Manchester United fans react angrily to Ashley Young's one year contract extension

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.

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?
