It’s time for English football with Manchester United’s 0-0 draw on the Aston Villa pitch. A result which only pushes back a little further this eternal question: when will Erik ten Hag go away? Because with this result, Manchester has only 8 points over the first 7 days, synonymous with 14th place. A meeting is planned very quickly to decide on his case. Among the many contenders for his succession, a surprising new name has been added: that of Xavi according to information fromEl Nacional. Without a club since his departure from Barça, he is seen as the ideal profile to launch a reconstruction at Old Trafford. And to convince him to come, the club is ready to offer him Fermin Lopez as a bonus. Manchester knows that Xavi appreciates him a lot and makes this signing an asset to seduce him. Barça does not want to sell its young player, but in the event of a big offer, it is difficult to rule out the possibility when we know the club’s finances.
End of adventure between Pogba and Juve
Paul Pogba’s departure from Juventus is taking shape according to information from Daily Mail. The Frenchman saw his suspension for doping reduced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. He can train again from January and return to competition next March. The player is impatient to return to the Blues and even simply play football again, but not with the Old Lady. The last few months have been emotionally difficult and he believes a clean break with the Italian team is the best solution for him. A decision which delights Juve, who had absolutely no intention of counting on him again and starting to pay him his big salary of €11 million per year. Hired until 2026, Pogba will discuss with the club to find an agreement to end his contract. It remains to be seen where the Pickaxe will bounce.
