5 surprising superstar signings for Manchester United in summer 2024 transfer window

INEOS is taking over at Manchester United, and the fans are hoping the new ownership group is serious about injecting actual world-class talent into the floundering project at Old Trafford. Here are five surprising names Manchester United could bring into the fold to greatly increase their chances of returning to Champions League football in 2025. Bayern Munich RW Leroy Sane Quietly, Leroy Sane has just one year left on his contract and will be a free agent in 2025, meaning Bayern Munich will have to extend him this summer or sell him to avoid losing one of their best players for free. Manchester United need to be all over Sane as a potential market opportunity, because even though the German international is expected to extend with Bayern Munich, that hasn't happened yet, even tho...

Thomas Tuchel offers Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, and Dayot Upamecano injury updates before Real Madrid match

Bayern Munich will play host to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals on Tuesday, April 30, as it will be an elite European rivalry renewed. Before Bayern Munich face the LaLiga leaders, though, they will have another tough matchup in the Bundesliga this weekend against Eintracht Frankfurt. Ahead of the game on Saturday, Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel offered an injury update about three star players, with Bayern fans especially concerned about the status of star right winger Leroy Sane before Tuesday's Real Madrid matchup. Per Tuchel, Sane is going to be a game-time call. The club is taking things day-to-day with the German international. He has began training individually, but, at this juncture, Tuchel cannot make a definitive call on whether or no...

Antonio Rudiger picks out 2 Bayern Munich stars he’s watching the closest next to Harry Kane

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will meet again in the Champions League semifinals, just like old times, except there will be no Cristiano Ronaldo or Arjen Robben. Some faces, like Luka Modric and Manuel Neuer, will be familiar, but there are plenty of new superstars in this old European footballing rivalry like Vinicius Junior and Harry Kane. One of those new faces on Real Madrid, Antonio Rudiger, is a veteran of the competition in his own right, having won the tournament in 2020/21 for Chelsea, knocking out the Royal Whites along the way. Rudiger knows plenty about Bayern Munich, too. Not only is he a German international who played in the Bundesliga as a youngster for Stuttgart, but he also played for Thomas Tuchel when Chelsea won the Champions League. Ahead of next week's fi...

When Bayern Munich plan on getting Leroy Sane back from injury

Although much of the news surrounding Bayern Munich is negative right now, Die Roten are still one of the powers of European football and are in the Champions League semifinals against a familiar foe in Real Madrid. Bayern are coming off a 5-1 blowout victory over Union Berlin in the Bundesliga, so even though the league title has already been lost to an undefeated Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern are still pushing hard to finish strong under departing manager Thomas Tuchel. Leroy Sane has been one of the main protagonists of the Bayern Munich machine this season, standing alongside Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane as one of the best attacking players in European football this season. The German international has been out for about a week with a hip injury, as he was held out of the weekend B...

Ballon d’Or Rankings: Bayern Munich get 3, Jude Bellingham vs. Kane, where’s Bukayo Saka?

With most of Europe's top five leagues at their halfway point of the 2023/24 season, it's time to take a fresh look at the top 10 Ballon d'Or candidates for next year, 2024. 10. Bayern Munich AM Jamal Musiala 9. Manchester City DM Rodri 8. Bayer Leverkusen LB Álex Grimaldo Álex Grimaldo isn't the most well-known name in the Bundesliga or even on his own team, but he should absolutely be considered a Ballon d'Or candidate on the basis of his play this season. A new member of the squad, Grimaldo is one of many brilliant signings made by Die Werkself, and he is setting a different standard as a left back who can dictate play and even score great goals. Florian Wirtz, Jonas Hofmann, and Victor Boniface have all been exceptional, but what Grimaldo is doing as a left back with ...

Bundesliga TOTS: Leverkusen dominate, Bayern Munich in second, nobody on Dortmund

With 16 matches played and the Christmas break upon us, it is time to take a look at the best individual performances of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season thus far by naming a Team of the Season. It should come as no surprise that Bayern Munich are well-represented, but with an undefeated Bayer Leverkusen rocking the BuLi in first, it is actually Die Werkself who have the most players in the TOTS. It's not even close. Usual runner-ups Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, are nowhere to be found, highlighting the club's dysfunction under a clearly overmatched Edin Terzić. GK Lukas Hradecky, Bayer Leverkusen LB Álex Grimaldo, Bayer Leverkusen CB Kim Min-Jae, Bayern Munich CB Odilon Koussounou, Bayer Leverkusen RB Jeremie Frimpong, Bayer Leverkusen The defense is almost entirely ...

Ranking the 10 best RWs in world football for 2023

Who are the best right wingers in world football today in 2023 as we head into the calendar year 2024? Here is an updated list of the top 10 players at the position. Since inverted wingers are all the rage and left-footed players are scarcer than right-footed ones, it is especially difficult to find a world-class right winger capable of scoring goals and creating chances. So the players on this list are highly coveted. The ranking is based on a combination of overall pedigree and current performance, with the latter being the deciding factor. Players who are no longer primarily right wingers were discarded, such as Antoine Griezmann, while players who are better in other positions and not as consistent on the right wing, such as Rodrygo Goes, were not ranked as highly when specifical...
