Ighalo is a proven striker made very much in Solskjaer's image. Professional, a team player and most importantly just happy to be at the club of his dreams. But the Nigerian is not in Lukaku's class, even if he is only on loan. This latest signing comes at a time when United fans have become increasingly frustrated by their team's lack of impact on the Premier League title race. They are playing second fiddle to their noisy but very successful neighbours City and having their noses rubbed in it by arch enemy Liverpool, who are running away with the title.
The boy has been working hard. He's fit and leaner. He'll bring us a lot. He's important. Solskjaer rued his team's lack of urgency in the game where they dominated possession. The first half it could easily have been my testimonial. And it might have been a better atmosphere at my testimonial. It was subdued, slow, no tempo, urgency," Solskjaer added.
MONDAY’S TOP HEADLINES This is about the preservation of life Arguments can be constructed to criticise - heavily - the length of time it took the Premier League, the FA and UEFA to postpone football in England and Europe. The decision, certainly to Wayne Rooney's eyes, was taken later than it should have been.

For players their exposure could come during travel, training and match days. Any actions relating to these activities must be coordinated in close cooperation with players and their unions.

Thun and Young Boys will face each other in the upcoming match in the Swiss Super League. Thun this season have the following results: 5W, 4D and 15L. Meanwhile Young Boys have 14W, 6D and 4L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Since last year, these two teams have met four times with both teams finding the net ten times in all those encounters. The away ten is in terrible form winnng only two games out of their last ten previous games. Their efforts to score in six of those games was not enough to rejuvenate their morale making them to fall at the bottom of the table. The home team however will be looking to continue building up their mentality as they cruise top of the table with six wins from their previous ten games in all competitions and netting twenty two goals as a result. I expect fireworks in this game as the home team fights to create a gap with Park and the away team struggles to find winning ways.
This inspired us to take a trip down memory lane and remind ourselves of other times when players went back to haunt their former clubs. Emmanuel Adebayor Adebayor scored in his first four games for Manchester City, including against former club ArsenalOld but gold, and probably one of the most infamous goal celebrations in Premier League history.
Speaking to ABC’s Good Morning America, she added: "This decision was out of left field for us. I think for both sides it was very unexpected. If anyone knows anything about the heart of this team, we are fighters and we will continue to fight together for this. Klausner did allow the players' case for unfair treatment in travel, housing and medical support to go to trial, which is set for 16 June in Los Angeles.
Sandhausen is desperate for the win, they are just 1 point ahead of relegation zone and the need to get the win but that is easier to said then done and thex lost in first game after the break from aue 3 1 on the road but at home they are much stronger and I feel like they have a very good chance today cause on the other side Regensburg is not so good on the road and especially their defense is not so good so I believe sandhausen should score 2 goals today and get very important victory for them
That includes chairman Daniel Levy, who earned £7m last year. Levy said: "We regret any concern caused during an anxious time and hope the work our supporters will see us doing in the coming weeks, as our stadium takes on a whole new purpose, will make them proud of their club.

It will make everybody think a little more deeply, from owners right the way through to players and agents," he says. It could also become an amazing opportunity for clubs' youth systems, where academy players can step up to the plate. Quite often the transfer window is driven by the media circus that goes around it. It's big news and very interesting, but it's not always necessary to overturn huge numbers in order to be a guaranteed success.
Maddison's representatives are in advanced negotiations over a lucrative long-term deal for the England international, with the club keen to conclude talks over the mid-winter break. Signed from Norwich for an initial £21 million in June 2018, Maddison has made an impressive breakthrough in the Premier League and his performances have caught the eye of rival clubs including Manchester United and Arsenal.
There was around 300-400 people, the whole PSG squad were invited, a lot of Neymar's Brazilian friends, actors and surfers, his big entourage. He has lots of friends and family, his agent and all of that. Also people like [Lyon forward] Memphis Depay, it's not often you see a rival club coming to the party of a big star of a rival club. What I love about Memphis on the night was he wearing designer wellies, just the £1,200 worth.
We will respect the winter break - KloppThe Football Association said every club agreed to this season's FA Cup fixture schedule and knew fourth-round replays might cut into their winter breaks, as is also the case with Tottenham, Southampton and Newcastle. But people at Liverpool who have spoken to Klopp say he regards it as a 'line in the sand' moment with regard to player welfare and believes that for his opposition to the present situation to carry any weight, he must follow through his argument that the winter break was introduced to give players a rest.
And he had the balls to go from Barca to Real. Kaka Kaka scored three goals as Milan beat Manchester United 5-3 on aggregate in the 2006-07 Champions League semi-finalsBallon d'Or (2007), World Cup, Champions League, La Liga, Serie AMerely a squad member as Brazil won the 2002 World Cup, the forward went on to win Serie A in his first season at AC Milan (2003-04) before becoming Milan's top scorer after Andriy Shevchenko's move to Chelsea in 2006.
Quite simply, the visitors are the better side, so much so that they look a good bet to continue where they left off when last playing away from home in Serie A. They beat Brescia by three goals to nil. Punters can profit by siding with 'Atalanta to Win & Over 1.5 Goals'. Atalanta have done a good job of preventing inferior teams from scoring away from home of late, as back-to-back clean sheets against Sampdoria and Brescia suggest. Add in that they've scored two or more in seven out if eight, as well as the fact that Bologna have conceded two or more in five of their last six at home, and the above selection starts to make plenty of appeal.
What does Euro 2020 postponement mean for football and fans? Paul Parker: Neville is right to say Premier League stars should play nine days in a row Huge changes to Premier League and Champions League planned to finish season - Paper Round No new dates have yet been set for the rescheduled finals.

