Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has praised “fantastic” Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger for sticking with the methods he believes in despite criticism. Ferguson, now a UEFA coaching ambassador, and Wenger had a fierce rivalry during the Scot’s spell in charge at Old Trafford, but the Scot said he had a deep respect for the Frenchman. Gunners manager Wenger was the target of protests from sections of the club’s support last season as his side failed to sustain a challenge for the Premier League title and finished 10 points behind surprise champions Leicester. But he has steered the North…
Roy Hodgson is a man who likes to dampen expectations. Indeed, he did it to such an extent at the 2014 World Cup that he somehow convinced a few people that a group-stage exit without winning a game was actually a decent result. If that’s the aim of the England manager again this year then Marcus Rashford, who scored two minutes and 19 seconds into his international debut in the 2-1 friendly win over Australia on Friday, isn’t helping. The youngster has now scored with the first shot of his Manchester United, Premier League and England debuts, and he also…

Atletico Madrid’s rise to the top of European football has been a refreshing lesson that money cannot buy everything, yet they can still be hard team to like. Neutrals are torn between admiration for the way in which coach Diego Simeone has transformed and reinvented his side over the last four years, and discomfort at the defensive tactics and gamesmanship that have been used to achieve it. Simeone, who prowls the touchline with the same menacing air with which he patrolled the Argentina midfield during his playing career, has turned the Mattress Makers from relegation candidates into one of Europe’s…
Captain Sergio Ramos believes Real Madrid are as hungry to beat Atletico Madrid in Saturday’s Champions League final as they were two years ago when they beat their neighbours to land a 10th European Cup. It was Ramos who headed an injury-time equaliser to send the 2014 final into extra-time where Real overpowered a flattened Atletico 4-1 to end a 12-year wait for ‘La Decima’. The defender said that night in Lisbon had done nothing to sate Real’s determination. “If I was to write a film I would have scripted it like that but now we have to focus on…

Manchester United will be expecting to make it third time lucky in their attempt to replace Alex Ferguson with the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the club’s new manager. Ferguson’s retirement in 2013 was always going to leave an enormous void to fill at Old Trafford after the legendary Scot bowed out as a Premier League winner, taking his tally to 25 major honours in his 27-year reign as manager. More than that, Ferguson’s character, methods, discipline, loyalty and fierce will to win were ingrained throughout a club that regards itself as the biggest in the world. It was always…
