Watch out Pogba and Lukaku, there’s a new Manchester man with a magical touch around. During a preseason session in LA, Spanish shot-stopper David de Gea showed that he’s just as skilled with his hands as he is with his feet. Poor Joel Periera finds himself on the wrong end of a nutmeg from his fellow keeper.

In a study recently published in the journal Science, scientists at Queen Mary University of London taught bees to play soccer. Yes, bees.
The study was really focused on bees' complex learning patterns and adaptability, and one of the tests involves teaching bees to roll balls into specific areas.
It's International Champions Cup season, and you know what that means: footballers partaking in American sports, most notably baseball, which is the only major sport in season at this time. As such, Angel di Maria, who is in Florida with PSG ahead of their match against Tottenham on Saturday, went to a Miami Marlins game. He hung out with the players, juggled a baseball and threw out the first pitch.
The International Champions Cup begings today and with it comes an assault of hyperbole, a glut of sponsors and a legion of mercenary money-grubbers. It’s hell on earth as ESPN tells us that Miami’s El Clasico will be the biggest event in American soccer history, Heineken encourages you to consume a pony keg by way of IV drip and Manchester United plant their imperial flag in Sandy, Utah.
