A shocker! Man United lose against Hull City

“There are no favourable starts. It’s an easy thing to throw out there but pretty ridiculous. It’s a tough start” said Manchester United coach Michael Carrick ahead of the season opener against Hull, who are newcomers to the Premier League. And boy was he right! The team which ended up in an elite league due to Southampton’s ‘spygate’ and exclusion from the playoffs delivered a dream start of the season – a 2-0 win over Manchester United! A fantastic achievement for a team which is one of the candidates for relegation and against a team which finished third in the Premier League third last season.But how was this possible? Well, there are a couple of reasons for that. United’s new looking midfield (Santos, Tielemans) allowed Hull players to bully them and win the majority of duels. The energy of Manchester players was also missing. It looked like they were playing this game at the end of the season, in May, and not in August. Totally opposite to Hull, who were buzzing from the first mi..

Serie A begins: Can anyone stop Inter?

Inter enter the new Serie A season as overwhelming favorites, a status comparable only to Juventus during the previous decade, when the Bianconeri won nine consecutive Scudetti, or Fabio Capello’s Milan in the 1990s. The gap between the Nerazzurri and the rest — let us recall, they finished the championship 11 points ahead of second-placed Napoli, 14 ahead of Roma, 16 ahead of Como, 17 ahead of Milan and 18 ahead of Juventus — has grown even wider and will not be easy to close, despite there still being around ten days left in the transfer window. It is unrealistic to imagine that the gap can be significantly reduced, among other reasons because there is no longer a “Galliani”, nor an “Ibrahimović”, to pull off a last-minute transfer capable of changing the hierarchy in the league. The Nerazzurri have strengthened further during the transfer window, bringing in three starters — Curtis Jones, John Stones and Djed Spence — as well as two high-quality alternatives: Ivan Provedel as an opt..

Fernandes set for a rotation this year

In Manchester United, everything revolves around Bruno Fernandes and it’s not something new. The Portuguese playmaker has been the club’s best player for years now, as years of bad recruitment and decisions left the famous club with only one true star, but this season, Michael Carrick will try to preserve his best player. Or at least he would like to do it. Due to last year’s good season, the Red Devils are finally back into the Champions League, which means they will compete in four fronts. The soon to be 32-year old captain has so far missed six games through injury or illness, and only a handful of times being named on the bench for a Premier League game since he arrived in 2020.Tough job for Man United – Bruno rejected first offer for a new contractBut Carrick will try to change that.“I’ve said quite a lot about Bruno, he’s been a big part of the team and the club over recent times and had a huge impact, so he’ll continue to do that. In terms of the games and how it comes, hopefull..
