Erik ten Hag said that Manchester United were trying to extend the contracts of not only Rashford but also Dalot these days. It would be the best for Manchester United. These are both decent players and especially Rashford is a really valuable player for this team. Maybe there is some drop in his effort lately but he would make up for it later on.
It is official that Man United will extend 5 players, including Rashford. There are 5 players to have contract extensions. They are Rashford, Dallot, De Gea, Shaw, and Fred. I'm actually quite surprised that Man United wants to extend De Gea and Fred's contracts. I assume these players didn't show impressive performance. But Ten Hag may think they sill can contribute well in Man United squad. Check: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-contract-ten-hag-28714744I disagree about De Gea actually. He is still a very important part of the team right now. He has made very critical saves for his team so far. Things would have been even worse for them if it weren't for him. Of course they are still not good at defending which is understandable from the number of goals they have conceded so far. But as long as they don't find a better alternative to De Gea, I don't expect them to give up on him yet. Considering their current situation it wouldn't be easy for them to convince another top goalkeeper to come here as well. |

I agree that Ronaldo doesn't have that luxury of choosing the team he wants anymore. Because he wasn't even able to play properly for Manchester United from the beginning of the season to the date he left the team. He couldn't impress teams by showing a high level of performance in the World Cup either. In this case he can just hope to get an offer from the kind of a team he wants.
But that kind of teams don't seem very likely to make a contract offer to him these days. Of course we have been in the World Cup break so maybe they wanted to wait for the World Cup to end. We will see if he will be able to get an offer from a good team in Europe.

Inter just have such a potential in this season but they can't reflect this on the standings. Otherwise they are the second most effective attacking team in the league right now. The number of goals they have scored is nearly the same with Napoli. But they haven't been doing good in defense I'm afraid. They have conceded so many goals which dragged them down.
However there is still a long season ahead. Even if they don't catch up with Napoli they can still finish the season at the second position actually. They just need to improve their defending and this will help very much.

France extended the time period they didn't score their second goal and this was just enough for Morocco players to keep their hopes up. Especially in the second half they put a bigger effort but still couldn't score the goal they were searching for. France finally punished them for that and finished the game there by 2-0. If Morocco didn't waste big chances maybe we were going to watch extra time or penalty shoot-outs.
France and Argentina are going to face each other in the final stage and every kind of a result can be seen in a match like this. This is a golden opportunity for Messi and his friends to make Argentina champions for the first time since 1986.

Joao Felix is a player who can be really helpful for Manchester United in the attacking side. He is a really talented striker but Atletico Madrid are preparing to part their ways with him anyway. Maybe he hasn't been one of the players Simeone likes to see in his lineup considering his strategies. I think Felix is great for especially teams that love to play attacking focused.
Manchester United like to play an offensive football this season and the thing they lack has been some finishing skills. They could have scored many more goals so far. I hope they can finish the Felix deal before some other teams intervene.
Previously, it was said that Joao Felix was not interested in United or Aston Villa. now strong news that Arsenal seems very interested in him. Juventus even offered to swap Dusan Vlahovic for Joao Felix. Regarding the players, there are still too many rumors in the media. and the deal still hasn't happened. we are still waiting for the beginning of the year to see what agreement will be reached. It is interesting to hear about Juventus' offering such deal. Because I don't think Vlahovic is worse than Felix now. He has been very beneficial for the team with his goals so far. Therefore I wonder why they are offering such swap deal. Atletico Madrid would be okay to such deal I think. Vlahovic is already a more valuable player than Felix comparing the market prices. Manchester United were among the teams interested in Vlahovic too according to rumours. But the number of news relating Arsenal to him is much higher. |

