Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirms Man Utd have an 'open dialogue' with Paul Pogba over his future

mmer Though it may have ended with gut wrenching anti-climax, just missing out on Champions League qualification on the final day, Leicester's fifth-placed finish this season should still be viewed as a triumph overall. Prior to the New Year, the Foxes were playing some scintillating football under Brendan Rodgers and even put NINE goals past Southampton back in October. Despite all their early season promise, a season of Thursday night football awaits Leicester in the Europa League begins next...

However, despite his lack of game time, the Algerian starlet is highly rated at Anfield and has been a mainstay of the club's...

Spanish courts agree to investigate Barcelona corruption case

Mesut Ozil will not feature for Arsenal in the FA Cup final, amid reports that he travelled to Turkey several days ago. The 31-year-old has been iced out by Mikel Arteta recently and has not featured for the Gunners since making a cameo appearance in their 2-0 win over Southampton in June. This latest spell on the sidelines is apparently due to a back injury, though there has been speculation that Mikel Arteta views the attacking midfielder as a negative influence on the squad. Ozil spent the...

Man City pass early test but know consistency is key in title chase

The 2019/20 Scottish Premiership season was brought to an abrupt end, and for Rangers that meant being forced to sit back and watch as Celtic lifted their ninth consecutive league title. Steven Gerrard's men took a step in the right direction and still have the remainder of the Europa League campaign to look forward to, but make no mistake, Rangers will not be happy until they're sat on Scottish football's throne once again. Could the 2020/21 season be Rangers' time to shine? Here's all you...

Football's Most Iconic Pink Kits – Ranked

Football kit culture is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence as of late. Suddenly it's fashionable to dress up your snazziest retro team wear with the waviest pair of trousers you can find, and rock it like it's 1994. While some clubs are now trying to cater to that fashion element of football shirt culture once again, the infamous concept of a pink kit will forever be polarising. Seeing your team take to the field in a pink strip can only be compared to seeing Rey Mysterio wrestle without a...

When Project Restart kicked into gear, there were plenty of changes and football looked a bit...well, weird. We all got over it eventually and the teams did too, with some decent games emerging from the early rather...

'Top clubs' are interested in Napoli's Insigne, says agent

Ah, the FA Cup. The magic of the FA Cup. It's an exhilarating ride, and this one is set to come to an end on Saturday when Chelsea meet London rivals Arsenal at Wembley. In the not-too-distant past, that wouldn't have been a daunting prospect for Chelsea. The FA Cup was the Blues' tournament. Wembley was their playground. Didier Drogba was king. Between 2006 and 2012, Chelsea lifted the cup no less than four times, and they also reached the semi-final in 2013. If there was one team you didn't...

PLAYER RATINGS: Selangor v Melaka United

Manchester United are back. Well, almost. Things are starting to look a little brighter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with the Old Trafford faithful more positive having previously been treated to some turgid football from old managers David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. It's been over seven years since the Red Devils last won the Premier League under legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson, but they're creeping closer towards the benchmark the Scot set during his time in Manchester.
