As per the Mirror, Manchester City are reportedly keen on bringing in a new centre-back and left-back this summer.
City have been rather quiet in the transfer window this summer, having made only one permanent signing. But that could change as they have been linked with a move for both Jack Grealish and Harry Kane.

Chelsea and United States Men’s National Team star Christian Pulisic is an attacking midfielder by definition. His best and most natural position is on the left wing, but football/soccer is a team sport, so the 22-year-old must do what is necessary to help out the side.
Blues boss Thomas Tuchel is a defense-first kind of manager, and that’s reflected in just how stellar Chelsea were last season in that department. The German took a side that was middling in mid-table last year, and guided them to a Champions League title and a top four finish via their ability to hardly ever concede goals.

It was Cubs Convention 2020, about a couple months before the world shut down due to the covid-19 pandemic. Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts took to the stage, where he was cascaded by a chorus of boos. It was directed at him, sure, but the general vitriol was aimed at the then soon to be launched Marquee Network.
“You won’t be booing in a year,” Ricketts boldly proclaimed. Well, now it’s trade deadline day 2021, and we’re doing a whole lot more than just booing. The MLB Trade Deadline is like the market for a sports guest post, there is a ton of wheeling and dealing going on. And the Cubs were the biggest sellers of all.

The Harry Kane to Manchester City transfer narrative has long grown tedious, but it’s about to really get flared up now! Monday brought the day that Kane was set to report to Tottenham Hotspur training, following an extended holiday which came on the heels of international duty with England.
Kane is said to believe he has a gentleman’s agreement in place to leave the club, while Tottenham brass dispute this. It means we could see a “hold out” situation developing, and it will come down to whichever side blinks first.

If you want success, you have to dress for it, and the Manchester United 2021-22 away kit, which pays homage to the Class of ’92, reflect the ambitions and expectations of the club for this season. Given how they signed Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane this summer, while also not losing any players of note (at least not yet), they have overtly stated their intent this upcoming season.
Meanwhile a couple of United’s chief big six rivals have been largely inactive thus far in the transfer market. Of course we still have another month left in the window, so anything can happen.

Manchester City are yet to sign anybody of note this summer transfer window, and a big reason why is because they’re still focused on trying to reel in a couple of very big fish. Man City have been linked to Aston Villa Captain Jack Grealish and Tottenham talisman Harry Kane ever since the silly season started.
Will they finally sign either of the English superstar forwards? How about both? Well Grealish seems to be moving closer, as City have reportedly increased their bid to £100 million.

Graham Roberts, who played as a defender for Tottenham Hotspur, told Football FanCast (via Express) that the club should sell Hugo Lloris.
The Frenchman who is also the captain of the team arrived from Lyon in the summer of 2012 and established himself as the first choice. In the 2015/16 season, the keeper was made the skipper and cemented himself as one of the most important members of the squad.

1990s nostalgia is overall really hot right now, and that’s totally understandable, also every deserved, given how awesome that decade was 30 years ago. It was an extra special time for Manchester United too as they were just starting to reach the heights of their power, with the Sir Alex Ferguson golden era taking hold.
With that in mind, United have revealed their new away kit for the 21-22 season on Saturday, and it’s back to the future.
