Man United secure key superstar as Real Madrid drop transfer interest

By
It was a long and oftentimes painful transfer saga this past summer as Man United and Real Madrid worked to finalize a transfer of star goalkeeper David de Gea. Ultimately, the deal fell apart quite literally at the last minute as the paperwork was not properly filed before the end of the summer transfer window. Despite rumoured interest in David de Gea persisting for most of the season, Real Madrid appear to be ready to wash their hands of him and stick with their current goalkeeper.
According to the Metro, Real Madrid have grown more than satisfied with their current starting goalkeeper Keylor Navas and are ready to move forward by giving him a new contract in the near future.
De Gea is tied for fourth in the Premier League with 10 clean sheets this season and has an off-putting £30 million release clause in his contract. Navas has allowed just 24 goals in 28 matches and ranks third on the Zamora Trophy chart.
The Red Devils are fortunate that de Gea is sticking around though. They have struggled mightily to defend with backup Sergio Romero guarding the net.

"He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...

Biggest ever UEFA international qualifying scorelines in history

By
In light of UEFA footballing minnows Andorra, Gibraltar, Malta and San Marino all taking on much higher-ranked opponents Portugal, Belgium, England and Northern Ireland respectively this international break, that got Coral writers thinking. Goals galore are expected in each of those fixtures, so we find out some of the biggest scorelines in the history of World Cup and Euro qualifying from European nations. England 8-0 Turkey (1987) We start off with England and, although their 8-0 win is not the biggest scoreline on the list, it was against one of the most high profile – Turkey.

Spain 8-0 Liechtenstein (2016) Most recently, Spain hammered tiny territory Liechtenstein 8-0 too this current World Cup 2018 qualifying campaign, thanks to braces from Diego Costa, David S...
