The news that Santi Cazorla is set to miss the rest of the season because of his ongoing Achilles injury is a blow, but hardly a surprise. The 32-year-old has been struggling for some time now, has undergone two separate operations, and even his setbacks have had setbacks. He last played for the club in October. Whenever Arsenal lose a game or go through a bad period, his absence is cited as a key factor. And while there might well be some element of truth to it, the wider issue is that the Gunners’ midfield is still an area of…

Jose Mourinho’s fiercest managerial rivalries have tended to be with those who, in one way or another, represent an opposite of him. Pep Guardiola is the purist and the professor, Arsene Wenger the austere idealist and Roberto Mancini the Italian icon. Rafa Benitez spoke with robotic repetitiveness. Claudio Ranieri seemed a happy-go-lucky nearly man. None of those descriptions apply to the Manchester United manager. But if his enemies are often his antithesis, Mourinho faces another who qualifies for that category on Sunday. Like Manuel Pellegrini, one of the many predecessors or successors with whom Mourinho has feuded, Claude Puel projects…
Wayne Rooney has dismissed talk of a possible move to China and said he wants to remain at Manchester United. Rooney, 31, had been strongly linked with a transfer to the Chinese Super League, where the transfer window closes on Tuesday, with a source saying that his agent was in China to speak to interested clubs. However, the United captain, in a statement released by the Premier League club, said that while he was grateful of the interest, he has no intention of leaving Old Trafford this season. “Despite the interest which has been shown from other clubs, for which…
The reality was that Wayne Rooney was never going to rush into a lucrative move to China before next Tuesday’s transfer deadline but, by confirming his determination to “fight for success on four fronts” with Manchester United, he has bought time, both for himself and his club. The statement issued by Rooney on Thursday was a cleverly worded communication. Yes, he will stay for the remainder of this campaign but, beyond that, his future remains open to interpretation. There was no insistence, for example, that he wishes to remain at Old Trafford until his current contract expires in June 2018.…
Leicester City have sacked Claudio Ranieri just nine months after he led the club to their first Premier League title. Ranieri guided Leicester to the most unlikely of title wins last season and went on to win FIFA’s Coach of the Year for the achievement. However, Ranieri and Leicester have struggled this season, with the club sitting just one point and one position above the relegation zone, having failed to score a single league goal in 2017. Leicester are still in with a chance of qualifying for the quarterfinals of the Champions League following Wednesday’s 2-1 round-of-16 first-leg defeat to…
