Chelsea midfield maestro Jorginho is reportedly the ‘joker’ to ‘look out for’ as he has a propensity to burn his team-mates legs with ‘burning hot studs’.On the pitch, the Italian is a cool and composed presence who can spin on the head of a pin and dictate matches with his passing. When club captain Cesar Azpilicueta is not playing, Jorginho regularly takes the armband and acts as the vice-captain for the west Londoners.

Raphael Varane has revealed why he wanted to keep the shirt number he first wore at Real Madrid when he completed his move to Manchester United a year ago. United signed the French defender on a four-year deal worth £42million a year ago, and he quickly established himself as a key player at the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo might have signed for Chelsea this summer had Thomas Tuchel not been advised to steer clear of him by former Manchester United interim boss Ralf Rangnick.Blues owner Todd Boehly was very keen on bringing Ronaldo to Stamford Bridge as his marquee summer signing and even met with the player's agent Jorge Mendes to discuss a deal.But the move was vetoed by Tuchel, who, according reports, was put off after getting in touch with old pal Rangnick to ask him what working with Ronaldo was like.READ MORE: Fans fear Cristiano Ronaldo is 'finished' after duel with Mohammed Salisu in Man Utd winRangnick's warning should come as little surprise, particularly after the German - who managed Ronaldo for six months last term - criticised the Portugal superstar's reluctance to press shortly after quitting Old Trafford at the end of last season.He said: "[Ronaldo is] not a pressing monster.

Chelsea transfer target Anthony Gordon was seen waving to Everton fans after the Toffees 1-1 away draw with Brentford.The youngster’s tidy finish looked to have put the Merseysiders on their way to a vital victory over Thomas Frank’s side. Vitaly Janelt may have bundled in a late equaliser to ensure the spoils were shared, but the Everton winger’s dynamic and tireless performance was the talk of the town.

Thomas Tuchel was dragged away from the pitch after Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Leicester City in what fans have called a ‘sickening agenda’ against the Blues boss.His side fended off a late fight back from Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, overcoming an early Conor Gallagher red card to grab all three points. And it marked a wonderful afternoon whereby Raheem Sterling scored his first two goals for the club in the second-half.But in footage posted on social media after the game, head coach Tuchel was bizarrely interrupted mid-conversation and seemingly told to leave the pitch rather than being allowed to soak in the post-match atmosphere.READ MORE: Chelsea fans furious at Conor Gallagher's 'utter stupidity' after red card vs LeicesterTwitter user TheLampardView tweeted the clip with the caption: “Tuchel tried to come on the pitch AFTER full time and was immediately told to leave.

Bruno Fernandes has urged Manchester United's dressing room to maintain high standards for the rest of the season.

Southampton wasn't nearly as emphatic or impressive as their win over Liverpool five days ago, but getting three points is all Manchester United will care about, and rightly so.Bruno Fernandes' sumptuous volley opened the scoring for the Red Devils, crucially breaking the deadlock after a lacklustre first half display.

After the scintillating performance his players produced against Liverpool, every single one of them deserved to start this afternoon.Ten Hag made some big calls on Monday, namely dropping Cristiano Ronaldo and captain Harry Maguire, and he stuck to his guns again today, opting for the same youthful exuberance that so fluidly opened up Jurgen Klopp's side up on Monday.It wasn't the best of team performances, but the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Elanga and Lisandro Martinez are all looking fitter, sharper and happier - and they've got Ten Hag's faith in them to thank for that.Sum up Manchester United's performance today in one word in the comments section below.United didn't splash £60million on Casemiro just to leave him on the bench! Ten Hag might have been wise to keep an unchanged side, but he was wiser still to realise when the game needed the Brazilian's energetic tenacity and defensive astuteness.With the visitors holding on to a narrow 1-0 lead, Casemiro was introduced.

Glenn Hoddle has inferred that Liverpool have already slipped up by giving Manchester City a five-point head start in the Premier League title race at the beginning of the new season.

Liverpool have been absolutely dynamite in the transfer market under Jurgen Klopp.Naby Keita aside, they've pretty much nailed every single one of their big money signings, and they've managed to do a fair bit of shafting when letting their players leave too.Their primary victim (aside from Barcelona) has been Bournemouth, who they've managed to swindled out of more than £40million over the past few years.That might not sound like an awful lot, but when you consider who the players were, it was arguably verging on daylight robbery. But how have the Liverpool cast-offs fared since? Let's find out.READ MORE: Jurgen Klopp confirms Liverpool will sign new midfielder and says 'I was wrong'Jordon Ibe was once seen as the successor to Raheem Sterling, though would end up leaving the Reds a year after Sterling's multi-million pound move to Manchester City, joining Bournemouth for a club-record £15million.He made 26 appearances in his debut campaign at the Vitality Stadium, scoring a whopping zero goals, and after underperforming again in his second season he dropped out of the first team.Ibe left the club on free when his contract expired in 2020 and joined Derby, though made just one appearance all season amid a battle with depression.

Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Leicester City centre-back Wesley Fofana, according to reports.The Athletic reports that there has been finally a breakthrough in the saga and that the Frenchman is set to move to Stamford Bridge.The Foxes had rejected an improved offer from the Blues for the 21-year-old earlier this week but now a deal has been struck, it appears. Reports suggest the fee is £76.4m, which would be a world record for a centre-back, surpassing the £73.94m Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire.

Manchester United could field the smallest possible centre-back partnership out of all 20 Premier League sides should they pair Lisandro Martinez with a fringe star. Martinez stands as the smallest central defender in the division at 175cm (5ft 7in) - but has already proved his quality as United climbed off the foot of the table with a 2-1 win over Liverpool.
