In January's winter transfer window, Manchester United has yet to make any signings or clearances. However, the first player set to leave United during the winter window is becoming increasingly clear: compared to Rashford, Casemiro, and Garnacho, it is Anthony who is closest to departing. On January 17th, multiple media outlets including Spain's Marca and Britain's Daily Mail reported that Manchester United and Betis are accelerating the loan deal for Anthony. The 24-year-old Anthony is considered one of the worst signings in Manchester United's history. In the summer of 2022, United spent a hefty sum of 95 million euros fixed plus 5 million euros variable to bring Anthony from Ajax. Over the course of two and a half years at United, Anthony has never proven his worth. In the 2024-25 season, Anthony made only 13 appearances for United, scoring just 1 goal, with no goals in 7 Premier League matches. Under Amorim, Anthony has had no opportunities. Leaving United to find playing time is the best choice for Anthony. Marca revealed that La Liga's Betis is pushing for the loan deal for Anthony. Last December, Betis contacted United to discuss the loan of Anthony, and by the end of December, Betis had submitted an offer, hoping to secure Anthony on loan during the winter window. United is willing to loan out Anthony but hopes that Betis will increase the loan fee and take on more of the salary. Spanish media reported that Betis is preparing to submit a second offer in hopes of quickly completing the loan deal for Anthony.…

If we were to say that the most outstanding player in Manchester United's attack this season, it would be none other than Amad Diallo, who successfully renewed his contract with the club for a period of 5 and a half years on the 10th. At 4 am Beijing time on January 17th, in the 21st round of the Premier League in the 24-25 season, Manchester United hosted Southampton at home. Amad staged a 12-minute hat-trick in the closing stages, helping the team turn the game around from 0-1 to 3-1, becoming the first since Cristiano Ronaldo. It is hard to imagine that this young key player from Côte d'Ivoire was ranked lower than Anthony under Ten Hag! In this match at Old Trafford, Manchester United did not show the fiery form they should have had at home after the opening. Especially between the 20th and 30th minutes, there were significant problems with Manchester United's midfield control, with a possession rate of only 30%. The popular English talent Dibrin and Ghanaian winger Sulimana did indeed pose a considerable threat to Manchester United's defense, although both were able to approach the opponent's goal on their own, they were not particularly adept at scoring, hence Southampton missed several scoring opportunities in succession. In the 43rd minute of the game, Southampton gained a corner kick opportunity on the left side, Dibrin's header brushed the ball, which then hit Ugart and rebounded into the net, an own goal! Manchester United trailed 0-1 at home! Who could have thought that Manchester United would not have the…

In this round of the highly anticipated Premier League, Manchester United is set to face Southampton at the iconic Old Trafford stadium, where they will play with high morale and determination. Recently, the team has achieved a commendable record of 1 win and 1 draw in the competitive league and thrilling cup matches. In the league, they managed to secure a crucial point against strong opponents through tenacious defense and sharp counterattacks; while in the cup, the players' precise coordination and decisive offense earned them a valuable victory. These two games have undoubtedly proven that the team's form is on the rise. Before the match, head coach Amorim attended a press conference. In front of numerous media flashlights and microphones, he shared his unique and profound insights on the upcoming exciting game and the team's current situation. He meticulously analyzed the recent tactical characteristics and player conditions of the opponent, Southampton, and also candidly discussed the advantages and areas for improvement within the Manchester United squad. He emphasized that after experiencing ups and downs recently, the team is currently in a critical adjustment period, with every player striving their utmost to achieve better results in the coming games. Amorim first focused on the immense pressure the team is facing. He seriously stated, "At a prestigious club like Manchester United, if you didn't win the league title the previous year, then you must claim it the next." Amorim deeply believes that the team urgently needs to reshape and establish a strong sense of pressure to win titles, as this has been…

For Mbappe, since joining Real Madrid, he has always been playing in a center forward position that he doesn't particularly like. This is because Real Madrid's left wing has Vinicius, who helped the team win the Champions League last season. Therefore, Mbappe had to make some compromises and make do with the center forward position. However, fans understand that Mbappe's personality is not one of constant compromise, especially not when it comes to委屈 himself in the center forward position. Now, internal conflicts within Real Madrid have erupted once again, and this time, Spanish media outlets have reported on a new choice made by the club. They believe that Mbappe is a more outstanding player on the left wing rather than needing to cover the entire front line. The consensus within the Real Madrid dressing room also holds that Mbappe has shown even better performance on the left wing. The coaching staff has also requested him to focus more on the left wing. This time, Real Madrid officially announced a change in formation, which will focus on supporting Mbappe. For Mbappe, this is a great victory, especially after a struggling first half of the season. Finally, Real Madrid has given him the status of the team leader, while it is Vinicius who needs to make sacrifices. Vinicius will need to adjust his position, perhaps as the number 10 or on the right wing. Such a decision means that Mbappe is likely to gain both fame and fortune in the future. If he can score 30 goals in a season on the…

On January 17th, Beijing time, in the 21st round of the Premier League, Manchester United hosted Southampton at Old Trafford. Despite an own goal by Ugarte in the first half, Manchester United staged a remarkable comeback in the dying moments of the game, securing a 3-1 victory thanks to a hat-trick by young attacker Diawara. This performance also highlights Real Madrid's foresight. Real Madrid's Sharp Vision! President Florentino Decisively Lets Him Go: 32-Year-Old Discard Sinks, Value Drops from 80 Million to 12 Million. The 22-year-old Diawara has become a key player for Manchester United. This season, he has played 30 games for the Red Devils, starting 19 times, scoring 9 goals and providing 7 assists, making him the team's top scorer and second in assists, with captain Bruno Fernandes contributing 11 assists. No player can stay young forever, but there will always be young players. The talented young player from Ivory Coast, Diawara, represents both the present and future of Manchester United. While Diawara is in his prime, the 10 years older Casemiro has become a marginal player at Manchester United, unable to secure playing time. In the match against Southampton, Casemiro missed out on his third consecutive appearance, while the 21-year-old midfielder Collier made his second consecutive substitute appearance. Since Amorim took over as manager of Manchester United, Casemiro has only played in 6 out of 14 matches, starting 4 times. Amorim is reluctant to use Casemiro, and the Brazilian midfielder is now available for sale. In the summer of 2022, Manchester United paid a transfer fee of 70.7…

