mmer Manchester United face arguably the most important summer at any point since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, with current boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer overseeing the gradual emergence of a squad that might soon have the potential to challenge for major honours again. United need to add more players in several key positions throughout the squad, but there is also the matter of continuing to remove any lingering deadwood and streamline so that resources can be better used to build. Here’s a...

Assessing every Manchester United player ahead of 2020/21 - should they stay or go: De Gea, Bailly, Pogba, Jones, Mata, Lingard, Dalot.

News Swansea City head to west London with a slender advantage in a finely balanced play-off semi final tie. The Swans carried their momentum into the first leg after a dramatic final day in the regular Championship season saw the Welsh side sneak into the play-offs. Andre Ayew made up for his earlier penalty mishap to fire Swansea into a 1-0 lead in emphatic fashion at the halfway stage of the tie. Whether Steve Cooper's side can keep Brentford's famed front-three quiet for another 90 minutes...

Southampton are interested in signing West Ham right back Ryan Fredericks, after having been alerted to the 'potential availability' of the former Fulham defender. Fredericks, 27, joined the Irons in June 2018 on a free transfer despite the Cottagers gaining promotion to the Premier League in the same summer. The speedy full back has struggled for game time in his two seasons in east London, with injuries playing a significant part. Fredericks has been in and out of the Hammers' side since his...

It's been a painful watch for Norwich fans this year. Daniel Farke's vibrant brand of attacking football was enough to give the supporters hope of achieving something memorable. But, as they say, it's the hope that kills you and, instead of becoming Premier League disruptors, they withered down in the gloomy depths of the table for the entirety of the season. Well, at least it's over now, Norwich fans. Here's an evaluation of the Canaries' calamitous season. League Performance Premier League -...

It didn't look likely in the early parts of the season, but Manchester United managed to secure Champions League football for the 2020/21 campaign on the final day. Prior to the turn of the year, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's job was said to have been at risk, with the Norwegian running on limited time. Yet, the picture looks very different now, following the Red Devils' remarkable charge towards the top four in the second half of the season. Here's an evaluation of United's 2019/20 season (so far),...

Following a season in which: - Liverpool won their first league title in 30 years. - Leeds United were promoted to the Premier League for the first time in 16 years. - Real Madrid won La Liga for the first time in three years. - Football stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the first time, well, ever. We at the DEPR headquarters rank the 25 (yes, 25) best teams in Europe for the 30th and final time this season. And to do so we thought we'd bring out the big guns; the guns that, after...

Exclusive - Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti has asked for major backing in the transfer market from the club’s hierarchy if they want him to stay at Goodison Park for the long-term.

Mariano medical report.#RealMadrid — Real Madrid...

While there's been a number of standout moments in this disjointed season, one story that has slipped under the radar is the continued impressive performances of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Ever since their return to the Premier League in 2018, Nuno Espirito Santo's men have looked the real deal and are edging closer to becoming genuine Champions League qualification contenders - or even unlikely title challengers. That may seem far off, but with Raul Jimenez supplying the goals and Adama Traore...

At the end of the longest season, Tottenham Hotspur have to say one of the hardest goodbyes as Jan Vertonghen's eight-year spell in north London comes to a tearful end. The Belgian centre-back was an instrumental part of a hugely impressive Tottenham backline under Mauricio Pochettino. This parsimonious defence formed the foundation of Spurs' trio of top-three finishes between 2015 and 2018 along with their run to the Champions League final the following year. So my time at the club comes to...

Since their formation in 1946, Sampdoria have basically worn - bar a few sponsorship changes here and there - the same kit. Blue is the dominant colour, with the white, red and black hoops in the middle being what makes the jersey so iconic unique. It's a design that will never, ever, change for as long as I Blucerchiati exist. So, what makes their 1990 to 1992 effort so special? First, a brief explanation of why Sampdoria wear such an unusual kit. The club was formed shortly after World War...

Exclusive - Leeds United are looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of their long-awaited return to the Premier League, with Girona's Cristhian Stuani one of several names under consideration.

Leeds won the Championship title After Jean-Kévin Augustin's...

tate Newcastle United's proposed Saudi-backed takeover has been delayed because Premier League officials want to further investigate the link between the Saudi Arabian state and the Public Investment Fund. The PIF, which is governed by Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman, is looking to take an 80% stake in Newcastle, with 10% owned by businesswoman Amanda Staveley and another 10% by the Reuben family. Bin Salman's PIF agreed a deal to buy Newcastle in April A deal to sell the club was agreed back...

Beauty is one of the most subjective values in society, often deepened with the passing of time and the benefit of hindsight. The unearthing of a childhood toy can transport you to days long forgotten in your youth, or the memory of a long-lost holiday romance can be revived by a simple walk along the beach on a blustery evening. In the case of a football shirt, the defining factor of its allure is, more often than not, synonymous with success, and the legends who donned that particular...
