Ronaldo returns to man utd

Manchester United are back in action in the UEFA Champions League today with Italian champions, Juventus returning to Old Trafford.

It will also be the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, who left Real Madrid for the Italian club in the summer. After the 2-2 draw against Chelsea on Saturday, United will be seeking to get back to winning ways, especially after Ross Barkley’s effort took the victory away from them at Stamford Bridge.

United’s season has not been the best, but it has not been the worst either. They are the only English club in the Champions League to have four points after two matches, which is no great feat after two matches, based on who United have played; Young Boys (3-0) and Valencia 0:0After the victory over Young Boys, United went four matches without a win, losing 3-1 to West Ham United, drawing against Wolverhampton Wanderers (1-1), Derby County (2-2), a penalty defeat, and Valencia (0-0).

The match ahead of the international break, at home to Newcastle United, saw United concede two quick goals in the first half, ended that half 2-0 down. However, goals from Juan Mata, Anthony Martial, and Alexis Sanchez turned this into a 3-2 victory.

A positive result against Chelsea followed with Martial scoring both goal at Stamford Bridge. With Juventus coming to the Theatre of Dreams, it does not make anything easier for United. A win will be a great result, a draw would not be the end of the world. A defeat would.

United have become more of a team in the last two matches than they were in the matches played previous to those. The first half has not been great against both Newcastle and Chelsea, but the second half showing is something to be positive about.

United just need to play that way for 90 minutes, as opposed to 45, which may come in the coming weeks and months but needs to come at some point.

Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Alexis Sanchez is not in contention to play against Juventus after coming on as a substitute against Chelsea on Saturday. It has been suggested that the Chilean ‘pulled a groin muscle’ against the London club.

France’s Macron Sends Clear Message to Trump: “Nationalism is a Betrayal of Patriotism”

Image
More than 60 world leaders gathered in Paris Sunday to mark 100 years since the end of World War I, and although the general theme was unity, President Donald Trump seemed determined to stand apart. While world leaders took a bus to the Arc de Triomphe and walked side-by-side as bells tolled to mark the exact moment 100 years ago when the war ended, Trump arrived with his own  motorcade . Russian President Vladimir Putin also arrived separately  and walked in by himself to the ceremony that included, among others, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump arrived separately “due to security protocols.” But his insistence on standing apart didn’t sit well with others, particularly after Trump drew fire for his decision to cancel his appearance at a memorial service Saturday because of rain. When it came time for the speeches, Fre...

FORGET PEP GUARDIOLA, JOSE MOURINHO AND JURGEN KLOPP - CHELSEA MANAGER MAURIZIO SARRI IS ON THE CUSP OF SETTING A STUNNING NEW PREMIER LEAGUE RECORD

Image
Chelsea vs Everton at Stamford Bridge is a Premier League fixture that often leaves the Merseyside outfit feeling Blue as they trudge their way back up to the North West. The Toffees have a rotten record at the stadium, failing to win on any of their last 23 Premier League visits, dating all the way back to 1994. Few will back Everton to bring an end to that shocking statistic considering that the club are also woeful on a Sunday, losing 11 of their last 13 matches, while there’s the small matter of attempting to become the first club to inflict a first league defeat upon  Chelsea  since May of last season. Speaking of undefeated records, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has history in his sights this weekend. No gaffer in the history of the Premier League era has ever gone 12 matches unbeaten at the start of a tenure. Sarri is currently level on 11 unbeaten matches with former Nottingham Forest manager Frank Clark, who achieved that feat way back in 1994/95, howeve...
