Former France coach Raymond Domenech says that he does not expect Manchester City to even come close to beating Paris St Germain in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The two teams have been pitched against each other for the first time in European football history. City are second favourites going into the game since they have little experience of the latter stages of this competition.

This is the first time that they have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Supporters of the club, though, think that they will be able to make a major impact due to the presence of world-class players like Sergio Aguero and Yaya Touré.

Louis Van Gaal is ecstatic that his side is back in the Premiership with some fine performances recently.

The Red Devils are now a real contender for Champions League qualification as they have managed to close in the gap of points between them and the teams at the top spots in the table.

The results of some of the other matches have gone in their favour yes and that has helped them a great deal in improving their position, but, they themselves have played pretty well too.

They have got as many points as the 4th positioned Manchester City now and just 4 points less than Arsenal which is no. 3.

According to Van Gaal, there is not much difference in the quality of the sides in the domestic league in England and on a given day, any side can be beaten by any other side in this competition and that’s what keeps it so tight all the time.

Former Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara says that he decided against joining Manchester United since there was no concrete offer from the Premier League outfit.

Summer signing Anthony Martial has already become a fan favourite after being one of the top scorers in the league.

Argentine winger Angel di Maria has claimed that he is finally feeling happy after having left Manchester United, a club where he spent only 12 months of his career.

Currently, two of the most prominent rivals of Manchester United are Manchester City and Liverpool, partly due to their proximity, and their more recent positions among the top four teams in the Premier League. Matches between any of these teams usually raises high expectations among fans during the season.

However, a decade or two ago, precisely around 1990, Liverpool and Man. City were not the main threat to Alex Ferguson’s powerful team. The main opposition to Ferguson’s title hopes came from Arsenal. That is why some of the most explosive matches that have ever being played at Old Trafford have been between United and the Gunners.

Arsenal vs Manchester United tickets are almost always in high demand by fans of the Premier League and they may be obtained from renowned websites like Ticketbis.

David De Gea might not be able to make his way back to his motherland the coming summer as Real Madrid is not ready to pay as much of transfer fee as his parent club Manchester United is demanding.

Manchester United wants an amount of twenty million Pounds for the 24-year old goalie.

The main thing here is that David De Gea is going to be out of contract at United in 2016 and then, Madrid can get him at absolutely no money. So, they reckon there is no point spending such a big amount right now.

With the new Premier League season just weeks away, and managers frantically trying to assemble their squads in time for kick-off on 8th August, two of the clubs making waves in the transfer market are Crystal Palace and Stoke City.

At this time of year, neither club are typically backed to mix it with the movers and shakers at the top end of the table, but the 2015/16 season could prove a different story after some significant transfer activity at both Selhurst Park and the Britannia Stadium.

Stoke achieved their record points total last season, thrashing Liverpool 6-1 on the final day to secure ninth place and a total of 54 points. Mark Hughes’ side have made themselves an attractive prospect in next season’s Premier League betting after signing defender Philipp Wollscheid from Bayer Leverkusen and goalkeeper Jakob Haugaard from the Danish Superliga.
