Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confessed he has enjoyed forcing sceptics to change their minds about how good his side are. The Red Devils entered the 2019/20 season in crisis, and that trend continued as they found themselves as low as 14th in the Premier League table at one point. Solskjaer was seen by many as out of his depth, and the United squad as a whole was often ridiculed for it's 'lack of talent'. Back where we belong. pic.twitter.com/1pCEVpxueD — Victor Lindelöf...

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has confessed that he has been left stunned by just how good Virgil van Dijk has turned out to be. The Reds made Van Dijk the world's most expensive defender at the time when they signed him for £75m in January 2018, so expectations were obviously very high, and Van Dijk has repaid that faith by finishing second in the Ballon d'Or race and leading Liverpool to Champions League and Premier League glory. Say cheese! ? pic.twitter.com/WoUIsRMYDh — Virgil van Dijk...

Tottenham Hotspur manager José Mourinho has praised his side for proving they deserve to be higher in the table with their post-lockdown form. After the Premier League resumed, Spurs lost just one of their ten fixtures (the 3-1 loss to Sheffield United), picking up five wins and four draws. Their last result, the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, saw Spurs leapfrog Wolves into the final Europa League spot.

Rangers? Winning a trophy that Glasgow rivals Celtic could have scooped? You'd be forgiven for thinking that's not possible, but that's exactly what happened when Steven Gerrard's side earned the Veolia Trophy after beating decent Ligue 1 opposition in Lyon and Nice. Celtic, meanwhile, laboured to a 1-1 with Patrick Vieira's side - admittedly, it was the Bhoys' first game in 131 days - while they narrowly lost out to Lyon at the Groupama Stadium. Two wins from two in Lyon to start pre-season,...

Juventus sealed a record-extending ninth Serie A title in a row on Sunday night, beating Sampdoria 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium to take an unassailable lead at the top of the table. La Vecchia Signora did have the chance to wrap up the title when they face Udinese in midweek, but threw away a lead to lose 2-1. However, that result merely prolonged the inevitable - with Juve now confirmed as champions after goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Federico Bernardeschi. Maurizio Sarri's first season in...

Juventus making history is getting a bit boring now, isn't it? For those of you who stopped counting ages ago, it's now nine Serie A titles in a row for the Turin giants, who swept aside Claudio Ranieri's Sampdoria to move seven points clear of Inter with two games to play.

mp; More Since returning from lockdown, we've become accustomed to getting our Premier League fix in drips and drabs, eked out at the rate of a game per day to the point that Fantasy Football has become utterly redundant. The final day of the season, then, was a real shock to the system in all the right ways. Well, unless you support Bournemouth, Watford or Leicester...in which case it was just a shock to the system. Why's that? We'll tell you why, Who Qualified for the Champions League?...

Sunday's Premier League clash with Watford was essentially a dead rubber for Arsenal. Their only potential gain from the final round of fixtures was the chance to move up into the soaring heights of eighth in the table. Hardly what was hoped to be the case 37 games ago. So all that can be achieved from the game was to build momentum ahead of the FA Cup final. A match that will define the Gunners' season. One game. One aim. ✍️ Signing off with a W! 2019/20 @premierleague season ✔ — Arsenal...

With Champions League qualification on the line on Sunday, Chelsea turned up and delivered a composed performance to ensure they booked their place at Europe's biggest dinner table next season. Mason Mount's stunning free kick was followed by Olivier Giroud's scrappy finish before half-time, and the Blues comfortably controlled proceedings after the break to ensure that Wolves could do nothing but watch them stroll into the Champions League.

Manchester United defied the odds in securing Champions League football after their 2-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday. Having been 14 points behind their opponents as recently as January, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer understandably wore a huge smile in his post-match interview at King Power Stadium. Bruno Fernandes struggled to influence the game at Leicester However, qualification for Europe’s premier competition shouldn’t mask the work still required at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have been...

