Manchester City star David Silva has admitted that things have got tougher by the day for him with the Premier League holders. The former Spain international has been a regular figure under Pep Guardiola during the ongoing season but he has not enjoyed the consistency of gametime when compared to the previous campaign.
So far Chelsea have been really busy in the transfer market. They have acquired the services of Borussia Dortmund star Christian Pulisic with a huge rumour that Eden Hazard would exit this summer.
Claude Puel reckons that technically his team might have got only one point at Brighton, but morally it was a victory for them after the way they turned it around and earned a draw from a not so great position.
Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri has said that he is unsure over the position of Thibaut Courtois but he remains hopeful that the goalkeeper will stay put at the club for the upcoming campaign. The Belgium international has shown no intention of extending his contract beyond June 2019 and this has seen him continuously associated with a move to Real Madrid.
Spanish side Barcelona thumped their arch rivals Real Madrid to become the top club on the continent despite Madrid winning their 13th European Cup recently. The La Liga champs overtook Madrid based on a Euro Club Index compiled by data company Gracenote.
Manchester United’s forward Romelu Lukaku has claimed that he is not worried at the prospect of Zlatan Ibrahimovic providing him a competition in the first team.
Yet, the Belgian international has dismissed those claims by saying that he would welcome the presence of additional competition in the team. United are looking to win the Premier League title for the first time since 2013 when Alex Ferguson was able to lead the club to success. read more

In spite of what has been an unremarkable season for Jose Mourinho in his debut campaign in charge of Manchester United, the Portuguese coach is still expected to remain in charge of the Premier League club for at least another season.
One of the reasons of why the upcoming season might not kick-off in a positive way is due to the fact that Luke Shaw might miss the start of the next campaign. Luke Shaw is a 21 year rising star who is trying to find his place on the 1st team of Jose Mourinho.
Luke Shaw underwent surgery on his injury foot and it remains uncertain as to how long it’s going to take him to get fully recovered but he’s not expected to come back anytime soon.
The English defender has spent the majority of the season on the sidelines but he has been getting playing time on certain matches and has made 11 Premier League appearances which is fairly surprising for a youngster who is trying to make his presence felt in the club that has won the most Premier League titles ever.
Another of the reasons of why the 2017-18 might not initiate in full force for Manchester United is because KylianMbappe does not want to join them the team of Jose Mourinho. read more

Summer signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan grabbed the only goal of the game even though he could not finish the game as he limped off.

Another summer signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic had given Man United the advantage as he scored thrice in the first leg at Old Trafford.
The victory ensured United’s form since November continued strong. After their sloppy side, the team seems to have found the right balance.
Etienne wanted to win the game even if they did not qualify the coach said. read more
