Garnacho Wants to Leave Man United and Join Chelsea
Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has opened up about Alejandro Garnacho’s decision to leave the club, despite his obvious talent. Amorim admitted that things simply didn’t click between him and the young Argentine star during their time together at Old Trafford.
“He’s a really talented boy… but sometimes things just don’t work out,” Amorim said in an interview with the BBC. “It’s hard to say exactly why. It’s clear he wants something different—new leadership, a fresh start.”
Garnacho has made it known he wants to stay in the Premier League, and Chelsea are one of the clubs keeping close tabs on him. Though there are no official talks yet, the Blues have added Garnacho to their shortlist, alongside Leipzig’s Xavi Simons. Both players are reportedly interested in making the move to Stamford Bridge.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
