Mason Greenwood unveiled to cheers from Getafe fans

Mason Greenwood says he is “happy to be here” at Getafe as he was unveiled in front of the home crowd for the first time following his loan move from Manchester United.

The 21-year-old made the switch to Spain on deadline day after it was announced last month that he would continue his career away from Old Trafford.

Greenwood was suspended by United back in January 2022 over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online and faced charges including attempted rape and assault, but the Crown Prosecution Service announced in February this year that the case had been discontinued.

Greenwood had the opportunity to train in front of the Getafe fans in an open training session on Tuesday and was later unveiled in front of the home s…

Cassilas pens Porto extension

Sky Sports understands that Iker Cassilas has signalled his intention to end his career with Porto after penning a new one-year deal with the club.

The former Spain international has put pen-to-paper on fresh terms which will see him remain with the Portuguese giants until the end of next season, by which time he will be almost thirty-nine-years old.

Cassilas moved to Porto following a twenty-five-year association with Real Madrid, during which time he made seven hundred and twenty-five appearances in all competitions and won a whole host of major honours including five La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues.

Internationally, he is his country’s most capped player with one hundred and sixty-seven appearances, while with them he won two European Champi…

Southampton 0 Manchester City 1: Last-gasp Jesus strikes for ton-up champions

Manchester City left it late to seal a 100-point Premier League season but Gabriel Jesus was the champions final day hero as he snatched a 1-0 win deep into stoppage time at Southampton.

City have set competition records for wins, goals scored and points acquired during their march to glory in 2017-18, although little of their usual panache was in evidence during a listless opening half at St Mary s.

The unlikely 10-goal swing required to put Saints in danger of relegation never looked to be on the cards and Mark Hughes well-manned defence coped assuredly with mounting City pressure after the break.

That was until Kevin De Bruyne s exquisite lofted pass – a 16th league assist of the campaign for the Belgium playmaker sent substitute Jesus clear to loft a cool f…

Managerless Gillingham overcome 10-man MK Dons to move third

Macauley Bonne and Scott Malone scored the goals as managerless Gillingham beat MK Dons 2-1 to claim their first win in four games.

First-half substitute Bonne opened the scoring eight minutes after coming on before Malone claimed his first goal since April 2022 to lift the Gills back into the top three just two days after sacking Neil Harris.

Under the guidance of caretaker manager Keith Millen, the slow-starting hosts almost fell behind after seven minutes when Joe Tomlinson flashed an effort across the face of goal. Mo Eisa also squandered a promising move by shooting straight at goalkeeper Jake Turner.

Bonne capitalised on a mistake by Dons defender Anthony Stewart to go through on goal and coolly side-foot past keeper Craig MacGillivray after 26 minutes.

Simeone reaffirms Atletico commitment ahead of rebuild

Diego Simeone eased any fan fears he might leave Atletico Madrid as part of their expected exodus.

Juanfran, Diego Godin and Filipe Luis are expected to leave on free transfers, Lucas Hernandez will join Bayern Munich, while Vitolo, Santiago Arias, Thomas Partey, Rodri and Saul Niguez have been strongly linked with moves.

To make matters worse, star forward Antoine Griezmann also announced his intention to leave the club despite only signing a new contract last year.

Brighton agree Trossard deal

Brighton and Hove Albion have agreed a deal to sign Leadro Trossard from Genk, according to .

The fee is apparently set at £18 million, breaking the club s transfer record dating back to last year when the Seagulls signed midfielder Alireza Jahanbakhsh for £17 million.

He has played for Belgium at all youth levels, but is yet to make his senior international debut even though he is being called up by Roberto Martinez regularly.

Torssard joined the Genk academy at the age of 15 from the Bocholt academy in 2010. He has had loan spells with Lommel United (twice), K.V.C. Westerlo a…

Cristiano Ronaldo reaches 300 LaLiga goals in record-breaking time

Cristiano Ronaldo has reached 300 goals in LaLiga, the Real Madrid forward hitting the landmark in fewer games than his great rival, Barcelona s Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo continued his sensational run of goalscoring in 2018 by achieving the milestone against Getafe on Saturday.

Madrid were leading 1-0 thanks to Gareth Bale s opener when, in first-half stoppage time, Ronaldo received a pass from Karim Benzema, jinked inside onto his left foot and rifled home into the bottom-left corner.

Ronaldo took 286 appearances to bring up 300 in LaLiga, while Messi needed 334 outings to arrive at the same landmark.

The 33-year-old has hit 33 hat-tricks in the league since joining from Manchester United in 2009.

Ronaldo s most prolific campaign was in the 2…

Guardiola hails clinical Mahrez, says Man City top performers will not be rotated

Pep Guardiola will demand more, more, more from his players after they thumped Burnley 5-0 on the back of Riyad Mahrez s hat-trick.

Benjamin Mendy and Ferran Torres were also on target as Guardiola s side found their scoring form, having struggled in front of goal in the early months of the season.

In his role as chief destroyer, Mahrez took his goals haul to seven in his last four Premier League appearances against Burnley.

His overall total of eight career goals against the Clarets means he has scored more against them in the Premier League than any other side.

The Algerian winger also took his tally of goal involvements in the Premier League to 102 (61 goals, 41 assists), making him the sixth African player to reach triple figures in the competition.…

Record-breaking Reds, homesick Spurs held – the Premier League Data Diary

The Premier League table is taking on a familiar look after matchweek four, with undefeated Liverpool and Manchester City setting the pace following comfortable victories.

But there are some unexpected sides among the chasing pack, with Leicester City and Crystal Palace completing the top four after home wins, while Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham sit outside the top six.

At the other end of the table, promoted Aston Villa and Norwich City are struggling to get going and both suffered away defeats, while the division is propped up by last season s FA Cup finalists Watford, who picked up their first point.

A delve into the Opta data on the weekend s action reveals the milestones being passed and records being set as the 2019-20 season unfolds.

Brazil icon Ronaldo the best player I´ve seen – Mourinho

Jose Mourinho says Brazil icon Ronaldo is the best player he has ever seen.

The Portuguese was assistant coach to Bobby Robson during the striker s stunning 1996-97 season with Barcelona when he scored 47 goals in 49 appearances across all competitions.

Ronaldo went on to enjoy goal-laden spells at Inter and Real Madrid and fired Brazil to a fifth World Cup triumph in 2002 before hanging up his boots in 2011. 

Mourinho coached Cristiano Ronaldo for three years at Madrid and has watched Barca forward Lionel Messi throughout his career, with the two players considered to be among the greatest of all time.

But while conceding the pair have sustained their brilliance over longer periods, Mourinho who has been out of a job since his departure from Manchester …
