Paul Pogba not interested in Juventus return,claims Man utd is My home

Paul Pogba has ruled out a return to Juventus and reiterated his commitment to Manchester United by describing the club as his "home."

Pogba joined United's youth academy in 2009 but having failed to break into the first team, joined the Serie A champions in 2012 where he established himself as one of the game's leading midfielders. He made his return to Old Trafford for a then world record £89 million deal in 2016.

In recent months, there have been question marks over Pogba's United future following various bust-ups with manager Jose Mourinho. The midfielder has been linked with a return to Juventus but Pogba said his stint with the Bianconeri was like a "holiday" rather than anything long term.

Kylian Mbappe has been super fantastic for club and country ,but what does his future hold?

Kylian Mbappe is still too young to buy himself a beer in the U.S., but is a World Cup winner, twice French champion and has a couple of domestic cups in his trophy cabinet at home too. The France forward is the most-talked-about young player in the world and is already among the five best players of any age on the planet right now. And all of that just a month short of his 20th birthday.

It will feel like a long time ago for him but in two weeks, on Dec. 2, Mbappe will celebrate the third anniversary of his professional debut. It was for AS Monaco against Caen: He came on after 88 minutes to replace Fabio Coentrao at age 16 and 347 days to become the club's youngest-ever first-team player, breaking the record set two decades earlier by Thierry Henry.

Since then, so much has happened. The last three years have been an incredible rise for the Parisian, yet the most crucial time for Mbappe is more the three years to come than the three just passed. Of course, emerging on the scene the way he did was spectacular. But his ability to keep improving, reach new heights and establish himself among the greats is an even bigger challenge.

Frustrated Sanchez considering Jan exit

Alexis Sanchez is frustrated with his lack of playing time at Manchester United, and may look to force a January move, according to the Evening Standard.

Part of the reason he chose United over local rivals City was down to the fact he believed he would be an undisputed starter, as opposed to rotating with Leroy Sane, Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling, but the Chilean has made just five starts in 12 Premier League games so far this season.

However, his astronomical wages at Old Trafford appear to be an issue, with few clubs able to offer him the kind of money he is demanding, and PSG only likely to consider a summer move, assuming one of Neymar or Kylian Mbappe leave.

De Gea reluctant to sign new Man Utd deal

Fears are growing at Manchester United as progress is not being made on a new deal for goalkeeper David de Gea, according to The Telegraph.

De Gea's contract expires at the end of next season, and the Spain international is hesitating to sign a new deal with the club struggling on the pitch.

The two superstars are among the favourites to top the Goal 50 once again, but who performed better statistically during the 2017-18 season?

Forget city derbies, Clasicos and revenge games, Cristiano Ronaldo versus Lionel Messi is the greatest rivalry of modern football, and continues to divide opinion. This year saw a major change in the competition between the pair as Ronaldo traded Real Madrid and La Liga for Juventus and Serie A.

Barcelona on worst defensive run in La Liga for 20 years

The Catalan giants have not kept a league clean sheet since they beat Real Vallalodid in their second game of the season

Barcelona conceded a goal for the 10th consecutive La Liga fixture after Real Betis' Junior Firpo struck in the 20th minute on Sunday, their worst defensive run in 20 years.

You have to go back to 1998 when Louis van Gaal was in charge at Camp Nou for a longer run of games without a clean sheet.

But he should not be put into a combined Manchester XI.

Juan Mata has saved Jose Mourinho's Man United career... for now

If there's been one constant throughout Jose Mourinho's managerial career in England, it's been his love of bold substitutions.

Mourinho, perhaps more than any other manager in the modern game, uses his replacements swiftly, decisively and often unusually. He has made substitutions within the first 25 minutes to completely change formation; he has introduced players primarily tasked with communicating tactical messages to teammates; he's made a half-time treble substitution; he even once made a change in the dying minutes to introduce a tall player capable of marking the opposition goalkeeper, who Mourinho suspected would go forward for a late corner.

Galatasaray are interested in the Swiss star, according to Transfer Market Web, as Shaqiri is said to be disapointed with his role at Liverpool.

The Brazilian defender has enjoyed an illustrious career, but it could have been very different

How the Etihad has become like Old Trafford was under Sir Alex Ferguson

Teams regularly appeared beaten before they had set foot on the pitch against the Red Devils, and history is repeating itself across to town

"Even when I was playing for Manchester United, you thought you had teams beaten in the tunnel," Mark Hughes once said.

Under Sir Alex Ferguson there was a very real sense that opposition teams regarded games against Manchester United at Old Trafford as a lost cause before they had even set foot on the pitch. It was a often a case of damage limitation. Don't embarrass yourselves and go home.
