@FabrizioRomano Well deserved! 👏 Only the 2nd centre-back in history to win Golden Boy after de Ligt. Barça’s 5th winner (Messi, Pedri, Gavi, Yamal, Cubarsí). Absolute monster at 19.
@FabrizioRomano Carrick saying “it’s not going to happen” while United keep dropping points is peak United 2026. The man has more loyalty than the squad has intensity right now.
Shea Lacey has shown real quality every time he’s come on.
Yet he’s still mostly stuck on the bench while Amad ahead of him continues to struggle.
Should Carrick finally start him after the international break or is it still too soon? 👀 @ManUtd
Manchester United somehow dragged a 4-4 out of Aston Villa after being 4-2 down.
Still in the relegation zone. Still creating the better chances (3.5 xG). Still looking fragile.
Is this a turning point or just another false dawn under Carrick? 🧐
@SydneyCityBlue@somu_sj@FabrizioRomano City don’t miss top 4 because of Maresca.
They miss it if they get a points deduction.
Without that, they win the league.
@FabrizioRomano Mourinho complaining about the schedule is funny.
The same man who used to overload teams with midweek games and demand full intensity every single time.
Now that it’s his players who are tired, it’s a “joke” and a “stunt”.
The players do need rest. But the hypocrisy is loud.
Enzo Maresca’s start at Man City is being judged way too harshly.
He became the first manager in Premier League history to win his first 7 league games in charge. 11 wins from 16 games overall. Champions League progressing. League Cup in the quarters.
Yes, the Community Shield was lost and they’ve had a couple of slip-ups. But replacing Guardiola was always going to be the hardest job in football.
Early days. The numbers so far are excellent.

@FabrizioRomano Putting the interests of the Portuguese national team first by ending the international career of its greatest ever player. Bold strategy.
Happy Birthday Elliot Anderson. Currently 1st among midfielders in duels won, short passes completed, accurate passes in the final third, touches and fouls won this season, plus 90% pass completion. The aggression + efficiency combination is elite. @ManCity#PremierLeague
It’s rarely just the manager or the players in isolation. United’s issues look structural — inconsistent recruitment, a squad that still lacks clear profiles in key areas, and a lack of a defined playing identity. Changing the coach again without fixing the process underneath rarely solves it. Deschamps walking away (if the reports are true) says as much about the environment as the current form.
@ManCity@elljanderson Happy birthday @elljanderson. Already showing the same traits that made him stand out last season — 66 duels won in the Premier League so far and a dominant midfield display vs Leipzig (10/11 duels, 7 tackles + the assist). The engine is there.
@Extra__Sausage@talkSPORT I agree with your points but Kane’s said himself that he wants to win the champions league above everything else, something that was never going to happen at Tottenham.
@yidspur1981@talkSPORT It’s not rocket science Michael! you aren’t going to get a prime Kane back are you, you’d be getting a 35-36 year old Kane when the legs are probably gone…..
