Manchester United captain Ashley Young will not be joining Inter Milan next summer neither will he be signing a pre-contract agreement with other clubs having be given a one-year contract extension.  Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a huge fan of the 34-year-old and feels his presence at the club will be useful to the younger players in the team.  Although, the decision to keep him at the club haven't gone down well with fan who vented angrily on different social medias.  Some of the tweet reads; "How the might have fallen..

Rivaldo reveals why Pep Guardiola is convinced Man City will be champions and not Liverpool

Image
Brazil legend Rivaldo has bruised aside the assertion that Pep Guardiola has given up in the title race due to Liverpool's 8 point gap in the league. 

The Reds are unbeaten this season and have picked up maximum points to move 8 clear of Manchester City who suffered defeats to Norwich City and then Wolves at Etihad Stadium. 

Rivaldo who played alongside Guardiola at Barcelona for four seasons has revealed that the Spanish tactician is very calm, experienced and possess a strong winning mentality. 

Asked if Guardiola can overtake Liverpool once again and win the Premier League title, Rivaldo said: 

"Personally, knowing Guardiola having shared the Barcelona changing room with him, i know he is a very calm, experienced and strong person, who knows his players well", Rivaldo told Betfair. 

"With so many more matches to play in this Premier League title race, i think he knows Manchester City can overturn their eight-point deficit to Liverpool. Guardiola has built a great team with an excellent playing style". 

Liverpool have contested the Premier League title two times with Manchester City {2013/14 and 2018/19 season} and both times have failed to beat them to the trophy. Last season, Liverpool lost just once and finished with biggest point tally in the league 97 point and still, lost the Premier League to Manchester City -98 points. 

Rivaldo added: "Last season, Liverpool also lead the title race by a considerable margin in the middle of the season and then Manchester City was crowned champion. 

"Of course, it won't happen all the time, but he trusts in his team and knows they're not inferior to Liverpool, so he believes they can recover this situation. If he didn't believe in the team it would be much tougher to produce a comeback". 

Manchester City will play Crystal Palace next when the Premier League returns while Liverpool take on Manchester United.

Manchester United 1- 1 Liverpool: Marcus Rashford is a beast and 5 things we learnt

For a while it felt like Manchester United were superior to Liverpool as their moved the ball much quicker, created good chances and opened the scoring through a magnificent ball to Marcus Rashford.  Rashford for one was just unstoppable, his energy, swagger and relentless running scared the death out of Liverpool's defense including Van Dijk who struggled all game to contain him.  He did score the goal that would've been the match winner but one area of judge from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer changed everything.  Taking off Rashford allowed Liverpool's defense to push forward and pile pressure on United's brittle back line.. It allowed Andrew Robertson cross a delicious ball into the 12-yard box which evaded everyone except Adam Lallana who needed just a tap in to score and restore parity.  Although, Liverpool did have the lion share of possession but without their star man, Mohamed Salah to stretch United defense, they really struggled to create chances....

Mane, Salah, Alisson or Van Dijk: Which Liverpool player deserve to win the Ballon d'Or?

For the first time in history, seven Liverpool players have made the shortlist of the Ballon d'Or.  Alisson Becker, Van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, Trent Alexander Arnold and Gini Wijnaldum have all made the list but the list don't feel right.  They're Liverpool players that really deserve to be that list. The likes of Andrew Robertson who is currently the best left back in the world contributed 11 assists with 2 goals last season en-route to Liverpool winning the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup should've been included.  Joel Matip also deserve to be included. His the best 'right centre back' in the world and the only defender capable of dribbling past defenders while marauding forward.  There's no other defender in world football who can take the ball from the back, skip past two or three defenders before lying out a pass or shooting accurately to goal. Matip is the only defender who posses that trait and that is enoug...

Fabinho could miss Manchester City clash: So should Liverpool rest him against Aston Villa?

Fabinho might have struggled for 5-6 months to make Liverpool's first team when he first arrived but now, he is one of those names Jurgen Klopp never omits in the first team..  He plays every game nowadays and makes key contributions to the team's game plan. His tackles, interceptions and dynamism remains one of the key reasons Liverpool are yet to lose a Premier League game this season.  But, the Brazilian tackles haven't been always good and have resulted to four yellow cards. If he picks up another against Aston Villa he will miss Liverpool's title deciding clash against Manchester City at Anfield.  No disrespect to Aston Villa, they're a good team but Liverpool don't really need Fabinho in the team to win.. Its going to tough no doubt about that, but the likes of Jordan Henderson and James Milner can play in his position and Liverpool will still win.  So should Liverpool play him or rest for the penultimate clash with Manchester City?
