Toby Collyer Hails Casemiro as One of the Greatest Midfielders After Pre-Season Clash

In a recent interview with MUTV, Manchester United’s emerging talent, Toby Collyer, praised his teammate Casemiro as one of the greatest midfielders ever.
Reflecting on their pre-season match against Arsenal, Collyer expressed immense admiration for the Brazilian star, highlighting how valuable Casemiro’s presence has been for his development.
Collyer noted that playing alongside Casemiro has been an extraordinary learning experience.
He mentioned, “It’s incredible to be in the same team as someone who is considered one of the best ever in the midfield role.
For someone like me, it’s a tremendous opportunity to gain insights from him. Watching him in training, having him beside me, and receiving his guidance and support—it’s all been immensely beneficial.
His leadership qualities are evident, and he plays a significant role in helping and motivating the team.”
During the pre-season clash, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Manchester United, thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.
Rasmus Hojlund initially put Manchester United ahead, but he was forced to leave the game due to an injury.

Xabi Alonso Says Everyone Must Defend Including Vinicius and Mbappé

Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has stressed that every player, including the attackers, must be involved when the team is defending. Speaking ahead of their final Club World Cup group match against Salzburg, Alonso made it clear that defending starts from the front.
“We all have to defend, all eleven players need to press — Vinicius Jr, Jude, Fede Valverde, Mbappé, everyone,” Alonso said. Madrid currently sits on four points after two games and needs just one more point to book a place in the Round of 16. Alonso also addressed questions about Rodrygo, who didn’t feature in their last match against Pachuca.
“Rodrygo is in good shape. He stayed on the bench for tactical reasons. He’s still very important for us, and we’ll definitely need him at the Club World Cup. He’s a special player and will have a big role to play,” Alonso added.

Messi Remains the Highest-Paid Player in MLS for the Second Year in a Row

Inter Miami star Lionel Messi has once again been named the highest-paid player in Major League Soccer for the second year running. This was revealed in new figures released by the MLS Players Association, which shows Messi earns a guaranteed $20.45 million. That amount only covers part of his income, as he also cashes in from endorsement deals with brands like Adidas and his revenue-sharing deal with Apple, the league’s broadcast partner.
Reports from Sportico suggest Messi could earn as much as $150 million throughout his two-and-a-half-year contract with Inter Miami, which began in the summer of 2023. Toronto FC striker Lorenzo Insigne sits second on the list with guaranteed earnings of $15.44 million. Third place goes to Messi’s Inter Miami teammate Sergio Busquets, who earns $8.5 million, followed by Atlanta United’s Miguel Almirón at $7.87 million, and San Diego FC’s Hirving “Chucky” Lozano with $7.63 million.

Rashford Wants to Join Barcelona as Flick Plans to Use Him as Central Striker

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford could be heading to Barcelona, with reports suggesting he is ready to play a central attacking role under new manager Hansi Flick. Sports journalist Ben Jacobs revealed that Barcelona are considering a loan move for Rashford, although their main transfer target remains Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao.
Rashford is reportedly keen on a switch to the Spanish giants this summer and is open to adapting to Flick’s plans by operating through the middle in attack. The England international appears to have no future at Old Trafford under new manager Ruben Amorim.
United, however, have placed a £40 million price tag on Rashford, which could complicate the deal. It remains uncertain whether the club will allow him to leave on loan or insist on a permanent transfer.
