‘Not good enough’, ‘Sell’: Some Manchester United fans react to 23-year-old’s display vs QPR
Some Manchester United fans on Twitter reacted to the display of Axel Tuanzebe during the 4-2 friendly defeat to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday. The 23-year-old was picked to partner Teden Mengi in central defence, and he had a tough afternoon before he was substituted in the 78th minute. Tuanzebe was the fourth-choice centre-back last season with Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly preferred ahead of him by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. With United hot in the pursuit of Raphael Varane, there are suggestions that Tuanzebe could be loaned out to secure regular first-team football. After the performance at Loftus Road, some fans believe Tuanzebe needs another loan stint while others feel the club should offload him permanently. Twitter reactions: Tuanzebe and Williams definitely need a l...
€60m-rated star makes Barcelona transfer decision, prefers to join only one club – report
Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann only wants to join Atletico Madrid this summer, Spanish publication Sport claims. The Frenchman has been tipped to leave the Blaugrana as they look to reduce their surplus wage bill to meet the La Liga salary cap. They recently offered him in a swap deal for Atletico’s Saul Niguez, but the talks broke down after a disagreement over various reasons. The Blaugrana valued Griezmann higher than Saul. They wanted some cash included in the move that would see the Frenchman return to Atletico. While Griezmann was prepared to take a pay-cut, Saul wanted a hike on his current wages that did not seem feasible for the Catalan giants. It is now reported that the Blaugrana have not held talks with any foreign clubs for Griezmann as the forward is only focused on Atle...
