Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has been linked with a move to Manchester United, despite Ole Gunnar Solskjaer consistently backing his current number one David de Gea.

However, according to the Sun, De Gea's error prone season has caused United boss...

When the back-pass rule was introduced at the 1992 Summer Olympics, few could have envisaged it would have quite the impact on the modern game as it has done. No longer were goalkeepers simply required to ‘save’ any pass that had been fizzed at them from 40 yards by a panicking right-back. Instead, they had to show an accomplished first touch and an ability to get the ball out of their feet before distributing to a teammate, with the presence of an onrushing centre-forward growing more...

When Odsonne Edouard coolly slotted in his third goal against Hamilton on Sunday, Neil Lennon was outwardly delighted. Inwardly, however, he will have let out a little wince. As the French striker checked his run, anticipated the rebound, and stroked in his hat-trick, it more or less made sure of a comprehensive opening day win for Lennon's team, but it also moved Edouard one small step closer to the inevitable. If he keeps up performances like this, then one day soon, the Parkhead board are...

Inter are closing on the permanent signing of Alexis Sanchez, amid reports that an agreement has been reached with Manchester United over a €15m transfer. Sanchez joined I Nerazzurri on loan last summer, but was sidelined for much of 2019 after dislocating his ankle.

Manchester United have come up with a way to satisfy Borussia Dortmund in their pursuit of winger Jadon Sancho, with the Red Devils' next bid expected to be accepted by the German side. United recently tabled a bid worth close to £89m for Sancho, but Dortmund wasted little time in turning it down as they are adamant he will only be sold for €120m (£109m). United's efforts to save money have thus far been in vain For United, the hope was that they could avoid breaking the £100m mark, but...

Chelsea are keen to bring in some new faces to address their defensive woes, but manager Frank Lampard will only be permitted to do so if he offloads some of the current members of the squad. The Blues conceded a whopping 54 goals in the Premier League this season, more than any other side in the top half, and while some of that was down to tactical mistakes on Lampard's behalf, plenty of those goals were conceded as a result of poor decisions and mistakes from the players. Chelsea are...

As the ball rolled towards Club Brugge's Emmanuel Dennis, all alone in Real Madrid's penalty area, Thibaut Courtois was furiously back-pedalling. In a desperate attempt to protect his clean sheet, Courtois tumbled to his left-hand side just as Dennis' mis-control tamely rolled the other way, opening the scoring in the Champions League group stage clash earlier this season. A night that Emmanuel Bonaventure Dennis will NEVER forget ?? His two first-half goals helped Club Brugge to a 2-2 draw...

Winning a trophy in your first season as a manager is generally a sign of good things to come. The fact that José Mourinho, Arrigo Sacchi, Sir Alex Ferguson and Carlo Ancelotti are among those who couldn't highlights the significance of Mikel Arteta's accomplishment this weekend, as he led Arsenal to an FA Cup less than a year after taking the reins. He joins an esteemed list of coaches who wasted no time in getting their first piece of silverware in the bag...though there are a couple of...

Remember Aaron Hickey? The Scottish kid who was linked with Manchester City late last year, but was then swiftly buried under the weight of Hearts being rubbish? Yeah, he's back in the news again, with the BBC claiming Bayern Munich, Aston Villa and Bologna have entered the frame to sign him. So, who is he?

The first Saturday of the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership season was tight and cagey all round, but Sunday afternoon saw Celtic once again separate themselves from the pack. The Hoops are not messing about in their bid for a tenth successive title, and while eight teams scored seven goals between across Saturday's games, Neil Lennon's team brought five of their own to the party on the day they raised another Premiership flag. Odsonne Edouard's hat-trick and goals from Jeremie Frimpong and Patryk...

Reports in Italy suggest Inter are likely to part ways with Antonio Conte this summer, with former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri lined up as a potential replacement. Conte's Inter finished the Serie A season with a 2-0 win over Atalanta, ending the campaign just a point behind champions Juve. The standings fail to tell the full story, however: their title chances had realistically collapsed before lockdown, and they sat seven points behind Juve a week ago, at the point Maurizio Sarri's...

The 25-year-old Slovakia international joined Inter from Sassuolo in the summer of 2017 for close to £30m. Skriniar has been a consistent starter since his San Siro arrival and his ability to play on either the left- or right-hand side of three-man defence has made him a vital part of Antonio Conte's team this season. Only three outfield players have...

After failing to sign Timo Werner from RB Leipzig, Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp reached out to then-Lille striker Victor Osimhen to see whether a deal would be possible. Klopp is eager to bolster his forward line this summer and had Werner as his top target, but a reluctance to meet the German's £50m release clause allowed Chelsea to swoop in and strike a deal to bring Werner to Stamford Bridge.
