Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho’s man-management skills are under scrutiny after he appeared to publicly accuse defenders Luke Shaw and Chris Smalling of malingering. While not mentioning either player by name, Mourinho expressed unhappiness after the pair missed United’s 3-1 win at Swansea City on Sunday, suggesting they had shown a lack of bravery. Some British newspapers reported on Tuesday that Shaw and Smalling were now “fighting for their futures” at Old Trafford. Left-back Shaw, 21, was said to be “baffled” over his treatment by Mourinho, who succeeded Louis van Gaal as United manager in May. The England international recently…
ENGLAND: Gareth Southgate has no doubt that Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw are injured, despite Jose Mourinho appearing to question the validity of the Manchester United defenders’ absence.
It seems crude to boil Philippe Coutinho down to mere statistics, but here’s one: on average he has scored or set up a goal roughly every 84 minutes in the league this season. For context, Kevin De Bruyne has managed that every 95 minutes, Eden Hazard every 115, Alexis Sanchez every 101. The only two players to have a better rate than Coutinho are Diego Costa with 81, and Romelu Lukaku with a shade under 84. Both of those men’s totals are weighted towards goals (nine and seven respectively), so you could argue that Coutinho, with five of each, makes…
A third successive home draw has cast new doubt upon Manchester City’s ability to last the pace alongside Liverpool and Chelsea, unencumbered as they are by European competition. Chelsea’s 5-0 demolition of the very same Everton side that proved so stubborn against City three weeks prior has opened eyes. Liverpool’s 6-1 win over Watford — which carried the Reds past City in the table — confirmed Jurgen Klopp’s team as serious contenders too. At the same time, City were being held by a stubborn Middlesbrough side who spent the first 45 minutes packing their own half and smacking the ball…
Is it too early to get excited about Liverpool winning the Premier League? It’s hard not to get carried away by the tantalizing thought that they are on the verge of breaking what will be, by the end of the season in May, a 27-year title drought. Jurgen Klopp’s team are exciting, with a bewilderingly brilliant attack. Their movement and appetite for work are spellbinding and in Philippe Coutinho they have a forward who is emerging as a genuine top-class attacking talent. On the Kop the craving to win the Premier League verges on compulsive. It is unfathomable that a…
Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after the club confirmed he has broken a bone in his right foot. Germany international Kroos, 26, suffered the injury during Sunday’s 3-0 La Liga win at home to Leganes although it was only diagnosed after he had joined up with his country ahead of their World Cup Qualifier on Nov. 11 against San Marino and friendly against Italy on Nov. 15. While Madrid have not given any expected time on the sidelines, the former Bayern Munich player looks set to be unavailable Madrid’s La Liga derbi at…
Jose Mourinho’s team selection was heavily criticised before Sunday’s game at Swansea but dissent reduced as Manchester United won 3-1 against the poorest team they have faced so far this season. Victory was needed, as were the fine goals scored by a side that had managed only 13 in their previous 10 Premier League games. For once, United looked the sum of their individual parts and the biggest names played well. Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney were all in need of a good performance and they delivered. Pogba looks happier running from deep than playing further upfield and…

Speaking to Liverpool’s official website, manager Jurgen Klopp said the new deals show the “clear pathway”…
Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano and Neymar flew into Belo Horizonte together on Tuesday on Neymar’s private jet ahead of becoming rivals in this week’s key World Cup qualifier between Argentina and Brazil. None of the players spoke to the waiting media in the Brazilian city, instead dodging through security and making their way to their respective national teams’ hotels. All three featured in Barca’s hard-fought 2-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday, but will be on opposing teams on Thursday at the Mineirao, where Brazil were beaten 7-1 by Germany in the 2014 World Cup semifinal. The game is…
Lionel Messi is becoming more and more like a midfielder all the time, according to his Barcelona teammate Denis Suarez. Messi masterminded his side’s comeback against Sevilla on Sunday, scoring an equaliser just before half-time and then creating the winning goal for Luis Suarez after the break. For large parts of the game he dropped deep to get on the ball, with one Spanish television commentator saying he was doing the work previously done by Xavi Hernandez as well as his own. And Suarez, who re-joined the club this summer after spells with Sevilla and Villarreal, has noticed that Messi’s…
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said that Manchester has been the best city he has lived in so far — beating the likes of Paris, Milan and Barcelona. Manchester United striker Ibrahimovic, 35, joked that he does not have high expectations though, coming from Sweden. Speaking about Manchester, Ibrahimovic told Inside United: “I heard a lot of things that the city is this, the city is that, the weather is like this and the weather is like that, but so far everything has been good. The city is the best city so far. “I come from Sweden, I don’t have big expectations…
Manchester United defender Matteo Darmian has told Sky Sport Italia it is “too early” to be thinking about the transfer window and he does not believe manager Jose Mourinho wants to offload him. Darmian had not played a minute of Premier League football this season until a defensive injury crisis at United led to him starting in the 0-0 draw against Burnley on Oct. 29. He played as a right-back in that game but was switched to left-back for the 3-1 win at Swansea on Sunday after Chris Smalling and Luke Shaw told Mourinho they did not feel fit enough…
