Chelsea full-back Filipe Luis is convinced former team-mate Radamel Falcao is better at Manchester United than he was at Atletico Madrid.
Falcao has only managed one goal since joining United at the start of September but Filipe Luis insisted the Colombian striker who he played alongside at Atletico is stronger than when he scored a hat-trick against Chelsea in the 2012 UEFA Super Cup.
Filipe Luis considers Falcao to be the best in the world with his head , while he said the 28-year-old has an insatiable hunger for goals ahead of Sunday s clash between United and Chelsea at Old Trafford.
Falcao is a better striker now than he was at Atletico for sure. He was injured and changed clubs so he wants more. He is not resting right now. He is a tiger and wants to score…
Arsenal should sell polarising playmaker Mesut Ozil and sign Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, according to former Gunners star Marc Overmars.
Ozil has long been a contentious figure at Arsenal, with many supporters underwhelmed by his performances in recent years despite being one of the Premier League s highest-paid players.
The German seemingly failed to endear him to head coach Unai Emery, who afforded Ozil only 20 league starts in 2018-19.
In contrast, Ziyech, a hard-working attacking midfielder, was inspirational in Ajax s run to the Champions League semi-finals and is reportedly available for the relatively low figure of €35million.
Dutchman Overmars who is technical director at Ajax claims he told Arsenal to replace Ozil with Morocco international Z…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford to be ready to rotate roles in Manchester United s frontline next season.
The forward duo were each on target in Wednesday s 4-0 friendly victory over Leeds United as part of the Red Devils pre-season tour.
Manager Solskjaer has deployed both at the focal point of his three-man attack across two matches in Australia, but says he is ready to use them in wider positions too in the forthcoming campaign.
With Marcus, he can play along the frontline, Solskjaer said.
Sometimes he likes to drift to the left, same with Anthony, both of them can play at nine and 11, also together as a pair as a nine and a 10, also sometimes on the right-hand side.
Elite mentality has hit the ground runnin…
Brazilian midfielder Geovanni has signed a new two-year contract with Hull committing him to the club until 2011, the English Premier League side confirmed on Friday.
