Man Utd players ‘mocked’ Ten Hag behind his back with ‘more harmony required’

Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is hoping to sign a new centre-back in the January transfer window following confirmation Simon Kjaer will miss the remainder of the season.

Kjaer injured his left knee during the early stages of Milan s 3-0 win against Genoa on Wednesday and was taken off on a stretcher.

Milan announced on their official website that the Denmark international underwent surgery on his anterior cruciate ligament on Friday and is expected to sit out the next six months. 

Speaking earlier in the day ahead of Saturday s clash with Salernitana, head coach Stefano Pioli confirmed Milan would look to bring in cover should Kjaer s injury be long term.

It s clear that I believe an intervention will be needed if that s the case, Pioli said. But we w…

17:30 West Ham vs Wolves

While Wolves might have been disappointed to have entered the enforced break with a 0-0 stalemate against Brighton, Saturday s guests mark their return still sat in pole position to secure another top-six finish. Still firing in the Europa League, Nuno Espírito Santo s men were previously enjoying a five-match Premier League unbeaten run and the mood in their camp appeared to be on the rise. Hoping that the red-hot Diogo Jota can carry on from where he left off back in March after bagging six goals in his last five matchups across all competitions, Wolves had also continued to gain a reputation for their rugged displays at the other end of the pitch. Including snatching a point away at Old Trafford prior to the break, the Oranges had recorded a clean sh…

It took a 74th-minute goal from Marco Asensio for Real Madrid to see off Granada on Sunday, as Carlo Ancelotti s side capitalised on Sevilla s slip-up against Osasuna.

A 0-0 draw in Pamplona meant Madrid s victory saw them move six points clear of their nearest rivals in the title race. Both Los Blancos and Sevilla have played 23 games.

Ancelotti s team remain favourites to clinch the crown, though last week s defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey, and a previous 2-2 draw at home to Elche, showed they are far from infallible.

The former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss made six changes for the Granada match (the most for Madrid from one game to another this season), which came hot on the heels of the defeat to Athletic, but by and large he has chosen…

It wasn t too long ago that the idea of Mason Greenwood getting into Gareth Southgate s England squad was farfetched.

After a stunning breakthrough campaign in 2019-20 that saw him score 10 times in the Premier League, 2020-21 got off to a difficult start for the teenager.

It took him until December to score his first league goal of the season, and it took him a little over four months to net again.

Although he was in England contention at the start of the season, such form had seemingly seen him fall well out of the reckoning. When he was unsurprisingly absent from the March selection, few eyebrows were raised.

After all, it was back in September when Greenwood – having just won his first senior cap against Iceland – was involved in controversy invol…

Market: Bristol Rovers to score over 0.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @

Looking to lay down what would be a real marker at the Valley on Saturday afternoon, Bristol Rovers will make the trip to a struggling Charlton.

Starting with the hosts, while Charlton might have opened the 2022/23 campaign with their sights set on mounting a play-off charge, the Addicks are enduring what is a woeful League One run. Parting ways with Ben Garner earlier in the month and with some in their camp potentially looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, the Londoners are now in the midst of a six-match winless run. Last seen putting in a nightmare display while on FA Cup duties as they suffered a 3-1 drumming at the hands of fourth-tier outfit Stockport, Charlton have also gained a reputatio…

Adrian has decided to stay at Liverpool, according to . The Spanish goalkeeper is out of contact at the former Premier League champions this summer, but he is close to agreeing terms on a contract extension at Anfield.

The 34-year-old has been on the books of Liverpool since 2019 when he joined on a free transfer after leaving West Ham United. The Spaniard is the back-up goalkeeper to Alisson, who is one of the best custodians on the planet and is a world-class player.

Adrian is a good back-up to have, and the 34-year-old reportedly staying at Anfield means that Liverpool do not have pay any transfer fee to bring in a back-up. Alisson is not going to be dislodged from his position anytime soon, and there is no point in Liverpool spending a lot of money to bring in a pla…

Portugal coach Fernando Santos was left frustrated by a lack of creativity and explosiveness as his side drew 0-0 with France in the Nations League on Sunday.

In front of a home crowd of around 1,000 socially distanced fans at the Stade de France, a host of European football s elite stars were on display in a generally entertaining encounter.

But despite all of the attacking talent on show, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappe, the match failed to yield a goal, with France unable to claim revenge in the two teams first meeting since Portugal s triumph in the Euro 2016 final.

Although Portugal came away with a commendable point, Santos seemed a little underwhelmed, as if he was expecting more of a spectacle.

He said: It was a very balanced game b…

Barnsley have confirmed the signing of Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong for an undisclosed fee.

The 22-year-old made 16 first-team appearances during his time at the Emirates Stadium and had spells on loan at Wolves, Charlton Athletic and Fulham.

Despite playing a key role in Arsenal s successful 2009 FA Youth Cup campaign, Frimpong found opportunities hard to come by and will hope his move to Oakwell will afford him more game time.

Born in Ghana, Frimpong has been capped once by his country, featuring in a FIFA World Cup qualifier against Sudan in March 2013.

Barnsley currently sit 23rd in the Championship and Frimpong is determined to help keep the club in the second tier.

I m really excited to be here, Frimpong told the club s official website. Ever…

From the moment he was appointed Manchester United boss, it was clear Louis van Gaal would be doing things differently to his predecessor.

His first words told their own story: This club has big ambitions; I too have big ambitions. Together I m sure we will make history.

It was a bold declaration, one that was a welcome move away from the usual media speak that accompanies such statements.

Most striking, though, was how greatly Van Gaal s words differed from those often uttered by the beleaguered some would say hapless man he replaced.

Indeed, when David Moyes first spoke to the press upon his introduction, he had this to say: I’m inexperienced in a lot of things and there were some brilliant managers who could have quite easily taken this role but the…
