Diogo Dalot plays for Manchester United U23s, inches closer to senior debut
Craig Burley says Jose Mourinho is lingering on his historical success while others involved with Manchester United are looking forward. MANCHESTER, England -- Diogo Dalot moved a step closer to making his Manchester United debut with a run out in the under-23s' 1-0 win over Stoke at Old Trafford on Friday. The 19-year-old, signed for £19 million from Porto in the summer, played 78 minutes at right-back in front of Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff, who were watching from the stands in a crowd of 806. It was Dalot's first appearance in a United shirt after recovering from a knee injury suffered playing for Porto in March. The...

Napoli 3-2 Milan: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Partenopei Pull Off Breathtaking Comeback
back ​Milan threw away a two-goal lead to suffer a disappointing 3-2 defeat against ​Napoli in their first game of the new ​Serie A season. ​Napoli started with far more confidence than they did against Lazio last week, playing some intricate passing football and forcing Milan onto the back foot. Yet it was the Rossoneri who took the lead after a quarter of an hour when Giacomo Bonaventura netted a superb volley after latching onto Fabio Borini's knock-down. Though it remained 1-0 until half...

WATCH: Man City star Aguero scores training ground stunner
Sergio Aguero kept his finishing skills sharp by firing a stunning goal in training with Premier League champions Manchester City. Argentina striker Aguero brought up 200 City goals when he opened the scoring against Chelsea in the Community Shield earlier this month, going on to score both in a 2-0 win. He was in typically lethal form with a hat-trick in the 6-1 demolition of Huddersfield Town last weekend – the 30-year-old's ninth Premier League treble and 13th overall in City colours. It turns out there has been no let-up for team-mates since, as a video posted to City's official Twitter account showed Aguero dispatching an improbable curling finish with the outside of his right foot during a shooting drill. Stop it right now, @aguerosergiokun! #mancity pic.twitter.com/9uoadu5pKZ — Manchester City (@ManCity) August 22, 2018 Ederson could only look on and admire, so it only seems right that we all do the same. Aguero and City are back in action on Saturday when they travel to Wolves.

Barcelona's Luis Suarez problem is only going to get worse
The ESPN FC crew answer your tweets on Barcelona's biggest weakness, Luis Suarez's future and if Liverpool have any vulnerabilities this season. Craig Burley and Paul Mariner make their predictions for the La Liga season, and one of them is backing Diego Costa for a big season. Will the real Luis Suarez please stand up? There was such an explosion of sound and fury over the way Antoine Griezmann chose to announce that he was staying at Atletico Madrid, via a video production company owned by Gerard Pique, that many have failed to properly consider what was behind Barcelona's willingness to spend €100 million (plus another €60 million in wages) on him. The answer, increasingly evidently, is that Luis Suarez is in that horrible antechamber that leads from...

Goal Barcelona began the defence of their La Liga title in promising style on Saturday evening with a 3-0 home victory over Alaves - the last team to overcome the Catalonians on home soil in the Spanish top-flight.  The visitors started brightly, although were unable to find a tangible reward. And, as was destined simply due to the number of chances the hosts were creating, Barça eventually broke the deadlock via a smart Lionel Messi free-kick - which was rounded off in style as Philippe...

Gabriel Jesus: Man City favourites to win back-to-back titles
Gabriel Jesus believes Manchester City are favourites to retain their Premier League crown after defeating Chelsea in the Community Shield. City geared up for the Premier League campaign with a 2-0 win over Chelsea thanks to Sergio Aguero's brace at Wembley on Sunday. Pep Guardiola's record-breaking City won the title by 19 points ahead of neighbours Manchester United last season. And Brazil star Jesus – who signed a new five-year contract – acknowledged City's favouritism to go back-to-back this term. Well done guys, first game, first trophy of the season. Felicidades, Kun! @aguerosergiokun #201 pic.twitter.com/tsnVMDVFP5 — Gabriel Jesus (@gabrieljesus33) August 5, 2018 "[Manchester City] can be considered as favourites because we are the current champions," Jesus told reporters. "But we can't just achieve this on the field, we have to focus on the season, the other teams have strengthened, it will be difficult for all teams. "For us, it's logical that the teams that will come against us will play against the defending champions, they will want to win anyhow and they will be more motivated to beat us. "We have to do what we did last season, and remember the good things we did and the things that unfortunately didn't work out, learn from it and make this season better than the previous." City open their Premier League defence against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

How Gylfi Sigurdsson Can Return to His Best on Merseyside Under New Boss Marco Silva
​The tug of war between Premier League rivals ​Watford and ​Everton for the services of Marco Silva was one of the more unsavoury moments of the last domestic campaign and left a rather bitter taste in the mouths of both clubs. Having led the Hornets to the top half of the league standings by the halfway mark last term, Silva famously had his head turned by the advances of the Merseysiders and from that point on Watford's fortunes nosedived. Silva was dismissed by the Pozzi family last January...
