Here is the screenshot of the table and results

Manchester United have made a new left-back a priority in the remaining few weeks of the window.

Jose Mourinho is eager to make at least one more signing this summer having brought in three new faces.


Here, Duncan Castles, writing for our sister paper the Daily Record , says United want a new left-back with Danny Rose one option being considered.

Jose Mourinho has prioritised the recruitment of a starting left back as he seeks to eliminate clear weaknesses in United's squad ahead of his second Premier League campaign at the club. England international Danny Rose is one of the options under consideration.

Faced with entering a season in which he is prepared to deploy wing-backs on a more frequent basis than previously in his managerial career, Mourinho wants to sign a player of Champions League quality to hold down a starting role on the left side of United's defence.


The Portuguese coach shifted left-back duties between Daley Blind, Matteo Darmian, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young last season depending on match strategy and form

Though Mourinho is examining options outside England for the position, the most accomplished left back available on this summer's market, Benjamin Mendy, has already been recruited by Manchester City for a record fee and there are few obvious alternatives. Domestically, there is a strong interest in Rose, who has encouraged United's overtures.


Rose has also been approached by Chelsea - under severe pressure from Antonio Conte to deliver several additional signings before the transfer window closes - and City, where Pep Guardiola asked to be provided with four elite-level full backs this summer. Yesterday, the England international invited a national newspaper to discuss the subject of his future and Tottenham Hotspur's recruitment policy with him.

In a remarkably frank interview, Rose unfavourably compared Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy's squad building strategy to that of the London club's title rivals, arguing that “we do need one or two top signings to strengthen the squad, I’m just not buying the idea that we don’t need anyone”.

“I am not saying buy 10 players,” Rose told the Sun . “I’d love to see two or three — and not players you have to Google and say, ‘Who’s that?’ I mean well-known players.”

Rose signed a new contract last September, which runs to 2021 and it is understood to pay him £65,000 a week, placing the left back near the top of Tottenham's tightly-controlled wage scale. He was subsequently invited by former White Hart Lane coach Andre Villas-Boas at Shanghai SIPG, ultimately rejecting an after-tax offer of €17million a year from the Chinese Super League club.

Alvaro Morata and Thibaut Courtois missed their spot.
Olivier Giroud was the man of the moment as Arsenal won the Community Shield in a nervous penalty shoot-out on Sunday.
.......................................................................................................................................
Both Alvaro Morata and Thibaut Courtois missed their spot kicks before the Frenchman stepped up and smashed past Chelsea's Belgian keeper.


The clash was a tight affair for the most part, and the two sides went into the break level after Gunners new boy Alexandre Lacazette clattered the post in the first 45 minutes.

Per Mertesacker was forced off with a nasty gash to the face following a sickening clash with Gary Cahill and was subsequently replaced by Sead Kolasinac.

.......................................................................................................................................
Chelsea took the lead moments after the restart when Victor Moses fired home from close range, as the Blues looked to see out the game comfortably.

But a Pedro red card for a reckless tackle on Mohamed Elneny gave the Gunners a glimmer of hope and Serbian left-back Kolasinac grabbed an equaliser.
.......................................................................................................................................
Giroud then had the final say from the spot to win the shield for Arsenal.

Here's how John Cross rated the performances...


Arsenal
Cech 7

Smart saves and very quick off his line to thwart several Chelsea breaks.

Holding 7

Another mature performance, read danger signs and made good clearances.

Mertesacker 6

Went off early with a bloody wound after nasty clash with Cahill.

Monreal 6

Started on the left of the three, switched to the middle, assured in both roles.

Bellerin 6

Booked. Lively and involved from the right, both in defence and attack.

Elneny 6

Valuable squad player, energetic and determined. But not really a starter.

Xhaka 7

Good range of passing, fabulous shot and brilliant free kick for equaliser.

Oxlade-Chamberlain 6

Not sure Ox will feel left wing back is his best position long term.

