The season has been disappointing for Rangnick’s side despite signing the 5-time world best, Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus last summer.

Ronaldo joined his former club Manchester United on a two-year contract last summer for £12.9 million, plus €8 in ad-ons with the option to further extend his contract by a year or two. The Portuguese international clocked 37 in 2022, and will not be a wise decision to sign a 5-year contract. Ronaldo had won three EPL titles, one champions league title, 1 FA Cup, and two league cups within six years at Old Trafford (2003-2009), scoring 118 goals in 292 appearances before his exit to Real Madrid.

The Red Devils have already lost a place in the champions league as they can only have a maximum of 64 points this season, which will not meet up the top-4 spot. The point will be United’s lowest point in the league since its inception. They are currently sixth on the Premier League Table, 5 points behind Arsenal are sitting in the fourth position on the table with two outstanding games. Brentford are currently occupying the 12th position on the table after putting up an impressive campaign in the premier league this season.

Manchester United vs Brentford: United woes


Ralf Rangnick’s side has won one out of their last six matches and lost three out of 5 in the premier league. After recent consecutive defeats at the hands of Arsenal and Liverpool, the Red Devils came from a goal down to play a one-all draw against Chelsea at Old Trafford. It was a tough game where we saw a goalless first half. Marco Alonso put the Blues ahead 15 minutes into the second half, but Ronaldo was right on time to equalize just two minutes after Alonso’s goal.

The 20-time league champions are not guaranteed the Europa league spot either. They are 3 points above West Ham United occupying the 7th position with a game at hand. Also, Wolverhampton Wanderers sits in 8th position, 6 points behind Man united with two games at hand.

Erik Ten Hag Appointment


The Red devils appoint Ajax boss Erik ten Hag as their new head coach this summer. However, Rangnick will be a consultant for the English giants until the expiration of his consultancy contract with the club. The German was appointed by Austria to assume the position of manager of their national team.
Manchester United’s last two fixtures in the premier league will see them playing against Brighton and Crystal Palace away from Old Trafford. Victory in both fixtures will hand them a place in the Europa League next season.


Meanwhile, Brentford have an excellent performance in their first-ever premier league campaign. The Bees will enjoy another season in the league next year. They are 11 points above relegation and are still in good form, winning 5 in their last 7 matches. The Bees lost 3-1 at home in January against Manchester United and will be looking for revenge at Old Trafford.

Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment

 Rangers Youngster Sets Celtic Fans Alight with Bold Celebration in Epic Kilmarnock Moment!

In a Scottish Premiership clash that had fans on the edge of their seats, Rangers’ loanee Findlay Curtis turned heads with a cheeky celebration that has since gone viral online. The 19-year-old, on loan at Kilmarnock, was at the heart of the drama as his side surged into an early lead against fierce rivals Celtic at Rugby Park — and he didn’t hold back in celebrating it.

 

Curtis, deployed in a more advanced role for this fixture, made the most of his opportunity. After Tyreece John-Jules opened the scoring and Kilmarnock doubled their advantage, cameras caught the young winger raising his arms and gesturing in celebration directly in front of the Celtic supporters in the away end — a moment that instantly lit up social media.

 

Although his exuberant celebration was quickly cut short when veteran keeper Kasper Schmeichel ushered him away, the damage was done — pundits and fans alike have been talking about it ever since. That kind of on-field bravado in front of the rival support doesn’t happen every day, and it’s one that will stick in the minds of supporters on both sides.

Whether you see it as passionate football emotion or a bit of mind games, Curtis’ reaction added another unforgettable moment to a season already packed with drama and rivalry — showing once again why the Scottish Premiership never fails to entertain.

End of the Road at Parkhead? Andy Walker Drops Brutal Verdict on Celtic’s Japanese Duo

Published

on

“Are Celtic’s Japanese Stars Past Their Best? Andy Walker Predicts End of the Road for Maeda & Hatate”

Recent pundit commentary has stirred fresh debate among fans of Celtic Football Club, with veteran analyst Andy Walker making bold claims about two of the team’s key Japanese players — Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. Walker’s verdict? This could be the final chapter at Parkhead for both players if they don’t turn their seasons around.

Struggles on the Pitch

Walker’s view stems from both men’s current dip in form. Hatate, normally a creative midfield presence, was recently scrutinised after a costly mistake led to a penalty for Livingston — and Walker suggested it might be time for him to lose his place temporarily in the starting XI to find confidence again.

Meanwhile, Maeda — who once electrified Scottish football with blistering pace and a PFA Player of the Year-winning season — has yet to recapture that spark this campaign. The forward is playing well below the high standards he set previously, and Walker believes both he and Hatate may have run their course at Celtic unless they rediscover their best form before the season ends.

Why This Matters

Walker’s assessment resonates beyond just match performance:

  • Maeda’s Blocked Transfer: Earlier in the season, Maeda openly admitted he wanted a move away — only for Celtic to block it — and pundits speculated this block may have affected his focus and sharpness.
  • Legacy and Timing: If both players fail to make a strong impact before the campaign’s conclusion, Walker argues their legacies at Celtic could be overshadowed by disappointment rather than remembered for their earlier success.

 The Bigger Picture

Celtic’s squad is at a crossroads. With new tactics, fresh faces and evolving expectations under manager Brendan Rodgers, long-serving players must justify their place or risk being phased out. Walker’s blunt but insightful commentary has sparked fresh debate among supporters over who should lead the club forward — and who’s time might be running out.

Adrie van der Poel deelt verontrustend bericht over Mathieu

Published

on

Wout van Aert kende een dramatische afloop aan de cross in Mol, maar ook Mathieu van der Poel kwam niet ongeschonden uit deze wedstrijd. De Nederlander had het bijzonder koud, en kwam zelf eerder ook ten val. Vader Adrie zag daar een probleem.

 

Valpartij had invloed

Nochtans maakte Van der Poel duidelijk dat hij geen schade heeft overgehouden aan zijn tuimeling: “Eigenlijk viel ik zelfs nog zacht”, aldus de Nederlander. “Ik kreeg gewoon mijn voet niet uit mijn klikpedaal in het zand, waardoor ik stomweg omviel. Maar ik heb er gelukkig geen last van.”

 

Zo zag vader Adrie het echter niet tijdens de wedstrijd. In een interview met Sporza stelde hij immers dat Van der Poel last ondervond van zijn eerdere valpartij, eerder nog dan van de koude. Al voegde Adrie er ook wel aan toe dat zijn zoon niet bepaald staat te springen voor een koers in de sneeuw.

 

Van der Poel viseert enkel de koude

Reken daarbij nog de haast ondragelijke koude, en we kregen een verkleumde Van der Poel te zien na de finish. In zijn interviews achteraf stond hij nog steeds te bibberen, en maakte de wereldkampioen duidelijk dat hij behoorlijk hard had afgezien.

 

“Het was geen aangename cross. Ik heb het nu al een beetje warmer, maar ik heb zeker veel koud geleden vandaag”, luidde het bij MVDP. “Je weet ook dat wanneer je nadien weer opwarmt, het vijf minuten echt veel pijn gaat doen. Met dat gevoel was ik de laatste rondes al bezig.”

 

Voor Van der Poel was de conclusie dan ook duidelijk: “Dit was de moeilijkste wedstrijd van het jaar. Na een tijd hadden mijn handen en voeten zo veel koud dat het niet meer vanzelf ging.” Nu maar hopen dat vader Adrie toch geen gelijk krijgt over een mogelijke blessure, die door onderkoeling mogelijk onder de radar zou zijn gebleven.
