At 4 AM, Manchester United's Annual Finale! Amorim Under Pressure: A Loss Could Create Six Humiliations Beijing time, December 31 at 4 AM, the 19th round of the Premier League sees Manchester United host Newcastle. With B Fee and Ugart suspended, Manchester United's annual finale is set to be a tough match. For coach Amorim, losing this game would create six humiliating records. ‌[B Fee Suspended, Double Core Absence in Manchester United's Midfield]‌ In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 0-2 to Wolves, with B Fee receiving a red card and thus suspended for this match; Uruguayan midfielder Ugart received his fifth yellow card of the season and will also miss the game against Newcastle. The double core of Manchester United's attack and defense, B Fee and Ugart, are both absent, along with Lindelof, Mount, and Luke Shaw, as five players from the Red Devils are out of action. The last time Manchester United lost at home in the league to Newcastle was in December 2013, when Moyes led the team to a 0-1 defeat. This is also the only time in the last 39 league home games that the Red Devils have failed to beat the Magpies. However, in the fourth round of last season's League Cup, Newcastle defeated Manchester United 3-0 at the Theater of Dreams, leaving Ten Hag helpless. ‌[Can't Afford to Lose! A Loss for Manchester United Would Create Six Humiliating Records]‌ After 18 Premier League matches, Manchester United has only managed to secure 22 points, ranking 14th. They trail Liverpool at…

Nottingham Forest has climbed to second place in the Premier League after a 2-0 away victory over Everton, evoking memories of their past glory as European champions. The first goal was assisted by Anthony Elanga, who joined from Manchester United, with a header relay and one-two pass with striker Chris Wood, culminating in Wood's lobbed shot into the net. Elanga also played a part in the second goal, again teaming up with Wood, this time through a foot-pass, with Wood assisting Gibbs-White to secure the win. In his last four games, Elanga has contributed three goals and one assist, including scoring in three consecutive matches, playing a crucial role in Nottingham Forest's rise to the top four of the league table. Since leaving Manchester United for Forest, the 22-year-old winger has been involved in 20 goals in the Premier League, with a record of eight goals and 12 assists in 55 games and 3484 minutes, averaging a goal contribution every 174 minutes. Erik ten Hag sold Elanga to Nottingham Forest after bringing in his favorite player, Antony, who has scored and assisted fewer goals than Elanga in the same period. This is not to say that Elanga is superior to Antony, but rather to illustrate how well a player can perform after leaving Manchester United. So why couldn't he achieve the same at United? At Manchester United, Elanga played 39 Premier League games, mainly under interim manager Ralph Rangnick, with only three goals and three assists in 1791 minutes, contributing to a goal every 298 minutes, far less impressive than…

Manchester United spent 50 million euros to bring in Andre Onana, only to find that they had acquired another De Gea! The Cameroonian international goalkeeper, once considered a "revolutionary goalkeeper," was supposed to improve the team's passing and control but ended up relying on miraculous saves to attract attention. His number of low-level mistakes is not inferior to De Gea's during his declining state at the end of his tenure with the Red Devils, with unpredictable ups and downs in form. In recent matches, both Manchester United's starting and substitute goalkeepers have been directly scored against from corners, causing concern for head coach Ruben Amorim. Although bringing in a new goalkeeper is not the top priority in the transfer plan, the club is evaluating new goalkeepers and must at least introduce a more capable new signing to provide necessary competition for Onana. The 28-year-old Onana was praised at the beginning of the season for his multiple heroic saves that saved Manchester United, but recently he has made headlines for various errors. In the Premier League clean sheet rankings, he has been surpassed by Pickford of Everton, David Raya of Arsenal, and Mats Zelis of Nottingham Forest. Regarding whether he was fouled in the game against Wolves, former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher explained that the opponent player Matt Doherty stood next to Onana first and did not actively move his position, so it was not a foul. "The rules allow players to choose their positions; he stood still without any foul actions," Gallagher said. "In fact, it was Onana who…

