Left-back perhaps wasn t the first position many Manchester United fans thought of in terms of areas that needed strengthening in pre-season, but it s now easy to see why they have added Alex Telles to their ranks.
With Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams as their two left-backs, most supporters would have been content – if not thrilled – by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s options in the position.
Both were solid for the most part last season, though in the case of Shaw, it is fair to say he hasn t hit the heights many expected of him.
Shaw appeared destined for great things when he joined United from Southampton six years ago, and although injury problems have affected him, it s difficult to argue he s any better than he was as an 18-year-old.
Williams, on the oth…
Napoli have urged their fans to make themselves heard in the fight against racism during Saturday’s home game against Atalanta.
The Serie A club said earlier in the week that it was “astonishing” that Italy defender Francesco Acerbi was not sanctioned over allegations of racism against their player Juan Jesus.
Inter Milan’s Acerbi was accused of racism towards Jesus in the closing stages of a 1-1 draw earlier this month, with the Napoli defender briefly pausing the match to report the matter to the referee.
We believe in a world where equality and respect are not just empty illusions but concrete and universally recognised principles.
For this to happen, we mustn t stay silent. Tomorrow is the right chance to raise our voices and say NO to racism …
Leeds defender Diego Llorente has rejoined Roma on loan until the end of the 2023-24 season.
Llorente, 29, spent the second half of last season with the Italian club, making 12 appearances in all competitions.
Leeds, relegated from the Premier League in May, said: “He now heads back to the Italian capital for a second stint and we wish Diego good luck during his time with Roma.”
More departures are expected from Elland Road following Leeds’ return to the Sky Bet Championship, with fellow defender Robin Koch joining Eintracht Frankfurt on a season-long loan earlier this week.
Leeds appointed former Celtic head of football operations Nick Hammond as interim football advisor last month and former Norwich boss Daniel Farke was installed as head coach ea…
Stoke City are lining up a shock move for Manchester City forward Edin Dzeko,.
Current Premier League champions City are on the verge of signing Swansea City striker Wilfried Bony, a move which is likely to see Dzeko move down the pecking order at Eastlands.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina captain moved to the Etihad Stadium from Wolfsburg in January 2011, and has gone one to make one hundred and seventy-two appearances in all competitions, scoring sixty-nine goals.
During his time in England, he has won the league title twice and has also lifted both the FA Cup and League Cup while he has thirty eight goals in sixty-nine appearances at international level.
Mark Hughes has room in his squad for another loan addition after cutting short Liverpool winger Ou…
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp had no intention of declaring tax on US$295,000 he received, a court has heard.
Redknapp appeared in London s Southwark Crown Court on Monday alongside his former chairman at Portsmouth, Milan Mandaric, with the pair accused of tax evasion.
Redknapp denied two counts of cheating the public revenue in relation to alleged payments from Mandaric into his Monaco bank account totalling $295,000.
Mandaric, now the Sheffield Wednesday chairman, also denied the charges before a packed courtroom that included several relatives and more than 30 journalists.
John Black QC opened the prosecution s case telling jurors both parties must have known they were avoiding taxes.
These payments were a bung or offshore bonus t…
Veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon says Italy are ready to prove their critics wrong when they take on Belgium at Euro 2016 on Monday.
A rare shortage of elite talent in creative positions has seen some observers, particularly among the country s demanding media, label Antonio Conte s squad the worst Azzurri side in living memory.
The absence of injured duo Marco Verratti and Claudio Marchisio, together with Major League Soccer-based pair Andrea Pirlo and Sebastian Giovinco being overlooked for selection, has left Italy looking particularly threadbare in midfield roles.
Further forward, striking options Simone Zaza, Ciro Immobile, Graziano Pelle, Eder and Lorenzo Insigne do not inspire fear in the manner of some of their predecessors.
But Buffon, who wo…
Granada have appointed former Rayo Vallecano boss Paco Jemez as their new head coach on a three-year deal.
Jemez spent four seasons at Rayo, battling financial insecurity to catch the eye with a devotion to attacking football.
Though he guided Rayo to their highest league place of eighth in the 2012-13 Liga season, he was unable to beat the drop last term.
Granada finished the campaign 16th, just one point above 18th-placed Rayo.
Jose Gonzalez replaced Jose Sandoval as Granada coach in February, but did not do enough to keep the job long term, despite scraping to safety.
Everton and Watford had been linked with moves for Jemez, before hiring Ronald Koeman and Walter Mazzarri respectively.

Pocket Pair has released a new update for Palworld, cSports Bettingurrently live on PC and coming soon to Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. It offers several balance adjustments, like increasing the HP for all Alpha and Lucky Pals by 1.2. Breeding eggs also have a “slight chance” to yield an Alpha Pal, providing more of a reason to pursue them.
It also affects bosses, though this has been “adjusted” to ensure they’re not too challenging. Bosses also had their damage reduction rate dropped to 18 percent, which should make them less of a pain. Interestingly, if you enable items and Pals dropping on death, they can be picked up by anyone for 24 hours.
They’ll also disap…
With the arrival of Homelander to Mortal Kombat 1 last month, Kombat Pack 1 is almost officially in the books. Fortunately, there’s more content in the works, with the game’s official Twitter confirming a panel at San Diego Comic-Con on July 26th to reveal Year 2.
The panel will run from 2 PM to 3 PM PDT and could reveal the next slate of DLC fighters.

Two new arenas and five new announcers are also reportedly on the way.
While another Kombat Pack is …
