Arsenal My Arsenal, Why The 3 - 1
~1.0 mins read
  Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has admitted that Liverpool were the superior side, following their 3-1 defeat on Monday night.

The Premier League champions ended the Gunners’ perfect start to the new season, while extending their unbeaten run at Anfield to 61 games.

  Having lost their last two matches to Arteta’s side, the Reds started the game brightly, unwilling to lose a third straight game.

Alexandre Lacazette was gifted the opener after an Andy Robertson error, before Sadio Mane, Andy Robertson and Diogo Jota all scored to hand Jurgen Klopp’s men all three points.

After the game, Arteta told Sky Sports that his players failed to convert their chances.

Lacazette was most culpable, as he flunked two clear cut chances in the second half, with the scores still 2-1.

Arteta said: “I felt we had chances of drawing or winning the game.

  â€œWhen you come to Liverpool away, you have to score your chances and not commit the mistakes we made.
“The difference is in very fine margins. The team made mistakes in the goals and our chances didn’t go in.
“We were way more effective in other games we played against them. We gave them a good fight but we’re frustrated. We’re getting better every day.”

Man United Agree Personal Terms And Agent Fees For The Signing Of 108m-rated Star
~1.3 mins read
According to reputed journalist Sam Pilger (h/t Express), Manchester United have agreed on personal terms with Jadon Sancho, while also reaching an agreement over agent fees, as they continue the pursuit of the Englishman.

It is no secret that United have been chasing the signing of Sancho from Borussia Dortmund all summer. However, the Red Devils haven’t been able to make a breakthrough, with the Germans holding out for a transfer fee of £108m. (h/t Express)


 With less than two days left for the transfer window to slam shut, the Red Devils are facing a race against time to convince Dortmund to part ways with the 20-year-old England international.

Jadon Sancho remains Manchester United’s preferred choice
However, there seems to be a positive update in the pursuit of Sancho, with the club now reaching an agreement over personal terms as well as agent fees, meaning two key aspects of the deal are done and out of the way.

As far as Dortmund are concerned, they have maintained their stance that the Englishman will not be sold. However, Manchester United are not yet giving up, despite having a bid of £90m rejected earlier this week. (h/t Express)

Even if Manchester United meet Dortmund’s £108m asking price, there is a problem of them being able to find a replacement for Sancho this late in the window. So there is a strong chance that they could still reject the bid. (h/t Express)

However, they are being linked with Ismaila Sarr. The Senegalese winger is a Jadon Sancho alternative for Manchester United. And Dortmund’s interest in him could hint at the fact that they might sanction a transfer. (h/t Express)