Morocco - France is underway now. I expect France to put on a good show in this game. France are also a team that have a really strong defense. Morocco might have really big difficulties in even possible counter-attacks against them. I expect France to dominate the game from the beginning to the end honestly. This is the only way they can get a comfortable win.
And it seems that you were right  I didn't expect to see them score the first goal so early, but France has now advantage with 1-0. This can be a game with many goals, taking into account how they are playing in the first minutes of the march, but I agree with you that we will see more goals, specially scored by France. Yeah, France have scored very early in the game. They have got so close to the 2nd goal as well just now with Giroud but it came back from the post. Morocco were also really close to an equalizer before this with Ounahi. His classy shot was saved by Lloris in a great way. Things are going France's way for now in short. But they had better bring the score to 2-0 as quick as possible to decrease the level of Morocco's hopes. Morocco have no choice other than playing more offensive as of now so France can actually find the 2nd goal easily. |

I don't think either Ronaldo or Messi will get away from football completely after their retirements. These are legends who love football very much and we can understand this from their passion to play for longer years still. I think we would definitely see them both as managers or having some other roles at some big teams maybe. These teams might even be Real Madrid and Barcelona which would be really great to see. It would be lovely to see these legends competing against each other again there.  |

Argentina's 3-0 win over Croatia was really unexpected and let's see if we will witness a similar result from France in this game as well. It depends on if they break the deadlock early in the game.

I have seen some news like Juventus are planning to make an offer for Mason Mount. They are said to be ready to part ways with a couple of players just to sign him as well. Chelsea still haven't extended his contract. Mount is actually waiting for a reasonable contract to extend with them. Because he doesn't seem uncomfortable there at all.
But Chelsea don't seem to be rushing anything yet. I have heard about a contract offer by them before but Mount rejected it. They should review their offer and prepare a better one this time. Mount is still an important player for this team to be more productive.

I think Real Madrid will be back stronger than before by their upcoming games. They had some problems against smaller teams recently and lost so many points during this time. Barcelona have benefited from it and taken the lead. But the gap is only two points anyway. Real Madrid should improve their effort in the La Liga to have a good form.
Winning against Barcelona won't be enough for them for the La Liga title in the end. They need to keep up a solid form in the rest of the games as well just as Barcelona do. I know that things are becoming more serious in the Champions League on one hand. But this shouldn't affect the concentration level of the Real Madrid players in the La Liga badly.
In fact, Real Madrid are showing great results in games with small clubs - the percentage of victories this season is higher than in the past, when they became champions. Lagging behind Barcelona, I can only explain the abnormally good result of Barcelona. But I am sure that Barcelona will not be able to show such results for a long time and we will see something similar to what happened with Union Berlin. It would really be a big surprise to me if Barcelona keep up this form until the end of the season. I also think they will start stumbling at some point. However I'm not sure whether they would experience a similar thing to the one Union Berlin had. Because Union Berlin's has been a really bad streak full of draws and losses. But Barcelona might not lose points that often. We should be seeing this rivalry continuing until the end of the season whichever team get ahead. I'm just enjoying this season because it is nothing like the previous one. That one was really boring to me as Real Madrid didn't struggle at all. |

Manchester United are expected to make their attempts for extending Rashford's contract. There isn't much time left until the end of this month. He is about to be available for free transfer. Some big teams might try to dissuade him to sign a contract for themselves. One of these teams could be PSG for example. They have already had an interest in him for a long time.
However Rashford must be aware of a fact that he won't be a starting eleven player if he joins PSG. He shouldn't accept rotting there. Maybe Manchester United aren't having their best season but he is still a regular here. He is competing in the biggest league in Europe as well.

The eliminations of Brazil and Portugal were really shocking to me as well. Brazil had such an amazing attacking line that they could have made it to the final only even thanks to that. But they just wasted so many opportunities against Croatia and its cost was really high for them at the end. Portugal's elimination was also unexpected. They were a really effective attacking team before facing Morocco.
However something started to go really wrong with them. They were desperate in offense in this game. It shouldn't be this easy for a team like Morocco to make them become so helpless normally.

