[ad_1] Charlotte FC have completed the transfer of forward Daniel Rios to Liga MX side Chivas. Rios has departed for an undisclosed fee after notching seven goals and two assists in 27 MLS appearances during CLTFC’s inaugural season. Prior to playing in Charlotte, Rios two years with Nashville SC. “It was a pleasure to see Dani’s skills evolve throughout the year and make a strong impact on the field late in the season, which is a testament to the type of player development we’re building at Charlotte FC,” sporting director Zoran Krneta said in a club press release. “Everyone at the club thanks Dani forRead More →

[ad_1] Marcus Rashford has revealed that he’s aiming to beat his season-best tally of 22 goals during the 2022/23 campaign. The Manchester United forward has been in fantastic form in recent months for both club and country, scoring three World Cup goals in Qatar and 10 for his club to boot. Rashford was once again in the goals on Tuesday evening in Man Utd’s comfortable 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest – scoring the opener from a training ground routine corner kick. Speaking about the goal to Amazon Prime, Rashford revealed that Man Utd worked on exploiting a weakness that was spotted while they were analysingRead More →

[ad_1] Goals from Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Fred were enough for Man Utd as they cruised to a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. The Red Devils were far and away the better team throughout the contest and probably should’ve won by five or six. As expected, it was all Man Utd in the early proceedings and the home side came close to opening the scoring inside the opening five minutes. After some neat interplay between Christian Eriksen and Bruno Fernandes in and around the penalty area, the ball was played to the onrushing Aaron Wan-Bissaka who was able to find fellowRead More →

[ad_1] Chelsea manager Graham Potter has confirmed that the injury suffered by Reece James in the 2-0 win over Bournemouth is ‘in the same area’ as his previous knee concern. The wing-back was in brilliant form in his first game since suffering a knee injury in early October in Chelsea’s Champions League trip to AC Milan – a knee injury which meant he had to miss England’s 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign – causing the visitors a number of issues with his bombing runs forward. After one half of football however, James indicated that he’d suffered a knock in the opening five minutes of theRead More →

[ad_1] Chelsea have been one of the Premier League’s biggest underachievers so far this season, a team that does not deserve the ‘world champions’ tag which they technically still retain. The Blues looked stale in the last weeks of Thomas Tuchel’s tenure, and after enjoying Graham Potter’s new manager bounce, they quickly reverted to their 2022 type – a stale squad that looked sick to the back teeth of each other. Heading into the World Cup break, their bloated roster was seen as a strange amalgamation of Roman Abramovich’s win-now regime and the scattergun approach overseen in Todd Boehly’s first summer. The hope was thatRead More →

[ad_1] It looked as though Brazil had overcome what had been a turgid and grinding test when Neymar netted to put the Selecao 1-0 up in extra time in their World Cup quarter-final against Croatia. A late Bruno Petkovic equaliser and subsequent penalty shootout defeat, however, brought all euphoria and relief crashing down. An expectant Brazil gunning for a sixth star had been knocked out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage; and, after six years at the helm, Tite gave up the reins. Attentions are now on a long-term successor and, discounting the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti, 90minRead More →

[ad_1] Lille striker Jonathan David has admitted he cannot see himself playing anywhere other than the Premier League, as the Canadian international nears an exit from Ligue 1. The 22-year-old scored 15 league goals last season and already has nine this time around, having established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in France and one of the most intriguing attackers around. Interest in David has not been in short supply. Arsenal and Manchester United have been linked in the past, while 90min understands that Chelsea manager Graham Potter has expressed an interest in the Lille forward. David has previously admitted he would beRead More →

[ad_1] Full-back was once the most undesirable position in football. As Jamie Carragher crudely put it on Monday Night Football back in 2013: “Nobody wants to grow up to be a Gary Neville”. Carragher was suggesting that no aspiring footballer desired to be a conservative full-back who rarely ventured forward and whose primary focus was defending. The former Liverpool defender would add that full-backs were either failed wingers or failed centre-halves. At the time, there was certainly a lot of truth in Carragher’s sentiment. But the role of the full-back, as a result of samba influence and Pep Guardiola, has evolved drastically in a relativelyRead More →

[ad_1] Inter are readying a contract offer for France international Marcus Thuram as they look to persuade him to move to Serie A in 2023, 90min understands. Thuram’s deal is up at the end of the season and he has already confirmed to his club Borussia Monchengladbach that he will not be signing a new contract. Gladbach had a similar situation in January 2022 when they sold star midfielder Denis Zakaria rather than let his deal run down, and while they would like to sell Thuram, Inter don’t want to pay a transfer fee for him. Inter have prepared a pre-contract offer, and sources haveRead More →

[ad_1] The agent of Real Madrid and France superstar Karim Benzema has added further fuel to the fire surrounding the striker’s feud with the French national team by claiming he was fit to play for the majority of the World Cup. Benzema picked up an injury shortly before the beginning of the tournament in Qatar and France quickly ruled him out of the entire competition as a result, although Benzema was never formally removed from the squad. There was speculation that the 35-year-old would return for the final against Argentina as the French squad suffered from a bug which threatened to rule several players outRead More →
