Good news for Manchester United fans: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future will be decided in 48 hours, and there will be more news.
Chelsea fans have begged the club to hand Antonio Rudiger a new contract after he scored in Saturday’s 3-0 win at Leicester.The German defender put in another dominant performance as Thomas Tuchel’s European champions humiliated the Foxes at the King Power Stadium. Rudiger has his contract at Chelsea expired and The Blues are looking forward to make an extension with the Germany international.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has managed his final game in charge of Manchester United and will be sacked. United called an emergency board meeting following the 4-1 humiliation at Vicarage Road. And Solskajer’s backroom staff started saying their goodbyes following the brutal defeat with club chiefs to sack him within 48 hours. Sacking Solskjaer will cost the club a staggering £7.5million after the Norwegian signed a new three-year deal in July.
It was a thing of nightmares for Leicester fans at their home in the King Power stadium on Saturday lunchtime, with Premier League leaders Chelsea to town. The Foxes were in high spirits before the game and making plenty of noise as the match kicked off, but there was a reoccurring theme. There was regular moans, groans, and boos every time Ben Chilwell or N’Golo Kante got the ball, both of whom are former Leicester players.
A charm offensive from top Liverpool stars convinced Glen Johnson to snub Chelsea in favour of a move to Anfield.The ex-Reds right back has revealed how the likes of Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso called him to sing the club’s praises as he weighed up his options back in 2009. Johnson was at that point playing for Portsmouth and was wanted by a host of other top teams, including his old club Chelsea and Manchester City.
Luke Shaw could be a doubt for Manchester United’s clash with Chelsea after appearing to suffer possible concussion against Watford.The left-back, 26, started in Saturday’s 4-1 horror defeat at Vicarage Road. But Shaw didn’t last the whole 90 minutes as he was flattened in a collision with an opponent. Shaw lay face-down on the turf as medics rushed to check on his condition. And the defender was promptly withdrawn via the concussion sub protocol, which was implemented at the start of the Premier League season.