Welbeck 7

HIs pace and power caught the eye in Arsenal’s attacks. Faded.

Iwobi 7

Very lively start, quick feet and clearly on a mission to make his mark.

Lacazette 6

Hit the post with a curling effort. Promising signs but disappears in games.

Substitutes
Kolasinac , for Mertesacker, 32 mins, 8

Giroud , for Lacazette, 66 mins, 6

Walcott , for Iwobi, 67 mins, 6

Nelson, for Welbeck, 88 mins
.......................................................................................................................................
Chelsea
Courtois 7

Fabulous save from Xhaka’s 30 yard thunderbolt. Had a very assured game.

Azpilicueta 6

Booked. Had some wobbly moments in defence, but Azpilicueta fairly solid.

Luiz 6

Read dangerous situations well and made several good headers. Decent game.

Cahill 6

Involved in two clashes of heads - once with Mertesacker and then with Luiz.

Moses 7

The villain of the cup final - sent off after diving - redeemed himself with super goal.

Fabregas 6

Patrolled midfield, picked some good passes and will clearly be key again this season.

Kante 7

Brilliant energy and runs. He gets forward and defends with equal measure.

Alonso 7

Booked. Knows Chelsea want to buy another left back but still produced good display.

Willian 7

Booked. Very harshly given a yellow for diving when replays showed he was clipped.
.......................................................................................................................................
Pedro 6

Sent off. Looked very harsh in a friendly but studs down Elneny’s Achilles.

Batshuayi 7
You have to admire his persistence. Barely got a game last season, but still fighting.
.......................................................................................................................................
Substitutes
Morata , for Batshuayi, 74 mins, 6

Rudiger, for Alonso, 79 mins

Musonda, for Willian, 83 mins

Man of the match
Kolasinac 8

Arsenal substitute looks as hard as nails and scored equaliser.

USAIN BOLT BEATEN IN HIS FINAL 100M RACE BY JUSTIN GATLIN
Usain Bolt has blamed his dodgy starts for his shock 100m defeat to Justin Gatlin.

Jamaican superstar Bolt waved farewell to individual athletics without the fairy tale victory as American Gatlin romped home at the London Stadium.


The eight-time Olympic champion eventually came third as Christian Coleman also pipped him to silver.

Bolt complained about the starting blocks at the World Championships after his heat victory on Friday night.

Usain Bolt of Jamaica reacts after the final
And Bolt, who will say goodbye to the sport after the 4x100m relay next Saturday, refused to lay liability at the blocks and instead held himself responsible for his frustrating exit.

Bolt told the BBC: “The start is killing me. Normally I get better though the rounds.

“It felt like it was there but the reason I lost was because I couldn’t get it. You have to transition.

“But you have to work with what you have.”

Neymar is on his way to Paris after
completing his world record
£199million move from Barcelona
to PSG, but could soon be heading
back to Catalonia.
.....................................................................................................................
Spanish newspaper Sport , which
has close ties to the Nou Camp,
claims Barcelona and their former
player could be set to meet in court
to settle an outstanding €26million
(£23.5million) loyalty bonus owed
to the Brazilian.
Under the terms of Neymar's
Barcelona contract signed last
summer, the 25-year-old and his
representatives was due to be paid
the sum on July 31 if he was still at
the club.
.....................................................................................................................
Neymar's deal was not formerly
completed until August 3, meaning,
technically, he is owed the money.
But Barcelona have not yet paid the
sum and are prepared to fight
against it.
.....................................................................................................................
Sport claims Barcelona do not want
to pay because they believe
Neymar's deal with PSG was
actually agreed weeks ago.
With no agreement in sight, these
two look set to meet in court.

suave558:
So much money for one player. It all started with pogba

now he is more expensive than 13 premiership clubs full squad in whole...

Sammmypoko:
Mou is right afterall,Many average players would hence be sold for 100m

overrated players

France

The Brazilian made a flying visit to Portugal to begin the formalities for a transfer to the Ligue 1 giants
......................................................................................................................................
The Brazilian star is expected in Paris on Thursday and made a day trip to Porto on Wednesday after telling his Barcelona team-mates he wanted to leave the club.


