Real Madrid won the first El Classico of the season as they beat Barcelona 2-1 to go 5 points clear at the top of the La Liga table. Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham scored for the whites while Fermin scored one in between for Barcelona. Lamine Yamal was kept quiet all through the game as he could not find a way past the rugged Real Madrid defence. Mbappe was the mad of the show as he had ttwo amazing goals ruled out for offside and also missed a penalty.

Real Madrid are now 5 points clear at the top of the La Liga Table.

Manchester United finally got 3 consecutive wins in almost 2 years as they beat Brighton 4-2 at Old trafford. Ruben Amorim started with full firepower as Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo all started.

Cunha opened the scoring with an amazing finish to the bottom corner before old taker Casemiro added a second via a deflection. Mbeumo made it 3 just before the half time break and everyone thought the game was buried. Brighton however had other ideas.

Former Manchester United boy Danny Welbeck stepped up to put in a sensational Free kick before Kostouslas nodded in a quick corner to make it 3-2. Mbeumo however was not done, adding his second of the evening to end the game 4-2.

With that result, Manchester United are in 4th place on the league table.

Nottingham Forest have reach a verbal Agreement with Sean Dyche to resume as their head coach.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is 8 months away. Some nations have already secured their position in the cup to be held in 3 countries ( USA, Canada and Mexico), some are still fighting for qualification while others can no longer make it. However, my question today has to do with who is the strongest country going to the World cup and who do we think is going to win?

France to win the World cup is currently at 5.00 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/football/international/world-cup-2026/outrights

Let's start with the most two most obvious country, France and Spain. While Most people would say Spain, I am going with France as the number contender for the World cup. Spain is a close second. Start with squad Quality then you have to consider the coach. France has a coach that has been there, done that with some members of the current squad that actually won the world cup in 2018. Also, should i remind you that they currently have the official best footballer in the world Ousmane Dembele and the actual best footballer in the world (Over the last 2 years at least) Kylian Mbappe. There does not seem to be one actual weakness in the squad......for now.

For the Spanish team, I am still a little skeptical about their defense and there is also the issue of Rodri and his injuries. To be honest, there is probably no Defensive midfielder as good as him when he is fit so that is something. Or is this finally going to be the year for the English? They have the right players, yes.. They have a coach good at winning cup games, yes. So what can possibly stop them? Well, we are about to find out.

There is also Argentina with an aged Lionel Messi, Brazil with one of the best coaches in History.

Which country do you think is going to win the World cup next year or are we finally ready for an African country?

2003/04, that was the season that Arsenal last won the English Premier League or any serious Trophy. Now it is their trophy to lose. Arsenal right now have got the best squad in the world, the depth and quality is enough for even a blind man to see. This weekend, Liverpool lost away to Chelsea, a dying minute goal they have scored so often themselves. Haaland dragged Manchester City across the finish line against a stubborn Brentford but all that did not matter as Arsenal beat West Ham to go top of the table for the next two weeks.

Captain Martin Odegaard was forced off injured but even Arsenal fans were not concerned as they could afford to call on summer signing Zubimendi while Teenage Nathan Nwaneri is also still available. I think Odegaard can be out for the season and they still won't miss him, unlike previous seasons.

Arsenal to win the league is currently at 1.92 Odds here -https://m.betking.com/sports/football/england/premier-league/outrights

The question now is can Arsenal hold and see it through to the end of the season or is Arteta going all out to fight for the League and Champions League title at the same time? We are about to find out.

Here are 10 Matches my Babalawo said to look out for this weekend, remember to bet responsibly o.

Man City (vs Burnley) Saturday
Tottenham (vs Wolves) Saturday
Celtic (vs Hibs) Saturday

Ballon D'or has come and gone and we have our one true winner Ousmane Dembele, who by all standards had an amazing season. There should be little or not arguments against him winning. However, looking further down the list, there are lot of questions. The first Major one is how on earth did Raphinha end up at number 5? He did not even make the top 3 yet Yamal was number 2, Vitinha was number 3.....How?

Someone should please explain how Raphinha that won Barcelona and La Liga's player of the year ended 5th, especially behind Yamal that was in the same team? Going by trophies, they both won the same amount. By goal contributions, Yamal was 4th ranked in the Barcelona team behind Raphinha, Lewandoski and Ferran Torres so just how did Raphinha end up 5th. The premier League's best Player Mo Salah ended up 4th. How?!!

