Manchester united to trigger contact extension clauses on 4 first team stars

By
Manchester United will trigger contract extension clauses on four first team stars that will stop them from holding talks with other clubs in January.
According to reports, the Red Devils are ready to extend the deals of Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Ashley Young and Daley Blind.
All are out of contract at the end of the current season but Manchester United have the option to extend their deals by a further 12 months, tying them at the club until summer 2019.
The call follows an earlier decision to make the same move with Luke Shaw.
Making the decision before the turn of the year will stop the players from being able to talk with foreign clubs in January about a potential move, at least openly.
Herrera in particular has become a concern with the Spaniard linked with a move to Atletico Madrid.
Meanwhile Juan Mata, who has struggled to get into the Manchester United side this season, has been linked with Real Madrid.
The decision to extend their contracts, reported by The Telegraph, does not necessarily mean the players will remain at the club until at least 2019. But it does give Jose Mourinho more time to consider if he wants them to stay or should be sold next summer.
In the case of Shaw, his exit seems inevitable despite his contract being extended.

Cristiano Ronaldo has become the first footballer to reach 100 million followers on photo-sharing site Instagram. The Real Madrid star has made almost 1,800 posts on Instagram since joining and also has over 51 million followers on Twitter and more than 120 million "likes" on Facebook. By comparison, Barcelona's Neymar is followed by 74 million people on Instagram, while team-mate Lionel Messi has almost 71 million followers. In February last year, analytics site Hookit (h/t Forbes' Kurt Badenhausen) reported the 32-year-old had become the first athlete to surpass 200 million followers across the three social media platforms combined. In September, Ronaldo had a total of 238 million followers, putting him behind only pop star Taylor Swift as the most followed person on the planet, according to Apple Tree Communications (h/t ESPNFC). The Portugal international has since overtaken Swift, who has a combined total of 259.5 million followers compared to Ronaldo's ...

Rooney to miss Man Utd next two games

By
The Manchester United skipper suffered a muscle injury in United’s 3-0 win away to Leicester City, and is yet to recover since. He has missed three games after that, and looks all set to be on the sidelines for at least a week more. Jose Mourinho revealed in his pre-match press conference on Monday that Rooney will miss the Europa League tie against Saint-Étienne, and there is no guarantee that he will play on Sunday. England defender, Phil Jones, is also injured. The Portuguese said, as quoted by The Times : Rooney is injured and Phil Jones is injured. I don’t think they will recover [to face Saint-Étienne]. Rooney and Jones haven’t trained with the team yet so I don’t think they will be there.” When asked if Rooney could miss Sunday’s match, Mourinho replied: “I don’t know.” United face Chelsea in their next FA Cup tie, and odds are against them to beat the  Premier League  leaders in the quart...

Video Assistant Referee(VAR) to be used in Spain

By
Image
According to Marca, The Spanish FA have been given the green light to begin using VAR - Video Assistant Referee - and the technology could make its debut in the second leg of Atletico Madrid and Elche's Copa del Rey tie at the end of November. VAR is already in use in some European leagues, but there has been a mixed reaction to it, particularly in Germany   and Italy. As such, any initial use of it in Spain will be for testing and it will not be rolled out across the country straight away. This, though, is a start and a big step, one which seemed unlikely to come to fruition until Angel Maria Villar had to step aside as Spanish FA president. click here for more

By

An 'angry' Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly rejected a new contract at Real Madrid and demanded a transfer away from the Spanish giants at the end of the season. Ronaldo, who has previously made it clear he didn't want to extend his current deal which runs out in 2021, was believed to have wanted to quit the club last summer. The Portuguese superstar opted to remain at the Bernabeu but reports in Spain on Tuesday have now suggested he doesn't want to play for the club beyond this term. Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre, who works for TV station El Chiringuito, claimed Ronaldo has told Real Madrid president Florentino Perez of his decision. Aguirre adds that the 32-year-old former Manchester United star wants to leave on June 30 — and for a 'reasonable price'. However, Real Madrid are understood to have rejected his demand — which has further angered the wantaway star. It is believed Ronaldo doesn't feel appreciated at Real, and the offer on the t...

Zlatan Ibrahimovic: if Anthony Joshua want to see some 'Bruce Lee skills' I will happily agree

Anthony Joshua extended his undefeated knockout streak to 20 fights last night. And while the multiple heavyweight champion of the world provided the entertainment in the ring, the equally charismatic Zlatan Ibrahimovic stole the spotlight at ringside. The Man United forward was present in Cardiff as Joshua defeated Carlos Takam in the tenth round and provided a classic one-liner in the aftermath of the fight. When asked if he fancied stepping into the ring with Joshua, Zlatan joked that he only wanted to learn from the boxer but if Joshua wanted to see some ‘Bruce Lee skills’ then the enigmatic Swede would happily oblige.

Sergio Ramos claims he will be 'back in no time' after the Real Madrid defender broke his nose in their derby draw with Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Zinedine Zidane's side had to play the whole of the second half without their captain as he was taken off at half-time after breaking his nose in a collision with Atletico's Lucas Hernandez. Following the goalless draw at the Wanda Metropolitano, Ramos took to Instagram to post some graphic and bloody photos of his nose, as well as showing his devotion to the club. The Spanish international wrote: 'I would bleed a thousand times for this badge and this shirt. Thanks for your support. I'll be back in no time #HalaMadrid'. It was another disappointing day at the office for both Madrid clubs on Saturday as the result has left them even further off the pace at the top of the La Liga table.

Lionel Messi doing what he had never done before this season

By

Lionel Messi has not rested so far this season and had played every match. Even in a time when the push of a player is limited by so many things, Lionel still doesn't care and had probably gone to another level. Even at 30 years he is doing what he haven't done before, playing every match at this stage of the campaign. In other past season Messi  had been the last to return but this season was a reverse case. Under the new coach Mess I has impressed in the 13 matches he played.
