So, Jose Mourinho will be managing the home team at Old Trafford very soon. Unfortunately for those Manchester United supporters that want him to replace Louis van Gaal, this isn’t the announcement they’ve been waiting for. Instead, Mourinho is wanted to manage the England team in this year’s Soccer Aid on June 5. The charity event, which sees […]

Almost as soon as Jose Mourinho left Chelsea in December, he’s been linked with a return to football management. With Manchester United struggling under Louis van Gaal, many have tipped Mourinho’s next job to be the one at Old Trafford – but according to the man himself, he’s far from certain where his future lies.

Jose Mourinho may have left Chelsea in December, but to suggest he’s not on the best of terms with his former club might be wide of the mark.

Just when we thought we’d heard the last about Lionel Messi’s penalty, this happens… Arsenal youngster Trae Coyle has imitated the Barcelona star, passing his penalty to a team-mate in the same way that Messi presented Luis Suarez with a chance to score against Celta Vigo recently. The 15-year-old certainly executed it more successfully than […]

Selecting a dream five-a-side team is very much the done thing for footballers these days. Just this week, Chelsea’s Willian unveiled his own very impressive line-up (but didn’t bother choosing a goalkeeper), and his fellow Brazilian Fernandinho snubbed all of his Manchester City team-mates, when he announced his. Another of City’s stars, Jesus Navas, is the latest to reveal […]

If you watched Manchester United slump to a 2-1 defeat to FC Midtjylland, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Danish champions are pretty handy when it comes to racking up the goals. They might have only scored twice past Sergio Romero, but the Argentine had to be on top form to keep it at […]

Another dismal performance from Manchester United, and the spotlight was once again turned on Louis van Gaal.

Billed by some as the perfect fixture to ease the pressure on Louis van Gaal, Manchester United’s trip to FC Midtjylland was another game to forget. Having taken a lead through Memphis Depay, the Danish champions replied with two goals either side of half-time, to condemn United to another away defeat in Europe. Unsurprisingly, their […]

Following a late injury to David de Gea, Sergio Romero was given a rare start for Manchester United in Denmark.

Two legs against FC Midtjylland isn’t exactly the kind of glamorous European tie that Manchester United have been used to over recent years, but given their position in the Premier League, success in the Europa League could represent their best chance of returning to the Champions League next season.
