Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has suggested that Dani Alves could pursue a move away from Paris Saint-Germain in the future. The Brazil international left the Bianconeri after just one season to join Les Parisiens earlier in the summer, but Chiellini fancies a similar repeat at the French capital.
Speaking to Premium Sport, Bonucci spoke fondly about his time with Alves, but stressed that it won’t be long before he pushes for a fresh challenge in his illustrious career, he said: “That’s what Dani is like. I think he will leave Paris Saint-Germain too, because he always needs new challenges. There is a lot of respect here for him, as he left good memories.”

Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar has identified Mohamed Salah as one of the players, who could standout at next summer’s World Cup finals in Russia. The Egypt international joined Liverpool on a club-record deal from AS Roma in the summer, and he has since been in splendid form for club and country.

Speaking to Globoesporte, Neymar highlighted the main contenders for the World Cup, whilst given a special mention for Salah, he said: “The most well-known contenders [to win the World Cup] are the usual favourites.

Brazilian midfielder Anderson believes that Brazil will have a tough campaign at the next World Cup in Russia. He said that he does not understand why many people are making Brazil the favourite to win the tournament as there are some stronger teams that will be taking part in the tournament.
The Brazilian player who currently plays in the Brazilian league with Coritiba Football Club said that it is true that the national team has improved since their last World Cup but there are far from being a team capable of winning the trophy.
Manchester United made it a frustrating homecoming for Wayne Rooney as they thrashed Everton 4-0 at Old Trafford on Super Sunday.
United’s all-time leading goal scorer watched his former team-mates take an early lead thanks to a fantastic strike from Antonio Valencia with just four minutes on the clock before late goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Romelu Lukaku, who was scoring against his former club, and Anthony Martial put further gloss on the victory.

Steven Anderson does not blame new Gers player Ryan Jack for the Murray Park incident that sidelined him for a month and made him miss out of featuring in Europe for St Johnstone.
“It was accidental. Ryan Jack didn’t mean it. There was nothing malicious about the tackle and he was quick to apologize. These things happen in football. He just slipped and my leg was planted. So I was fortunate I didn’t do more damage to the knee,” he said when asked if he blames the Rangers new boy.
Anderson said the team thought the injury would be worse but that they were all relieved when the scan results returned informing them it was just bone bruising. He admitted that missing European football was “frustrating” and that not being available for the Trakai match was “more depressing.” Continue reading ANDERSON NOT BLAMING RYAN JACK
Former Manchester United favourite Anderson released an emotional statement on his Instagram account stating that he would not be making the team for Michael Carrick’s testimonial.
Anderson was part of the 2007/08 United squad which celebrated Champions League glory, and the 29-year-old spoke of his sadness on missing out on Carrick’s testimonial owing to an injury, he is currently nursing.
“I would like to tell you that it was an honour be invited to participate in tour testimonial. I was delighted and excited to be back and join my previous teammates and also the magnificent Manchester United supporters, but unfortunately, I will not be able to celebrate this important and significant day in your life. I feel sad for that and please apologise me, but my injury needs treatment that I can’t fail to be prepared and recovered for the next important games of my team,” he said via an Instagram post.
Anderson never really realised his full potential in the United shirt, and he was often found on the substitutes’ bench with the likes of Paul Scholes and Carrick himself getting the nod for the midfield roles. The Brazilian also had his fitness issues over the years, and he slowly fell out of favour after Alex Ferguson ended his long-term association with the club.
The former Porto man is currently plying his trade for Brazilian club Coritiba for whom he joined from Internacional on loan earlier in the year. Moving down to a lower division often hinders a player’s national team prospects, but Anderson could still maintain a ray of hope for a future comeback as local talents are often monitored by their national team bosses.
On March 16 of 2017, Manchester United claimed a 1-0 triumph over Rostov and with an aggregate scoreboard of 2-1, it’s just barely enough for the English Premier League club to snatch a position in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Manchester United on the other hand, is sitting on 5th place with 52 points but they have only played 27 matches so far. Even if Manchester United are able to claim victories in the matches that they have not been able to play, it’s still extremely far-fetch to believe that Jose Mourinho and his squad will be able to stop Chelsea from winning this season of the Premier League.
Jose Mourinho is well aware that for Manchester United to emerge as the new champions of England is almost non-existent and the Portuguese coach has recently stated that he is going to try and focus on other competitions instead.
“If I can choose, I will choose the Europa League rather than to finish fourth because it gives us the same, Champions League football. It is a trophy, it is prestige, it is Europe and it means playing a European Super Cup fixture next year.” Manchester United’s Jose Mourinho said.
Even though Manchester United’s chances of finishing in the top 2 positions of the English Premier League, Jose Mourinho is still aiming to win other pieces of silverware and his main focus right now is the Europa League and if United are indeed able to win the Europa League, they will earn a ticket to compete in the next edition of the Champions League.
Brent Anderson has moved to Brigham Young University (BYU) as the assistant women’s soccer coach of BYU athletics.
“I am deeply grateful to all those that I’ve been blessed to associate with during my time at UVU. The administrators, coaches, trainers, advisors, staff and athletes are second to none, they are simply amazing people. We have experienced extraordinary growth over the past decade and created so many special moments and memories that will stay with me forever.
“I need to express my gratitude to all of my student athletes for their trust, hard work and investment to build the program and achieve both academically and athletically here at UVU. I am looking forward to all they will accomplish in the future,” the outgoing boss said.
Anderson would be a loss to the programme at UVU, being the most successful hand in the programme’s history. He recently led UVU to their third consecutive 10-plus victories. This is aside leading them to their best season in 2015, winning a school-record 14 matches. He earned the WAC Coach of the Year award after he led the team to its first-ever WAC tournament title and the NCCA championship.
UVU athletics director Vince Otoupal thanked the outgoing coach profusely.
“I would like to thank Brent for his dedication to Utah Valley and our student-athletes during the past 11 years. He has taken our women’s soccer program to new heights throughout his tenure at UVU. The impact his student-athletes have had on the UVU community cannot be overstated.”
He added that Anderson was leaving the programme in “excellent shape” however it would be difficult for any appointee to fit into his shoes.