Raphinha to be La Liga's Topscorer this season is currently at 10.00 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/football/spain/la-liga/outrights

Let's even look at other funny rankings of this Ballon D'or. Michel Olise was 30th, this was one of the top 3 wingers in the world last season. Harry Kane ended up at 13th. Is it that Bundesliga tax is taking a toll? Hakimi did not make it into the top 5. Please let's have a revamp of the voting pattern. Somethings are just not right.

What do you think about this year's Ballon D'or?

What is going with Chelsea Football club? Is it a goalkeeping problem or a coaching issue or the players are just tired. Let me give my opinion first. I think Chelsea were silly not to have paid for AC Milan's Maignan or Donnarumma or any other goalkeeper. It has been obvious for over a season that Roberto Sanchez was just not a top level. Remember this was someone that had become third choice at Brighton before Chelsea brought him in. His situation also highlights a major flaw with football these day with everyone looking for "Ball-playing" Goalkeeper while ignoring the very basic of goalkeeping. Anyway the Manchester united defeat makes it 2 in a row for the Blues, fingers crossed on how their season is going to end.

Is Manchester United having a good season start or Manchester City having a horrible Season start? I need someone to explain to me because at the end of Game week 5, they are both on 7 points? What is going on, Amorim in or Pep out?

Arsenal to win the Premier League is currently at 2.85 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/football/england/premier-league/outrights

Now to the serious teams going for the title, Liverpool's main competition this season is only Liverpool then Arsenal, I am expecting the gunners to put up a good fight especially if they can get a good mentality other than the one they showed at home to Manchester City. After Martinelli's goal, I was expecting them to go for a quick reset but this team were celebrating like they just won the UCL final. Oh well, whatever they are happy about, only God knows. That is 2 points dropped Behind a Liverpool team that has not even hit form yet. Gunners, please remind Arteta that this is golden and last chance.

Wake up London! We have new kings in town or maybe not? Chelsea might have the biggest squad depth in the world right now but I do not think any team has got quality all around as much as Arsenal and that should be scary to everyone else.
Over the weekend, with several stars out injured or rested, Arsenal was able to make light work of Nottingham forest without even moving into second gear. There was no Saka (Out injured), no Saliba, Captain Odegaard was out, Declan Rice was rested for the champions league fixture that came up a few days later. Yet Arsenal was able to put 3 goals past Nottingham. New Signings Eze and Noni Madueke are proving to be solid cover while Zubimendi who has settled in perfect at the base of the midfield, popped up with two goals.

Arsenal to win the league is currently at 2.60 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/football/england/premier-league/outrights

The Champions League kicked off on Tuesday night and while Arsenal found it tough to break down the Bilbao defense in the first half, subs brought on from the bench made all the difference with Gabriel Martinelli and Trossard. Remember Arsenal have still got Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus out with Injury. When they come back, Mikel Arteta is going to have his hands full with options. Hincapie and Mosquera have also been brought in to provide solid cover for Gabriel and Saliba in defence.

Arsenal is finally ready, everyone else had better be afraid.

If your club is not playing in the Champions League this season, no need to read further. This is a conversation concerning the big boys. Lol, sorry, I been just dey joke. But yet! Ladies and not so gentlemen, the UEFA champions league is back and everyone is sitting up. This season, E fit be you o ( I am looking at Arsenal fans).

The first match of the competition is Arsenal away to Athletic Bilbao, what a way to kick off Europe's biggest Club Competition.

Arsenal to win the Champions League is at 8 Odds here - https://m.betking.com/sports/football/uefa/champions-league/outrights

For the next 7 months, I am going to be sharing my thoughts and betting options on each match and club. However, Here are the usual favorites as every year shows us.
Real Madrid
Bayern Munich
FC Barcelona
Paris St Germain
Liverpool
Manchester City

My Underdogs of the year? Look out for Arsenal and Chelsea.

Which club do you think is going to top the group stage this year, who is going to win the Trophy in May? Which player do you think is going to be the best player? Who go be highest goal scorere? Well, drop your answers, season long and we go soon find out.

