The 28-year-old England international England international centre-back and the 30-year-old Argentina international defender have been left out of United’s Champions League squads.

Galtier named new PSG coach as Pochettino departs

Christophe Galtier has been confirmed as the new Paris Saint-Germain head coach after Mauricio Pochettino left the Ligue 1 champions.

PSG won the league by a margin of 15 points in the 2021-22 season, but Pochettino departed on Tuesday following his failure to deliver their first Champions League title.

Galtier is the man who has been trusted to take over at PSG, strongly supported by new sporting director Luis Campos.

Campos and Galtier have worked together previously when they combined at Lille to create the team that pipped PSG to the Ligue 1 title by a point in 2020-21.

Galtier left Lille days after they won that championship, joining Nice.

But he spent only a single season on the French Riviera – finishing fifth and reaching the Coupe d…

Madrid defender Nacho monitoring Ramos situation before making contract decision

Real Madrid defender Nacho Fernandez has suggested he will wait to see if Sergio Ramos signs a new contract before deciding whether to also agree fresh terms.

Long-serving centre-back Ramos is due to be out of contract at the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the campaign, while Nacho has another season to run on his deal.

Madrid have been in talks with Ramos over extending his stay, but head coach Zinedine Zidane recently admitted he is unsure if the Spain international will put pen to paper.

Nacho s own future is far from certain and the 31-year-old, who has become a regular for Zidane, will see what Madrid s plans are before making a decision on whether to commit.

Of course, whether Madrid renew Ramos, or sign a central defender or two, are decisions t…

Prediction: Croatia vs Scotland

Best Odds: 4/5

Bookmaker:

With it all still to play for on Tuesday night, Scotland and Croatia will face off at what should be a noisy Hampden for their final Group D contest.

Croatia

Starting with Croatia, while The Blazers might still hold a real chance to progressing their adventure to the knockout stage this week, they have struggled to find much form this summer. Eventually having to come from behind against the Czech Republic over the weekend and lucky to have left Hampden with a 1-1 draw, their first point of the tournament, Zlatko Dalić s side have really failed to build off of their success out in Russia three years ago. Making it all the way to the final and a showdown against France, Croatia have gained a real reputation from across Europe for their…

Mount hails Chelsea´s ´unbelievable´ Champions League triumph

Chelsea star Mason Mount savoured the climax to a long, long journey  after the Blues beat Manchester City 1-0 to win the Champions League on Saturday.

Premier League champions City were eyeing a 2020-21 treble, and instead Chelsea claimed their second Champions League crown thanks to Kai Havertz s 42nd-minute goal.

Mount split City s defence with a sublime throughball for Havertz, who became the first player to score his maiden Champions League goal in the final since Ilkay Gundogan in 2013.

Thomas Tuchel s Chelsea nullified City to become the third English side to win the Champions League on two occasions, after Liverpool (2004-05 and 2018-19) and Manchester United (1998-99 and 2007-08).

Mount – the first English player to provide a Champions League…

Bolivia v Argentina: La Albiceleste target top spot – but does Messi get a rest?

Argentina can clinch top spot in Group A as they aim to maintain their unbeaten run under Lionel Scaloni against a Bolivia side already certain of an early Copa America exit.

The format of the 2021 tournament means just one team from each section misses out on the last eight, though the final matches are still pivotal as nations jostle for positions in the final standings.

Bolivia s exit was confirmed with a 2-0 reverse against Uruguay last time out, another blank in front of goal meaning Cesar Farias side have managed to score just once in three outings so far.

Argentina have also found it tough going in attack, despite the presence of the talismanic Lionel Messi. Following a 1-1 draw with Chile in their opener, they have recorded back-to-back 1-0 triumphs o…

Juventus head coach Massimiliano Allegri lamented his team s fortune with VAR after they saw a late winner chalked off in a 2-2 home draw with Salernitana.

Arkadiusz Milik looked to have won the game with a 94th minute header from a corner, but VAR disallowed the goal after the ball took a slight nick off Leonardo Bonucci, who was stood in an offside position.

Bonucci had levelled the match just a minute previously with a rebound from his own missed penalty, as Juventus came back from a 2-0 half-time deficit to earn a point.

In addition to Milik s goal being ruled out, the striker was given a second yellow card for his overzealous celebration. A scuffle ensued which saw Juve s Juan Cuadrado and Salernitana s Federico Fazio given straight reds, while Allegri also…
