6. Paul Pogba blasts Manchester United's approach to home matches: 'We are here to attack'

For weeks now, Paul Pogba has given the impression of a man with an awful lot to get off his chest. It has become a familiar pattern and, when asked if there needed to be far more movement ahead of him, Pogba gave a wry laugh before eventually abandoning any attempt at diplomacy.

7. Frank Lampard: I am taking baby steps compared to Jose Mourinho

Frank Lampard has been struggling with sleepless nights ahead of his encounter with Jose Mourinho, the manager he still believes is the Special One. It is the latest addition to the Lampard family, baby daughter Patricia, who has been occupying the early hours for the Derby manager as he dreams up a strategy to combat Mourinho in an intriguing Carabao Cup tie at Old Trafford. Mourinho was in contact with his former Chelsea midfielder last week to offer his congratulations, but on Tuesday they will face each other in the technical area, in a battle of the mentor versus the protégé.

8. Modric wins world player of year, ends Ronaldo-Messi duopoly

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were far from the auditorium by the River Thames when Luka Modric broke their decade-long grip on FIFA's award for the world's best player. Football's biggest individual accolade was handed to the 33-year-old playmaker on Monday night in recognition of a year when he led Croatia to its first World Cup final and won a fourth Champions League title in five seasons with Real Madrid. "It is very important, because for such a small country to win the best player award, it's something amazing and that shows other small countries that everything is possible," Modric said.

10. Jose Mourinho tells Paul Pogba he will never captain Manchester United again

Paul Pogba’s fractured relationship with Jose Mourinho hit an all-time low on Tuesday after the Manchester United manager told the France midfielder in front of team-mates that he will never captain the club again. Mourinho broke the bombshell news to his stunned squad at United’s Carrington training ground after reacting furiously to Pogba’s criticism of the team’s tactics at Old Trafford in the wake of Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The United manager is thought to have accused Pogba of believing he is bigger than the club as the Portuguese’s patience with his club record £89 million signing finally snapped.

11. Manchester United's on-field slip-ups fail to slow financial juggernaut

The forecast comes despite the club having dropped off the pace in the new Premier League season, sitting seventh in the table, eight points behind leaders Liverpool and six adrift of cross-town rivals and reigning champions Manchester City. United, whose squad includes French World Cup winner Paul Pogba, Spain goalkeeper David de Gea and Chile forward Alexis Sanchez, said revenue is expected to be between 615 million pounds and 630 million pounds in the year to next June. "Our increased revenue expectation for the year demonstrates our continued strong long-term financial performance which underpins everything we do and allows us to compete for top talent in an increasingly competitive transfer market," Executive Vice Chairman Ed Woodward said in a statement.

13. Mourinho warned Man Utd face 'devastating' tumble out of top four

Jose Mourinho’s inconsistent Manchester United side are facing the “devastating” threat of failing to finish inside the Premier League’s top four, according to Sam Allardyce. The Red Devils have shown glimpses of what they are capable of this season, with a three-game winning streak having eased some of the pressure which had been building prior to the international break. Allardyce knows all about the challenges of top-flight competition from time spent with the likes of Bolton, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Everton and he believes United may be in danger of falling short in their efforts to secure a Champions League berth for 2019-20.

15. Carragher: Arsenal and Manchester United favourites to miss out on top four spot

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher feels that Arsenal and Manchester United are the two sides that are most likely to miss out on a place in the top four this season.

Manchester City remain unbeaten after a 5-0 victory away at Cardiff, whilst Tottenham and Arsenal are both on 12 points after wins against Brighton and Everton, respectively.

16. Sky's shares jump after Comcast wins auction with big bet

19. Ramos never apologised for Champions League final elbow – Karius

Loris Karius has revealed that Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos failed to apologise for elbowing the Liverpool goalkeeper during the Champions League final earlier this year. Karius, however, failed to regain the confidence of manager Jurgen Klopp and has since been shipped out to Besiktas on an extended loan deal in a bid to rebuild his career. While he is not willing to say whether he felt Ramos inflicted his injury deliberately, he is simply trying to cope with the aftermath.

20. Messi and Ronaldo to decide world's best young player

Alvaro Morata may find himself stuck behind Olivier Giroud in the Chelsea pecking order, says Ron ‘Chopper’ Harris, with the out-of-sorts Spanish striker missing “some unbelievable chances”. The Blues invested heavily when bringing the former Real Madrid and Juventus forward to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2017, with a club-record fee required to secure his services. Morata did deliver 15 goals during his debut campaign, but he struggled for consistency and has been unable to rediscover his spark this term after opting against cutting short his stay in west London.

25. Hazard enjoying Chelsea life under ‘great manager’ Sarri

Football clubs are starting to tap the potential of blockchain technology as an innovative way to deal with longstanding issues such as ticket scalping, fan engagement and the payment of players' salaries.

31. Lacazette & Aubameyang are Wenger's biggest legacy at Arsenal - Keown

The signings of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are “Arsene Wenger’s biggest legacy at Arsenal”, according to Martin Keown.

33. English Premier League Week 6 Review: 5 Things We Learned

From the team proving they belong at this level to the title challengers breaking records, here are five things we learned from the weekend’s Premier League action. Wolves belong at this level Last season’s Championship winners secured an impressive 1-1 draw at Old Trafford to enhance their growing Premier League reputation. Wolves are the only side to take points of Manchester City so far this season and followed it up with a confident performance at Manchester United. This is not a vintage United side by any means, but it still isn’t an easy place to go to and Wolves recovered well after going a goal behind. The equalizer, from midfield maestro Joao Moutinho, was a fantastic strike into the

The 117th Clásico Regimontano on the pitch was overshadowed by the violence off the pitch before the match, as a Tigres fan was very seriously injured in a clash between a set of Tigres fans and a set of Rayados fans. Revolting scenes of violence shouldn’t have a place in football matches in the 21st century, and yet here we are. Monterrey, who had swtiched to a 4-3-3 formation after suffering a few devastating injuries to Avilés Hurtado and Jonathan Urretaviscaya the previous week, welcomed Rogelio Funes Mori back to the starting line-up. Los Rayados went with a three man midfield of Jonathan Gonzalez, Jesús Molina, and Celso Oritz, a change from the previous 4-2-3-1 that they had used for almost the entire season.

48. Agnelli: New club competition important despite little value

A third European club competition will have “little commercial value,” European Club Association chairman Andrea Agnelli said Monday, but it will still be important for smaller teams seeking to increase their exposure. It would be played in addition to the Champions League and the Europa League. “It’s difficult to see commercial value when you look at a third-tier competition because there is very little commercial value, but sometimes we have to listen to our fellow club members who want to participate more,” Agnelli said at a soccer conference in the Spanish capital. The Juventus president said there were initial discussions about expanding the Europa League from 48 teams to 64, but the consensus was that it would ultimately hurt the second-tier competition which already “struggles” commercially compared to the Champions League.

49. Jordan Henderson: We Can Always Improve

The Red Men are on a veritable roll right now. Winning their first seven matches in all competitions is standard setting for the club, a feat that hasn’t ever been accomplished in their 126 year existence. The craziest thing is that by all accounts, the performances haven’t even been all that great compared to how the team ended last season. Everyone knows it, and knows improvements are to come, especially captain Jordan Henderson. Henderson himself had been held back while he regained Klopp’s preferred fitness level after a summer spent toiling in Russia for England, and has only made a couple starts since the beginning of the season. So he’s had the luxury almost of watching this team evolve

The 2016 AFC Player of the Year had been linked with some of Europe's big clubs since bursting onto the international scene at the 2012 Olympics and a subsequent contract offer from Manchester City.
