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..

Van Nistelrooy is absolutely wrong! Lionel Messi don't deserve to win the Ballon d'Or

Image
uud van Nistelrooy assertion that Lionel Messi deserves the Ballon d'Or ahead of other nominated players is absolutely wrong. 

 Lionel Messi is indeed a world class player, a dream player every team in the world will want to have but, last season wasn't his best campaign. He did score a respectable tally of goals -50 goals in 54 appearances- which is phenomenal but winning the Ballon d'Or takes more than that this days. 

 In the grandest of stage, Messi failed to light it up. He failed in Europe {the Champions League} and Brazil {the Copa America}. In both competition, Messi struggled to make any meaningful impact. 

 Barcelona were blown away by Liverpool at Anfield despite arriving the ground with a 3-0 win with Messi scoring one of the best free-kicks in the tournaments history. And with Argentina who finished 3rd in the Copa America, Messi found the net just once. 

 Dani Alves 34, was the player of the Tournament and not Messi who was red carded against Chile and later, banned for two matches by Conmobol for saying the competition was rigged to favour Brazil. 

Messi's reputation as a big game player always seems to hid one of his biggest weakness which is, he shrinks to mediocrity when donning the blue and white jersey of Argentina. Its seems like wherever he sees Argentina jersey his confidence flies out the window.. 

 Against Brazil in the Copa America final, Messi was just to average to influence the game and many will be forgiven to think, that player that looked like Messi was a impostor or probably a clone.. He very very poor. 

 Last season wasn't his best year and Van Nistelrooy must learn to accept that other players did play remarkably well for their club and country.. Van Dijk, Sadio Mane, De Ligt, Kylian Mbappe and even his biggest rival Cristiano Ronaldo did exceptionally well. 

 Ronaldo was able to win the Seria A and the Coppa Italia with Juventus and the Nations League with Portugal.. Emphatic!. 

 Put it this way, Messi scored loads of goals for Barcelona but failed to win the trophies that really matter- the Champions League and the Copa America..

Why Barcelona decision to ditch Philippe Coutinho for Antoine Griezmann have failed to work

Barcelona's decision to trigger Antoine Griezmann's € 120m release clause despite having Philippe Coutinho is beginning to look silly. The Brazilian  was fantastic to watch in his first season at Camp Nou as he helped Barca win the La Liga and Copa Del Rey title.  But, his second season wasn't as promising as the first as Barcelona managed to win just the La Liga title.  The Bluagrana giants were beaten badly by Sevilla in the Copa Del Rey final and Liverpool in the Semi final of the Champions League at Anfield.  A change needed to be made and Coutinho had to be sold to pave way for a World Cup winner in Antoine Griezmann.  Glorified, respected and proven, Griezmann was everything Barcelona thought they needed to arrest the club's decline and over dependence on Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez.  Unfortunately, the quick fix has failed to work as Griezmann has shown he lacks the flair, attacking prowess and mentality to drive Barcelona forward....

Chris Walder warns Liverpool: Sheffield United won't lose at Anfield

Chris Wilder has lauded praises on Liverpool and their iconic stadium 'Anfield' but warns, that his team aren't coming to Merseyside to lose like others.  Liverpool haven't lost a game in 52 matches neither have they lost a match at Anfield since April 2017. This season, they've won 17 games and drawn just once to Manchester United.. Powerful!  But, Sheffield United also boast a remarkable record. They've suffered just one away defeat to Manchester City which many believe was enabled by referee Chris Kavanagh.  Wilder believe Liverpool will be tough but his team can give them a fight.  "Going to Anfield, iconic stadium, fabulous experience, everything that Liverpool bring to the English game", Walder said during his press conference.  "They are the most powerful, historic of clubs in our game and going so well.  "But we'd like to put a little bump in their road, as we tried to do at Manchester City".

Can Manchester United really get a point or a win against Liverpool at Old Trafford?

How do you beat Liverpool? A question Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching staff will have to find a solution in just two weeks time.  That solution to beating Liverpool will save Solskjaer job, reinvigorate his team and off course, make the blue half of Manchester love him.. He might even get a congratulatory call from Pep Guardiola.  But achieving that fate will hard. Liverpool are unbeaten in 8 games and are in a run of 17 consecutive wins. If they beat United at Old Trafford they will equal Manchester City's 18 match winning streak.  Liverpool's away form is terrifying, they've won their last eight away matches, scoring 15 goals while conceding just 4 goals. In over 48 matches, only Manchester City have succeeded in beating them and that was last season.  Put this way, Liverpool don't lose Premier League matches, the best you can get from them is a draw but even that draw is very hard to get.  United though will see the return of Aaron Wan- Bissa...

Was the FIFA World Best Player rigged to favour Lionel Messi? The truth is coming out!

Lionel Messi is the FIFA World Best Player for the sixth time in history but something is not right about the voting system.  Olympic team coach Shakwy Ghareeb and Egypt national captain Ahmed Elmohamady have both come out to say their votes weren't counted. Cause if it were, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah would've been sitting alongside Van Dijk and not just Messi. Samuel Eto'o echoed this thought during the ceremony as he questioned the rationale behind picking Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo whereas Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were arguably the players that won the Champions League for Liverpool.  Mane's unbelievable display against Bayern Munich and Barcelona superseded everything Messi did last season. Mane didn't just win the Champions League with Liverpool.  He reached the Africa Cup of final with Senegal and twice weeks later, scored two decisive goals to win Liverpool the UEFA Super Cup. The 26-year-old was unbelievably good and that that is one ...
