Man Utd sign Maguire

-
The Red Devils finally landed their man as they look to improve 
on a disappointing sixth-place finish in the Premier League last 
season


Manchester United have completed the signing of Harry 
Maguire from Leicester City in an £80 million ($97m) deal that
 sees the centre-back sign a six-year deal at Old Trafford.

The long-running saga came to an end on Monday as the 
England international put pen to paper to become part of Ole 
Gunnar Solskjaer's rebuild at the Theatre of Dreams.

The move sees Maguire surpass Virgil van Dijk to become the 
most expensive defender of all time, with the Netherlands 
international having joined Liverpool for £75m in January 
2018.

Fans have been calling for defensive reinforcements for some
time at United, with many believing Rio Ferdinand and 
Nemanja Vidic to have been the last two truly reliable centre-
halves at the club.

Sarri given a month to save his job

-
Maurizio Sarri’s fate as Chelsea’s head coach will in effect be determined over the remainder of this month as the Italian seeks to convince the club’s hierarchy that he can recover some poise and still deliver Champions League qualification for next season. Sunday’s humiliating 6-0 thrashing at Manchester City, Chelsea’s worst defeat since 1991 and a loss which confirmed a drop from fourth to sixth place, has left Sarri clinging to his position only seven months into a three-year deal. The head coach will hope progress in the Europa League, starting with Thursday’s knockout tie at Malmö, earns him time, given the competition’s winners gain entry into next season’s Champions League. Yet eliminating the side who finished third in the Swedish league last season would only marginally bolster his job prospects unless a team clearly struggling to come to terms with his tactical demands can improve their performances over a daunting run of domestic fixtures. Chelsea face Manchester...
