Manchester United isn’t playing around this summer and has had arguably the best transfer window out of all Premier League teams. Other than PSG, the potential Manchester United starting XI 2021 looks like the best in Europe.
The last time Manchester United was Premier League champion, 2013, I was finishing up middle school. Could this group of players be the ones to end its league-title drought?
LONDON - With Tottenham Hotspur confirming Érik Lamela joined Sevilla on Monday, the last of the signings — dubbed “the magnificent seven” — to arrive in the wake of Gareth Bale's $117.44 million sale to Real Madrid in the summer of 2013 has left the club.
What became of the seven signed in 2013?

The reason you won’t see some of the best men's soccer players at the Olympics is sort of peculiar. In order to preserve the status of the World Cup as the greatest international event for men’s soccer, an Olympic soccer age limit was instituted for the men's tournament.
The men's Olympic soccer tournament only features players under 23 years old, with three exceptions for each country.
Con el duelo entre los Gallos Blancos de Querétaro y el América hoy se inicia una nueva temporada de la Liga MX. El nombre Guard1anes que se usó en la campaña anterior, para agradecer a los trabajadores de la salud que combaten la pandemia de Covid-19, se mete en el baúl y ahora su denominador oficial será "Grita México".
Se acabó la espera. México debuta la madrugada de este jueves en los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio con un sueño único: repetir el oro conseguido en Londres 2012.
El Tri no es ni de cerca el favorito -un honor que quizás recae en la selección de España-, pero eso no impide, como diría Chicharito Hernández, "imaginar cosas chingonas".
Los nominados por el técnico Jaime Lozano para la justa de los anillos son:
After winning his first major international trophy, Lionel Messi posted a picture with a wide smile holding the Copa América trophy and it quickly became the most-liked photo of an athlete on Instagram ever.

Men’s Olympic soccer is a weird experience. Not quite a major international as it is on the women’s side and not quite a full youth competition, the result is a bizarre amalgamation of young and old players on the 16 national team rosters. So before you wake up at 4 a.m. and wonder who in the holy name of Ted Lasso are these blokes running around in Japan, here’s a guide for the weird and notable over-age Olympic soccer players to watch this summer.
For over half a decade now, Jordan Pickford has been billed as the next great English goalkeeper.
He represented the national team from the U-16 side onward, was playing senior football at age 17 and became a Premier League starter by 22.
Pickford was Sunderland's best performer in his first season as a regular in 2016/17, and he was even named to WhoScored?'s EPL team of the season in spite of the Black Cats' relegation.
Maybe it’s just the nostalgia of waking up in the middle of the night to watch the 2002 World Cup, but something about the idea of throwing my circadian rhythm out of whack to watch soccer fills me with excitement. If you’re like me and want to watch the USWNT and/or Mexico men compete live in Japan this summer, here’s our guide for how to watch Olympic soccer in the U.S. And if you just want to watch the games later at normal human hours Stateside, we’ve got you covered, too.