The Champions League is back

What should we say? Where do we start from? Let's state the obvious, Nigeria is not going to the World Cup, again! The first and most obvious one is why was Gernot Rohr Sacked? Why was Finidi George hired in the first place?

We can't deny the fact that Nigeria has some of the most talented footballers in Africa but yet can not compete regularly, why? The Answer is the Nigerian Football Federation. The NFF often accused of corruption amongst other things can not even seem to get the administrative side of things right. Till date, they have not been able to give a good reason for the firing of Gernot Rohr and even if they do come up with a "Sensible" reason, why was the job given to Finidi George? Why was a man without any notable thing on his CV given the national team job?

Now the likes of Osimhen, Iwobi, Bassey, Ola Aina and the likes are likely never going to play in a world cup. If the NFF has got any shame at all, The entire board should be resigning. This is not to say that the players do not have their own faults but what can one say when we are giving them substandard coaches based on Nepotism?

Do you have any other reason why Nigeria is not going to the World cup?

The transfer window has closed now and the season has started slowly. While we can not judge on who and who are going to be successful signings, we can still discuss on who has got the best squad on papers right now. Here are the top 5 contenders -

1. Real Madrid : With the addition of Trent at right back, Husljen at Center back, talented teenager Franco Mastantuono. New coach Xabi Alonso might just have the best squad on the planet.

2. Chelsea : The London club has the biggest squad depth in the world. With an average age of 23years old, this squad is busting with young talents and only God can say what they can go on to achieve. Already World Champions.

3. PSG : The current Champions League Holders. This team does not seem to have a weakness asides from the lack of depth on the bench but with a fit starting XI, I doubt if there is any club that can go toe to toe with their quality.

4. Liverpool : Premier League champions for a reason and even if they have lost Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, Jeremie Frimpong, Kerkez have been brought in to fill the full back positions. However, Liverpool might just have the best attack in the world right now with the addition of Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike with Mo salah still there and Florient Wirtz? Best Squad in the world? Just maybe.

5. Arsenal : This was a tough pick because I wanted to say Manchester City but looking at the current Arsenal Squad especially with the addition of Eze and Gyokeres? That is a squad with quality and lot of depth.

Who do you think has got the best Squad right now?

Here are some of last minute deals going on around Europe. The Transfer window closes in a few hours.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle to Liverpool) - 130 Million Pounds
Loic Openda ( RB Leipzig to Juventus) - 40 Million Euros
Antony (Manchester United to Real Betis) - 22 Million Euros
Alexis Sanchez ( To Sevilla) - Free transfer
Gigio Donnarumma ( PSG to Manchester City) - Undisclosed
Jadon Sancho ( Manchester United to Aston Villa) - Loan
Yoane Wissa (Brentford to Newcastle) - 55 Million Pounds

2-3
A man down and still Newcastle were ready to pull the trigger and kill Liverpool. That was a rookie mistake because Liverpool stood up and reminded everyone why they are the current champions. I have spoken about Liverpool's thin squad and how their lack of options especially at the back.. they have already lost first choice right back Frimpong to injury, he won't be back till after the international break. Szobolai started the game at right back whenever Liverpool defended.

Anthony Gordon's red card for s stupid challenge on Van Dijk was enough to let Liverpool beat anything blue and black however this was Newcastle and this was St James' park with the crowd roaring for the full 90+ minutes. Newcastle put up a good fight but that rookie mistake might haunt them for the rest of the season. If anything, this match showed that Liverpool are ready to dig in deep and win dirty if possible.

Salah Off form? No problem. It is going to take a Tsunami to stop them this season everyone be ready!

Arsenal's season has gotten off to an amazing start, 2 matches, 2 wins , 5 Goals scored , 0 goals conceded and the gunners are sitting at the top of the Premier league table. However it seems the evil forces have come out to play very early in the season, Captain Odegaard was forced off with an injury. Shortly after, star player Bukayo also had to be subbed off. On a day when new striker Gyokeres opened his scoring account for the club, the immediate question was if Arsenal was prepared now to cope without Saka. Last season, the gunners suffered a lot in his absence as Odegaard could also not find the right form.

Saka is set to miss the games against Liverpool, City and Nottingham Forest.

