Former professional player, Steve Nicol, certainly hasn’t held back with regards to his thoughts on Joao Felix, as rumours continue that Unai Emery would like to sign him for Aston Villa.

There’s little doubt that when he’s in the mood, the Portuguese is up there with the very top talents in Europe.

He’s shown as much in flashes for Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona, but there’s the rub.

A player of his evident quality should be showing that game in and game out and Felix, even now, just drifts in and out of games.

That’s perhaps why Nicol has said he’s one of those “players that get coaches sacked.”

Emery can’t say he hasn’t been warned.

Video: Man City’s Pep Guardiola refuses to rule out taking the England job

Jason Pettigrove — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 09:00:46 +0000

Ahead of Man City’s pre-season tour, Pep Guardiola was asked about rumours connecting him with the England job.

With Gareth Southgate having resigned after England’s Euro 2024 final loss against Spain, the Football Association have to get the next appointment spot on.

It’s easy to understand why Guardiola would be the choice of many, and whilst he intimated that he was happy at City and looking forward to the new season, he didn’t specifically rule out taking the England job in the future.

Heung-min Son shared a wonderful moment with some young mascots before the QPR game yesterday.

The club played their third pre-season friendly, beating QPR 2-0. Yves Bissouma gave Ange’s side a 1-0 lead in the first half and young striker Dane Scarlett made it 2-0 near the end of the game, scoring a tap in from close range from a wonderful Mikey Moore assist.

Before the kick-off, So stood next to the young mascots who were left in awe at the presence of their idol.

Their expressions said it all as they greeted the South Korean, some even giving him a hug. And Son, the brilliant human being that he is, kindly reciprocated with as he met them all with a big smile, making sure it is a memorable day for them.

Video: Erik ten Hag trusts 22-year-old Man United talent after scoring stunning pre-season goal

Darren Looney — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 19:44:54 +0000

Man United were in pre-season action on Saturday against Rangers and the game saw Amad Diallo open the scoring with a stunning effort from just inside the box.

This season is a huge one for the 22-year-old as he looks to establish himself as a starter at the Manchester club and scoring goals like this will go a long way in helping the winger achieve this.

Diallo only played 471 minutes for Man United last season but this was largely due to a knee injury he suffered ahead of the campaign getting underway.

Following his goal against Rangers, Ten Hag stated that the upcoming term has to be Diallo’s.

“This has to be Amad Diallo’s year,” the Dutch coach said via Fabrizio Romano. “We have to see Amad in a different way, he is not inexperienced anymore. I trust him.”

This is a huge boost for the winger ahead of the new campaign getting underway and it is up to the player to grab his chances with both hands.

Video: Barcelona release stunning new home shirt and it’s an instant classic

Each year before football club’s begin their pre-season tours in earnest new kits are released, and Thursday saw Barcelona unveil their new home shirt for the 2024/25 campaign.

One half of the shirt and the opposite sleeve was blue, with garnet mirroring that on the other half.

The front simply had only the club badge and a sponsor logo but no text.

It gave the appearance of a very ‘clean’ and unfussy shirt, and it’s destined to become an instant classic.

Video: Future Man City ace breaks all-time MLS stat, erases Freddy Adu from record books

Jason Pettigrove — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 08:16:38 +0000

Freddy Adu’s name has finally been wiped from football’s history books as a future Man City star, Cavan Sullivan, took his record as the youngest player to debut in MLS.

Sullivan came on in the 85th minute of his side Philadelphia’s match against New England, replacing hat-trick hero, Tai Baribo.

Just 14 years of age, Sullivan broke the record by virtue of being 13 days younger than Adu, who shook the football world when he burst onto the scene many years ago.

Adu’s spiral downwards ever since is a lesson for Cavan Sullivan to be acutely aware of as he makes his way in the game.

Video: Kylian Mbappe steps out onto the Santiago Bernabeu pitch as a Real Madrid player

The noise which greeted Kylian Mbappe’s first steps onto the Santiago Bernabeu pitch in a Real Madrid shirt were defeaning.

The Frenchman made his way out of the tunnel to be greeted by a full house of supporters, and as he made his way to a specially constructed stage, the sound grew louder and louder.

Once on stage, he spoke at length in Spanish, and when he kissed the Real badge, it was the cue for everyone in the stands to completely lose their minds once more.
