Scott McTominay hopes a fluke could spark a flood as he attempts to transform himself into a goalscoring Manchester United midfielder.

United beat Melbourne Victory 4-1 after recovering from going behind early, with McTominay s deflected equaliser followed by efforts from Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and an own goal.

McTominay s 20-yard shot looped up wickedly off a defender and soared over goalkeeper Paul Izzo, and it was swiftly followed by a close-range strike from Martial as United snatched a half-time lead.

Scotland international McTominay managed only one Premier League goal last season, having hit four in each of the previous two campaigns.

Bruno Fernandes is the only United midfielder to have topped five league goals in any of those last thre…

Romelu Lukaku has returned to Inter on loan after a disappointing first season back at Chelsea.

The Belgium striker only scored eight goals in 26 Premier League appearances after his club-record £97.5million move back to Stamford Bridge last August.

Lukaku s second spell at Chelsea took another turn for the worse when he said stated in an interview with Sky Italia late last year that he was not happy with his role at the London club.

The  29-year-old declared: I know I will return to Inter, I really hope so. I am in love with Italy.

He has now got his wish, sealing a switch back to San Siro for the 2022-23 season less than a year after leaving for a huge fee.

We re back baby. I m very happy, thanks for the compliments. Remember three years …

John Barnes has suggested that Arsenal do not need to sign Wilfried Zaha from Premier League rivals Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.

The former Liverpool star believes that the Gunners already have enough creative and attacking players in their squad.

Barnes has also suggested why the former Manchester United winger is unlikely to get the chance to play for a top-six club in the Premier League anytime soon.

reported in August that Arsenal are interested in the 27-year-old Ivory Coast international, with manager Mikel Arteta a secret admirer of the winger, who is rated at 4/1 by   to make the switch to the North London outfit this summer.

Barnes said about Zaha: “The problem with Arsenal is not their lack of creativity as they have the li…

Sevilla boss Julen Lopetegui was full of praise for Antonio Conte and his ability to seamlessly implement his style upon teams, following his side s 1-1 draw against Tottenham on Saturday.

Lopetegui won the only competitive match between the two coaches Sevilla s 3-2 triumph over Inter in the 2020 Europa League final but they had to share the result this time, with Ivan Rakitic equalising after Harry Kane s opener in Suwon.

Sevilla had the majority of possession over the opening 45 minutes but their best chance came in transition, with Rafa Mir botching a one-on-one opportunity with Hugo Lloris.

To reinforce their lack of penetration with the ball, Kane scored after Rodrigo Bentancur won the ball high up the pitch in 50th minute, before substitute Rakitic rifle…

It is a big joy for the club and for the fans because Jan is an extraordinary goalkeeper.

It is something which is very good news for the club, that s for sure.

Barcelona will be confirmed as LaLiga champions should they beat Deportivo Alaves on Tuesday and Atleti then lose to Valencia the following day.

Copa del Rey finalists and Europa League semi-finalists Valencia have found form in recent months, losing just one of their previous 22 games in all competitions, as they chase a top-four finish.

They won only one of their opening 13 matches but Simeone always expected Valencia to turn their season around.

I think this last period of the season is what they planned at the beginning, according to the squad they have, he added.

I am …

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has revealed his pride at being a Lazio player as he continues to be linked with a transfer window move.

The 24-year-old Serbian is one of a number of midfielders reported to be interesting Manchester United.

He could be a perfect fit if United need a replacement for French World Cup winner Paul Pogba, who has made no secret of his desire to leave Old Trafford.

Lazio have said they will listen to any offers for Milinkovic-Savic, but it will inevitably take a major sum to prise the international away from Rome.

Milinkovic-Savic, who joined Lazio from Genk in 2015, has stayed out of the talk about a possible departure.

Writing on Instagram on Tuesday, Milinkovic-Savic made it clear he has enjoyed his time at Lazio with a pos…

Manchester United have officially taken up the option to extend the contract of Andreas Pereira for another year. The Brazilian spent last season out on loan with Spanish club Valencia, but has been able to make more of an impact within United’s first team this season. A series of other Red Devils players have also signed contract extensions as of late, showcasing the club’s urgency to try and lock down stars that may not have received much playing time under Jose Mourinho.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a clear direction for this United squad, and this latest move seems to prove that he’s already planning for the future.

The midfielder made his debut for the Brazilian national team last year, after making the transition over from Belgium’s U17s squad back in 2013.
