Manchester City and England winger Raheem Sterling has publicly praised Jadon Sancho’s work ethic, while revealing he’s not surprised by just how quickly the 18-year-old forward has eased seamlessly into international football at senior level. Continue reading
Jose Mourinho is widely regarded as one of the world’s best football managers but like everyone else, has made some memorable mistakes and endured tough times at various spells throughout his 18-year managerial spell to date.
Currently the Manchester United manager, the 2018/19 campaign is set to be a significant one for him and his players, as he aims to banish the ‘third-season syndrome’ tag while looking to deliver Premier League silverware back to the red half of Manchester for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement five years ago. Without further ado, here are five low points that have occurred during Mourinho’s managerial career to date:
Despite being favourites, Brazil was knocked out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage after a 2-1 defeat to Belgium. They did so ruing missed opportunities against a side who soaked up pressure well and hit them on the counter, a tactic that crucially exposed the Seleção’s weaknesses without possession.

First-half goals from Leroy Sané, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling helped seal a comfortable away victory for Manchester City – who can now secure this season’s Premier League title with a win over local rivals United next weekend. Continue reading
Goals from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva helped secure Pep Guardiola’s first piece of silverware as Manchester City manager – but how did the players fare at Wembley?
Goals from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva helped secure Pep Guardiola’s first piece of silverware with a dominant display over Arsenal to win this year’s Carabao Cup. The Gunners – who struggled for large periods – seemed to almost relinquish their self-belief after conceding the second.
Plenty of questions will be asked in the aftermath, as the Citizens aim to use this momentum in their quest for the elusive treble while Arsenal disappoint across all fronts as their rivals continue to strengthen. Continue reading
