Manchester United have reignited their search for a director of football to work alongside manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after plans to do so had previously been shelved. United have explored various options over the past two years, from a traditional director of football or technical director to a transfer committee made up of ex-players like Rio Ferdinand and Darren Fletcher. But the saga has been on and off to an almost embarrassing extent. United were initially thought to have ended their...

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren is nearing a move to Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg, which would end a six-year stay on Merseyside. Lovren - who famously called himself 'one of the best defenders in the world' following Croatia's run to the 2018 World Cup final - has largely been surplus to requirements at Anfield this season, making just 15 appearances in all competitions. Lovren has had to settle for a bit-part role at Liverpool this season With just a year remaining on his current...

Chelsea will look to clinch Champions League football for next season on Sunday, when they welcome Wolves to Stamford Bridge. The Blues need a result and reaction on the final day of the season, after being thrashed 5-3 by Liverpool on Wednesday. A draw will be enough to secure a top four finish, but with just one win in their last three league meetings with Wolves, the pressure is on. Frank Lampard is still without midfield youngster Billy Gilmour, while there is a “possibility” that N’Golo...

Domestic leagues around Europe are finally drawing to their conclusion after all the COVID furore, and although it will be a far shorter break than we've become accustomed to (thanks, Champions League), you can be sure it will be full to the brim with nonsensical transfer speculation. But fear not, we've got you covered. The bulls**t-o-meter has been cleared as Coronavirus-secure, and is ready to run the rule over a selection of the best and worst rumours July 2020 has had to offer. Strap in,...

The Premier League have announced that the 2020/21 season will kick off on 12 September, with plans to wrap up slightly later than normal at the end of May. The 2019/20 season concludes this Sunday, substantially later than planned due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic. It had been unclear until now what sort of knock-on effect the late running of the season would have on further campaigns, even with the Euros postponed until 2021 to allow clubs to use the summer to conclude...

News Premier League champions Liverpool bring their exceptional season to an end when they travel to Newcastle on the final day of the season. The Reds finally got their hands on the long-desired trophy on Wednesday, lifting it after a thrilling 5-3 win over Chelsea. Should they pick up their 32nd victory of their campaign on Sunday afternoon, they'll finish just a point shy of a clean 100.

Brendan Rodgers won plaudits on Merseyside for guiding Liverpool to within touching distance of the Premier League title in the 2013/14 season, but while his departure would eventually be met with criticism, it could have very easily been a case of him being banned from the city for life. The reason for that, of course, is because he tried to replace Jordan Henderson with Clint Dempsey. It's an almost unfathomable twist in that very true story that six years on, Jordan Henderson is now a...

News Relegation-threatened Bournemouth must win their final game at Everton on Sunday afternoon to have any shot of escaping the drop down to the Championship. The Cherries currently lie in 19th place and will need to rack up a big win at Goodison Park, while also hoping that both Watford and Aston Villa lose, so that they can overtake both sides on goal difference and ensure themselves a sixth straight season in the Premier League. Bournemouth will be reliant on their attack to score on Sunday...

Football hasn't quite been the same since June 2000. With Luis Figo's world record €62m move from Real Madrid to Barcelona, the fee alone had a seismic impact - as did the near civil-war he instigated between the El Clasico giants - as Barça fans spat fire every time a Figo-led Real entered the pitch at Camp Nou. More significant than all of that, however, was what it represented. The contentious, maniacal signing was the perfect pace-setter for Florentino Perez's first reign of madness, and...

Southampton are understood to be keen on reuniting with former captain Adam Lallana, who is now out of contract at Liverpool. The Saints are looking for midfield reinforcements capable of filling the boots of former Bayern Munich star Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who looks set to complete a £25m move to Everton this summer. Lallana's game time has been limited in Liverpool's title-winning season 32-year-old Lallana has just lifted the Premier League title with Liverpool, but has been unable to nail...

Lionel Messi is a genius. One player in modern history has run him close, but for all his endeavour, he's not Messi. ? 2010 - 34 ? 2012 - 50 ? 2013 - 46 ? 2017 - 37 ? 2018 - 34 ? 2019 - 36 ? 2020 - 25 Lionel Messi has won the Pichichi trophy a record-breaking 7⃣ times!

Levi's x Liverpool Jacket The products are all inspired by season-defining moments and memories from the three LFC players and have pieces of the *actual goal...

David de Gea's recent form may not have earned him many fans in Manchester (or, well, anywhere) but one person who remains convinced of the Spaniard's credentials is Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel. De Gea, once widely viewed as one of the best around, has seen his stock plummet over the past couple of years. A series of inconsistent performances strewn with high-profile errors, most recently in the FA Cup defeat to Chelsea, have thrown his United future into doubt - especially with...

Barcelona are deep in trouble. This once prestigious titan of the footballing world may still have that allure to some, but behind the scenes is serious financial turmoil that is at risk of crippling the club unless sales can be made. In a desperate plea to raise funds - even just by a measly amount - a bizarre swap plus cash deal was done with Juventus for Miralem Pjanić that saw Arthur go the other way, but La Blaugrana are not done there. ? Força Barça ❤️ ? @oppo ? #OPPOFindX2pro...

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has been named FWA Footballer of the Year for 2019/20, an accolade that is a nod to achievements both on and off the pitch during this season.

Frank Lampard's side have the joint-third most prolific attack in the Premier League this season, but the Blues have been let down by a defence that has conceded 54 goals in 37 games.

Liverpool star Fabinho was the victim of a burglary while he was at Anfield celebrating the Reds’ Premier League title on Wednesday night - when the trophy was finally handed over. Likely knowing the house would be unoccupied that night, as has been the case with a number of targeted footballer break-ins over the last few years, thieves stole items of jewellery and an Audi RS6. The car was later found in the Wigan area but Merseyside Police are appealing for information. Liverpool lifted the...
