The lengthy saga, which began in November when the club was initially listed for sale, is finally nearing its conclusion. As reported by The Sun, the Qatari royal figure is on the brink of acquiring the Red Devils for an estimated sum of £6 billion ($7.9 billion). A specific handover date for Jassim to assume control has been arranged, and the Glazer family, who have faced criticism, won’t be allowed to maintain any ownership in the club. Ratcliffe, a British billionaire, had been the Qatari bid’s main rival, though it’s believed that his proposal would have included the Glazers continuing…

Mauricio Pochettino’s team displayed promise in their attacking efforts on Sunday, but the Argentine manager would have surely been disappointed with their defensive performance. The story of Chelsea’s day filled with lackluster defending began a mere seven minutes into the match at the London Stadium. Nayef Aguerd was granted an abundance of space to head in a corner delivered by West Ham newcomer James Ward-Prowse. The second goal scored by the hosts painted an equally unflattering picture of Mauricio Pochettino’s squad. A sequence of comical errors resulted in Michail Antonio nearly blasting the net with a powerful shot just eight…

The race is once again on for a coveted Premier League Golden Boot, with established superstars set to battle it out for the prestigious crown of the English top-flight’s leading goal scorer. Erling Haaland dominates the Premier League top scorer chart for the 2023/24 season, both metaphorically and literally. His remarkable proficiency in front of the goal was evident last year, as the Norwegian striker set a new record by scoring 36 goals in a single Premier League season, ultimately securing the 2022/23 Golden Boot award. Harry Kane, the runner-up with 30 goals, would have typically claimed the title in most…
Chelsea set an unwanted record after their 3-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham on Sunday in the Premier League. WHAT HAPPENED? With the defeat against the Hammers, Chelsea have now lost four consecutive London derbies for the first time in the Premier League.

During the first half, United’s hopes of a penalty were dashed as Alejandro Garnacho’s shot hit the extended arm…
Casemiro may have felt a little lonely in the middle of the Old Trafford pitch on Monday night. With Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount bombing forwards, the Brazilian was often left exposed. “The danger of that was plain to see, with Wolves firing off 23 shots during the game. With some better finishing, the result could have been very different. “It’s interesting then that the same Man Utd side comes to play a Tottenham team today who, under new boss Ange Postecoglou will look to flood the midfield. “Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr will be there. James Maddison will looking…

Fulham vs Brentford, Saturday 3pm Is there are a more underrated player in the Premier League than Rico Henry? He’s been consistently performing at this level for two seasons now, showing strong one-on-one defensive nous and providing a huge threat when joining attacks. The fact that he hasn’t even been considered for a spot in England’s 26-man World Cup squad speaks volumes. In the event that Luke Shaw or Ben Chilwell were unavailable – players to whom he’s not significantly inferior, by the way – he would be the next in line, and quite a distance ahead at that. In…
