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..

Sadio Mane is a superhero and 5 things we learnt as Liverpool beat Aston Villa 2-1

Image
What a comeback! Liverpool have beaten Aston Villa 2-1 to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. 

The game was good to watch as both side created chances and had attempts on goal. Aston Villa found the back of the net from a set piece scored by Mahmoud Hassan who found the back of the net with a good strike. 

65 minutes and Aston Villa still had the ascendancy which forced Jurgen Klopp to take off Mohamed Salah, Gini Wijnaldum and later Adam Lallana for Oxlade Chamberlian, Divock Origi and Naby Keita. 

All three changes might Liverpool had to go for the kill and boy! did they.. In the 87th minute, a sublime cross from Sadio Mane found Andrew Robertson who powered in the equalizer and later, Mane finished the rest with a fantastic header.. 

Liverpool win and now have six points lead over Manchester City who they play next at Anfield. 
Image Here are the five things we learnt

1. Sadio Mane is a super hero but he has to stop going down easily- 

What a display from Sadio Mane.. He was brilliant today and his assist and goal just goes to prove how important he has become for Liverpool. 

Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk might be the two players everybody talks about but Mane is certainly Liverpool's best game changer. He never stops running, fighting and scoring goals. 
Image
2. Andrew Robertson needs to add more goals to his game- 

Robertson is arguably the best left back in the world. . He posses everything a modern day left back needs to have.. He is fast, strong, technically good,  can cross, link up play and above all, he scores goals. 

He now needs to add more goals to his game to compete with legends of the games. 

3. Oxlade Chamberlian needs to start against Manchester City and not the predictable Jordan Henderson- 

Klopp has to start James Milner, Fabinho and Oxlade Chamberlian against Manchester City.. Why? Milner and Fabinho covers more grounds than any more other player in the team while Chamberlian is a goal threat.. 

Chamberlian is more like Steven Gerrard, always dribbling, running at defenders and once their's space to shoot, he will shoot from any distance. He is completely different from Jordan Henderson who is very predictable and often go for the safe passes and rarely shoots. 
Image 4. Dejan Lovren and Alexander Arnold needs to improve defensively- 

Both players have to improve defensively if Liverpool are to end their 30-year wait to lift the Premier League title. 

Aston Villa might now have the attackers to punish mistakes but players make but against a better team like Manchester City, those two have to be cautious of their passes or clearances. 

5. Aston Villa is a good team and they will remain in the Premier League- 

No disrespect to the other teams that lost to Liverpool, Aston Villa was just better than them. They weren't scared of Liverpool, they really believed they could beat Liverpool. 

They didn't plan to draw, nope! they wanted to win which frankly is incredible. If they can play any other team like they played Liverpool, i bet you they will finish in the Europa League places.

Why Harry Kane must consider joining Manchester City as Sergio Aguero's replacement

Harry Kane has reached the stage of his career when he has to think deeply about his future and ask himself if sticking with Tottenham Hotspur beyond this season will be good for his career or not.  The England international captain have spent 10 years at Spurs and only once have he come close to winning a meaningful trophy {2019 Champions League}. But in those years, Kane has developed into one of Europe's  top striker.  With Spurs he has scored 171 goals in 263 appearances and won the golden boot in 2 of the last 3 seasons.  Kane is top class striker but he knows he has to win trophies to become one of the best player in the world.

On current form and performance, Liverpool star Sadio Mane and Manchester City star Raheem Sterling are world's finest left forwards in football..  Both stars are extremely fast, strong, skillful, creative and above all, very good in finding the back of the net.  They both average a ratio of 1 goal a game and created at least 4 to 5 chances each game..

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....

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....

We have to defend the wide areas", Hodgson said during his press conference.  "We have to make sure our defending around the penalty box is very good. They are a very energetic team, a high pressing culture that when the ball is lost they work very hard to win it back and we need to have composure to free ourselves from our pressure."
