Arsenal are 'anxiously' awaiting Champions League qualification and might confront the 'dreadful' situation of having to defeat Southampton to secure their spot.  Lamine device  Mediawatch regrets to inform that Reach headlines have ultimately consumed themselves completely. This offering from the Manchester Evening News serves as convincing proof:  ‘Marcus Rashford reveals genuine Lamine Yamal traits while Man United observes’  Nobody understands its meaning, yet it’s stimulating and engages the audience.

Does he believe he’s an inexpensive version of Harry Maguire? Has he completely embraced Garth Crooks with his hairstyle decisions?

Ruben Amorim begs Marcus Rashford to reconsider Man Utd's exile.

By Damerex -

Ruben Amorim has challenged Marcus Rashford to improve his game and push his way back into the starting lineup after acknowledging that Manchester United lacks the forward's skill in front of goal.

 Rashford has not impressed Amorim behind the scenes at United, and it was recently claimed that the two are no longer communicating as a result of the head coach's most recent critique of his forward's training standards. 

With Rashford out of the lineup, United's results have been inconsistent, and Amorim has acknowledged that he wants someone with his skills to assist in attack as soon as feasible.

"Our team should be so much better with Rashford," Amorim stated. However, he needs to change. We need a talented player like Rashford, therefore we're more than welcome to bring him in if he changes.

"I believe it's really obvious right now that we need to establish some guidelines. If Marcus wants it badly enough, we are waiting for him.

"I have nothing against Marcus; [the media] tries to make it personal, but it's not. I have to establish the same guidelines for everyone, and for me, they are always the same and extremely straightforward."

Amorim clarified his statement that he would prefer to start 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital over Rashford by saying: "Every player faces the same challenges, and when I discussed that in the previous game, I said that I would not start any player who doesn't give their best effort.

"We require goals, we need one-on-ones, we need danger in the attacking third." 

It's the same situation since I didn't declare that I wouldn't place Marcus Rashford. I'll put any player to play when I think it's appropriate.

"It's obvious that Rashford makes us a stronger team. He has a lot of talent, but I won't change my view until the perfect time comes. The response is always the same.

Rashford’s representative ‘seen’ with Manchester City executives as ‘noticeable presence’ in the stands… to observe Aston Villa

By Damerex -
Image
Marcus Rashford’s sibling and representative, Dwaine Maynard, has been ‘seen’ with Manchester City officials as a ‘noticeable presence’ to observe his brother playing football.  Rashford joined Villa on loan in January and achieved four goals and six assists during a mostly impressive period before sustaining a hamstring injury that appears likely to sideline him for the remainder of the season.  Earlier this week, a report suggested that Man Utd and Aston Villa are currently 'negotiating' about ending his loan prematurely.  Rashford realizes that there probably won't be a future for him at Old Trafford with Ruben Amorim, so the Red Devils will consider offers. He intends to meet with his employers prior to mid-June.  However, he might have to come back sooner than anticipated if both clubs reach an agreement, as he is unlikely to recover within three weeks. This occurs despite Villa having a £40m purchase option for Rashford included in their loan deal with United....

Although Enzo Maresca emphasizes that the advancements at Chelsea are evident due to the owners' support during his initial season at Stamford Bridge, reports indicate that the Blues' board is now 'split' regarding the Italian's future.  In the face of fan discontent during a stretch where Chelsea has secured only seven victories in 18 Premier League matches, dropping from title contenders to outsiders for Champions League spots, reports indicate there are now ‘significant concerns regarding his style of play,’ and ‘the noticeable decline in performance from star player Cole Palmer has also attracted attention.’  Ending up in the top five will probably save him, with the UEFA Conference League serving as the icing on what would be a successful season. Even if he fails to qualify, it might not result in his dismissal. However, we've prepared a list of 10 managers that we believe the Chelsea leadership will/should consider if they decide to part ways with Maresca....

Arsenal icon Lehmann issues sack warning to Arteta following Champions League loss to PSG

By Damerex -

Arsenal icon Jens Lehmann asserts that Gunners manager Mikel Arteta will be dismissed next season if he fails to secure the Premier League title.  The Gunners are poised to finish second in the Premier League for the third consecutive season after Liverpool was confirmed as champions on Sunday.  A remarkable 5-1 victory against Tottenham secured the Reds’ 20th English top-tier championship, with Arne Slot’s team 15 points clear of Arsenal as they approached the last four games of the season.  Arsenal have struggled to match Liverpool in the latter half of the season, but their strong performance in the Champions League has lifted their spirits.  Two exceptional performances versus Real Madrid guaranteed a 5-1 aggregate victory in the quarter-finals, securing their spot against Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.  Even though Arsenal had several good opportunities to score, they were unable to penetrate PSG's defense during their first leg match. Ousmane Demb...

Should Enzo Maresca consider benching Cole Palmer? Right now, he is the least effective player on Chelsea...

By Damerex -
Image
Enzo Maresca stated that Cole Palmer's lack of goals was a “mental” problem before the match, emphasizing it was unrelated to him, his strategies, or a playing style that has caused Chelsea to fall from title contenders to Champions League qualification outsiders now firmly established at Stamford Bridge.  "Absolutely, it's all in the mind." I don’t believe it’s tactical, nor do I believe it’s technical, since Cole remains the same player who scored for us this season. The type of football we play is the same as before. The manager remains the same. The club is identical. “Everything remains the same for Cole, and Cole remains unchanged.”  Palmer is evidently experiencing a deficiency in self-assurance. For an extended period during this dry spell, it seemed only a matter of time until he would conclude it, yet the confidence that characterized his exceptional football in his first season and a half at Chelsea now seems to have almost vanished, leading to the astonish...

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has shared his thoughts on the possibility of Viktor Gyokeres being attracted to transfer from Sporting CP to Old Trafford this summer.  The Red Devils have faced challenges this season in the Premier League, with Ruben Amorim’s team sitting 14th in the standings as they approach the last four games of the season.  Just four Premier League teams have netted fewer goals than Man Utd this season, and Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have faced significant criticism for their goal drought.  Hojlund netted his fourth goal in the Premier League this season during the 1-1 tie with Bournemouth on Sunday, whereas Zirkzee has managed just three.  Currently, there are intentions in the transfer market for Man Utd to acquire a new striker before the next season, with Gyokeres, Victor Osimhen, Liam Delap, and others mentioned.  Recent days have seen increasing speculation regarding a possible transfer for Gyokeres, with talk of a pote...
