Griezmann’s adviser claimed last week that Real Madrid — along with Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Barcelona — had asked about his availability.

Jose Mourinho faulted Manchester United’s forwards for Thursday’s Europa League quarterfinal first-leg draw with Anderlecht, saying they must develop a killer instinct. United looked likely to go into the second leg at Old Trafford with a 1-0 lead thanks to Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s first-half strike before Leander Dendoncker scored late to frustrate the Premier League side. Dendoncker’s header was the only shot on target of the game for the hosts, and while Mourinho called his back line “very solid,” he was less complimentary of his forwards for not providing a larger cushion. “We have to kill matches,” Mourinho told BT Sport.…

It’s safe to assume that Jose Mourinho would have had Manchester United’s Old Trafford clash with Chelsea this Sunday highlighted as a massive day from the moment that the Premier League fixtures were published last June. However, the United manager would not have expected the encounter with his former club to end up as nothing more than an inconvenience sandwiched in between the two biggest games of his team’s season. But after seeing United throw away a 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 against Anderlecht in Brussels in Thursday’s Europa League quarterfinal first leg, next week’s return fixture has unquestionably become…

Davido also spoke about the…
When it comes to Dele Alli, there is no rush. The Tottenham Hotspur midfielder turned 21 on Tuesday and he has plenty of time to win trophies and personal accolades. Indeed, he is a shoo-in to retain the PFA Young Player of the Year award, having been confirmed on this season’s shortlist alongside teammate Harry Kane, and he could conceivably win it five years in a row. Burnley’s Michael Keane is also among the nominees, with Romelu Lukaku, Jordan Pickford and Leroy Sane. Even so, it’s an incredible injustice that Alli was not named as a contender for the senior…