This summer, when Thiago Motta stepped into the Allianz Stadium with great ambition, he never expected that half a year later, the team he coached, the traditional Serie A powerhouse Juventus, would remain undefeated in the league after more than half the season, but the record of 7 wins and 10 draws in 17 games was particularly embarrassing. The once fluid and dynamic offense seen in Bologna was nowhere to be found, and Juventus' sluggish offensive performance matched the club's nickname - "the old lady" - so perfectly! Juventus' main center forward, Vlahovic, has performed mediocrely under Motta. The Serbian star is Juventus' highest-valued player at a staggering 70 million euros. In 15 Serie A appearances, he has only scored 7 goals and contributed 1 assist, barely reaching an acceptable level, which does not match his high price tag. The lack of offensive power is a pain point for Motta, and he is bound to make moves in the upcoming winter transfer window, especially in the forward position. This season, the Premier League giants Manchester United have had many ups and downs. After replacing Dutch coach Ten Hag mid-season, the Portuguese young coach took office but did not bring substantial changes to the team, and even caused a series of turmoil. They will handle a batch of players in the winter window to rebuild the team. Ten Hag's important signing, Onana, has been inconsistent since arriving at Old Trafford. He made mistakes in matches against Nottingham Forest and Viktoria Plzen, and then directly conceded a goal from a corner on…

Portuguese full-back Nuno Mendes' renewal rumors with Paris Saint-Germain have been ongoing for a long time. In November, Skira exclusively reported that Nuno Mendes was about to reach a renewal contract with Paris, which would end in 2029; at the beginning of December, Le Parisien also stated that the renewal was imminent and would be announced by the end of the year. Now, it is already the end of December, and the winter transfer window is about to open, but the renewal between Nuno Mendes and Paris Saint-Germain is still at an impasse. In fact, there has always been some discussion about Mendes' renewal with Paris. Nuno Mendes has been playing for Paris for three seasons. He was signed by Paris Saint-Germain for a buyout fee of 38 million euros from Sporting Portugal. After signing with Paris, according to disclosures from multiple media outlets and salary statistics, Nuno Mendes' weekly salary is only 27,000 euros, which is slightly higher than the graduates of the youth training program at Paris Saint-Germain. However, Nuno Mendes is now the main left-back for Paris and has even been selected for the Portuguese national team, making this salary seem somewhat meager. Below is a salary table posted by some Paris fans, who also complain about Nuno Mendes' low salary. So, what kind of contract can Nuno Mendes get in Paris? This depends on how they negotiate. If the salary is not satisfactory, Nuno Mendes may feel that Paris is treating him unfairly, and it would not be surprising if he seeks to leave the team.…

Former Manchester United coach reveals why Ten Hag 'insisted' on signing his £82m flop Erik ten Hag, former Manchester United manager.‌ Benni McCarthy, a former Manchester United coach, has explained why former head coach Erik ten Hag insisted on "keeping" the £82 million flop Antony.‌ Last month, Manchester United had a dismal start to the 2024/25 season, ranking 14th in the Premier League, leading to ten Hag's dismissal.‌ The Dutchman achieved success in his first season at Manchester United but performed poorly in the 2023/24 season, with the team finishing eighth in the Premier League.‌ Ten Hag retained his position after winning the FA Cup last season, but the decision by INEOS to keep the head coach was quickly proven foolish as their struggles in the 2023/24 season continued into the start of this season.‌ The former Ajax boss failed in several key areas, as he was unable to implement a clear playing style and the team made several poor signings.‌ Antony, who joined Manchester United for an initial transfer fee of £82 million in the same summer as ten Hag, has become one of the worst signings in Manchester United's history because his value has fallen far short of expectations.‌ After Ruben Amorim joined, Manchester United made some positive progress, but due to losing four out of nine games in all competitions, the team ranked 13th in the Premier League.‌ McCarthy, who worked with ten Hag at Manchester United, revealed the reason why the head coach "insisted on playing Antony."‌ ‌"Tactically, when we were making plans, the head coach…

