Rumour Has It: Inter and Man United agree Sanchez loan

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has warned his old side that they face an attacking force who cannot be stopped in Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer takes charge of his first Champions League match since taking over as caretaker manager against the Ligue 1 champions at Old Trafford on Tuesday.

PSG have been dealt a series of injury blows in the build-up to the last-16 tie, with Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Thomas Meunier to miss the first leg and Marco Verratti short of full fitness.

However, Saha thinks World Cup winner Mbappe will help to give Thomas Tuchel s side the edge.

Paris Saint-Germain are slightly ahead because they kept progressing, he told Omnisport when asked to compare the teams. They have a player like…

Kevin De Bruyne wants Phil Foden to stay at Manchester City for the long term after the 18-year-old made his full Premier League debut against Cardiff City.

Pep Guardiola s side moved back to the top of the table, a point above Liverpool, after goals from De Bruyne and Leroy Sane sealed a 2-0 win at the Etihad Stadium.

Foden was twice denied by goalkeeper Neil Etheridge and hit the post as he marked his first top-flight start with an impressive performance in midfield.

It has been suggested Foden could follow the example of Jadon Sancho by leaving City for the chance of more regular first-team football abroad, despite signing a new contract until 2024 last December.

But De Bruyne is keen for his young team-mate to enjoy a long career at his boyhood club �…

Brendan Rodgers blamed shortfalls in intensity, creativity and quality for Leicester City s Europa League exit as his own poor record in the competition s knockout stage continued.

The Foxes were favourites to progress from their last-32 tie with Slavia Prague after a goalless draw in the first leg, but succumbed to a 2-0 loss at the King Power Stadium on Thursday.

Goals from Lukas Provod and Abdallah Dipo Sima sealed the win for the Czech side as Leicester – third in the Premier League – produced a poor performance.

Rodgers has now been eliminated from all five of his Europa League knockout ties as a manager (all in the last 32) – with Liverpool in 2012-13 and 2014-15, Celtic in 2017-18 and 2018-19 and now Leicester this season.

Looking to mark their return from the festive break with a Bundesliga statement, Bayern Munich will welcome Hoffenheim to the Allianz on Friday night.

Bayern Munich

Starting with the hosts, marking their return from the festive break sat four points adrift of Bayer Leverkusen, there is no doubt that Bayern Munich will be desperate to make a statement here. However, while Thomas Tuchel’s men might face a real challenge in their bid to make more Bundesliga history this season, the German giants signed off 2023 in the midst of a real flurry. Last seen picking up a 2-1 victory away at Wolfsburg, the former Chelsea boss has seen his squad lose just a single Bundesliga appearance so far this campaign. Likewise, collecting 22 points from th…

Lionel Messi has told Barcelona he wants to leave the club. The end of an era is, seemingly, in sight and that will usher in a strange new world, for Barca and his next employers.

Unsurprisingly, debates have raged ever since the news came to light on Tuesday, with Barca receiving communication that their talisman, the most iconic player in their modern history, wants out.

In some ways it was predictable. The turmoil engulfing Barca s hierarchy and their decision making in the past few years looked destined to come to a head – there would be major consequences, and Messi leaving was always going to be the worst-case scenario.

Whether he does or not is a different matter. Some believe his request is a power-play to oust president Josep Maria Bartomeu early, and …

Neymar suffered a potentially serious injury as Paris Saint-Germain laboured to a 3-1 win over 10-man Saint-Etienne.

Looking for a response after their defeat to Manchester City in midweek, not to mention the speculation over Mauricio Pochettino s future, PSG fell flat for much of Sunday s game.

But Angel Di Maria and Marquinhos, who scored twice, came up with the goods, with Lionel Messi assisting all three of his side s goals in a victory that was only sealed late on.

Di Maria and Marquinhos netted in the closing stages after the defender had earlier cancelled out Denis Bouanga s opener, with Timothee Kolodziejczak sent off for the struggling hosts before the break.

However, PSG will now hold concern over Neymar, who was taken off on a stretcher with…