Everton defender Leighton Baines has brought his memorable 18-year career to an end, announcing his retirement upon the conclusion of the 2019/20 Premier League season. Having made over 400 appearances for the club, Baines is one of the most influential figures in Everton's modern history. But he made just eight appearances in all competitions last season, despite Carlo Ancelotti seeing him as a key figure in the dressing room. ? | Leighton Baines has announced his retirement from football....

After referee Chris Kavanagh blew the full-time whistle at Goodison Park, Bournemouth's players and staff were left to wait - hoping and praying for a late West Ham winner at the London Stadium. There was no supporter reaction to gather hints from - as there so normally is on the final day - and, instead, it was deathly quiet as the players twiddled their thumbs and waited to hear what fate had in store for them. As the bad news filtered down from east London, the Cherries' players and staff...

On the face of it, Aston Villa don't look like a team with a dependable defence. In fact, only rock-bottom Norwich City have conceded more goals than Dean Smith's side this season. However, since football returned for this cold, fan-less addendum to the Premier League campaign, Villa have had remarkably cool heads at the back. Tyrone Mings has been one of Aston Villa's key performers since the restart The booming voice of Tyrone Mings marshalling his backline echoed around a cavernous London...

Newcastle 1-3 Liverpool; in many ways, it was the perfect ending to an historic season for the Reds. The performance was ugly and the football was far from fluid, but cutting through the white noise was a relentless desire to win. It's a trait that, over the past 11 months, has earned them the moniker of 'mentality monsters', and against Newcastle, it yielded three moments of magic that ensured they finished the season with more wins and more points than ever before. The third came straight...

Jorge Valdano, the manager who took a chance on a skinny 17-year-old all those years ago, summed up the relationship between the Spanish behemoths and their long-suffering number seven when he insisted: "Raúl is synonymous with Real Madrid." The Spanish footballing icon spent 16 years in the capital with Real, during which the individual records tumbled almost as readily as trophies were won. Six La Liga titles, three Champions Leagues, an Intercontinental Cup - though oddly no Copa del Rey -...

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has joked that he has 'no idea' who will be playing for him next season, after being asked for the 10,658th time to comment on speculation surrounding a move for Thiago Alcantara. Despite the universal agreement among virtually everyone connected to the club that any major additions to such a settled squad are highly unlikely in the wake of a worldwide pandemic,, links with Bayern playmaker Thiago are refusing to go away. Earlier this month, the Reds were said to...

God, how good is it to see Harry Kane in full cry, eh? Following the archetypal 'Harry Kane first game back from a lengthy injury lay-off' performance against Manchester United and a few sluggish showings in the encounters which ensued, a few bright minds started to insinuate some sort of significant decline in regards to the England skipper, with underwhelming 'touches in the opposition box' statistics supposedly adding further weight to their argument. Harry Kane looked off the pace in...

Bayern Munich loanee Ivan Perisic has again been linked with Manchester United, with a story stating a swap deal involving Alexis Sanchez could be on the cards. Perisic has spent the 2019/20 season on loan with Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich - who have the option to make that deal a permanent one - while Sanchez was sent to Inter - Perisic's parent club - by Manchester United. Perisic has had a fringe role at Bayern this season It is now reported by Fichajes - who site 'Transfer News' as...

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be in charge of the club next season, regardless of where they finish in the Premier League. The Red Devils have been in a see-saw battle with Chelsea, Leicester and Wolves ever since English football restarted, with impressive form from Bruno Fernandes, Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial, among others, leading the club into the top four. Martial and Fernandes have been in good form for Man Utd In previous years, United managers have been...

Day Watford and Bournemouth have been relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season. Sunday's results mean the Hornets and the Cherries will join Norwich in the Championship next season, despite Bournemouth's 3-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park. Eddie Howe's Bournemouth are also heading for the Championship Villa had put themselves pole position in the bid to avoid the drop by beating Arsenal in their penultimate game, and their dramatic 1-1 draw with West Ham at the...
