Manchester United are reportedly preparing to part ways with midfielder Marouane Fellaini , signaling a potential shift in the squad ahead of the new season. This decision comes as the club looks to refresh its roster, focus on younger talent, and streamline wages. Fellaini, a key figure in some past campaigns, has seen his role diminish in recent years.

Several factors have contributed to United’s willingness to let Fellaini leave: Reduced Playing Time – Under the current coaching setup, Fellaini has often found himself on the bench. The club prefers midfielders who can contribute to fast-paced, possession-based play. Age and Career Stage – At 31, Fellaini is nearing the later stages of his career. United may prefer investing in younger players who can provide long-term value. Financial Strategy – Selling Fellaini would ...

When Eden Hazard joined Chelsea, his training sessions quickly became a topic of discussion among teammates and coaches alike. Rather than just another talented player, Hazard displayed an unusual level of skill that left fellow professionals impressed from the very first drills. Arriving at Cobham — Chelsea’s training ground — Hazard didn’t dominate with speed or strength. Instead, his impact came through remarkable ball control and instinctive movement . According to former Blues striker Olivier Giroud , watching Hazard in practice was eye‑opening — the midfielder’s ability to hold onto the ball and evade challenges made him difficult to dispossess. Giroud admitted he was taken aback by how hard it was to take the ball off him. This wasn’t flashy showmanship for its own sake. Even in tightly‑packed practice games, Hazard moved with purpose. His balance, close control, and sudden changes of direction often allowed him to navigate through defenders with ease. One thing that raised ey...

Chelsea and Belgium star Eden Hazard recently spoke candidly about the 2018 Ballon d’Or , admitting that he doesn’t believe he’s the most deserving candidate this year. Despite a strong season both at club and international level, Hazard told media he sees other players as more worthy of football’s most prestigious individual prize. The forward — who has been an integral part of Chelsea’s attack and helped Belgium reach the latter stages of the 2018 FIFA World Cup — insisted that while he’s proud of his contributions, he doesn’t think this year’s award should be his . Initially, Hazard acknowledged that Luka Modrić — the Real Madrid midfielder and World Cup finalist with Croatia — was someone he respected as a leading contender. Hazard praised Modrić’s outstanding achievements in both the Champions League and on the world stage, suggesting that the Croatian’s performances were worthy of the accolade. “I don’t think I’m the one who deserves the Ballon d’Or this year,” Hazard said. “...
