Liverpool legend-turned-pundit Jamie Redknapp believes Manchester United will make an approach to sign Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino when the season comes to a close. The Argentine footballer has immensely built up his reputation during his time with Spurs and he had most recently penned a fresh five-year contract with the club.

Despite this, the speculation regarding his future does not seem to cease and according to Redknapp, Spurs could have a tough task on their hands to prevent Pochettino from heading to the Mancunian giants, he told Sky Sports Football: “I think Manchester United will get him (Pochettino). I think they will go for it and I think they will get him.

Manchester United captain Antonio Valencia has revealed that he has been dropped by manager Jose Mourinho. The Ecuador international has not feature for the Red Devils since the 0-0 Champions League draw against Valencia at the start of October and during this period, it had been highlighted that he is recovering following a mouth surgery.

However, speaking to Area Deportivo, Valencia has suggested that this is not the case and his absence from the starting lineup has been rather tactical with Ashley Young preferred ahead of him for the right-back duties, he said: “Right now I haven't been playing, but it's more of a tactical decision,' he told Area Deportivo in his homeland. The player who has been in my place (Young) has been playing well.You have to respect the decision.”

Former Manchester United star Eric Cantona believes Jose Mourinho is not the ideal fit to coach the Red Devils on a long-term basis. The Portuguese tactician was appointed the club’s manager during the summer of 2016 and he thereafter enjoyed a strong first season where United won both the League Cup and Europa League.

However, in his second campaign, Mourinho could only muster a runner-up finish in the Premier League while his team also lost out on the FA Cup to Chelsea in the final. Since then, United have started the third season under his management in a rather worrying fashion and Cantona has now voiced his concern over the Portuguese’s style of play.

Manchester United’s summer signing Fred has indicated that the Red Devils have been put under pressure after making a mediocre start to the ongoing campaign. Jose Mourinho’s side were initially fancied to go head-to-head with Manchester City in the title hunt this term but things have paved differently from the start with United already seven points behind their cross-town rivals.

As such, there has been plenty of speculation regarding the future of Jose Mourinho as well as several players within the squad but Fred believes that has come about due to the club’s indifferent start to the campaign, he said: “Manchester United is a huge team, so, if results are not coming, people and the press will wonder why, for sure. They'll think something is wrong, so that's normal, that's a pressure you have anywhere, in a company, if results don't show up. And Man United is not different, with such the quality and importance they have.”

Atletico Madrid superstar Antoine Griezmann has suggested that he would take up the option of joining Inter Miami in the future, should David Beckham approach for his signature. The France international was a childhood fan of the former Manchester United favourite and he appears to have plans for an MLS stint during the backend of his career.

Speaking to L’Equipe, Griezmann said that he could consider a future move to Beckham’s Inter Miami, though Los Angeles also remains a probable destination for him, he quipped: “If Beckham wants me at his club then I’ll go there. I want to finish my career in the US. I still don’t know if I will in Miami or Los Angeles. They’re two big cities. I like the mentality and culture of the show in the US.”

David Beckham is all set to receive the 2018 Presidents award from UEFA for his service to the game. He has still been actively involved in the game even after retiring from football couple of years ago. The former Manchester United midfielder will be picking up the award in Monaco towards the end of the calendar year. UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin claims that he has picked Beckham as the recipient of the award since he has become a global ambassador for the game. Beckham’s popularity has helped to promote the game in various nooks and corners of the world. Besides, the midfielder has also been able to actually be part of several charity and humanitarian works in the world.

Beckham was an incredibly successful player after having won numerous honours including the Champions League with Manchester United. He also represented top clubs like Real Madrid, AC Milan, and PSG. Beckham is also widely regarded to have made Major League Soccer incredibly popular, as his arrival prompted the league to enter into the next stage. Even though the likes of Pele and Ronaldinho did try the league to a certain extent, it is now able to stake a place as one of the top leagues in North America due to the exposure given by Beckham.

England international Harry Maguire has said that that he is ‘really happy’ with Leicester City, although he refused to rule out a big-club move. The 25-year-old was one of the key performers for England at the recent World Cup and he has since attracted from Manchester United, who are aiming to bolster their defence for next season.

Speaking to The Sun, Maguire admitted that he is grateful for the opportunity with the Foxes but refused to rule out the option of pursuing a bigger challenge elsewhere, he said: “Every player wants to play at the highest level. I’ve just come back from playing at a World Cup, where I really enjoyed the high pressure of the games. It was something that I really thrived off. Leicester have been unbelievable to me and I’m really happy there but I’m also an ambitious player and everyone wants to play at the top.”

Former Manchester United star David Beckham has fancied England to make the finals of the World Cup alongside Argentina. The Three Lions opened their points tally for the tournament with a last-gasp victory over Tunisia and Beckham is now fancying them to make the final in Moscow though they have difficult challenges ahead.

He said:“I believe Argentina will play against England in the final. I think obviously my choice would be England to win the competition, but that’s me being biased and passionate about my country. I’m very happy that we won the first game in the group. England is a very young team, they don’t have a lot of experience yet and the journey of the World Cup will become harder and harder because there are many good teams in the tournament.”
The Three Lions secured a close 2-1 win over Tunisia in their opening game of the World Cup but they could have quite easily scored twice the amount of goals, had a couple of refereeing decisions gone their way. Nevertheless, Gareth Southgate’s side have picked up a victory unlike the previous World Cup and they are now favourites to reach the round of 16 with games against Panama and Belgium to come.

England Legend David Beckham and England manager Gareth Southgate have both said that they are proud of what the players have achieved this summer, by reaching the semi-final of the World Cup. Obviously, they would have liked to reach the final but they will have to content themselves with the fact of reaching the semi-final.

Beckham posted a photo on Instagram saying how proud he was of the 'Brave Lions' and that the Semi Finals was a great run, even if it didn't end up with Football Coming Home.

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid star David Beckham has begged Zinedine Zidane to overcome Liverpool in this weekend’s Champions League final. Real Madrid have won the elite competition in each of the past two seasons and Beckham has pleaded with Zizou to beat the Reds at any cost. Speaking on Sky Sports News, he said: “To have been successful as a player and now to be successful as the boss, the big boss, is incredible. I just want to wish Zizou, the boss, the president, the club good luck in the Champions League final. And please beat Liverpool, please!”

Obviously, Beckham’s affiliation with Real Madrid would automatically encourage him to support the club but the 43-year-old also holds a rivalry with Liverpool from his time with Manchester United. The Red Devils have dominated their proceedings over their north-west counterparts over the past couple of decades but a Champions League final triumph for the Reds would unquestionably generate talks of a power shift which many United fans would not want to hear.
