Township Rollers Overview

Mauricio Pochettino no longer has much time left to prove his ability to restore Manchester United to the standing its supporters aspire to. The Argentine coach returns to the Premier League through the gateway of one of the clubs most in need of rebuilding, having taken over the role as successor to Michael Carrick, bringing with him a coaching legacy that combines the development of young talent, intense pressing and direct attacking play.

Serious questions are being asked of whether Cole Palmer will play for England again during Thomas Tuchel’s reign as Three Lions manager, with Darren Bent explaining to GOAL why the talented Chelsea playmaker faces “commitment” and Jude Bellingham problems. Having pulled out of an international camp in September, the 24-year-old was snubbed completely when the latest squad was named.

Manchester United are considering making an ambitious bid to sign French right-back Malo Gusto, who does not enjoy Chelsea's confidence, during the winter transfer window next January.

England captain Harry Kane has grown frustrated with international team-mates who opt out of Three Lions duty through minor injury concerns, according to Thomas Tuchel. The England boss has backed his skipper's stance, revealing that the striker is particularly unhappy with "50-50" decisions made by players to skip camp.