On December 27th, local time, Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo (Cristiano Ronaldo) attended the "15th Dubai International Sports Conference" held in Dubai, UAE, and also received two trophies. The 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was named the "Best Middle East Player" and also won the "Historic Top Scorer Award". Cristiano Ronaldo attended the award ceremony with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and his eldest son Mini Ronaldo. It can be seen that the 14-year-old boy is growing well, and his height is almost as tall as his father. Although many football stars gathered at the event that day, such as England's rising star Jude Bellingham, Brazilian veteran Neville, etc., Cristiano Ronaldo undoubtedly shone the most, and coupled with Georgina sitting next to him, this couple was hard not to attract the audience's attention. Some commentators say that by looking at the eyes of 21-year-old Bellingham looking at Cristiano Ronaldo, you can tell that he is the role model he is pursuing. That night, the 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo not only received awards but also accepted a long interview, talking about personal development and views on global clubs, focusing on his old club Manchester United, and making eloquent remarks about the current old powerhouse that has fallen into the mud. Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Manchester United twice in his career. The first time he created glory, which also laid a good foundation for his personal career; the second time he returned, he was warmly welcomed, but it ended unhappily. It is said that after publicly falling out with Erik ten Hag, he was ostracized at…

On December 28, 2024, the Global Football Awards ceremony was held in Dubai. Cristiano Ronaldo became one of the big winners at this event, receiving two major awards: Best Middle East Player of the Year and Best Goalscorer in History. The 39-year-old Ronaldo attended the ceremony with his 30-year-old partner, Georgina, drawing attention. During his acceptance speech, Ronaldo's words sparked a heated discussion: "It is a very pleasant thing to receive this award. My eldest son (Mini Ronaldo) is here, and my wife (Georgina) is also here. She will always be my closest supporter. I am about to turn 40, but my football journey is not over yet. I still want to win championships and score goals." The focus of "The Daily Mail" and "The Sun" was on the word "wife" - Ronaldo publicly referred to Georgina as his "wife," rather than "lover" or "fiancée." In the blink of an eye, Ronaldo and Georgina have been together for 8 years. Over these years, Georgina's identity has been "Ronaldo's girlfriend," following him from Real Madrid to Juventus, then to Manchester United and Al-Nassr. Ronaldo's mansion in the affluent area of La Finca in Madrid is also being transferred to Georgina's name. "The Daily Mail" points out that in just 2024 alone, Ronaldo has publicly declared Georgina as his "wife" at least three times. At the beginning of this year, Ronaldo talked about his life on the WHOOP program: "Every morning, I drink a cup of coffee, talk to my children, talk to my wife, and start a new day." In August,…

In an interview with Amazon Prime ahead of the match against Everton, Pep Guardiola admitted that Manchester City need to sign players in January. Guardiola said: "If possible, we must bring in new signings, definitely, definitely. We are struggling at the moment, especially in defense and midfield positions. I believe the team has to buy new players, but I don't know what will happen. The winter transfer window is not easy, everyone understands. Even the players are asking 'Will we buy anyone?!'" Antony's agent, Pedroso, told GIVEMESPORT that many clubs are interested in signing his client in January. Pedroso said: "Yes, many clubs have contacted us about signing Antony in January. These teams want to understand Antony's situation, so I can confirm that there is indeed substantial interest. To be honest, Manchester United has never expressed a plan to sell or loan out Antony to us, we haven't received such information. It can be said that Antony's future is closely related to the interests of Manchester United. If the club thinks it would be good to loan him out for training next month, then we will discuss this possibility together. Otherwise, Antony will strive to compete for his position under the new coach Amorim." In an interview with Amazon Prime, Van Dijk stated that he can maintain his peak form for another 3-4 years, with his contract expiring next year. The Liverpool captain said: "I love this club, the club loves me, I love the fans here, and the fans love me, which is a very good foundation for success.…
