Now, however, Caicedo has conceded that his dream move is actually away from English football, naming Real Madrid as his favouriteRead More →

Erik ten Hag says Manchester United captain Harry Maguire is an example for the rest of the squad to follow. Injuries to starting defensive pair Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane have helped the England international get some more game time at club level. However, he was poor alongside the rest of the team in United’s Europa League exit to Sevilla on Thursday and won’t be involved in the FA Cup semi-final against Brighton on Sunday due to suspension. “He has an important role in the fact he is captain. He leads, he communicates with the manager. He motivates the team. He is the example onRead More →

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has backed his side after their Premier League title hopes were dented with a 3-3 draw against Southampton on Friday evening. Some calamitous defending gifted Southampton two goals inside the opening 15 minutes, but Gabriel Martinelli responded soon after and it appeared to be just a matter of time before an equaliser and perhaps an eventual winner.
