NANI BACKS BENTO

Manchester United winger Nani has said that Portugal manager Bento has been a huge influence on the squad at the Euro 2012. Despite having some of the best players in the world like Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, Portugal have been extremely poor in the last couple of major tournaments.

VAN PERSIE EQUALS RECORD

Arsenal striker and captain Robin van Persie has equalled the record set by Arsenal striker Ian Wright back in the 1996-97 campaign for the most number of teams scored against in one season.

Ian Wright managed to score against every team in the Premier league apart from Manchester United and Sunderland.

EXPECT MORE

Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has said that people can expect more from him in the future, as there is scope for a lot of improvement in his game. Wayne Rooney has just scored his 30th league goal of the season.

He is set to become the major factor for Manchester United in the race for winning the 20th Premier league title.

However, he was criticised by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson after the 4-0 win over Aston Villa that Rooney should not be casual during the matches. Rooney responded by saying that there is still scope for improvement in his game.

NO MORE DROPPED POINTS

Manchester United should forget about dropping any more points in the Premier league title race is they are looking to win the title according to former Manchester City striker Darren Huckerby.

Manchester United will be facing Norwich city during this weekend.

Even though this may sound like the battle between David and Goliath, one might have to remember that it was Norwich city who managed to bring an end to the title hopes for Manchester United back in the 2005-2006 season. Manchester United will be hoping that they can keep up with Manchester City in the title race.

THE NEXT ENGLAND CAPTAIN

It has been revealed by a major English tabloid that both Scott Parker and Steven Gerrard are the favourites to get the captaincy from John Terry.

The English football Association removed John Terry from the captain’s post after the trial for the racial abuse case has been moved past the European Championships in the summer.

VILLA EXPECTED AT LEAST A DRAW

Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish has said that the 1-1 draw with Everton is the least result that he expected to see in this match.

Aston Villa were coming into the match with a desperate need of points, which would help them rise up to the top half of the table. Aston Villa has certainly been very poor over the festive fixture list, which has meant that they have dropped out of the top half of the table.

BECKHAM RULES OUT PSG MOVE

David Beckham will not be moving to France, with his reported move to Paris St. Germain called off at the moment. Beckham stated that he wants to continue with another two year contract with Galaxy.

One of the many reasons for him signing up a contract is because he wants to stay in the US, and avoid uprooting his family from America at the moment.

ROONEY STAYING AT UNITED

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has hailed manager Sir Alex Ferguson as the best ever manager in the world, not just in British football and has reiterated his desire to finish his career at the club and would love it if the fiery Scot was there till the end of his football career.

The England international striker also added that too much was being made in the tabloid about his rift with the Tartan born manager and reassured the fans of the club that he still respects the manager and is committed to the cause of the club like before.

DIOUF SIGNS FOR DONCASTER

Controvertial striker El Hadji Diouf has finally managed to find a club after being let go by Blackburn in the summer – though it’s not quite as big a club as he might have hoped.

Having played in the Premier League for Blackburn and Liverpool, and finished off last season at Scottish Premier League Champions Rangers, he might have hoped that his perofrmances (and goals) would have led to big clubs across Europe vying for his signature.
