The very early leaks of the 2018-19 Manchester United home kit have now proven to be very predictive. United’s shirt supplier Adidas took down the red kit’s promotional video after it had already leaked online Monday night.
Have a watch below, as the promo video is still widely available online, despite Adidas removing it. According to some reports, this video was supposedly to debut on Thursday.

It is expected that they will do so with Leroy Sane, Claudio Bravo and Aymeric Laporte, and that’s really about it as far as starting XI players go.

It’s version 1.0 of our 2019 NFL mock draft. The order is completely randomized at this point. Don’t read anything more into the order than that. The 2018 NFL Draft has not been taken into account, as it obviously has not transpired yet! We did not figure our 2018 NFL mock draft selections into this mock either, as that’s kind of overkill- engaging in that kind of behavior.
However, if you want to see the 2018 mock, go to this link. Team needs were sometimes, but mostly, not taken into account, as it’s still absurdly early for a 2019 mock draft in the truest sense. Really, it’s more of a glorified prospect list at this point, to be honest. Have issues with the mock draft picks?

Alexis Sanchez, one of three Manchester United players featured at the top of the team’s official Twitter account promoting their preseason exhibition tour, did not fly with the team to the United States yesterday.
The Chilean, acquired from Arsenal in the January transfer window, stayed back due to a “personal administrative issue.” Club spokespeople said that they hope Sanchez will be able to join up with the rest of the team at some point.

Forward Eden Hazard has been linked to Real Madrid for several years already, and the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus may just provide the perfect time and space for the Belgian to finally make the move. Perhaps his teammate for both club and country, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, could be joining him.
After helping guide Belgium to a third place finish in the 2018 World Cup, the highest in the nation’s history, Hazard made comments on Saturday that indicated he was ready to leave Chelsea. It was rather overt, and most observers, pundits and analysts read it as a call to Real Madrid to come and get him.

Eden Hazard was arguably the best player of this World Cup tournament, and it appears the Chelsea and Belgium star is now poised to move to the world’s best team. You can say that Hazard was robbed of the Golden Ball Award, which went to Croatia’s Luke Modric.
Well, it looks like Hazard will just have to settle for a massive rise in pay grade, and one that will make him club teammates with Modric. After Belgium beat England 2-0 yesterday in the World Cup third place game, Hazard made comments that hinted at his exit from Chelsea.

France won their second ever World Cup today, by a score of 4-2 over Croatia in the final and it was Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba who ended up scoring the game winning goal. It was the perfect way to cap off what was a phenomenal tournament for Pogba, who came into the competition saying that he had ambitions of bossing the World Cup.
He did just that and his form has both quieted his seemingly never ending train of critics, and elicited praise far and wide. Overall, it makes United supporters wonder if he can carry this top class form into the 2018-19 season for United.

Liverpool and Croatia defender Dejan Lovren used the afterglow of his nation’s World Cup semifinal victory over England as a chance to hit back at his critics. Three days ago Lovren said he fancies himself one of the best defenders in the world, and yesterday his club manager Jurgen Klopp backed up the boastful remarks.
While many Liverpool fans would obviously disagree with Lovren’s very inflated self-assessment, Klopp’s statements yesterday will no doubt inspire a few Reds supporters to reconsider their views of the Croatian defender