United lost that final 2-0, with Berbatov coming’s on as a 66th-minute substitute. Ferdinand played the whole match. As Ferdinand acknowledges, Berbatov did enjoy success at Old Trafford - he won the Premier League twice, League Cup once and was the division’s highest scorer in the 2010-11 season. He was also known for his laid-back demeanour, so perhaps it should be little surprise that he didn’t always get on well with someone as driven and tightly-strung as Ferdinand.

As they look to better that run, they will probably want to look at their run of just two defeats in the last 13 matches across all competitions, as motivation. They have not scored in the last four league matches, another area they will want to work on but playing at home where they have two straight league clean sheets will be a boost.
Busonga will host Kyetume for this fixture of the league. Both teams are very average teams in this league. Yeah, Busonga have advantage at home stadium. Also, Busonga are in solid shape. They have three consecutive victories. However, I do not think, they have a easy task. I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, we have Kyetume who's is unbeaten team in their last 5 matches. Of course, the visitors have a very difficult task on the opposite stadium. They will try to pick up at least one point. I think, the visitors also want all three points.

However, of more concern was how his side lost their shape so soon after Wolves scored their opener. They remain seven points adrift of safety with only 11 games remaining. Wolves, on the other hand, are now two points shy of fifth - which could potentially become a Champions League spot - and five behind fourth-place Chelsea.

Brisbane Roar picked up their first win of the season last weekend after their own less than convincing start to the new season. They had only scored once prior to their match against Melbourne City and it was a bit of a shock when they came back from 3-1 down to pick up the 4-3 victory. The result showed the kind of resolve that Robbie Fowler has looked to instil in his squad and showed that there is some goalscoring potential in the ranks. Defensively, the team have looked solid but the ease at which Jamie Maclaren snatched a hat trick against them last week will cause some concern and things might look a little tighter this weekend.

It’d make a lovely Christmas present for your nan.
Watford's decision to sack Quique Sanchez Flores after only 10 Premier League games is based is one simple reality - the Hornets know they must remain in the Premier League at all costs and that status is already at serious risk. Those behind the scenes at Vicarage Road have worked tirelessly to ensure Watford not only arrived in the Premier League but stayed there. Watford's 2-1 loss at Southampton, unfortunate as it was, signalled the end for Flores as it put the Hornets bottom of the table with only eight points from 14 games.

The present rolling 38-game points gap between the two of 55 is the largest it has been in Premier League history.

And we've only had 14 games so far this campaign.
The first thing he thinks about is Wales, then golf and after that, Real Madrid. Gareth Bale has been criticised in Spain for prioritising playing for Wales - and finding time for a quick 18 holes - over turning out for his club Real Madrid, and the forward certainly enjoyed himself after helping his country to the finals of Euro 2020. Bale set up Aaron Ramsey's opener against Hungary and excelled throughout as Wales reached their third major tournament.

You look at the way the top teams are playing right now, and then you look at United. Using the back four as example, even their summer move for Wan-Bissaka was an odd one. He is one of the best defenders in the league but now he is playing for a team who have always had the ball for the majority of games, and needs quality going forward. For £50m, was he really what United needed?That is the only gripe I would have with Solskajer, but he is not the only manager at fault there.
Port Vale have won three of their last six matches against Walsall and have won five of their last six matches in league and cup and three of their last four matches have ended in a final scoreline of 2-1, so you can start to see why we have backed a 2-1 win for the hosts this Saturday.