Now we are about to find out if they are better equipped especially with the addiction of Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze (Who was unveiled before the Leeds match). Eze who can play as a 10 and also off the wings should be the obvious replacement but there is also Nwaneri who has been assured of been a deputy to Odegaard this season. Not to mention 15yr old sensation Max Dowman who came off the bench and won a penalty on sunday (Though it night be a little too early for him).

My Prediction is Eze starting on the left against Liverpool and Nwaneri slotting in midfield alongside Declan Rice and Zubimendi. What do you think?

The Greatest show on earth is back, the English premier league! Opening weekend delivered some drama as expected while we got a glimpse of what might happen this season. Note - I think this season is going to be the best season ever considering how everyone including the "Small clubs" have been moving in the transfer market.

Let me start with Liverpool, they need defenders ooo!!! They need at least 2 more defenders.. a utility defender like Hato would have been perfect but Chelsea has got that. They had to sub off Frimpong due to a slight knock and also Kerkez. The problem is they have no quality backup on the bench (Please do not mention Joe Gomez or Robertson). Just pray Van Dijk and Konate do not get any serious injury this season. Attacking wise, Liverpool might be the most dangerous team in England.

Now one bet I want to advise here.. Graham Potter is going to be the first coach to be sacked this season. If he is not fired early enough, West ham are likely going to have a relegation battle on their hands. BetKing has a market for this bet.

Is Pep back, are Manchester City going to take back their title? It looks like it but then again, it is just the first game of the season but it appears they might have the signing of the season their hands with Tijani Reijnders. One Goal, one assist is a good way to announce yourself with King Haaland scoring two to remind everyone why he is the best 9 in England.

Nothing to say about Chelsea, they looked sluggish and worn out against Crsytal Palace and should have lost. I think it is going to take about a month before we can expect anything from them. They have had a long summer and little ot no Pre-season but at the end, that is nobody's business. That sluggishness is also the issue with Arsenal who won at Old trafford but to be honest, they were bad and could not keep up with United and were just lucky. Manchester United fans should be proud and super ready for this season, they can achieve a lot (Only if they get a proper DM).

Bet on Leeds to go back down, forget that they beat Everton 1-0, that team is way unbalanced not to mention the silent war between the Coach and the fans. Aston Villa also don't look ready for this season and could not even get a shot on target against Newcastle. Newcastle have to sort out their Isak issue and fast.. they played well but could not just get a goal.

What are your thoughts on game week one.

Manchester United started the season with a home loss to Arsenal but truth be told, only one team actually played well and looked prime and ready for the season. New signings Mbeumo and Cunha kept running at the Arsenal defence all day and if they had started with an actual 9, they might have won the game. The other new signing Benjamin Sesko started the match on the bench and only came on later on in the second half.

Arsenal's new star striker Victor Gyokeres struggled all evening and could not even get one shot off, had to be replaced by Kai harvertz who put on a more experienced play. Arsenal rode their luck for most of the match and had United's goalkeeper Altay Bayindir to thank for their goal as his mistake led to their only goal. Goalkeeper Raya also had to made a crucial save from an Mbeumo header.

All in all, Arsenal really have to step up their game if they intend to finally win a league title after over 20 years. And as for Manchester United? Do not underrate them this season.

Tottenham have made a move on Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, this is after formally presenting a bid for Manchester City's Savinho. After James Maddison tore his ACL in their last Pre season game, Spurs have been looking for options upfront. The problem however is that Arsenal have also been in the market for Eze but have yet to prepare a suitable bid.

Eze has a release clause of 68million which expires on Friday, rumors are Arsenal are looking to pay lower while Spurs are ready to pay the full amount. Spurs are also looking to complete the signing of Savinho from City. Savinho had a below average season with City and Pep is open to a sale. Jack Grealish has already completed a loan to Everton and if Savinho does move to Spurs, City would be looking to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid. It is simply a merry go round with Wingers these days.

Can Arsenal still go forth and get Eze before Spurs makes a steal or will they be too late? Time will tell.

Arsenal may have bought a new 9 but the old problems remain. New signing Gyokeres started with star boy Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Maertinelli supporting him but they still lost 2-3 to Villareal. Former Arsenal winger Pepe opened the scoring before Karl Etta Eyong added the second. Norgaard scored his first goal for Arsenal through their usual corner routine. Danjuma finished off a quick counter to make it 3 then Odegaard stepped up to score a penalty and end the match at 3-2.

