Jamie Carragher has hailed Eric Cantona’s transfer to Manchester United as the greatest Premier League signing of all time. Cantona is adored by a generation of United fans and symbolises the start of a golden era at Old Trafford. The enigmatic Frenchman, who scored plenty of times against Liverpool, first landed in England from Nimes in January 1992 when Leeds United snapped him up. The forward made an immediate impact at Elland Road, netting three goals as Leeds clinched the league then known as the First Division. However, disagreements with Leeds manager Howard Wilkinson led to him submitting a transfer…
Novak Djokovic will make his long-awaited return to China at the upcoming Rolex Shanghai Masters, where he is a record four-time champion. The 37-year-old Serbian joins rivals including Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev on the entry list for the ATP Masters 1000 event, which will be held from 2-13 October. Djokovic, who has not competed in Shanghai since 2019, holds a 34-5 record at the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena. “I can’t wait. I’m super excited to see my Chinese fans, all the tennis fans,” said Djokovic of his return to Shanghai. “It’s one of the nicest tennis…
Everton are reportedly considering making a move to sign Luton Town star Elijah Adebayo, as per the journalist Alan Nixon. After moving to Kenilworth Road back in 2021, the 26-year-old helped his side gain promotion during the 2022/23 season. However, the Hatters couldn’t survive relegation last term and dropped straight down to the Championship. Despite that, Adebayo displayed glimpses of his goal-scoring abilities in the Premier League last campaign, scoring 10 goals in 16 starts. Now, Nixon has reported on Patreon that with Dominic Calvert-Lewin entering the final year of his current contract and hasn’t signed an extension yet, Everton…
Liverpool fans earned the respect of Cristiano Ronaldo and his family after a moving tribute from supporters in the form of a minute’s applause after the passing of the then-Manchester United star’s newborn son. The news that the Portuguese forward had suffered a tragedy in his personal life emerged during the week of the clash between the Reds and their arch-rivals back in April 2022. The passing of his son during childbirth led to Ronaldo missing the game itself – while both teams wore black armbands in a show of unity. After seven minutes of play, both sets of supporters…
We were all left really angry with how it ended for Everton against Bournemouth but what frustrated me more was Sean Dyche’s comments. Some of his post-match remarks so far this season have really baffled me. I let him off somewhat after Brighton & Hove Albion but this is modern day football and for him to come out and say he could smell the comeback for Bournemouth happening after their first goal, but I think nearly 40,000 fans could see it at 2-0. I also demand hard yards from players but some of them out there had given absolutely everything…
Paul Merson has conceded he called it wrong after his prior assertion that Manchester United would not succumb to Liverpool at Old Trafford was misplaced. In the build-up to Sunday’s showdown, amid the backdrop of a shock defeat to Brighton, anticipation around United was high. Yet United’s hopes were dashed as it found itself bested with ease by Arne Slot’s side, who unleashed havoc upon Erik ten Hag’s squad. Luis Diaz pounced on a pair of blunders from Casemiro to secure a robust lead for the Reds by half-time. The Egyptian king, Mohamed Salah, then put the game beyond reach…
Liverpool have a forbidden interest in Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, according to reports, which has been described as “concrete”. For many supporters, the main priorities in the summer transfer window were to replace Joel Matip and to sign a top-class defensive midfielder. Ryan Gravenberch appears to be set to take up the mantle as the latter but the lack of a centre-back signing has a few fans feeling nervous about what kind of impact injuries could have on the squad. Even though Liverpool did not sign a new central defender, it appears they have not stopped looking at options and…
Arne Slot has made a perfect start to life as a Liverpool manager. Liverpool outclassed Manchester United 3-0 on Sunday at Old Trafford to maintain their 100% start to the new Premier League season. Whilst clubs like Chelsea and even Manchester United spent heavily in the summer, those on Merseyside were a lot quieter. Federico Chiesa was Liverpool’s standout purchase in a bargain deal, whilst goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili also joined the club, but he was loaned back to Valencia. Slot wanted the club to bring in a much-needed number six, but to the surprise of everyone, Martín Zubimendi turned down…
The 19-year-old midfielder is highly rated at Liverpool and this summer joined Austrian side Salzburg on a season-long loan agreement, with the Austrians beating off Barcelona. He has been reunited with Lijnders, who worked with Bajcetic at Liverpool during his time as Jurgen Klopp’s assistant manager. Bajcetic has both Serbian and Spanish lineage and Lijnders believes that the Liverpool midfielder has acquired both styles of the game. The Salzburg boss pointed out that when going into the tackles and challenges, Bajcetic shows the aggressiveness of a Serbian and, when in control of the ball, displays his Spanish ability of possession.…
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz were allowed to “cheat” against Manchester United thanks to Arne Slot’s tactical brilliance, according to Rio Ferdinand. The Reds secured a 3-0 victory at Old Trafford on Sunday, marking a successful debut for Slot against the Red Devils. Diaz scored twice in the first half with an assist from his fellow winger for his second goal, while Salah added to the tally in the second half with a left-footed strike past Andre Onana. Casemiro was largely blamed for the defeat after losing possession to Ryan Gravenberch for Liverpool’s opening goal and being intercepted by…
