Inter Milan hosted AS Roma this weekend as former teammates Chris Smalling and Romelu Lukaku went head-to-head. The Nerazzurri headed into the fixture hoping to claim a lead on the Serie A table as Juventus keep breathing down their necks. But Roma forced the hosts to settle for a stalemate and ultimately shared the spoils…

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suggests Chris Smalling will return to Old Trafford after completing his loan spell in Rome. The Englishman had fallen out with the fans during his time at Old Trafford as he was constantly among the guilty party whenever United leaked goals in. The defender seemed to be unable to find a consistent…

Man Utd’s defense simply hasn’t been in the sort of shape that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have hoped for it to. This is despite the Norwegian gaffer adhering to Sir Alex Ferguson’s maxims and investing heavily in defensive players during the summer transfer window. In spite of that, the Red Devils have now conceded upwards…

Arsenal’s woeful run of form may leave with the departure of Unai Emery, but their defensive woes continue to haunt them. Sokratis Papastathopoulos has looked hardly reliable since the conclusion of last season. Rob Holding hasn’t exactly been the same since returning from his ACL injury, making things worse. New arrival David Luiz has looked…

Chris Smalling is arguably having a better season than much of his former teammates at Manchester United. The English centre-back has been excellent during his loan spell at AS Roma, with mind-boggling statistics to back his return to peak form. The Serie A side is currently in the fifth-place domestically and making large strides to…

Manchester United’s back-line was on the receiving end of some heavy criticism following their latest 3-3 draw against Sheffield United on Sunday.

Manchester United’s pursuit of an experienced striker has led them to Italy as they look to add Edin Dzeko to their young attacking line. The Red Devils were close to signing Mario Mandzukic in the summer but opted not to ultimately. It seems that the Coratian’s inactivity for Juventus has changed the minds at Old…

Manchester United have come under heavy fire this season for their decision to sell Romelu Lukaku and loan out Alexis Sanchez, leaving their frontline shy of clinical attacking options. While the fact that the two players weren’t performing at the best of their abilities and siphoning off immense amounts through their paychecks hasn’t gone unnoticed,…

Manchester United have repeatedly fielded remarkably youthful squads so far this season. The Red Devils under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have managed to incorporate academy graduates quite capably. In fact, the side that won 3-1 against Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday was the youngest United startling lineup since 2017. However, this doesn’t always translate into…

Manchester United’s decision to clear players from their roster has been met with a mixed response so far this season. The sale of Romelu Lukaku and the loaning out of Alexis Sanchez, while clearing expensive talent who weren’t performing regularly, has also severely limited their offensive options up-front. Meanwhile, the loaning out Chris Smalling, while…
