But it is a reality now. I cannot say much more now until I get started. It's been crazy. Obviously, I am happy to be in Manchester first of all. This is a great opportunity for me and I am grateful to God, and to my agent, and the coach who has given me this opportunity to be here. Hello! Don't mourn the January transfer window, be grateful that you were alive to see Manchester United panic sign a striker over Skype.
You can't fast-forward experience, you can't short-cut it, it just comes in time. My concern when the Rangers offer came was 'if I stay at Liverpool maybe that might not come and maybe that is the one I need. Maybe that is made for me'. The 39-year-old also accepted he may have to manage elsewhere before being deemed suitable for his dream role at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp recently tipped the former Liverpool captain as his natural successor at Liverpool and the pair both signed contract extensions until 2024 on the same day.
The result left Southampton 12th with 34 points from 27 games while beleaguered Villa stayed 17th on 25 points, one above the relegation zone. The Saints dominated proceedings and debutant William Smallbone hit the post with a deflected shot in the sixth minute before Ireland striker Long netted the opener two minutes later.
He added: "We are stuck in our ways and have become very traditional, be it with dates or certain rules continuing because they always have done. But what is important here? It is not who achieves sporting success this year but having a healthy, long-term sustainable football pyramid. Our game is admired across the world and it is in a critical situation. We must find a way to save it. If it means pressing the reset button then that is what we must do because we don’t want to end up with another Bury or Macclesfield or Bolton situation.
Sporting gijon had some mixed results in their previous matches. They have won 2, lost 2 and drawn 1 of their last 5 matches. They are coming from a goalless draw against real Oviedo. They sit on 16th spot after 16 fixtures and they are slightly in better position than their opponent here.

The Premier League, the most lucrative football league in the world, has been suspended for a month and the clubs have asked players and managers to take a 30% cut in wages. The players' union, the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA), has yet to agree to a cut and argued after Friday's meeting ended without a resolution that smaller wages would reduce tax revenue for the National Health Service.
Liverpool are the latest club to join the chase to sign Jadon Sancho this summer.

Of course, I see plenty of goals in this match from Belarusian elite league and of course I will try that option. Generally, this two rivals, like all teams in this league are playing very efficient all the time and I don't see reason why they cannot continue that way and this time. Shakhtyor Reserves are very talented team and they are very offensive, so they are probably closer to win today. Slutsk is also solid so far in new season and they will surely score at least one goal in this duel. Yes, over is ok here and I will try.
Ultimately, anything but a comfortable Preston win would be a huge surprise. They are a stronger side than Luton on paper and that is more than reflected in the 11 points that separate the two on the table.

Bayern were again without top scorer Robert Lewandowski with a knee injury.

We have the VAR but the referee didn't want to go and have a look at the play.
However my goalkeeper this week is Newcastle's Martin Dubravka. The Slovakia international's performance away to Wolves was immense. He made two world-class saves; one with his feet and the other he practically pulled the ball out of the net. If you don't believe me, ask his manager Steve Bruce. Did you know? Dubravka made two saves from shots in the six-yard area in Newcastle's 1-1 draw with Wolves.
Home team is played few matches with better defense in last period, but in any case this is changed in last round, when Belshina Reserves are played one of the most interesting duels so far in league, with even seven goals, 5-2. Rival, or in this case, Vitebsk Reserves is also very good for betting on goals and this team is coming in this match after five matches in last six duels, where they are played with three or more goals. In last round, this team is beat Shakhtar Soligorsk Reserves at home 3-0. I believe in plenty of goals here.

Their last home league defeat was in 2017 and they have now gone 50 games unbeaten with 24 of the last 25 being won. It's 36 league matches without defeat and not being beaten with their last loss on the third day of 2019. All rather frightening for any team that has to play them. They have become a side that doesn't have to play well to get victories and have goalscorers all over the pitch.
The former Spain playmaker looked up, saw what Rashford saw, and played a pass that rendered everyone in the ground - including the entire Norwich defence - as spectators. Manchester United are simply not good enough to keep a player of Mata's quality on the bench these days. When is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer going to realise that?Did you know? Mata provided two assists in a Premier League game for the first time since October 2012, also in a match against Norwich.

I hope that this duel from Belarusian Premier league will in any case bring at least two goals and maybe even three, what is not so unreal. Torpedo is one of the most positive surprises so far in league and this team is so far won in few matches. They are closer to win in this duel, but we should not forget that "small" Smolevichi is sometimes playing very good. For example, against BATE Borisov, they are played 3-3 just few minutes before end of match, and finally lost 5-3 that duel. Yes, over 2,25 is pretty real for me here.
Vejle are league leaders but right after the restart they hosted 2nd from bottom Naestved and could not win the game which ended in just a 1-1 draw in the end which did not really help either sides with Vejle running away with the title at this moment and Naestved with 23 points being 7 points away from the safety zone right now. On paper it should be indeed an away win but like that game at Vejle showed nothing is simple.

Danny Ings and/or Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line for England at Euro 2020 is becoming a less and less unlikely prospect by the day.

Messi responded very quickly to Abidal's interview because he felt the finger of blame was being pointed at him.

Had it not been for Jamie Hamilton's red card midway through the first half, many would have fancied Hamilton to have registered their first win at Tynecastle since 1972.
