David de Gea has been crowned Manchester United s Player of the Year for the fourth time, eclipsing Cristiano Ronaldo s record.
De Gea reclaimed the prize from previous winner Ander Herrera at a glitzy ceremony on Tuesday, with the goalkeeper also collecting the Players Player of the Year gong.
The Spain number one is the only United player to have started all 35 Premier League matches this season, with his 17 clean sheets set to win the goalkeeper the competition s Golden Glove prize for the first time.
It s difficult for words what Manchester United means to me, De Gea said after lifting the Sir Matt Busby trophy.
It s amazing to play for the club, the history, the fans, everything. It was hard in the beginning, but I believed in myself, I worked hard…
Romelu Lukaku has always felt he was still an Inter player despite his exit last year to join Chelsea, Gigi Di Biagio believes.
The Belgium international left the Serie A side to return to the Premier League to join Thomas Tuchel s side but has endured difficulties in west London, expressing his frustrations during a mid-season interview.
Lukaku is expected to be on the move once ahead of the 2022-23 season, with Inter pushing to re-sign the striker from Chelsea – with reports indicating discussions regarding a loan deal are underway.
According to Di Biagio, Lukaku never quite left the San Siro spiritually and it was clear he regretted his exit as he remained an Inter player in his heart .
It s really quite romantic that we all got the feeling from the…
Antoine Griezmann will remain focused despite fresh speculation he could leave Atletico Madrid for Barcelona, according to France head coach Didier Deschamps.
Griezmann has scored 18 goals in all competitions for Atletico this season but Saturday s loss at Athletic Bilbao leaves them 10 points behind LaLiga leaders Barca.
Atletico crashed out of the Champions League last week, despite having established a 2-0 first-leg lead against Juventus, and Girona knocked them out of the Copa del Rey in January.
Barca have long been linked with Griezmann and the striker made a television documentary before the World Cup in which he mulled over his future at length before committing to Atletico.
But reports in Spain have indicated Griezmann is becoming unsettled …
The arrivals of Conor Gallagher and Julian Alvarez have energised Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone said on Sunday.
Gallagher, who joined this summer from Premier League side Chelsea, scored his first LaLiga goal in Sunday s 3-0 home win over Valencia, opening the scoring in the first half.
He is now just the third youngest English goalscorer in the Spanish top-flight (24 years and 222 days), after Jude Bellingham and Mason Greenwood.
He came with a lot of enthusiasm, and we needed that kind of player in the midfield because he makes us better, Simeone told a news conference.
He does not stop giving his best in every game situation in which he participates.
La Araña picó.

Liverpool s story over the last 50 years or so has been a most intriguing one. Bill Shankly lifted them to the top, with Bob Paisley ready to take on the burden and maintain the legend, reaching even greater heights. Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish managed to keep their status as one of the best clubs on the planet, but the aftermaths of the Heysel and especially Hillsborough disasters were hard to cope with, and a steady decline began from the early 1990s.
There were signs, most notably under Gerard Houlier and Rafa Benitez, that the club could once again be destined for the very top. The infamous Hicks and Gillet era did them significant damage, repaired to a slight degree when Dalglish returned for his second spell and led the team to the 2012 League Cup. Brendan Rodgers came c…
The Georgia Bulldogs will face the TCU Horned Frogs in the CFP National Championship on January 9 after prevailing in a pair of close semi-finals on New Year s Eve.
In the first of the two semi-finals, third-ranked TCU took on the two-seed Michigan Wolverines and produced the second-highest scoring playoff game since the inception of the new format in 2014.
The Horned Frogs looked set to coast through for a chance at their first National Championship since 1938 after their second pick-six of the game gave them a 34-16 lead late in the third period, but there would be plenty of points still to come.
In fact, the 44 combined points in the third quarter was the most ever in one quarter of a playoff game, and two quick touchdowns from Michigan cut the margin to 41-38…
Portland Timbers head coach Phil Neville insists he and his players are keeping their feet on the ground ahead of travelling to FC Dallas this Friday.
The Timbers extended their unbeaten run to seven matches in the MLS following their 3-2 victory over Minnesota United at Providence Park last time out.
Neville s side are now fifth in the Western Conference table but are among a cluster of teams tightly packed in the middle of the division.
However, the Portland head coach said that despite his side s recent form, they have achieved nothing but is confident his side will continue to push up the standings.
We are keeping our feet on the ground, I think that is massively important, Neville said.
If we hadn t scored that last minute goal, we wou…
The Green Bay Packers take on the Tennessee Titans in NFL betting action this afternoon.
Green Bay pulled off the upset with Malik Willis at quarterback last week, but my Packers vs. Titans predictions for Week 3 are counting on his luck to run out.

Packers vs Titans prediction
My best betTitans -2.5 (-115 at BetMGM)
My analysis
Don’t be scared off by Jordan Love practicing for the Green Bay Packers this week, since books seem convinced he won’t suit up. He was initially expected to miss 3-6 weeks with an MCL injury and oddsmakers have stuck to the Titans as faves, with the line only briefly slimming to -1.5 on Wednesday when Love said he was “hopef…
data-mm-id=”_syzdp52le”>Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens haven't been teammates since 2005 and apparently they've been feuding ever since. On Wednesday that battle reared its ugly head again. McNabb was interviewed on Bleacher Report's Untold Stories and towards the end of the episode he talked about Owens and the craziness surrounding his release from the Philadelphia Eagles. He implied that the relationship between the two former teammates is permanently fractured.Check it out:“I give a nice peace sign and keep it moving” ✌️@donovanjmcnabb says the T.O. drama broke up the Eagles.
