Madrid, Feb 22 (Ians) Fc Barcelona travel to Old Trafford on Thursday aiming to keep their European ambitions alive when they take on Manchester United in the second leg of their Europa League tie.
Barca still have options in the tournament after a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou last week, despite being under pressure from United for long periods of the match, and Raphinha’s equalizer from a cross that deceived everyone to end up in the net has left the tie in the balance.
However, if Barca want to avoid another painful (and expensive) early exit from Europe, they will have to end Manchester United’s impressive form at Old Trafford, where the English side is unbeaten in its last 17 home matches; the last time United were beaten at home was against Spanish opposition when Real Sociedad beat them 1-0 on September 8th.
There is good and bad news for Barca on the injury front,...

London, Jan 7 (Ians) A Marcus Rashford-inspired Manchester United booked their place in the Fa Cup fourth round with a 3-1 victory over Everton at Old Trafford.
Rashford was the creator for United’s first two goals before grabbing a well-deserved third late on to seal his side’s progression from a pulsating affair, reports thefa.com.
United had the perfect start after Antony slid home Rashford’s cross after just four minutes only for Conor Coady to level proceedings ten minutes later.
The winger was involved once again as United retook the lead after Coady turned Rashford’s cross into his own net, before the gloss was added with a late penalty.
It had been a nightmare start for the Toffees as they went behind after just four minutes. Rashford cut in from the left after being played through by Anthony Martial, before firing a ball across the face...

As the clock ticks down for the start of the 24th edition of the biggest tournament for the sport also called Joga Bonito — The Beautiful Game — in Qatar on Sunday, the two most successful stars of the last two decades — Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have achieved everything that club football has to offer and who are adored by millions of fans around the world — are facing a threat of joining the above-mentioned legends that have never won the coveted Cup.
The duo have scored numerous goals for their respective mega clubs in Europe and led their national sides with distinction for over a decade. They have won many titles — domestic and in the Continent — for their clubs. But they have also faced much criticism for not being able to win silverware for/with their national teams.

London, Oct 28 (Ians) Defending champions Manchester City visit an improving Leicester City, while Arsenal take on Nottingham Forrest, and new Aston Villa coach Unai Emery could reflect on what might have been when his new club visits Newcastle in the Premier League this weekend.
Consecutive wins have eased the pressure on Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers, but his side now faces a difficult home game against second-placed Manchester City in the first match of the weekend.
Pep Guardiola’s side could be without goal-machine Erling Haaland, who was substituted at halftime in midweek with a foot injury and his absence could help Leicester continue to improve their defensive record.
Chelsea coach Graham Potter returns to face Brighton seven weeks after leaving them to move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea have improved since his arrival, while Potter’s replacement, Roberto De Zerbi has yet to win a game, with just two points...

The champions were 4-0 ahead at half-time after two goals apiece from Foden and Haaland, as United struggled to cope with the pace of their arch-rivals.
Antony got one back for the visitors early in the second half with a fine curling effort.
But Haaland and Foden completed their trebles to put City 6-1 up before Anthony Martial’s close-range header and late penalty reduced the deficit.

London, Aug 28 (Ians) Coach Erik ten Hag is hopeful prolific striker Cristiano Ronaldo will stay at Manchester United.
The Portugal forward has been linked with a move to a Champions League club before Thursday’s transfer deadline and was again left out of Ten Hag’s starting line-up for Saturday’s 1-0 win over Southampton.
Ronaldo came on after Bruno Fernandes had given the visitors the lead and at full-time stopped to salute the raucous United fans, leaving some to speculate he was saying goodbye, reports Dpa.
But Ten Hag said, “We played with him. So we want him to stay. That is what we want. I hope so.”
Ten Hag reiterated his position when asked if he would be satisfied should United not add to their forwards this week, adding: “We have Cristiano Ronaldo, we have Anthony Martial, we have Marcus Rashford, so then we are Ok.”

London, Aug 23 (Ians) Manchester United earned a deserved 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford to kick-start the Erik ten Hag era and leave their rivals winless after three Premier League games.
Ten Hag elected to drop Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire following successive losses to begin the campaign, a decision that was rewarded by a much-improved display, reports Dpa. An incisive move culminated in Sancho calmly slotting past Alisson after 16 minutes as Liverpool conceded first in a club-record seventh consecutive Premier League game.
Marcus Rashford’s goal early in the second half gave United breathing space prior to Mohamed Salah’s header nine minutes from time, which proved a mere consolation.
The hosts’ first-half display was in complete contrast to their 4-0 loss at Brentford, with Anthony Elanga — preferred to Ronaldo — striking the post early on with just Alisson to beat.
United were ahead soon after when Sancho collected Elanga’s pass,...

London, March 8 (Ians) Manchester United ended Manchester City's record breaking 21-game winning run on Sunday when they won 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
A second-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandez and a 50th minute goal from left-back Luke Shaw on Sunday gave United a win that still leaves them 11 points behind their neighbors, but will give them local bragging rights and confidence for the rest of the season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side defended magnificently and were lethal on the break, with Anthony Martial in excellent form in their win, and the only negative for Solskjaer was an ankle injury that forced Marcus Rashford off midway through the second half, Xinhua news agency reports.
Daniel Amartey's header two minutes from time had momentarily lifted Leicester City into second place ahead of United after a 2-1 win away to Brighton on Saturday night.

London, Feb 27 (Ians) Manchester City look to extend their winning run to 20 games on Saturday and widen their lead at the top of the Premier League when they host fourth-placed West Ham.
That game opens a weekend which also offers a fascinating game between Chelsea and Manchester United, while Leicester City face Arsenal and Liverpool will have hopes of returning to winning ways against bottom of the table Sheffield United, Xinhua news agency reported.
The main drawback for Pep Guardiola's City is that the league has given them little recovery time after Wednesday's 2-0 Champions League win away to Borussia Monchengladbach, although with players such as John Stones, Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne on the bench on Wednesday, Guardiola has options to rotate his side against a rival they drew 1-1 with back in October.
With just 14 points from 25 games, West Brom looked destined for a swift return...