French paper L'Equipe say Neymar passed his assessment under the supervision of PSG doctor Dr. Eric Rolland and sport co-ordinator Maxwell.
......................................................................................................................................
Earlier today, Mirror Football's Adrian Kajumba reported Neymar will miss ‘uncle’ Lionel Messi when he goes for a world record £199 million.

......................................................................................................................................
Neymar visited Barcelona training before a flying
The Brazilian will be in the French capital on Thursday to finalise his move from Barcelona in a deal that will cost PSG a total £576 million over five years.

The 25-year-old on Wednesday told Barca he wants to leave, and then informed his teammates at the club’s training ground that he was off.

Messi posted a picture of their neighbouring lockers and said: “It was a huge pleasure to have shared all these years with you friend. I wish you good luck in this new stage of your life. Lots of love.”
......................................................................................................................................

Neymar responded: “Thanks brother. I will miss you uncle.”

The forward will move to France for a £199m transfer fee – the value of his buyout clause – and pen a five-year contract worth £49m-per-year before tax.
......................................................................................................................................
Once tax is deducted he will take home around a staggering £520,000-a-week or £27m every year.

Qatar Sports Investment, whose portfolio includes PSG, are understood to be funding the transfer by striking a sponsorship deal with Neymar worth over £300m.

What we know and what everyone is saying
That will allow him to effectively pay his own release clause in full and buy himself out of his Barcelona contract, leaving the Nou Camp club powerless to stop the deal.

As part of the deal he is set to become an ambassador for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
......................................................................................................................................
However, La Liga and Barcelona chiefs are fuming that they are set to lose one of the game’s biggest names.

Once it became clear the deal was a possibility Barcelona’s lawyers worked to see if there is anyway it could be stopped.

And La Liga chief Javier Tebas warned: “The complaint is ready and will be presented to UEFA, the European Union and the Swiss courts.
......................................................................................................................................
“Basically, the complaint will be over unfair competition and against teams that receive financial injections from owners that ‘gift’ players to their fans by taking them away from others. PSG are a clear example of ‘financial doping’ by club/state.
......................................................................................................................................
“PSG’s accounts reflect that they have more commercial income than Real Madrid or Manchester United, which is to say that their brand value is bigger than these two clubs. Well, that is impossible.”
........................................................................................................................................
However they appear to be facing a losing battle with UEFA sources saying the deal can’t be stopped once Neymar’s release clause is met.

Neymar to be worth more than 13 Premier League club's squads when he completes world record move to PSG

Neymar has agreed a five-year contract and the deal is expected to be worth nearly £450m including wages and bonuses
.....................................................................................................................................
Neymar will cost more than 13 Premier League squads
Neymar is taking Barcelona’s famous slogan, “Mes Que Un Club” (More Than A Club), quite literally with his transfer fee.

The Brazilian forward is expected to move to Paris Saint Germain for the colossal amount of £199m.

That will mean, assuming the deal goes through, that PSG will have spent more on one player’s transfer fee than 13 Premier League clubs have done on their entire squads.
.....................................................................................................................................
In fact, the Brazilian’s massive fee will actually be higher than the amount Brighton, Huddersfield and Burnley have spent COMBINED assembling their current squads.

Only Tottenham, Everton, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City have spent more on transfer fees for their whole team than PSG will on just one player.


Neymar is expected to complete world record move before the weekend
.....................................................................................................................................
Club: Cost of squad in transfer fees
Brighton: £25,605,000
.....................................................................................................................................
Huddersfield: £52,420,000
.....................................................................................................................................
Burnley: £68,950,000

KYLE WALKER BOOED BY SPURS FANS AS HE PLAYS AGAINST THEM FOR MANCHESTER CITY
..........................................................................................................................................
Tottenham have had the best of Kyle Walker, according to Mauricio Pochettino.