Arsenal's aim this season is to win the Europa league.They lost just one in the last concluded group stage,and came out ontop of their group.Indeed Mikel Arteta is is building a team capable of winning trophies,and they are proving to everyone that they are capable of winning the league.Arsenal is ontop of the premier league table,topping Manchester city that are in second place with five points clear.
The Arsenal young lads who are determined to remain ontop of the table will be without their key striker Gabriel Jesus as they resume game by December 26,as they take on West Ham.Nketiah will deputise for him,and hopefully Arsenal wins that game.It won't be bad if Arsenal win both the Europa league and the Premier league.
Arsenal want to make double this season actually. They are aiming the Premier League and Europa League titles both now. Because their run in the Premier League also has been very impressive. They just need to keep this motivation level for the rest of the season as well. Their team performance has been really fascinating in both tournaments. Jesus' injury is a big hit to them maybe but hopefully they will handle the situation well anyway. The team chemistry should stay high and this would still be enough for them to continue winning most of their games one by one. |

The scenario is like always the same in the recent years. Bayern Munich take the lead and win an easy championship. Dortmund follow them right behind and Leipzig - Freiburg - Leverkusen trio share the positions right below. This season is a little more different of course. Some teams are not having a good season.
Leverkusen started the season really horrible. They are still far away from the top positions now. Xabi Alonso's arrival has started to change something by the recent weeks though. They won their last three games. But their road is really full of obstacles until reaching top 4. I have big doubts about their making it there.
In this season we are having some changes under Bayern Munich and most chances things could be at their best for the few teams like Leipzig, Freiburg and Frankfurt are doing amazing stuff which is allowing them for having better results and chance of ending at the top of league table even Dortmund is still capable for having impressive results but now this season they have to fight hard for the pace with Leverkusen is also nine points behind from the fifth spot Berlin. And basically they are unpredictable and inconsistent which can't do good in this season even Xabi Alonso having good impact on their form after coming as coach but still very long way to go if they want to have any fair chance for the European Competitions because now look like few teams are also having improvement and quality for the staying at the top of league table. Union Berlin started to disappoint their fans by getting so many bad results in a row recently. But their position in the league is still quite good for them actually. Maybe they might not be able to keep up with Bayern Munich from now on. But they are definitely among the strongest candidates for top 4. They just need to start a good form quickly to pull themselves together. We will see how Frankfurt will deal with the Bundesliga and Champions League both at the same time. They have done a pretty good job so far. |

These are both decent players and especially Rashford is a really valuable player for this team. Maybe there is some drop in his effort lately but he would make up for it later on.
Signing for PSG and waiting in the subs there would be the worst choice he can make now. He is having the most important ages of his career. He can't just throw his career like that. He is already playing in the best league in the world regularly.

Morocco defenders will face a really huge threat. Mbappe being in the first place, players like Giroud and Griezmann are also going to be a big threat to them. These three players have been in a great shape lately. Actually Mbappe couldn't play like he wanted against England but it was still not a problem for France. Griezmann - Giroud duo put on a good show anyway.
Morocco can only try to have defend them in an area rather than trying man-to-man. They have been successful about this against some big teams so far. But I think this won't work against France for a long time.

Argentina have a tough job to do in the semi finals. Croatia are going to be a very tough opponent for them due to playing a defensive focused game. Croatia are already the last finalist in the World Cup and they want to make this happen once again to finish their incomplete job. This job was with France as they lost 4-2 back then.
Argentina should be able to take advantage of their attacking power somehow. Messi's performance will play a key role of course. van Gaal couldn't stop him and let's see if it will be the same for Dalic as well. I still expect Argentina to eliminate them.

According to mirror.uk PSG is going for Marcus Rashford who is currently 25.
The price should not be high since his contract will expire this summer, so he has only 6 months before becoming a free agent.
Yeah these speculations started to surface again. PSG were interested in signing him in the previous transfer window as well. Manchester United don't seem like they are intending to extend his contract these days. They should have signed a contract extension with him already if they want to see him in the team for more years. I don't think Rashford would say no to leaving for PSG. The only problem at this point would be how much he will be able to play there. Because it is obvious that he won't be a starting eleven player there while there are Mbappe, Messi and Neymar on the front. |
