July 22, 2021 by ClownTown

Manchester United fans all over the world have all been waiting for when the club will finally unveil their latest marquee signing Jadon Sancho. The Red evils fans were made to wait for a little over two years before Sancho was finally signed from German Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund after the two European heavyweight clubs were locked in negotiations regarding the transfer of the England international star. Like Dortmund, United announced that they had reached an agreement in principle to sign the former Manchester City youth product for a fee of £73 million in what is a mega move by the club.

However, the agreement was struck while Sancho was still away with England on international duty at the Euros 2020 tournament. The tournament has finally come to an end and the next thing to be done about the transfer is for United to finally unveil Sancho in a United shirt and that’s one moment the fans of the Old Trafford club have been waiting for.

While it is not the sort of transfer news Manchester United fans will be expecting at this point, the Red Devils have confirmed that they have completed the re-signing of their former goalkeeper Tom Heaton from Premier League side Aston Villa. Heaton had been linked with a return to United for quite some time now but manager Olé Gunnar Solksjær did not want to make any serious move for the veteran goalkeeper because he still had a lot of options in that position, including David De Gea, Dean Henderson, Sergio Romero, and Lee Grant.

The former Red Devil has now finally been brought back home and although he is not expected to play any major role at Old Trafford next season, he will come in as one of the most experienced players in the squad and could serve as an important figure that the younger goalkeepers at the club could be looking up to.

Manchester City fans might have been celebrating right now if manager Pep Guardiola embraced the wise saying that ‘Don’t fix if it’s not broken’. The Manchester City boss tinkered with his Champions League winning formula for the final and that played a big part as Chelsea claimed a relatively easy 1-0 win over the Citizens to lift the Champions League trophy for the second time.

Chelsea are a different team under Tuchel since the German replaced club legend Frank Lampard in January and he had masterminded two straight wins over Manchester City before the final. The difference between those two games and the third meeting in Porto on Saturday night is that Guardiola used his starting XI for the latter.

Although Manchester United are currently the second-placed team in the Premier League standings, they are still lacking toughness defensively and currently do not have the complete squad capable enough to chase down League champions Manchester City. Bearing that in mind, Olé Gunnar Solksjær has informed the United board that he will be needing reinforcements in the summer if they expect him to mount a serious title challenge next season.

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham has been linked with an unsurprising move away from the club, according to reports. The English striker has fallen out of favor with manager Thomas Tuchel and it does not look like he will regain his spot in the first team, with the German manager preferring to go with Timo Werner in his attack. Abraham was a star player under Frank Lampard until he lost his place in the team after the arrival of Werner, and since then, he has been unable to convince the past and current managers that he can be the starting striker.

This season, the Englishman has been restricted to just a few appearances by Tuchel, and the reports of him being linked with an exit have been fueled even more. Despite that, Abraham has still been an important player for the Blues and has been involved in more goals for the club than any other player.

Leeds United are back to winning ways in the league after they secured a convincing win over Southampton at home in their outstanding game in the Premier League. The newly promoted team had lost their last two games in the competition against Arsenal and Wolves before the Southampton game at Elland Road on Tuesday night. Leeds United had been beaten 4-2 by the Gunners away from home two games ago with Gabonese international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang getting hattrick for Arsenal. Leeds United then made it two successive league defeats with the slender 1-0 loss at Wolverhampton Wanderers. The only goal of the game came in the second half after an unfortunate own goal from Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier. The Frenchman rebounded the ball into his net unconsciously after he tipped the ferocious shot from Wolves attacker Adama Traore onto the post.