The 27-year-old England right-back has just joined Manchester City in a deal that could reach £54million. But Spurs boss Pochettino believes the Londoners got the jet-heeled star in his prime.
..........................................................................................................................................
“He’s one of the best full-backs in England and Manchester City have paid a lot of money – £50million – just like they have signed different players to try to get success in the future,” said Pochettino.

“But, for me, I think we have seen the best of Kyle with Tottenham.
..........................................................................................................................................
“We helped him improve and learn. When you pay this type of amount for a player, it’s because he’s top and because you are at your best. Then it’s normal that he will succeed. It’s a big pressure because when you pay for some players, the pressure to perform as well in every game becomes greater.

“It will be different, the pressure, for him. But there is no doubt that he is a quality player, a talented player. And there is no doubt that he will succeed with Manchester City.”

Pochettino also revealed there are no hard feelings between the pair, despite rumours of a bust-up prior to Walker’s departure.

With this kind of attention, some players wouldn't mind getting injured regularly. This viral photo of a female paramedic attending to a footballer is currently "tearing the internet apart". The female medical personnel who is unidentified attended to a player during a league match in the Zambian Super Division League and people on Twitter think she was massaging the wrong place.

See how online users have reacted to the photo.

lol, and the small boy is observing, I won't be surprised if that same boy goes home and do same for his dad.

Paris Saint-Germain right-back Serge Aurier has agreed a five-year contract with Manchester United worth €4.5-5m (£4-4.5m) per season.

The Ivorian is on his way out under Unai Emery in the French capital, report Paris United.


Aurier, who has made an impressive 19 assists over the past five seasons in Ligue 1, is thought to be the successor to Antonio Valencia, despite the Ecuadorian enjoying a fine season for the Red Devils.


Tottenham are also interested, but Manchester United appear to have struck a deal first with the player and will now look to ratify a fee with his club, who will look to sell after acquiring Neymar for an astronomical fee

seunayomax01:
where is vincente De-busque? real Madrid/Spain coach this is a joke

with how many trophies

mansakhalifa:
Note these 2 things: 1) Arsene Wenger will NEVER make this list. 2) Pep is gonna end up not winning any silver ware at City. The EPL is way too tough for his kind. He should fly back to the Iberia where he stands a greater chance of winning stuff.

lol, Bro I agree with you, but at least let see what pep will do with his so called star team

Barcelona and Real Madrid met in the first El Clasico to be held outside Spain as the rivals clashed in Miami.


An exhilarating first half saw the Catalan club race into a 2-0 lead before they were pegged back by the capital side.

But Gerard Pique settled the tie in the second half before the high pace set early on, inevitably slowed.

Here, we rate the players who started the game for both sides...

Barcelona
...............,........................................................................................................................
Cillessen 8
Helpless with both goals but made two brilliant saves to prevent Isco bringing Madrid level once more in the game
...............,........................................................................................................................
Aleix Vidal 5
Caught out by Asensio's pace and power before the break
...............,........................................................................................................................
Pique 7
A constant scourge for Madrid on and off the field, came up with the winner
...............,........................................................................................................................
Umtiti 7
Composed and controlled in possession as he strolled through the first hour
...............,........................................................................................................................
Alba 6
Got forward to good effect but left plenty of space in behind which Bale failed to capitalise on
...............,........................................................................................................................
Busquets 7
Lovely pass into Messi to set up the opener
...............,........................................................................................................................
Iniesta 7
No sign off the old genius losing his touch as he conducted Barca's play before the break
...............,........................................................................................................................
Rakitic 7
Fine finish for his goal and was close to a second moments later, but got away big time with repeated pushing off the referee
...............,........................................................................................................................
Neymar 7
Missed chances he should have buried but got two assists and didn't look like a man with one foot out of the Camp Nou
...............,........................................................................................................................
Messi 8
New season, same old Messi. Goal added gloss to some lovely touches.
...............,........................................................................................................................
Suarez 7
Didn't score but his movement caused all sorts of problems for a disorientated Madrid defence


