The status of David De Gea’s future at United is still up in the air, and Louis van Gaal is in a difficult posisiotn because of it. Previously, former Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes, who has played second fiddle to De Gea, was expected to take over should his compatriot leave for Spain. However, Valdes and van Gaal have butted heads and the keeper's place on the team seems to be all but gone.
The transfer window is far from being closed, and the trades are going strong in the Premier League with the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool already spending upwards of £100 million. Yet, title holders Chelsea have not made any big headlines in recent weeks regarding transfers.
Looking at Cristiano Ronaldo, “insecure” is hardly the first word that comes to mind.
Ignoring all of the keyboard-psychologists out there, the man just doesn’t seem to have that much to be self conscious about. Success has been good to him. He is incredibly rich and one of the two best footballers in the world. If he wanted to, he could probably build a sun dial out of caviar and willing swimsuit models.
The draw of Louis van Gaal is apparently as strong as ever, according to new Manchester United signing Memphis Depay.
In a summer that has seen Manchester United run rampant with player acquisitions, the one that started it all has detailed what set Manchester United apart from the other teams vying for his signature.
As Chile continue to celebrate their home Copa America win, the tide begins to shift from national to club football. In a penalty shootout win over Lionel Messi and Argentina, some Chilean players have been granted a rest period by their parent clubs.
When we go to Las Vegas, we tend to come back penniless and missing a kidney, having had to sell one of ours in order to get back home because, again, we're penniless. Las Vegas is an inhospitable place where dreams go to die and money is sucked out of our wallets as if Vegas is employing an industrial vaccuum.
The first match of the International Champions Cup has concluded with the LA Galaxy walking away with a 2-1 victory over Club America. Not only was it the first match of the tournament, it was the first appearance for Steven Gerrard at his new Californian club. Seeing him outside of Anfield in a white, blue and yellow shirt was a little hard on the eye and will take more than forty-five minutes to become accustomed to.
Ronaldinho has announced his return to Brazil, where he will likely finish his career.
The former World Player of the Year has signed with Rio de Janeiro-based club Fluminense.
This is Ronaldinho's fourth Brazilian club, having also played for Atletico Mineiro, Gremio and Flamengo. He was briefly thought to have signed with Turkish club Antalyaspor before signing with Fluminense.
What a week it's been for Jordan Henderson. The 25-year-old midfielder was officially named Steven Gerrard's replacement as Liverpool captain Friday.
That same day, it was also announced that Henderson had won a fan vote to join Lionel Messi on the cover of the U.K. version of FIFA 16.
Steven Gerrard has been nothing if not genuine as he readies for his MLS debut. That, and funny.
“I’m not David Beckham," Gerrard said. "I'm not as good looking as him.”
