Mbappé le suelta una pullita a Henry llamándole «viejo»

Existe un claro vínculo entre los dos mejores delanteros franceses de sus respectivas generaciones, aunque nunca hayan tenido la oportunidad de compartir el terreno de juego. Thierry Henry, que ahora tiene 48 años, sigue siendo una fuente constante de inspiración para Kylian Mbappé, quien actualmente persigue los últimos goles que le faltan para superar a Olivier Giroud como máximo goleador histórico de los Bleus.

Exclusiva de Henry: Mbappé, criticado por sus altos estándares

Thierry Henry ha salido en defensa del delantero del Real Madrid Kylian Mbappé, insistiendo en que su compatriota francés ha sido injustamente criticado a lo largo de su carrera debido a las altas expectativas que se tienen de él. Mbappé saltó a la fama con el AS Mónaco antes de fichar por el París Saint-Germain por una cifra de nueve dígitos y ganar la Copa del Mundo con Francia como titular clave cuando aún era un adolescente. Hasta la fecha, Mbappé ha marcado 365 goles en 460 partidos con su club, además de 55 goles en 94 partidos con la selección francesa, solo superado por Olivier Giroud en la lista de máximos goleadores de todos los tiempos de Les Bleus. A pesar de todos estos logros, Mbappé nunca ha ganado la Liga de Campeones como jugador y, aunque se le augura que ganará muchos Balones de Oro en la era posterior al duopolio de Lionel Messi y Cristiano Ronaldo, aún no ha conseguido ningún Balón de Oro.

Valverde y los 20 jugadores del exclusivo club 10/10 de L'Equipe

En una plantilla del Real Madrid repleta de galácticos, Fede Valverde rara vez destaca por lo que aporta al equipo blanco, a pesar de su evidente importancia para el conjunto. Sin embargo, el miércoles acaparó toda la atención tras su impresionante hat-trick en la primera parte, que acabó con el Manchester City en la Liga de Campeones. Su actuación también le valió uno de los elogios más exclusivos: una puntuación de 10/10 por parte de L'Equipe.

Fábregas apuesta por el «animal» del Como para la convocatoria de Francia

Cesc Fábregas está convencido de que el portero del Como, Jean Butez, está listo para debutar con la selección francesa tras una serie de impresionantes actuaciones. Tras una reñida victoria por 2-1 a domicilio ante el Cagliari, el técnico español elogió a su guardameta, describiendo su ética de trabajo en términos elogiosos, mientras el Lariani continúa su improbable carrera hacia una posible plaza en la Liga de Campeones.

¿Ha eclipsado Mbappé a Henry? Explicación del debate sobre las «generaciones».

Kylian Mbappé es una superestrella mundial ganadora de la Copa del Mundo por méritos propios, pero ¿se puede considerar que el «galáctico» del Real Madrid ha eclipsado la leyenda de su compatriota francés Thierry Henry? Jeremie Aliadiere, excompañero en el Arsenal de otro «invencible» del norte de Londres, ha explicado por qué las listas de los mejores de todos los tiempos siempre estarán influenciadas por el favoritismo generacional.

History

Manchester United, often simply referred to as "United," are one of the most iconic and successful football clubs in the world, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club was founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878 by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath. The team changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to its current home, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Famous players

Manchester United have been home to some of the greatest footballers in history. Sir Bobby Charlton, a World Cup winner with England in 1966, is arguably the most iconic figure in the club's history. Other legendary players include George Best, known for his flair and skill, and Eric Cantona, who brought a winning mentality to the club during the 1990s. More recent stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and Paul Scholes have also contributed significantly to the club's success.

Honours

Manchester United are one of the most decorated clubs in English football, having won a record 20 Premier League titles (formerly the First Division). They have also lifted the FA Cup 12 times, the League Cup five times, and the UEFA Champions League three times. The club's dominance in English football was particularly evident during the 1990s and early 2000s under manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Managers

Sir Alex Ferguson is undoubtedly the most successful manager in Manchester United's history. He spent 26 years at the club, leading them to an unprecedented era of success. Before Ferguson, managers like Matt Busby and Wilf McGuinness played crucial roles in shaping the club's identity. More recent managers, including David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, and José Mourinho, have faced the challenge of maintaining the club's high standards.

Stadium

Old Trafford, often referred to as the "Theatre of Dreams," is one of the most famous stadiums in the world. With a capacity of roughly 75,000, it is among the largest football stadiums in the United Kingdom. The stadium has hosted numerous major matches, including UEFA Champions League finals and FIFA World Cup matches.

Location

Manchester United are based in the city of Manchester, which is located in the northwest of England. The club's home ground, Old Trafford, is situated in the Trafford borough. Manchester is a major industrial city with a rich footballing heritage.

Owners

In February 2024, British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe's company, INEOS, acquired a significant 25% stake in Manchester United. This acquisition granted Ratcliffe sporting control over the club, placing him in a position to influence key decisions related to its operations.

Ratcliffe has already made a substantial financial commitment to Manchester United. His large investments demonstrate his dedication to the club's success and his willingness to provide the necessary resources for its growth.

Renewals for existing ticket holders have closed, and new tickets will not be widely available until at least the 2026/27 season, when the Etihad Stadium expansion is expected to release more seats.