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a painful defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the 21st round of the Premier League, with the Gunners securing a 2-1 victory that has reignited title hopes for the £1.1 billion club. The match was filled with tension from the start, as if the atmosphere was taut like a fully drawn bowstring. Tottenham's Son Heung-min broke the deadlock in the 20th minute with a brilliant goal that put Arsenal on the back foot. The Spurs fans erupted in celebration, their cheers echoing around the stadium. Despite their excitement, Arsenal did not falter. They roared back like a lion, launching a counterattack. The home crowd's overwhelming support seemed to whisper, "We cannot lose." Arsenal's resilience was evident throughout the game. Despite trailing on the scoreboard, they remained undeterred, focusing their offensive efforts on Tottenham's defense. In the 34th minute, Mikel Arteta's tactical adjustments paid off, and Arsenal began to display a ferocious attacking momentum. The players grew more courageous with each passing moment, surging forward like an unstoppable torrent towards Tottenham's penalty area. Under this relentless pressure, Tottenham's defense finally cracked, allowing Arsenal to equalize before halftime. The sounds of surprise and joy reverberated through the exhilarating match, with every corner of Wembley Stadium cheering for Arsenal's courage. Tottenham's dejected mood grew heavier in the second half. As their attacks were repeatedly thwarted, their mindset appeared to subtly shift. Although Son Heung-min's individual brilliance still shone, he could no longer guide his team to find their attacking rhythm. The team's coordination became awkward and disorganized, all while…

I'm back, I'm back, Ten Hag! Since being sacked by Manchester United, he hasn't stopped. He has appeared many times to watch games in the Eredivisie and is not a regular at the Westfalenstadion in the Bundesliga. However, Ten Hag has a good relationship with Dortmund's advisor Sammer. Running from the Netherlands to Germany to watch the Yellow Bee's game, it feels like there's something going on. However, last Friday, he came to enjoy Dortmund's home defeat to Leverkusen. Is this to prepare for taking over the team? This possibility is indeed very high. In the 17th round of the Bundesliga, after Dortmund lost 2-4 away to Holstein Kiel (second to last in the Bundesliga points table), according to the latest reports from German Sky Sports and Spanish "Marca", the current Dortmund coach Sahin is very likely to be sacked, and his successor is none other than former Manchester United manager Ten Hag. Isn't that exciting? He was fired by the Red Devils just last October, but only two months later, another big club invited him to coach. It's surprising, isn't it? Could it be that his sacking by Manchester United was an "ancient injustice"? To be fair, the current Manchester United is not a team that a coach can put back on track. They shout about revival every day, and change coaches like watching lanterns. Now they've changed owners, and there are many "uncertain factors" within the club. Although Ten Hag had conflicts with many players during his time at Manchester United and spent a lot of the club's…

It is a shame that 100 medals from the Paris Olympics have been returned due to severe discoloration and oxidation issues. This news has caused widespread mockery from around the world. The medals were made primarily of recycled metals, which are less stable and more prone to oxidation. Additionally, the paint used on the medals was changed for environmental reasons, but this new paint had not been adequately tested, leading to further problems. The Paris Organizing Committee's focus on environmentalism may have come at the cost of medal quality, disappointing athletes who worked hard to earn them. In contrast, the gold medals from the Beijing Olympics, known for their "gold inlay jade," continue to maintain their value and quality. These medals were designed with durability in mind, featuring an invisible protective layer that prevents damage from falls or wear. Even the ribbons on the medals are crafted with unique Chinese techniques, as evidenced by a Russian athlete whose Beijing Olympic medal survived a house fire unscathed. The attention to detail and commitment to quality in the Beijing Olympics reflect the Chinese spirit of craftsmanship and dedication to excellence.

In recent years, the topic of Cristiano Ronaldo's transfers has become an evergreen in the football world. Whether it was his departure from Manchester United or his phenomenal performance in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo always manages to capture everyone's attention. Now, with the new season approaching, discussions about whether he will return to the Premier League have intensified once again. Many top clubs have made moves, especially Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Newcastle, among others. These financially powerful clubs see Ronaldo as a "key figure" to enhance their competitiveness. However, will Ronaldo be tempted? The answer is surprising. According to well-known transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo did not choose to return to the Premier League but instead decided to renew his contract with Al-Nassr and continue playing in Saudi Arabia. This decision shocked many fans and media, especially considering that Ronaldo is nearing 40 years of age. Ronaldo's choice to stay in Saudi Arabia is not just about money. It is reported that Ronaldo's new contract with Al-Nassr has an annual salary of up to 220 million euros, a figure that not only far exceeds Messi's salary in the MLS (60 million euros) but also approaches that of basketball superstar LeBron James. This treatment undoubtedly highlights Ronaldo's special status in the football world and shows that despite his career nearing its end, he still possesses significant earning power. From a competitive standpoint, Ronaldo remains at the top level. This season, he has played 20 times in the Saudi league, scoring 17 goals, and continues to compete for the Golden Boot. Even at…