Gyokeres was only able to get one shot off on target as he was starved of service as Arsenal played in their usual laid back manner against a low block. He was taken off later in the second half as Merino was moved to the 9 position.

After watching the game, Arsenal are going to need a while to get going for the new season, they still look sluggish and out of sync. Hopefully everything starts to pick up soon enough.

We all know which club has spent the most on transfers over the last few years? Only one club stands head above all.... Chelsea Football Club. Let's not even start with who they have bought or how much has been spent on them, let's look at how they have gone ahead to sell most of these players at good prices. Especially when you consider that most of the sold players are surplus to requirement. About two years ago, they got United to pay almost 70million for Mason Mount that had just one year left on his contract. That should have warned everyone that this club was building a serious business model.

While Manchester United have done majorly the opposite.

This transfer window, Noni Madueke has been sold to Arsenal for 48m (52m including bonuses), almost double the 28m Chelsea bought him for. While Arsenal fans might hate the transfer, it is an incredible piece of business for the blue. Over the last few days, they have done more fast moves.

Armando Broja to Burnley - 20 million
Lesley Ugochukwu to Burnley - 20 million
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Everton - 28 Million
Kepa to Arsenal - 5 Million
Petrovic to Bournemouth - 25 Million
Marc Guiu - Loan to Sunderland
Joao Felix - 43 Million

Borussia Dortmund are currently in talks for Carney Chukuwuemka while Nicolas Jackson is still expected to move on before the close of the transfer window. This is obviously a club that knows to sell, Manchester United should come and learn. Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho are still on the list at Old Trafford with United finding it hard to get buyers

Players like Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell however still remain, for cheap but with high wages. However these ones seem to be the exception to the rules and should find a willing club sooner or later. Chelsea seems to have found the right balance between buying and selling.

Arsenal played Tottenham yesterday and it felt like nothing much had changed despite Mikel Arteta going all out to spend millions again. New signings Gyokeres and Zubimendi started on the bench, no surprises there. What was surprising however was that Arsenal ended up losing the match and star player Bukayo Saka was allowed to spend over 70 minutes on the pitch. Major complaint over the last few seasons has been about Saka been overused and yesterday, it continued. It was not until he went down after a tackle that Arteta started to look towards replacing him.

Arsenal have spent about 50million on Noni Madueke from Chelsea but I doubt that amount was spent on him to be a backup. The plus side is Madueke can play both right and left wings comfortably and let's not forget Ethan Nwaneri who just signed a new deal at the club. Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli are still at the club and Gabriel Jesus can also play on the wings. So now, we can only pray that Arteta starts learning how to rotate his squad and give players like Saka and Odegaard the necessary rest they required.

Else? Nothing for Arsenal next season!

Rasmus Hojlund, is he a bad Striker or is he just in the wrong team at the wrong time? That is the heavy question Manchester United need to get an answer to before the season starts. Against Bournemouth in their latest pre-season, he showed predatory instincts , making the right runs expected of a top tier 9 and he got a goal.

The problem now? Is he ready to step up for the new season or is this just another mirage? Do Manchester United need to go out and get a proper 9 or not? News are that United management are looking at Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko as their main striker for next season. After spending money on Cunha and Mbeumo, they need a proper 9 to finish up the chances that are going to be created. United had a hard time scoring goals last season and had to often rely on the individual brilliance of Bruno Fernandes. Hojlund has spent 2 seasons in England now and has yet to get past 10 league goals in any season, last season he scored just 4 league goals as United ended 15th in the league.

Let's not talk about Zirkzee who everyone seems to agree is better as a backup striker and nothing more.

Do you think Manchester United should go out and spend millions on Watkins or Sesko or they should just have some more faith in Hojlund?

With the amount of big money been spent on transfer right now, English big boys are not playing around at all. Everyone wants insane firepower, 100 league goals campaign, score me, I score more kind of match. But in all of these, which team has the best Attack in the league now?

LIVERPOOL - Current champions of England and right now looking like the team with the most dangerous attack even with the death of Diogo Jota and sale of Luiz Diaz to Bayern Munich. Let's look at who they have : Mo Salah, Etikite, Gakpo, Nunez. However, Nunez is expected to be sold while Liverpool are still high on the pursuit of Alexander Isak. Forget numbers, those are dangerous players to any defense.

