  Ruben Amorim: Man Utd boss defends 'strong words' on academy stars Harry Amass and Chido Obi ‎Ruben Amorim says there is a level of entitlement at Manchester United as he defended his comments about the club's academy last week. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Last week, when quizzed on not using academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo, Amorim used Harry Amass and Chido Obi as examples, suggesting they were not at the level required for United at the moment. ‎ ‎Both players then posted pictures on their Instagram accounts seemingly in response to Amorim's comments. Amass posted a picture of him with a Player of the Month award at Sheffield Wednesday, while Chido's image was of him celebrating scoring for the U21 side. ‎ ‎When asked about Amass and Obi, Amorim defended his "strong words", suggesting the young players at the club feel "entitled" and the culture needs to change. ‎ ‎"I think it's the feeling of entitlement that we have in our club,...

  Ruben Amorim takes aim at 'entitlement' of Man United's young stars... and responds to Kobbie Mainoo T-shirt controversy ‎Ruben Amorim has criticised Manchester United’s young players for having a sense of ‘entitlement’, and told Kobbie Mainoo to stay and fight for his place at Old Trafford. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Mainoo’s half-brother Jordan Mainoo-Hames stoked the tension between the England midfielder and United over his future and lack of playing time by wearing a ‘Free Kobbie Mainoo’ T-shirt at Monday’s 4-4 draw with Bournemouth. ‎ ‎Amorim won’t take any action against Mainoo because of something a family member did, but urged the unhappy 20-year-old to ignore the likes of Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt who have advised him to leave United in January for the good of his career. ‎ ‎The United boss also took aim at Harry Amass and Chido Obi, who responded to Amorim’s observation last week that they have struggled this season by posting photos on social media aimi...

‎Gabriel Jesus wrote a letter to Arsenal Family, and his confession to soccer ‎ ‎A Letter to My Family (And My Arsenal Family) ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Gabriel Jesus ‎ ‎Arsenal F.C. | Brazil ‎ ‎Dec 18, 2025 ‎ ‎Para ler em Português, clique aqui. ‎ ‎For me, a day without football is a terrible day. ‎ ‎It’s been that way since I learned to kick a ball. ‎ ‎After I tore my ACL, I had 300 bad days in a row. When the doctor told me that I would be out 12 months, I mentally collapsed. Thank God, what saved me during that time was my family. I think without them, I would have gone crazy. For the first few months of recovery, I had to basically live on the couch. I would come down in the morning on my crutches, and that was my world……. Treatment. Breakfast. Treatment. Lunch. Treatment. Nap. Treatment. ‎ ‎My daughter Helena is just 3 years old, so she would go grab her toys and bring them to the couch for me to play with her. ‎ ‎I would say, “No, I’m sorry, meu amor.

On December 18, Aftonbladet—the Swedish newspaper that organizes the Golden Ball award—announced that Isak had won the 2025 Swedish Golden Ball.

But when was the last time you had an extended conversation like this? ‎ ‎Isak: ‎ ‎Hmm… probably when I signed with Liverpool. ‎ ‎Q: ‎ ‎But that was with the club. When was the last time you spoke at length with a journalist? ‎ ‎Isak: ‎ ‎I think there might have been one... Ah, maybe I needed a Golden Ball to make this interview happen. ‎ ‎Q: ‎ ‎Fair enough. Anyway, Isak—congratulations on winning...

‎Cristiano Ronaldo is here to stay. At least, that’s the impression given by his latest Instagram post, where he appears in his underwear showing off his spectacular physique. ‎ ‎He doesn’t have an ounce of fat on him. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Ronaldo in fine form as he approaches 41 ‎Approaching his 41st birthday—which he’ll celebrate on February 5th—Cristiano Ronaldo appears in better physical shape than he was a decade ago, boasting an even more defined physique than before. His current condition is truly impressive. He remains a force to be reckoned with on the pitch, as evidenced by his statistics: 11 goals and two assists in 12 matches this season. ‎ ‎There’s no doubt the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player is training relentlessly to reach peak form for the 2026 World Cup, which will almost certainly be his last appearance on soccer’s greatest stage. Although with Cristiano, anything is possible, and who knows, perhaps he’ll even make it to the 2030 World Cup, which will be h...

Sir Alex Ferguson sends chilling Man United warning amid Ruben Amorim verdict Manchester United's legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson is not convinced the club will be in the title race conversation in the near future Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson believes it could be at least 10 years before the Reds are battling for the Premier League title and insists he has sympathy for Ruben Amorim. Since the Portuguese head coach took over in November 2024, it has been difficult for United. Amorim chose to sacrifice the Premier League last season to concentrate on the most likely route to the Champions League through the Europa League. However, this plan backfired as United lost to Tottenham in an underwhelming final. The Reds would go on to finish 15th in the Premier League. Since then, United have shown signs of improvement with the attack looking stronger and the Reds currently sitting sixth. However, there are still concerns about Amorim's tactics, with many criticising h...

You know it's probably going to be Arsenal or Manchester City for the Premier League title; Burnley, and someone else for relegation; and one of, like, eight or nine different teams for the final two or three UEFA Champions League places. These are the races that matter. These are the races we talk about. They frame everything that happens with a given club: Is the manager keeping the team safe from relegation? Are the new signings boosting the midtable club into the European places? Can that new striker put that already-excellent team over the top in the title race? But in reality, clubs don't function in this way. Or at least, they shouldn't function in this way. They're signing players, developing talent, and acquiring coaches with a multi-year view into the future. If everyone only cared about this season, every player in the league would be 27 years-old. So, today, we're going to rank all 20 Premier League clubs based on how the future looks. This isn't a p...
