Former Chelsea star William Gallas has singled out Liverpool as having the strongest defence in the Premier League this season.

Gallas credits Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk for mentoring Ibrahima Konaté.

Speaking to Prime Casino, the former defender praised van Dijk’s leadership, calling him the backbone of Liverpool’s defensive success.

“Van Dijk has elevated Konaté to a whole new level, and Liverpool is reaping the rewards with a rock-solid defence,” Gallas said.

“Even as captain, van Dijk remains the defensive boss, directing the backline with authority. Konaté, in turn, has grown tremendously by observing and learning from him.”

Gallas believes Konaté is being groomed to take over once van Dijk eventually departs.

“When van Dijk moves on, it will be Konaté’s turn to lead and mentor the next player in line,” Gallas added. “That is the mark of a great defence—building a legacy of leadership and strength.”

Manchester United has unveiled ambitious plans for a new £2 billion stadium, aiming to set a new benchmark in football infrastructure. The proposed 100,000-seat venue is designed by renowned architect Lord Norman Foster, known for iconic projects like London’s Wembley Stadium.

The stadium’s design features a vast umbrella-like structure that harvests energy and rainwater, symbolizing Manchester’s industrial heritage.

The exterior will be adorned with tensile fabric and triple masts inspired by the club’s logo, reflecting the city’s weather and urban spirit. The development includes a public plaza twice the size of Trafalgar Square, aiming to create a vibrant community space.

Planned adjacent to the current Old Trafford site, the new stadium aims to ensure continuity for fans and minimize disruption during construction.

However, the project faces logistical challenges, including the potential relocation of a rail terminal. Securing necessary approvals and integrating the stadium into the existing urban fabric will require careful planning.

Funding the £2 billion project presents significant challenges. Manchester United’s current debt levels raise questions about financing the stadium without compromising financial stability. Government support may be crucial to realize this vision, but the financial implications are complex and require thorough assessment.
