Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed Marcus Rashford for the way he has campaigned for positive change far beyond the football pitch, having persuaded the government to provide meal vouchers during the school holidays for children in struggling families. Thanks to Rashford’s efforts, the government announced a £120m summer food fund this week that will ensure 1.3m children, who might get their only proper meal of the day at school, will not go hungry while schools are...

Relegation threatened Aston Villa have a second consecutive home match, this time against Frank Lampard's Chelsea who are the current holders of fourth spot and in pole position to take a Champions League berth next season.

Ah, the Premier League. The so-called 'best league in the world'. You'll find nothing but undisputed legends in England, right? Sure, there's usually some real talent on show in the Premier League, but the English top flight has seen more than its fair share of completely disastrous individual showings. You know, the kind that make you question why your 80-year-old nan isn't on the field instead. Here are ten of the worst individual showings the Premier League has ever seen. 1. David Luiz vs...

News Barcelona face their toughest fixture since the return of Spanish top flight football when they travel to third-placed Sevilla on Friday night. With nine matches left to play, nothing in La Liga is decided and this encounter will have a sizeable impact on both the title race and competition for those lucrative Champions League places. Julen Lopetegui will be in charge of Sevilla on Friday but spent three years as Barcelona's second-choice goalkeeper in the 1990s After only 14 games in...

ness Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed as expected that both Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford are fit to face Tottenham on Friday night in the club’s first game back, although it remains unknown for now whether either will actually start in north London. Pogba has not featured for United since December and underwent ankle surgery in January, while Rashford was also sidelined in January because of a back injury. Rashford got injured during an FA Cup tie in January It has...

Atletico Madrid put five past Osasuna on Wednesday night to move back into fourth place in La Liga and stake their claim for a Champions League place, but it was at the other end of the pitch where history was made as goalkeeper Jan Oblak kept his 100th league clean sheet. The Slovenian stopper has not only reached the century milestone, he has got there faster than any other goalkeeper in La Liga history, shattering the previous record held by Miguel Reina, who played for Barcelona and...

A few hours before Paris Saint-Germain declared their lofty ambitious of continental domination with the unveiling of superstar signing Zlatan Ibrahimović, a slight 19-year-old poked his shaven head above a billowing blue, red and white shirt. The €12m capture of a promising, yet relatively low-profile midfielder from the second-tier of Italian football understandably fell into the background as one of the games great players - and self-promoters - conducted an impromptu photoshoot beneath the...

rest Leicester City are confident they will keep hold of England left-back Ben Chilwell this summer, despite interest from both Manchester City and Chelsea. Having emerged from the Foxes’ academy, Chilwell made his senior debut during the legendary 2015/16 season and has been a key part of the first-team since 2017. He has gone from strength to strength under Brendan Rodgers and has become an England starter as well. Chilwell has emerged as England's staring left-back 90min first revealed...

ands Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser has his sights set on a move to Everton this summer after the Cherries declined to meet his £100,000-a-week demands. The Scot has not agreed a temporary contract extension at the Vitality Stadium and is now expected to walk away from Bournemouth on 1 July. In a world in which free agents are expected to be more valuable than ever, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both been tipped to land Fraser, but the Daily Mail state that the 26-year-old has decided that...

Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz is open to remaining with the club for one more year in order to seal his 'dream' move to Real Madrid. The 21-year-old is one of the most in-demand players around, with Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Liverpool among those rumoured to be considering a deal which could be worth close to the £90m mark. Leverkusen want close to £90m to sell Havertz this summer One side who aren't considering paying that kind of money are Real Madrid, who have been...

Messi is eager to extend his stay at Camp Nou According to Mundo Deportivo, Messi is set to stick with his plan of signing two-year contracts which give...

The task laid before Arsenal prior to them kicking off against Manchester City was an almighty one. Unprecedented break from football, both sides' respective league campaigns and form aside, taking on the champions on their own patch is inherently daunting. So when Mikel Arteta fielded a starting lineup that looks more like one of their 11 v 11 mixed team training sessions, that daunting task became insurmountable. At least that was the general consensus, which is to be expected when the likes...

It's pretty fair to say that David Luiz didn't have a good game on Wednesday night in what was Arsenal's first game back from the Coronavirus enforced break. Actually, it's pretty fair to say that Luiz had the worst individual performance in the Premier League this season on Wednesday night. In just 30 minutes on the pitch at the Etihad Stadium, the Brazilian centre back managed to slice a clearance into the path of Raheem Sterling for City's first goal, pull to down Riyad Mahrez in the box to...

An empty Stadio Olimpico (unless you count the horrific computer-generated fans) played host to a dull Coppa Italia final on Wednesday night, as Napoli beat Juventus on penalties to lift the trophy for the first time since 2014. The lack of atmosphere, alongside the fact that these players are still lacking in match fitness, made for a lacklustre game, with neither side having any significant chances on goal. It became clear very early on that a goal wouldn't be scored from open play and that...

We were, what, 40 minutes into the return of the Premier League we've all been craving SO much, and already there has been incredible controversy. You can't write this stuff. Should Sheffield United be ahead here!? ?

ines The Premier League got back underway once again on Wednesday after three months, as Aston Villa played out a controversial 0-0 draw with Sheffield United at Villa Park. At kick-off, all players took a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. And when play got underway, it was the away side who looked to take control of proceedings early on, dominating possession. But this didn't last long as Villa created the first notable opportunity, with Conor Hourihane forcing Dean Henderson...

It's fair to say we weren't overly impressed with the first game back after 100 days, with a fairly drab 0-0 draw between Aston Villa and Sheffield United hardly getting the pulses racing. Which is why it was a good thing that the fixture list coughed up a tastier affair with Manchester City hosting Arsenal. Two of the biggest clubs in the country going head to head. Were we set for a level game with two sides dealing blow after blow at each other? Or was it going to be immensely one-side with...

Win Manchester City secured a 3-0 win over Arsenal at an empty Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, as a David Luiz horror show helped make the Citizens' Premier League return a pleasant one. While it was Arsenal who ever so slightly edged the possession stats, City had the better chances. First Raheem Sterling was denied, then some slick passing found space for David Silva, only for a fine save from Bernd Leno keeping the scores level. But the German has no control of his defenders. Namely, David...

Despite the upcoming summer window being clouded with uncertainty due to the ongoing global pandemic, football fans look set to watch at least one huge transfer saga unfold. All eyes are on Jadon Sancho, as the Borussia Dortmund winger is continually linked with a big money move to Manchester United. While Chelsea were previously linked with Sancho, the signing of Hakim Ziyech seems to have cooled their interest in the 20-year-old. The same can't be said for United, however, who still look...

The Premier League is back! Oh, how we've missed you. That's right. After 100 days, action in England's top division got back underway, with Aston Villa played out a 0-0 draw with Sheffield United. As the away side walked out on to the pitch first, it was once again made very evident the reality of the current climate. At kick-off, all players also took a knee as they looked to support the Black Lives Matter movement. #BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/IXkWyg8Yfc — Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial)...
