Manchester City midfielder Rodri has shared his friends’ reactions to his Ballon d’Or 2024 win. He was adjudged the winner ahead of Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior on Monday (October 28) at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. Rodri was among the favorites for the coveted prize after a stunning 2023-24 season with club and country. The Spaniard was a vital cog in Pep Guardiola’s side that retained the Premier League title for the fourth season on the trot. Rodri ended the campaign with nine goals and 14 assists from 50 games across competitions. Over the summer, the player led his…
Jurgen Klopp was a master at bringing through young players at Liverpool, capping off his time as manager by winning the League Cup with a team of academy graduates against Chelsea. But Klopp also had a ruthless streak that comes with being one of the world’s best manager. Former Reds academy prospect Connor Randall, who made his debut on this day in 2015, can vouch for that, as he was hooked at half-time when Liverpool were trailing Wolves 2-0 in the 2017 FA Cup fourth round at Anfield. The match would turn out to be his last for the club.…
Liverpool could see their rivals hand them both a blessing and a curse if Manchester United appoint Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim as Erik ten Hag’s successor. On Monday, United fired Ten Hag following a 2-1 defeat to West Ham United. The Dutchman was given a new deal in the summer only for him to be removed from post just nine games into the new Premier League season. While Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to takeover in the interim from Ten Hag, it has been widely reported United is in talks to appoint Amorim as their new manager, in a…
Ruben Amorim, who Liverpool shortlisted and then rejected in favour of Arne Slot has emerged as the frontrunner to replace the recently sacked Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. Ten Hag received his firing following United’s surprise 2-1 defeat against West Ham, with the hierarchy at Old Trafford patently unimpressed following an even poorer start to the season than expected, with the Red Devils languishing in 14th domestically and having failed to win yet in the Europa League. Having opted against replacing ten Hag in the summer, United instead chose to extend his contract on the back of their underdog…

It’s felt inevitable for some time but Manchester United have finally decided to part company with Erik ten Hag and all I can say is: “Thanks for the memories, Erik!” That 7-0 win at Anfield back in March last year is something that will live very long in the memory. I’ve never seen anything quite like that and, in a way, I’m actually a bit gutted he’s going. Manchester United, though, are absolutely nothing to do with us. They’ve had a really poor start to the season and are currently 14th in the Premier League table, so we don’t need…
Seen as the favourites heading into the game at the Emirates Stadium, Liverpool battled to a 2-2 draw, equalising late on through Mohamed Salah. Arsenal had taken the lead twice through Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino while Virgil van Dijk had brought them level. It means their strong form continues, losing just once this season, drawing one and winning the other 10 in all competitions. As a result, they’ve fallen to second place and sit one point behind Manchester City. Yet, it could have been even better given that Arsenal were missing a few key players, but the midfield three…
Games between Arsenal and Liverpool rarely fail to live up to expectations and are known to be one of the Premier League’s highest-scoring matchups when the teams meet. However, it was perhaps spoiled by the focus not being on the football and more so the decision-making on the day. There were six decisions in the game which all created discussion post-match. What perhaps will be the most aggravating reality is that five of them went against Arsenal, while one took an age to finally land in their favour. With that said, football.london takes a look at the different incidents and…
Erik ten Hag’s opening press conference as Manchester United manager filled fans of the Old Trafford club with hope. For the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, it seemed as though United had appointed a modern, progressive manager. David Moyes was a peculiar choice as Ferguson’s replacement, while Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho were both past their best, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, for all the good vibes he brought to United, did not have the tactical acumen required to return the club to the top of the game. Ten Hag arrived with a lofty reputation off the back…
Sunday saw Ten Hag take charge of his final game in charge of United, which it lost 2-1 to West Ham United. It has since been confirmed the Dutchman has been sacked by United, with Ruud van Nistelrooy taking over in the interim. However, the warning signs for United’s INEOS led boardroom have been showing for sometime. They were dreadful last term and have carried that poor form into this season too. On the flip side, Liverpool boss Slot came in to replace the departing Jurgen Klopp, and has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water. The…
