Every player wants to prove his worth in front of the world especially if he is an aged player and best way to do this is by playing for a big side like Manchester United. Yes, you guessed it right I am talking about Manchester United’s highly successful thirty five plus player Zlatan Ibrahimović who moved to the England rather a Chinese side to prove who he is to the world. The 35-year-old Swedish moved to ManU on a free transfer last summer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain. Talking about his objective of choosing Red Devils over others, he said in great detail, “It's a challenge. A challenge to change the history of a club which already has a great history. In order to raise my level a little, I had to come to England and show to everyone who I am. “It's a different challenge that I like because I'm assuming even more responsibility. If I can win in a situation like this, it means I've done my job well. Plus I already knew Mourinho and what he wants. He motivates you, he tells … [Read more...]
Rooney is staying with us, no in and out for ManU this winter: Jose Mourinho
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho seems to have convinced his captain Wayne Rooney to stay with them that is why Portuguese has loudly said no one is leaving ManU this winter, perhaps, he even says there will be no coming in or going out of Old Trafford. Over the last few weeks, fans were skeptical over the stay of Rooney with them since different stories were hinting different things: while few were linking him with the Chinese club, there were also few media houses who were denying any such move right from the beginning. Now, when Mourinho has made it clear that Rooney will be playing with them for rest of the season, fans can relax a bit as they will continue enjoying the services of club's all-time top scorer earlier for some more time. This is also noteworthy that no such announcement has come from player den but since he as well did not deny what his boss said, it is to be believed a patch-up has been taken place between the two behind the curtains. Replying over the … [Read more...]
Rooney would have been more appreciated in Europe than England: Ferdinand
Every big achievement in soccer is appreciated all around the world not only in the region such player belongs to and if we are talking about Rooney’s recent feat of scoring highest goals for Manchester United then we should assume Englishman would get equal appreciation in Europe as well, perhaps if we look at the way such players are being treated in their later age European sides are much better than their English counterparts and this is what is being felt by many Rooney fans who find their star player in miserable condition after his transfer talks to the Chinese club. The 38-year-old defender Rio Ferdinand is one such player who is surprised to see the treatment Rooney is getting despite being the highest goals scorer for ManU, maybe he is having some problem with his bosses else how is it possible that a legendary player of his class decides to move outside after surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton's Manchester United mark with his 250th goal for the club? Since Ferdinand has … [Read more...]
Paul Pogba refuses to accept there is any link between transfer fee and goals scored
Every time there is a priciest transfer in soccer, every eye starts staring over the performance of such a highly priced player expecting he would be outstanding in his first season itself. But it is also true that there could never be such a performance from anyone no matter what the price tag he is carrying with him and experts defend it saying anyone needs time to settle down in a new environment. Manchester United’s £89.3 million Paul Pogba is one such player who could not meet the expectations United fans had raised from him after his high profile transfer from Juventus last summer and if we look at his performance since then he could only score four goals and recorded three assists in 20 Premier League appearances which is way too average from a player of his class. Specifically talking about Sunday game where he gave away a penalty for handball as United drew 1-1 with rivals Liverpool, it looks like his confidence level is also down in the pressing atmosphere he is playing in … [Read more...]

Manchester United’s 35-year-old Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic is one such player who has recently been in the limelight for his 11th Swedish Player of the Year award on Monday and six goals in 11 Premier League matches this season, and since ManU show in the season has been like a disaster, it is being taken as the noteworthy contribution from a thirty five year old player despite having many world class young players in the side including Pogba who recently become the priciest player for the Red Devils. At this time, it is obvious Ibrahimovic would get support from his colleagues who have played with him in the past and former English captain David Beckham is one such player who has openly applauded the contribution made … [Read more...]
