Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says David de Gea is "the best goalkeeper in the world". De Gea was criticised heavily during Friday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Tottenham by former United captain Roy Keane, working as a television pundit. However, Solskjaer has backed De Gea.

The one thing I will never forget is how willing they were to help me and how much they believed in what I could do for the game. I am still in contact with a lot of them now and I want to be that humble player that is willing to go the extra mile for kids with potential like they did for me. Tottenham picked Davison up from Reading as the most high-profile signing in their huge summer intake following their promotion to the WSL.
As Panteras will have enjoyed the opportunity to regroup over the last few weeks, and they should be feeling fairly confident heading into this match.

Liverpool had the 'Spice Boys'. Manchester United had the Class of '92. One was more style than substance. The other had both. Evans had a team and a squad that could never quite be trusted - hugely talented but fatally fragile. The Houllier reboot Gerard Houllier, left, was Liverpool's first non-British or Irish managerIt was time for more change at Liverpool - and it arrived in unorthodox fashion on 16 July 1998 when Gerard Houllier, fresh from playing a part in France's World Cup triumph, was appointed joint-manager alongside Evans.

There was only one major change to the table last season between games 29 and 38 as Chelsea moved from sixth to third and United dropped from fourth to sixth.

They are one of only two teams in the past decade to take a Champions League spot having not been in the top four with nine rounds left.
Media playback is not supported on this device Manchester City 3-1 Leicester City: Pep Guardiola pleased with Man City's comeback win Pep Guardiola's side have looked a lot more like their old selves with their attacking displays against Arsenal and Leicester in the past couple of weeks, scoring three times in both games.

AC Milan travel to the Luigi Ferraris Stadium to take on Sampdoria in the penultimate round of the Serie A season this Wednesday.

Hello. My pick for this match in 2 Bundesliga between ST Pauli vs Nurnberg is over 2.5 goals in this match. Odd for this bet is 1.92. I think that this match will be offensive. In their matches before the break, many goals were often scored. Considering yesterday's matches, I expect a high result. In the last 5 matches direct only once was over 2.5 goals, but I hope that there will be a lot going on after the break. I think the home team are favorites in this match and they will win this match 2: 1. Good luck!!

Manchester City and Liverpool will also no doubt have one eye on renewal, with deeper pockets than most to facilitate it.

But results weren't a factor in Keegan's decision - they had, after all, rediscovered their scintillating best, with 7-1 and 3-0 wins in their two previous league outings.

Kevin was Newcastle - he was the captain of the club," Lee says.

When I went outside it just looked like a war zone. You could smell gas, electricity poles were down and sparking fires, trees everywhere, debris everywhere, a real mess.

Only five days earlier, at the end of February, the assistant general manager at Nashville SC had been at their debut Major League Soccer game against Atlanta United.
The hosts should be hopeful of getting something from this game. After all, Derby County are unbeaten in their last seven home league matches against Charlton (W4 D3) since a 2-0 defeat in February 1999. On top of that, Charlton haven't completed a league double over Derby since the 1983-84 campaign. However, after winning five consecutive home league games between September and November, Derby have failed to win each of their last three on home soil (D2 L1). Given that form, we expect these two to share a 1-1 draw this week.
Women are putting as much hard work in as the men do, and we are finally seeing it paying off and people appreciating it. It was mad really. For a while, all I wanted to be was a footballer but back then it was quite hard for women's football. There was still a struggle about whether it could be a career. There were quite a few players I looked up to, like Rachel Yankey - I remember meeting her at one of Arsenal's award ceremonies.
We asked Eurosport France’s Vincent Bregevin for his expert opinion on the full back. WILL ANYONE IN PARIS MISS KURZAWA IF HE LEAVES? Not really. He has not lived up to the hype since he joined from Monaco after a very promising season. This season, he’s backup to Juan Bernat at left back but Abdou Diallo can play there too, so my guess is that PSG have no reason to keep him.

This week saw the postponement of the Euro 2020 tournament until next June and July.

The very top teams still manage to win games when that is happening every week but it looks like Leicester need to learn how to do it. West Ham will not make it easy for them but I don't think they have enough of a presence up front, and the Hammers need some reinforcements for the relegation battle that lies in front of them.
