Andrea Pirlo insists Paulo Dybala ‘will be at Juventus’ next season

Online Betting Sites - Juventus manager Andrea Pirlo has firmly dismissed the idea of parting ways with forward Paulo Dybala at the end of the season. The Argentine will enter the final 12 months of his contract at the club this summer, and with talks over an extension dragging on for months, there have been countless reports suggesting that Dybala could be on his way out of the club. Speculation has been rife for months, but speaking in a press conference ahead of his side's meeting with Genoa on Sunday, Pirlo did his best to shoot down the stories as quickly as possible. "I've always said Dybala is an important player and unfortunately I haven't had him at my disposal very much this season," Pirlo said (via the Daily Mail). "Let's look at the present, because that is more impo...

Solskjaer keeping ‘fingers crossed’ that Cavani stays at Man Utd

Sports News

Sports Betting Odds - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer still hopes to convince Edinson Cavani to stay at Manchester United after watching the striker's matchwinning display against Tottenham. The Red Devils came from a goal down to win 3-1 in north London on Sunday and close the gap to Premier League leaders Manchester City to 11 points, with a game in hand. Cavani saw a first-half goal disallowed following a controversial VAR review, with Scott McTominay penalised for catching Son Heung-min in the face with a flailing hand in the build-up. Son promptly put Spurs ahead five minutes later, but United stretched their unbeaten Premier League away run to 23 games thanks to a superb second-half showing, Cavani heading in Mason Greenwood's cross after earlier giving Fred the chance to equalise, with...

Bruno Fernandes insists Man Utd are made to win trophies

Sports News

Online Betting Sites - Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes has admitted that the club has been dropping too many points at Old Trafford this season, although he insists United have improved and defied expectations to be second in the Premier League, and insists the club is ‘made for trophies. “It’s tough in England, because the games are so tight. Every team genuinely has a chance to win the match. It’s 50/50 before every game, and we see it with the results. But we’re doing better,” Fernandes told FourFourTwo. “We can’t drop as many points as we do at home, but we’ve been in second, and at the start of the season there weren’t many people who were saying United would be second. “After a few games and a bad start, nobody was saying United could reach the top of the table, bu...

But the top-of-the-table Ligue 1 clash turned sour for the superstar as he was controversially dismissed in the closing stages of a 1-0 defeat. Neymar, who tried to retrieve the ball from Lille defender Tiago Djalo before both players were sent off, has earned four red cards since his Ligue 1 debut in August 2017, a tally only topped in this time by Nantes midfielder Andrei Girotto. ...

The forward suffered a knee injury in France's World Cup qualifying win over Kazakhstan last weekend.