MANCHESTER CITY - Erling Haaland! For the last couple of years, that has been one of the most dangerous 9s on the planet, how exactly do you stop him? Let's see if it is possible this season. Now look at the others, Marmoush, Doku, Foden, Savinho and Jack Grealish (Who is looking likely to leave). Remember Pep Guardiola is coach and coming back with a vengeance.

CHELSEA - Cole Palmer, Joao Pedro, Pedro Neto, Liam Delap, Nicholas Jackson, Jamie Gittens... A collection of young, hungry forwards. They might just be the hungriest strike force in the league but just how much can they deliver? we are about to find out.

ARSENAL - Is this the season that the gunners finally use their firepower to win the league? Mikel Arteta has gotten the gunman 9 Arsenal always needed. Gyokeres is here, rememeber they have Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Trossard, Saka the great and Gabriel Martinelli? Cna anyone really outscore the gunners? Well, They are called the gunners for a reasom.

Which team do you think has got the best attack?

One of the best strikers in the Premier League has finally put himself on the market as news broke out this morning that Alexander Isak has asked to leave Newcastle. He is currently not part of the club's pre-season as he has asked to be let go. Now where do you think he should go? Let's look at a few options.

Liverpool - This is looking like the most likely option especially after they had informed Newcastle a few weeks ago that they are willing to pay up to 120million for Isak. This is despite spending about 300 Million on Wirtz, Frimpong, Kerkez and Etikite(Who just came in a few days ago). But with the death of Diogo Jota, the likely sale of Darwin Nunez and Luiz Diaz, Liverpool are going to be short upfront. The good part is Ekitike can play in a front 2 or 3 so his purchase should not stop Liverpool from going for Isak. Also, they are the defending champions and favorites to win the league again this season.

Manchester United (Lol) - I am not sorry for laughing but Manchester United need a striker, I mean everyone knows that. The reason for the laugh however is why should Isak go to United? What exactly can they offer him? The 300K a week salary he wants? There are other clubs that can offer him that salary and other things United can not offer for now and the foreseeable future. Title challenges and UEFA Champions League football.

Saudi clubs - No reason but the money? It is good and we must all remember that football is a job first and foremost.

Stay at Newcastle for another year - This might just be the best option, in a year's time clubs like Bayern Munich and Barcelona are going to be in the market for a new striker, possibly Real Madrid too. Isak may decide to wait a year more before making his move one of these European Giants. Note - His contract with Newcastle runs till 2028 so the ball is not really in his court.

Where do you think he should go?

Arsenal kicked off their pre-season with a 1-0 win over Italian Giants AC milan. The match which was played under extreme heat conditions in Singapore had both teams fielding most of their strongest players. After a cagey first half, Bukayo Saka got on the end of a beautiful cross from Kiwior to give Arsenal the lead. Captain Odegaard had the chance to out Arsenal 2 goals up but wasted too much time before taking his shot.

Man of the match was Milan goalkeeper Terranciano who made several amazing saves to keep the score line respectable.

New signing Martin Zubimendi made his debut in the second half while there was no sign of Noni Madueke. Madueke is expected to make his debut in the next few days as he joins up with the rest of the team in the far east.

Manchester United have finally gotten rid of Marcus Rashford, for now. The striker is on his way to Barcelona after agreeing a loan deal. it is also a good thing for Barcelona as they finally get a left winger they have been looking for. Nico Williams and Luiz Diaz have proven too expensive for the Broke club (Sorry o). It is also a new platform to restart his career after doing nothing reasonable over the last two years. We are about to find out if Manchester United is the reason.

Anyway, back to transfers. which club do you think Garnacho is going to end up? BetKing Transfer specials is offering 9 Odds for him stay at United, lower Odds for him to end up at Chelsea. There are also for Nottingham Forest to sign him. Check out BetKing transfer specials for other sweet odds sha.

Other players United want to sell include Jadon Sancho, Antony and Garnacho. Me personally o, I feel they should add Onana and Luke Shaw to that list and sell them. They need to bring in serious and fit people, also United should get a proper box to box midfielder in to compliment Bruno.
