Man United Outclassed By PSG

Ole

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident Manchester United’s 2-0 Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain will not define theirseason.

Second-half goals from Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe mean that the French champions have a healthy advantage going into the second leg at the Parc des Princes in three weeks’ time. United were dealt further blows with Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial having to be withdrawn, as well as Paul Pogba being sent off before the final whistle due to picking up a second yellow card

Solskjaer admitted PSG’s 2-0 victory provided a ‘reality check’ for United, who had not lost since Jose Mourinho’s last match in charge at Liverpool on December 16.  Read more... (393 words, estimated 1:34 mins reading time)

German news magazine Der Spiegel says City and PSG overvalued sponsorship deals to help meet Uefa’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.

And it says that in 2014 the clubs negotiated with Fifa president Gianni Infantino, who was then general secretary of European football’s governing body Uefa, to agree reduced punishments.

City say they will not be commenting on the claims and that the attempt to damage their reputation is “organized and clear”.  Read more... (397 words, estimated 1:35 mins reading time)

Napoli Boss Opens Door For Cavani Return

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has told Paris St Germain striker Edinson Cavani he is welcome back at his former club any time before the two sides meet in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Uruguay striker spent three years with Napoli before joining PSG in 2013 in a deal worth a €6 4million, making it the sixth biggest transfer in history at that point.

He has since scored 176 goals in 255 appearances for PSG, but speculation about the 31-year-old’s future in the French capital has been near-constant since the arrival of Neymar in the summer of 2017.  Read more... (332 words, estimated 1:20 mins reading time)

Paris Saint-Germain Want N’Golo Kante

Paris Saint-Germain are still going all out to land Chelsea’s French international N’Golo Kante, despite the Premier League side’s attempts to ward of interest by offering the midfielder a new deal.

The Premier League club are prepared to make the World Cup winner their highest paid player at £290,000 a week, a contract that will certainly catch the interest of Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

Could Cavani Fill Ronaldo’s Shoes At Real Madrid?

According to AS, Real Madrid have sounded out Paris Saint-Germain over a move for striker Edinson Cavani.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez needs a big name to replace Talisman Cristiano Ronaldo, who he sold to Juventus for €100m earlier this summer.

But Perez is finding that to be a difficult task as Cavani’s PSG team-mates Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are too expensive even for Madrid.

That has left Perez looking at the next level of player, where someone like Cavani would be a relatively cheaper option.  Read more... (310 words, estimated 1:14 mins reading time)

Did Mbappe’s Mum Open Door For His PSG Departure?

Kylian Mbappe has been one of the stars of the World cup, and as a Real Madrid fan growing up, he has been linked with a move to Spain to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

So it is interesting with that backdrop that his mother is now publicly expressing her concern at the treatment that Mbappe is receiving at Paris Saint-Germain, and in particular the way team-mates Dani Alves and Neymar routinely mock the teenager’s appearance.

Is she paving the way for Mbappe to force a summer move to Real Madrid?  Read more... (320 words, estimated 1:17 mins reading time)
