Marcus Rashford is in better shape mentally, there is trouble in Liverpool’s Paradise and Swedish club Arsenal broke a new record.
Here are today’s English football news headlines.
WEEKEND SILLY: Messi to Miami?
Lionel Messi’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires next summer. According to The Athletic, there is one club that has great faith that they will succeed in signing the Argentine: Inter Miami FC, which is owned by David Beckham and managed by Phil Neville.
There have been discussions between the two parties for a long time and the feeling is that the transition could become a reality. Brothers Jorge and Jose Mas, Beckham’s owners, had several meetings with Messi’s father Jorge. The hope is that an agreement can be reached after the toilet.
PSG are said to want to extend the striker’s current contract, but if not, it could be a move to Miami. Something that would be seen as a massive achievement by the club and the entire MLS.
Snacks Weekend: Rashford in Tough Times
In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo’s objection to Gary Neville, yesterday at Old Trafford was all about a much younger striker. Marcus Rashford was responsible for a powerful header that was enough to win 1-0 at West Ham.
This was the 100th goal for the 25-year-old Manchester United. A nice milestone to reach after last season which was tough for him.
The current manager, Erik Ten Hag, arrived this summer after a turbulent stint with first Gunnar Solskjaer and then Ralf Rangnick as interim coach.
“Honestly there is a completely different energy around the entire club and in the training facility now, which puts me in the right state of mind,” Rashford told the Daily Mail.
– I struggled last season, more mental things than my efforts. There were other things out of the plan. Often times I was not in good shape mentally.
Rashford has four goals and three assists so far this season.
Weekend Crisis: Trouble in Heaven for Liverpool
This is the headline that The Mirror published on an article about Jurgen Klopp’s Fabinho outburst. Last Saturday, Liverpool broke their streak in 29 consecutive matches without losing at Anfield against Leeds (1-2). According to the newspaper, the coach expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the Brazilian midfielder, who has not improved so far this season.
For his part, Fabinho did not noticeably react to Klopp’s words, which angered the coach even more. Sky analyst Jamie Carragher added that the player was “invisible like a ghost” on the field.
Case of the week: Willian Bulk Copper PL
Speaking of brass, Willian became the most engaged Brazilian player of all time. The starting place for Fulham’s meeting with Everton (0-0) was his 265 Premier LeagueA match in the profession. The second in the list is Fernandinho with 264 games and the third is Lucas Leiva with 247 games on the account.
Weekend set of recordings: The Swedish team cheers
Arsenal beat West Ham 3-1 in the Women’s Football League yesterday. This means that Jonas Edvall has led the team to 13 consecutive league victories since their 0-0 encounter with Chelsea in February, a new record. Stina Blackstenius contributed and Lina Hurtig jumped with twenty minutes remaining.
Weekend anxiety: Saka came down injured
Unexpectedly (in advance) it is Reiss Nelson who sponsors several sporting events across the country. The 22-year-old jumped after just over half an hour playing for Arsenal’s encounter with Nottingham Forest after Bukayo Saka was forced to step down. After that, Nelson scored two goals and an assist in the 5-0 win.
Mikel Arteta feels relatively calm about Saka’s well-being.
– I hope the restroom is not in danger. It was a strong kick, he was limping but I can’t see beyond that. The coach said he was kicked twice in the foot and ankle.