...............,..........................................................................................................................
Real Madrid

Navas 8
Kept the scoreline respectable to round off a good tour
...............,........................................................................................................................
Carvajal 6
Struggled to cope with Neymar's trickery
...............,........................................................................................................................
Ramos 5

...............,........................................................................................................................
Varane 5
Even his pace couldn't cover the oceans of space in behind the Madrid defence
...............,........................................................................................................................
Marcelo 7
Not quite on the form he ended last season with but still showed why he is the best left-back around
...............,........................................................................................................................
Casemiro 6
Unable to enforce his physical edge in a "friendly" environment
...............,........................................................................................................................
Modric 7
Slow to start but helped lead Madrid's revival in the first-half
...............,........................................................................................................................
Kovacic 8
Madrid's best outfield performer and not just for lovely individual run and strike to halve early arrears

...............,........................................................................................................................
Bale 5
In such an open game that should have suited his style, another Clasico largely passed him by
...............,........................................................................................................................
Benzema 6
Both the good and bad of the Frenchman's game on show as missed chances were offset by intelligent leading of the line to create space for those around him
...............,........................................................................................................................
Asensio 7
Counter-attack and finish for his goal showed Bale has plenty to be worried about over his role in the team this season

Goalkeeper: Victor Valdes
Released by: Middlesbrough
Now 35 and nearing the end of an illustrious career, Victor Valdes is on the lookout for a new club after having his contract with Middlesbrough ‘mutually terminated’ in May following their relegation.

While Boro endured a wretched season their veteran ‘keeper was one of their better performers.
......................................................................................................................................
Right Back: Bacary Sagna
Released by: Manchester City
Pep Guardiola clearly didn’t fancy his full-backs last season much with three of them being released and the fourth, Aleksandar Kolarov, on the verge of a move away to Roma.

Both Pablo Zabaleta (West Ham) and Gael Clichy (İstanbul Başakşehir) have found new employers, but Bacary Sagna remains on the market. Despite being 34, the Frenchman surely has a year or two left in him at the top level.
......................................................................................................................................
Centre Back: Martin Caceres
Released by: Southampton
Martin Caceres has barely kicked a ball in the last two years and managed just one appearance for Southampton in the Premier League after joining to provide cover for the injured Virgil Van Dijk.

The Uruguayan is still only 30, though and capable of playing in any position across the back four.
......................................................................................................................................
Centre Back: Chico Flores
Released by: Lekhwiya
He of being laughed at by Sam Allardyce fame, Chico Flores is out-of-contract after seeing out a (presumably lucrative) three-year deal at Qatari club Lekhwiya.
......................................................................................................................................
Left Back: Benoit Tremoulinas
Released by: Sevilla
Released by Sevilla after over a year out injured due to a torn meniscus, Benoit Tremoulinas will have to prove his fitness to any prospective club this summer.
......................................................................................................................................
Centre Midfield: Jan Kirchhoff
The German was a revelation in Sunderland’s midfield as they avoided relegation under Sam Allardyce but for whatever reason found it difficult to force his way into David Moyes’ plans last season.
......................................................................................................................................
Centre Midfield: Joe Ledley
Released by: Crystal Palace
Looking for a solid central midfielder who can double up as a dressing room entertainer? Well, you’re in luck as Joe Ledley is on the market following his release by Crystal Palace.
......................................................................................................................................
Right Wing: Jesus Navas
Released by: Manchester City
Another player ruthlessly discarded to the scrap heap by Guardiola, Jesus Navas is also yet to sign for anyone following four inconsistent years in Manchester.

Sure, his end product is somewhat lacking with his last competitive goal coming circa 2007, but he remains lightning quick and has piercing blue eyes. What more do you want?
......................................................................................................................................
Attacking midfield: Wesley Sneijder
Released by: Galatasaray
Wesley Sneijder’s move from Inter to Galatasaray in 2013 caused shockwaves across Europe as he was still in the peak years of his career and after three and a half largely unfulfilled years in Istanbul, the Dutchman is looking for a new club.

