“I was winning everything in Paris. I was there for two years and won all the titles in France. I had a great life, great credibility with the club … I had everything. But then I took a risk to come back to the one country that was not that happy with me. Where they always criticised me a lot even after winning the Champions League, the Europa League or where I’d played all the games. That’s why it was a risk. And I love the risk. If you don’t take risks in your life – in your professional life but also in everyday life – you never feel anything new, so I taste something new.

Not a bad start.” Speaking on ESPN FC, former USA forward and current pundit Taylor Twellman praised the performances put in by Stars and Stripes youngster Josh Sargent at the FIFA U-20 World Cup

I’ve got some decisions to make now over the next few weeks, so I will talk with my family and then I’ll decide. I think I have to make a decision in terms of a football decision, and that’s what I’ll do, I’ll do that the next few weeks with my family while I’m away, and as soon as I know what’s going on, I’m sure you will.” After lifting the UEFA Europa League title as Manchester United captain this week, Wayne Rooney revealed that he has received several offers from other clubs after becoming a peripheral part of manager Jose Mourinho’s plans at Old Trafford this season

We were incredibly well prepared. It’s not easy for the players to have 40-minute matches. Everything passes by so quickly. We are probably the ones who dealt best with the fatigue, and we managed to keep enough in reserve until the end. My players understood how it works right from the very beginning, and as a coach, all you can do is acknowledge how well they did. Congratulations to them."
