Wayne Rooney ha criticado con dureza a Mohamed Salah, a quien llama «egoísta» y «irrespetuoso» por su última queja pública contra el entrenador Arne Slot. La leyenda del Manchester United pide, además, que el egipcio sea excluido de la convocatoria para la despedida en Anfield el próximo fin de semana.
Ray Parlour, estrella de los «Invincibles», ha explicado a GOAL cómo Mikel Arteta puede convertirse en el nuevo Arsène Wenger del Arsenal e igualar la longevidad de uno de los entrenadores más emblemáticos de la historia de los «Gunners». El equipo londinense aspira al doblete de Premier League y Liga de Campeones, y ganar títulos ayudará a que su técnico español se mantenga en el cargo.
Al final, el Manchester United no tenía otra opción: tras llevar al club a la Liga de Campeones durante su periodo como entrenador interino, Michael Carrick está a punto de ser nombrado entrenador titular de los Red Devils. Pero, después de restar importancia a ese logro, sabe que el verdadero trabajo empieza ahora.
Tras su sonada salida del Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso se hace cargo del Chelsea FC, otro club sumido en el caos. ¿Una decisión valiente o una misión suicida?
Roy Keane duda de que Michael Carrick sea el indicado para devolver al Manchester United a lo más alto, pese a su buena etapa como entrenador interino. El legendario ex capitán muestra preocupación porque el club le entregará el cargo de forma definitiva tras el tercer puesto en la Premier.
