Manchester United will look to build on their second-place finish in the 2020/2021 season as they finished within touching distance of arch-rivals Manchester City. The United faithful enjoyed a progressive season last term as they surprisingly found a level of consistency with much improved performances throughout the campaign and even against the top clubs. This season promises to be a better one after the addition of long-term target Jadon Sancho, Real Madrid's Raphael Varane and have also agreed a deal to bring back former legend Cristiano Ronaldo subject to an official announcement from the club. These are the type of signings to make an instant impact and improve the overall level of the team further. Already, the United side poses a fairly strong defense and now with the add...

Empoli shock Juve in Turin – Allegri’s second coming starting on a low

It was nothing short of a lackluster outing for the Allegri-led Juventus side in Turin. It was a Shock defeat for Old Ladies when newly-promoted side Empoli defeated them on Saturday night by a Lone goal at the Allianz Stadium. The defeat came after a day that their goal poacher, Portuguese international, Cristiano Ronaldo waved goodbye to the club after spending 3 years with them. He signed for the Italian club in the 2018 season from Real Madrid for €100 million and went on to score 101 goals in 131 appearances for the Turin-based club. Juventus' first game against Udinese this season ended unfavorably, they were leading by 2 goals before the home side Udinese rescued a draw from the jaw of defeat. The encounter ended 2 all but the focal point of the game was how the Video Assis...

The Red Devils stole Ronaldo from the Citizens and no one saw it coming.

It’s has been a weird and busy transfer window in Europe for both big and small clubs. The latest one on the radar was the transfer activity that involved the Portuguese international, Cristiano Ronaldo, and two football powerhouses in The United Kingdom; Manchester United and their neighbor, Manchester City. It has been reported that Ronaldo's return to the Premier League has been completed with Manchester United winning the race to resign their legend and agreements between the involved parties have been reached. The former Real Madrid star had his mind made up to quit the Old Ladies this summer after an unfruitful laden season where they lost the league title to inter Milan and suffered an early exit from UEFA Champions League for the second successive year after losing against a ...

Why Mbappe would be better off at PSG for one more season

French superstar Kylian Mbappe is the subject of speculation regarding a possible move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. It's no more news that Kylian Mbappe has idolized the Spanish giants from his childhood days and has dreamt of making the switch to the Spanish capital at some point in his career.  Despite the busy summer and influx of players who have come into Paris Saint Germain, which is supposed to emphasize the club's ambitions to land a European title, Kylian Mbappe, who has just one year left on his current contract, seems hell-bent on making the switch this summer.  It's been his dream to one day don the famous white of the Spanish giants and make a name for himself as the main man as he also sets his eyes on winning the prestigious Ballon d'Or award at some point in his car...

Harry Kane stays! A sign of loyalty or lack of options?

The England forward, Harry Edward Kane has reiterated in his Twitter account that he'd be staying put at Tottenham Hotspur. It came as a shock to many Man City fans who have been expectant to see Kane transition from Spurs to the Etihad outfit. It's not a secret that Harry has been a subject of transfer speculations over the last few months and the fervent admirer of the English man is no other than Manchester City. The Former Golden Boot winner had shown an interest in leaving Spurs due to their inability to win Silverware. The England poacher found the net four times at the just concluded European Championships. Unfortunately, the Three Lions were beaten in the final by Italy on penalties. After the competition, Harry went on holiday before the commencement of the new season ...

Will PSG have enough firepower to push for UCL triumph this season?

French giants Paris Saint-Germain have had an impressive summer in terms of recruitment after the signing of Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, Italian shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma, inter Milan right-back Achraf Hakimi, and Barcelona's Leo Messi. It appears the French club are assembling a team that'll be capable of going all the way to landing their first UEFA Champions League title. The Parisiens have fallen short of expectations in recent seasons even though they came close to winning the trophy in 2020 under manager former manager Thomas Tuchel but narrowly lost to a very determined Bayern Munich side. However, with the signing of the likes of Leo Messi, Sergio Ramos who have in the past fired their respective teams to the U...

The exit of Kylian Mbappe? A hard pill for the PSG hierarchy to swallow

It's has been a tug of war between the two most influential football clubs in Europe over the case of France international Kylian Mbappe. The 22-year-old French forward has been on the raider of Spanish club Real Madrid for quite some time but the Paris club are unwilling to let their golden boy leave for the Spain capital. Despite Mbappe's obvious desire to leave for Madrid, PSG are far from agreeing to such a move that would further strengthen one of their big European rivals. They believe keeping Kylian would increase their chances of getting their hand on the UEFA Champions League title that has eluded them for years. They've been longing for the UCL title since the Qatar sports investment company took over the French football powerhouse. READ: Is Romelu Lukaku the missing ...

Is Romelu Lukaku the missing link to Chelsea’s title charge?

Romelu Lukaku marked his return to Chelsea with a top-class performance over the weekend against Arsenal as he got on the score sheet on his debut and proved to be a thorn in the flesh of an Arsenal side who had no answers for the big man. Lukaku returned to the Chelsea side on the back of a very productive season with Inter Milan, winning the League in the process whilst scoring 24 times and also providing 11 assists. Lukaku has made big strides since leaving Manchester United for the Italian giants in 2019 and has matured into a complete Center-forward who not only is a consistent goalscorer but also creates for fellow teammates and finishes better. It can be recalled that this was a major issue in his early developmental stage. The big man all through the game on Sunday was con...

Premier League fans are becoming too impatient

It's no more news that the Premier League is arguably the one whose opening date is the most looked ahead to, in comparison to other football leagues in world football. However, fans of the Premier League need to ditch this newfound habit of immediate success and embrace the fact that nothing is cast in stone in the round leather game. Premier League fans are becoming too impatient, and this is not a nice trend. Both players and managers have been at the end of these negative emotions, and I daresay positive emotions from fans as they're the easiest to be thrown under the bus when things go sour. It comes as no surprise as the players and managers are the ones that the fans have access to. They are mostly the face of the club and the entities that fans can identify with. READ: ...

New season, same old story. Should Arsenal persist with Mikel Arteta?

Arsenal slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of bitter rivals Chelsea in front of their home fans in their first home game of the season. The gunners suffered for major parts of the game as a Romelu Lukaku-inspired Chelsea side proved too good on the day for an Arsenal side who couldn't just rise to the occasion and compete Questions have been raised about Mike Arteta's ability to lead this Arsenal team back to competing for honors and also getting back to the top 4 as the pressure begins to mount owing to the recent trend for the past 12 months. Some section of fans has started to lose patience with the supposed process and are urging the club to sack Arteta in a bid to try and salvage the season before it's too late. It could be argued in the game yesterday that the gunners w...
