Do Man United have any chance against Liverpool in the upcoming clash at Old Trafford?

Last Saturday at Old Trafford was meant to be a celebration. It was new manager Erik Ten Hag’s first game in charge of Manchester United, and following a supposedly impressive preseason - in which they dispatched rivals, Liverpool, in a friendly - the club were looking set for an impressive campaign. All was set for an impressive season and one of many including Oddschecker, which compares odds and offers from online bookmakers and provides free tips on Premier League football, had expected United to be challenging for the top four this season. But whether they can remain in contention remains to be seen. What the fans in attendance were treated to at the weekend however was anything but celebratory. Brighton & Hove Albion rolled up to Manchester without any fear and played th...

Man United Are Being Bullied By Cristiano Ronaldo

According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo has told Manchester United that he has received an offer from a rival club. The Portuguese forward wants to leave Old Trafford this summer but the Red Devils are refusing to sell. According to The Sun, Ronaldo, 37, has asked the club to let him leave on a free transfer out of respect for his loyalty but the club are not having it, and rightfully so in my opinion. Therefore, he expects the club to name their price and allow him to move to a club where he will get to participate in next season's UEFA Champions League. Meanwhile, the club want him to complete his contract at Old Trafford and could even trigger the option to extend his deal by one more year.

Kounde Reveals Why He Chose Barca Ahead Of Chelsea

French defender Jules Kounde who was the subject of a transfer saga between Chelsea and Barcelona has revealed why he chose the Catalans ahead of the blues. According to the former Sevilla center-back, Barca boss Xavi was one of the key reasons why he opted for the move to Camp Nou. Reports suggested that Chelsea had reached an agreement with Kounde earlier in July but the latter delayed his final decision, giving Barcelona the time they needed to match Chelsea's offer to Sevilla. In a chat with Barca TV, Kounde credited Xavi for the role he played in ensuring that the move was made in Barcelona's favor. READ: Arsenal Ruthless In Pre-Season; Can They Sustain The Form?

Chelsea Identify Three Alternatives To Jules Kounde

The transfer battle between Chelsea and Barcelona this summer continues to rage as recent reports suggest that the Blues could eventually miss out on the signature of Sevilla defender Jules Kounde as the Catalans look set to hijack the deal. The Frenchman has established himself as one of the solid center-backs in La Liga and it appears that may opt to remain in Spain instead of move away from the La Liga.

The 2022/23 Premier League season is close to commencement and one Premier League team that has been in a row in pre-season is Mikel Arteta's Arsenal.
