Just In: Man United have found perfect David de Gea replacement

Manchester United have reportedly lined up goalkeeper David de Gea replacement in the person of Everton shotstopper Jordan Pickford...


The 31-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season, though United have the option of extending his deal by a further 12 months.

The Spaniard is the club’s second highest earner behind Cristiano Ronaldo, earning a basic salary of around £350,000-a-week.

Why sending off Tomori was the correct call in Milan’s UCL loss to Chelsea

Image
The red card to Fikayo Tomori was a key moment in Milan’s loss to Chelsea yesterday but despite seeming harsh, it was technically the correct call according to the laws of the game. In the 17th minute of the match, the English defender was beaten to a through-ball by Mason Mount and found himself on the wrong side of the Chelsea man. Mount managed to get a limp shot away after jostling with Tomori and eyebrows were instantly raised when referee Daniel Siebert pointed to the spot and produced a red card, sending off the Rossoneri centre back. Replays showed that Tomori had his right hand clutched on Mount’s shoulder and he seemingly made two attempts to pull back the Englishman, who did his best to stay on his feet. A penalty was seemingly a harsh call but the sending off further infuriated and confused fans, especially those who thought of the ‘double jeopardy’ rule.  In Law 12 of the IFAB’s Laws of the Game, denying a goal scoring opportunity in the penalty area is only a yellow c...

Chelsea FC XI vs Aston Villa: Predicted lineup, injury latest and confirmed team news for Premier League game Graham Potter will be without Reece James for Chelsea’s trip to Aston Villa on Sunday as the club await on news confirming the extent of his injury. The 22-year-old came off with a knee injury at AC Milan and will now be assessed by a specialist amid concerns that he could be out for several weeks and require surgery. James could even miss selection for England’s upcoming World Cup campaign in Qatar with N’Golo Kante also likely to miss to France’s tournament. Furthermore, Wesley Fofana has been ruled out until after the World Cup, leaving Chelsea without three major players. Without James on Sunday, the Blues will likely move into a back four and look for attacking impetus elsewhere on the pitch. Chelsea had already been accustomed to coping without Kante and Fofana ahead of a busy period in the Premier League - with Brentford and Manchester United to come next week. Kepa Arri...

Video: Watch as Todd Boehly Reveals The Four World Class Stars To Join Chelsea Todd Boehly's search for a new sporting director at Chelsea has reportedly led him to Paris Saint-Germain transfer chief Luis Campos. The Blues' American owner is thought to be keen to appoint a figure to aid Graham Potter in the transfer market come January. Since completing a takeover of Chelsea back in late May, Boehly has set about making a number of significant changes to the west London club. One such alteration saw Marina Granovskaia ousted from her role as sporting director and Boehly temporarily adopted the position on an interim basis. Following a summer in which Boehly invested in excess of £250million on signings, the businessman has sacked head coach Thomas Tuchel and replaced him with Potter. One such assurance made to the former Brighton boss was that he would be entrusted to have a significant say in the club's transfer activity going forward. Potter will likely be supported in hi...
