All the Mourinho reaction, Juan Mata seeks reassurances

By
A turbulent week for Manchester United rounded off with some great news for supporters, as the Red Devils now look forward to next season with confidence.
The win in the FA Cup final last week was marred by the sacking of Louis van Gaal 48 hours later and plenty has happened since then.
With rumours rife and speculation flying everywhere, the club finally made the announcement everyone had wanted on Friday.
With that in mind, here is a round-up of everything surrounding the club as we wrap up the business week.
Manchester United confirmed the arrival of Jose Mourinho as their new manager on Friday. The 53-year-old signed a three-year deal with the option of a further year and admitted after he could not turn down such a massive club like the Red Devils. Manchester United created 312 chances in the league this season.
Furthermore, Manchester United‘s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has labelled Jose Mourinho the “best manager” in the game, after the arrival of the 53-year-old at the club today. Woodward played a big part in luring the former Chelsea manager to Old Trafford and had plenty of words to hail the Portuguese tactician. Manchester United averaged 55% possession in the league this season. (Official website)
However, Manchester United fear the appointment of Mourinho will not be enough to convince David De Gea to stay at the club this summer. The 25-year-old came agonisingly close to joining Real Madrid last summer, but has still been tipped to join Los Blancos this summer. Whilst Mourinho has replaced Louis van Gaal at the helm, talks over convincing De Gea to stay in England are not looking positive at the moment. De Gea kept 15 clean sheets in the league this season.

Juan Mata’s advisers are set to seek assurances from Jose Mourinho to make sure he still has a role to play at Manchester United. The 28-year-old was sold by the new United boss whilst they were at Chelsea together and Mata is unsure whether he will be in Mourinho’s plans once he takes over the Red Devils in July. Mata created more chances (53) than any other Man Utd player in the league this season. (Daily Mail)

Atletico Madrid v Borussia Dortmund: In-form Germans will score again

By
Atletico Madrid  1.84  v Borussia Dortmund  5.10 ; The Draw  3.75 Tuesday 6 November, 20:00 Live on BT Sport Extra Borussia mark themselves out as contenders with Atletico thumping The reverse fixture produced one of the shock results in the last round of  Champions League  games, as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Atletico Madrid 4-0 at home. Dortmund's margin of victory against such an experienced European outfit, famed for their defensive solidity, was a major show of intent and marks them out as real contenders to win the competition. At the weekend they continued their fine form with a 1-0 win at  Wolfsburg , which stretched their unbeaten record this season (P17 W14 D3 L0). Lucien Favre's  side are now four points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, which is the same number that currently separates Atletico Madrid from the La Liga leaders Barcelona. A 1-1 draw at Leganes over the weekend, stretched Atletico's unbeaten run in their d...

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund: Eagles to build a wall in Berlin

By
Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund Saturday 27 May, 19:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Eintracht Frankfurt This time last season, Eintracht Frankfurt were  fighting for survival  in a Bundesliga playoff against second-tier side Nurnberg. Fast forward a year, and they are preparing for their first major cup final since 2006, having finished well clear of relegation trouble this term. Having steered the Eagles through that playoff against Nurnberg, coach  Niko Kovac  set about galvanising not just the squad, but the entire club. Working with sporting director Bruno Hubner and former Germany striker Fredi Bobic,  Kovac has injected new life into an organisation that was drifting. Youngsters like defender  Jesus Vallejo  and forward Ante Rebic have been brought in on loan to good effect, and astute pickups like holding midfielder Omar Mascarell and forward Branimir Hrgota have become effective cogs in the machine. Although Frankfurt have twice...

Real Madrid v Plzen: Back hosts' scoring struggles to continue

By
Real Madrid  1.09  v Plzen  40.00 ; The Draw  15.00 Tuesday 23 October, 20:00 Live on BT Sport ESPN Lopetegui on brink as Madrid malaise continues Ordinarily this match would almost be guaranteed to be a routine home win that had the potential to be embarrassing for the visitors, but these are not ordinary times at  Real Madrid . The Spanish giants are now without a win in their last five games (D1 L4), after losing 2-1 at home to Levante at the weekend.  Marcelo's  72nd minute goal broke a painful spell of 481 accumulated minutes without a goal. Unsurprisingly,  Julen Lopetegui  is under huge pressure and it would be no surprise if he were sacked before this match takes place on Tuesday. If he survives the game and it's aftermath, then Sunday's El Clasico could finish him off. Despite Real's abject form, it would still be a massive shock if they failed to beat Viktoria Plzen, who were thrashed 5-0 by Roma in their most recent...
