Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has warned Anthony Martial not to listen to his agent, if he wants to succeed at the club. Mourinho started Martial against Middlebrough on Saturday and he equalized for the Red Devils, as they came from a goal down to win 2-1 at Old Trafford. Martial has found opportunities limited of late and it led to his agent, Philippe Lamboley, talking up a January move for the player. Lamboley even claimed that he in talks with La Liga side, Sevilla, over a loan move. But Mourinho has asked Martial to pay more attention to him, citing the way he handled Henrikh Mkhitaryan as proof. “He played, he created, he scored, he fought. I think he was very positive,” Mourinho said after the game. “I know that he is a top talent. I knew Mkhitaryan was a top talent and I was not playing him. “In this moment he plays even left-back when the team is winning and needs to defend with a little bit more balance. “So Anthony has to listen to me and not listen to h

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has said Chelsea must be “annoyed” by his side keeping up pace with them in the Premier League title race. Chelsea extended their winning run to 13 matches on Saturday afternoonz, before the Reds claimed a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield later in the day. The win means Liverpool are still six points behind leaders Chelsea, while City are now 10 points adrift. “How I said before, we cannot look at Chelsea,” Klopp told a news conference after City game on Saturday night. “They are obviously unbelievably strong of course. They are in an outstanding run. They are in a 13-game run – not bad. “But can you imagine how annoying it is when you win 13 games in a row and [we] are only six points behind? “I’m pretty sure they don’t think about this, so why should we? It is completely not important what happens in this moment, apart from that we win games. That’s the only thing we are really interested in. “It’s so difficult in this league, it’s unbe

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has told his players to forget about the Premier League title for now, after they went 10 points behind leaders, Chelsea. Georginio Wijnaldum scored the only goal, as City were beaten 1-0 at Anfield on Saturday. City will drop to fifth place, if Arsenal and Tottenham defeat Crystal Palace and Watford respectively on Sunday. And Guardiola has called for focus on the next game against Burnley on Monday. “When you are in that situation [10 points behind] you have to focus on the next one and the next game,” Guardiola told BBC Match of the Day. “Don’t talk about the target of the Premier League and things like this. “We play Burnley in the next game and we can see what happens.”        

Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has claimed he is “sad” despite their 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on Saturday. It was their fifth straight Premier League victory, but United needed to fight back from a goal down. Grant Leadbitter gave the visitors a second-half lead, before goals from Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba won it for the Red Devils. Mourinho says he did not enjoy the victory over his former assistant, Aitor Karanka too much. “It’s a very good feeling, as I was expecting I don’t feel the same happiness because my brother is on the other side,” Mourinho told the BBC. “Aitor Karanka did his job amazing away but my brother is sad so I’m sad. “My players were phenomenal. We managed to do something I love – bring the fans to the pitch. The last 15 mins were 70,000 on the pitch against 11.” On why Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s goal was disallowed, Mourinho added: “(Referee) Mr Mason is the one that knows that but he knows he made a mistake. I think it’s sad because referees are s

If anything, he seems to be doing his best to live up to that reputation as can be seen in the new year message he sent out today. America is in for an interesting four years if he continues this way.
