Real Madrid? Juventus? The 5 best transfer destinations for Man United’s Jadon Sancho

Jadon Sancho's future at Manchester United seems to be over. His feud with manager Erik ten Hag has become a distraction, and it has gotten to the point where it is a bit ridiculous. Since joining United from Borussia Dortmund in a transfer worth 85 million euros, Sancho has been a disappointment. The flashes of brilliance have been few and far between, with inconsistency being the hallmark of his tenure in Manchester thus far. Despite all he accomplished in the Bundesliga as a legitimately world-class player for BVB, he has built no goodwill to fall back on in Manchester, so his feud with ten Hag is one-sided despite the pressure on the latter. Sancho has a lot to prove. He benefited from open spaces and Dortmund's playing style under Lucien Favre. There is a ton of quality in th...

Final 2022/23 Serie A Team of the Season

Although Verona and Spezia still have one last match to decide who stays and who goes, the 2022/23 Serie A season officially concluded on Sunday with Roma sealing a Europa League spot over Juventus - thanks to the superstar they signed from the Bianconeri for free, Paulo Dybala. La Joya undoubtedly has a place in the final 2022/23 Serie A Team of the Season, which is unsurprisingly dominated by Napoli stars. But there may be some picks that surprise you in this all-star XI. GK Ivan Provedel, Lazio: Alex Meret also had a fantastic season in goal for the Partenopei. At the same time, the likes of Wladimiro Falcone were excellent for sides that survived a relegation threat. Yet Ivan Provedel has to be recognized as the best goalkeeper in Serie A.

5 possible managers for Juventus to replace Max Allegri

Juventus manager Max Allegri has produced some of the most uninspiring, cowardly football Juventini have seen from the Italian giants over the years. Everyone knew Juve would be in for a bit of a transition after years of poor decisions on the transfer market, prioritizing "name" veterans over players who could help the team for the decade to come. However, it seems like Juventus have taken a step backward since returning to Allegri, who replaced Andrea Pirlo after the club's first season without a Scudetto. Allegri is on the hot seat, regardless of how expensive it would be to fire him. The latest embarrassment, a 4-1 loss to Empoli, has caused more uncertainty regarding the Italian manager's future, even though the board had seemingly backed him throughout the 2022/23 season. If Ju...

How did Juventus become so bad?

At the first international "break" and with six matches played in Serie A, Juventus currently sit 8th in the league they once dominated. Winners of nine straight Scudetti, the Bianconeri are now tied on points with crosstown rivals Torino, and it appears they may be headed for a new nadir in an increasingly competitive Serie A. Italy's top flight was once a guarantee for Juve. Now, it is the most exciting and unpredictable league in Europe's top five, with rivals Inter and Milan having won in the last two seasons. Where was Juventus? In fourth, barely hanging onto a Champions League place both times. And after club legend Paulo Dybala moved to Roma this summer, there's a sense that this could be the year the Old Lady tumbles out of the top four entirely if Juve isn't careful. So h...
