Former Liverpool and Manchester United star Michael Owen has heaped praise on the performance of Marcus Rashford following the Red Devils’ 2-2 Premier League at Southampton on Saturday. Jose Mourinho’s side experienced the worst start to the game after conceding two goals within the opening 20 minutes but they managed to level the scores before the break after a couple of assists from Rashford.
Manchester United legend-turned-pundit Rio Ferdinand has indicated that there should be some sort of discussions regarding Jose Mourinho’s future at Old Trafford following the club’s poor start to the league campaign. The Red Devils suffered their third defeat of the season against West Ham United on Saturday afternoon and this has already put them nine points behind the lead of the table.
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho wants some time in order to improve the team. He admitted that his team has had some bad results but he believes that they have been playing well.
According to Gary Neville Liverpool look like being the biggest threat to champions Manchester City, with their strength in both defence and attack helping them to overwhelm the opposition. Liverpool began the season with a 4-0 victory over West Ham on Super Sunday at Anfield, and followed it up with another solid win against Crystal Palce on Monday evening to remain in contention at the top of the table.
In the first week, there were also wins for Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City. Liverpool defeated City three times last season – reaching the Finals of the Champions League at City’s expense, and Neville feels that it’s going to be quite a challenging match-up between Liverpool and City once more. The playing style of Liverpool is certainly better than any other clubs though City have been putting efforts to push further up the pitch. Continue reading United Slip Behind

Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho feels Alexis Sanchez’s transfer came ‘cheap’. Sanchez has started on a brilliant note as expected. He featured in the 4-0 win over Yeovil Town in the fourth round of the FA Cup, winning the Man of the Match award.
United had to offer a superior contract to the Chile international to get him to move to their side instead of Man City that he had been linked to for close to two years. United did a straight swap deal, getting Sanchez and releasing Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Arsenal. Sanchez is expected to significantly boost the attacking prowess of United in the concluding part of the season. He showed his class in the Yeovil game where he grabbed two assists.

Jose Mourinho claims that striker Anthony Martial is a significant doubt for the upcoming FA Cup final on Saturday. Manchester United take on Chelsea in the final and this is a repeat of the 2007 final, which was won by Chelsea. Back then, Jose Mourinho was in the blue half as the underdogs against Manchester United, who had just won the league title. Now, Antonio Conte is in charge of the blues, who were once again the underdogs after a disappointing Premier League campaign.
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has said that Bristol City were lucky to have gotten the winner in the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup when they clashed on Wednesday. City ran away 2-1 winners due to a late goal in stoppage time by Korey Smith.
From the start of the game Lee Johnson’s side showed that they were not going to ‘park the bus’ against United. They showed courage and wanted to win the game, and they did.

With the new campaign already up and kicking, Man United are still reported to be chasing after the signature of Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale.
The Welsh started against the Red Devils in Tuesday’s UEFA Super Cup clash despite the KylianMbappe-cloud hovering over his future with the Spanish giants.
With Isco showing once more that he has so much to offer to Zinedine Zidane’s squad and “somebody” said to be keen on adding last season’s Ligue One’s sensation to the prestigious list of Galaticos, Bale will never likely know what his future is till this transfer window’s closes. It is one of the ugly pecks that comes with stockpiling your squad with world class players in a sport that clearly states you can’t keep more than 11 on the pitch at the same time.
Next year’s World Cup makes decisions as these very steep. Even the smallest of steps can tip off the one you are trying to woo. Continue reading MOURINHO STILL KEEN ON LANDING BALE