Although he’s now 33 and approaching the end of his playing days, Sneijder remains a fixture of the Netherlands squad and will be looking to join a club soon to maintain his place.

Could a long overdue reunion with Jose Mourinho be on the cards, we wonder…
......................................................................................................................................
Left Wing: Rachid Ghezzal
Released by: Lyon
Surprisingly let go by Lyon after progressing through their youth ranks, Algeria international Rachid Ghezzal should have no shortage of suitors this summer.

Still only 25, Ghezzal impressed as Lyon reached the semi-finals of the Europa League and has been linked with a potential switch to the Premier League or Serie A.

Striker: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Released by: Manchester United
..........................................................................................................................................
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is arguably only a free agent because he’s currently sidelined with a knee injury as he certainly did enough to earn an additional year at Manchester United last season.

Many wrote Ibrahimovic off after he sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the age of 35 but if his social media posts are anything to go by, he is making remarkably quick progress.

A return to United on a short-term deal has been mooted while there is also supposedly interest in his services from the MLS

La Liga rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona square off Saturday in Miami for a pre-season El Clasico, and according to Zinedine Zidane, Los Blancos star Cristiano Ronaldo will not take part.

Zidane confirmed during Friday's presser what International Champions Cup organiser Charlie Stillitano told the Miami Herald hours earlier.

Relevent Sports chairman Stillitano announced Ronaldo's absence, saying "Unfortunately, Ronaldo's personal commitments precluded him from being here."

"He really wanted to be here. This is not a diva situation. He was hoping that he could make it. He waited until today to let us know, but it just didn’t work out."

Zidane echoed those sentiments, saying, "Ronaldo is on vacation and he has a right to be on vacation to the 5th."

With the recent arrival of twins and a July 31 court appearance on tax evasion charges looming large, Ronaldo has missed out on Real's United States summer tour.

Stillitano adds that RSE Ventures founder and Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross tried to encourage the Euro 2016 winner to join his mates in Florida, though in the end, it wasn't meant to be.

"Mr. Ross did everything possible to get him here," Stillitano admitted. "And Cristiano said he was very grateful for that. I'm extremely disappointed, but we still have the two best teams and the top stars minus one."

Even without Ronaldo, Saturday's tilt at the Hard Rock Stadium will not be short on storylines, as reports linking Barca star Neymar with a record-breaking move to Paris Saint-Germain continue to gain steam.

Roma have launched a final offer
for Riyad Mahrez - believed to be
around £32million.
Mahrez wants out of Leicester this
summer with Arsenal also thought
to be keen.
......................................................................................................
But Roma are leading the chase
and have already had a bid
rejected for the Algerian winger,
reports the Leicester Mercury.
Monchi, Roma’s transfer boss, says
their second offer for the PFA
player of the year is a “fair one”
with the club also considering other
options.
Leicester are expected to reject the
bid as they value Mahrez closer to
£50m.
“We’re not just working on one
name,” said sporting director
Monchi, at a press conference for
the unveiling of new signing Hector
Moreno.
“It’s logical, we have different
options. In the case of Mahrez it’s
become public knowledge, with
others it hasn’t.
......................................................................................................
“We’ve made two offers, the second
is fair and then we stopped. There
are no percentages, the deal will
get over the line or it won’t.
“Mahrez is one of the options, not
the only one. It’s true that this
could be the last offer, we’re
evaluating other options.”
Roma are believed also to be
interested in Manchester City
winger Samir Nasri, who is out of
favour under Pep Guardiola......................................................................................................
Mahrez is understood to be Roma’s
primary target, but the club are
confident they can get a deal for
Nasri done quickly.
Monchi was involved in taking him
on loan to former club Sevilla last
season and Roma having already
signed Aleksandar Kolarov from
Man City this summer.
