Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has said that the England national team needs a manager like Sir Alex Ferguson in order to achieve success. England have been devoid of success in winning the World Cup in 1966.

They have seen several managers come and go during this period. Carrick reckons that this constant changing of managers is probably the reason for England not achieving success at major tournaments. In recent decades, England have failed to progress past the quarter-final stage of a major tournament.

After being linked with several clubs during the last few transfer windows, the Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson can finally look forward to keeping the Brazilian midfielder Anderson at the club.

The manager of Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson, has hailed Jonny Evans for his impressive performance in the ongoing season so far and has hinted that Evans might be given the opportunity to captain the Manchester United side in future.

Evans has been given starting opportunities in 14 Premier League matches and 4 Champions League matches in the ongoing season so far and he has been quite impressive in those matches.

Because of his consistent performances in the ongoing season, his contract was extended for the next 4 years last month.

The midfielder of AC Milan, Nigel De Jong, has said that he is eagerly waiting for his team’s upcoming match against Juventus which is going to be played on Sunday.

Juventus is currently at the top of the Serie A points table with 32 points in 14 matches. On the other hand, AC Milan hasn’t performed that well in the league so far. Milan has played 14 matches in the ongoing Serie A League so far and has managed to win only five of them. Milan has lost 6 matches and the rest three games have ended in the form of draws. Milan currently has only 18 points.

The Hull City and Northern Ireland midfielder Corry Evans has said that the national team should produce a heroic performance against Russia if they are to start the World Cup qualifying campaign well.

The spending power of the Premier league clubs has been always on the up. It is a case this time around as well after the clubs in the Premier league have spent close to £ 400 million, which is a feature that could rise to about £ 500 million considering that there is still one more day left in the transfer window.

After failing to get their hands on any silverware since 2005, a lot of people have completely written off Arsenal’s title chances already. However, Gunners defender Andre Santos seems to have other plans, with the 29-year-old claiming that the team will be much more competitive following the transfer activity this summer.

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.

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.
