Manchester United manager Michael Carrick has urged the club to keep hold of captain Bruno Fernandes this summer, despite lingering doubts over the Portuguese playmaker's long-term future. Following a crucial victory over Aston Villa, Carrick addressed the speculation surrounding his star's potential future and praised his excellent form for the Red Devils.
The Manchester United captain was the architect behind a vital 3-1 victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford, providing the final pass for goals from Casemiro and Matheus Cunha. By recording two assists in the match, Fernandes took his season tally to 16, moving one clear of the 15 assists David Beckham managed during the iconic 1999-2000 season.
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has launched a scathing attack on Arne Slot's Liverpool, branding them "bad champions" following a disappointing 1-1 Premier League draw against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. The outspoken pundit questioned the squad's mentality, accusing them of over-celebrating last season's title success while failing to compete for the current crown.
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has strongly advised his old club against appointing interim boss Michael Carrick as their permanent manager. Despite acknowledging his impressive start and recent winning streak, the outspoken pundit believes the Old Trafford hierarchy must look elsewhere, insisting there are far superior candidates available for the demanding role.
Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has refused to criticise the Anfield crowd after boos greeted the final whistle during their stalemate with Tottenham. Despite leading through a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, the Reds failed to kill the game off and were punished when Richarlison equalised in stoppage time, dealing a massive blow to Liverpool's top-five ambitions.
What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?
Currently, the most cost efficient package looks to be picking up a TV deal through Virgin Media or EE TV.
Existing TV or broadband customers can add TNT Sports to Virgin Media for £12 per month and Sky Sports for £31.75 per month, adding on Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
