David de Gea insists he feels better than ever at the start of a crucial season in his Manchester United career. The Spanish international was investigated last season after some high-profile mistakes and is now facing pressure for his place after Dean Henderson - who played on loan at Sheffield United - was kept at Old Trafford and signed a new long-term deal. Henderson impressed with his United debut in their EFL Cup victory in Luton Town this week, but De Gea remains number one in Saturday's Premier League match with…

Ole Gunnar Solskjær will give Eric Bailly the chance to show that he can provide the solution to Manchester United's defensive problems.

Lindelof, especially bad against Palace, could lose his…

Gareth Bale is convinced he can handle any pressure at Tottenham after living with a goal on his back at Real Madrid. The Wales star is back in north London and itching to get started at Tottenham, with a minor knee injury delaying his second debut for the club. Bale spent six years at Tottenham before traveling to Madrid in 2013, where he won four Champions League titles and LaLiga twice with Los Blancos, before his time in Spain went sour. When his performances dipped, and when Zinedine Zidane stopped counting on him as…

Ahead of two games against Liverpool next week, the Gunners are linked with the likes of Atletico Madrid's Thomas Partey, Chelsea midfielder Jorginho and rising Lyon star Houssem Aouar.

Sancho's valuation has proved to be a stumbling block for United, who have made England international their number one transfer target. However, United do not give up hope as they are reportedly making one last attempt to sign the 20-year-old.

Liam Delap remains part of Pep Guardiola's first team plans after making a goal-scoring senior debut in Manchester City's 2-1 win over Bournemouth in the EFL Cup. Delap, who is the son of former Stoke City favorite Rory, was an unused replacement for City's opening 3-1 Premier League win over Wolves. With Sergio Aguero sidelined due to a knee injury and Gabriel Jesus resting as the only remaining specialty player in Guardiola's squad, the 17-year-old was handed a start at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday. He duly opened the…

Gareth Bale gave Real Madrid a lot and remains a "world-class talent", according to his former coach Juande Ramos. The Wales international completed a return to Tottenham last week on a season-long loan, seven years after swapping the two clubs for a world record fee at the time. He won 13 trophies during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu, including four Champions League titles, but he has struggled for appearances the last couple of seasons. Madrid paid little tribute to Bale after his departure, and Ramos has suggested…
