Rashford is expected to be back at Manchester United soon. His future is still not certain. He was actually a really good rotational player for Barcelona this season. He made a 28 G/A in 49 matches in total!

That's hard to overlook you know... I don't know why Barcelona didn't want to keep him like a joker. They bluffed like they didn't have money. However they have just signed Anthony Gordon for €80m instead.  

Manchester United wants Barcelona to trigger the buy out clause of Marcus Rashford so he will not be back at Manchester United but as Barcelona are not ready to activate Marcus Rashford's buy out clause he will be back at Manchester United but Manchester United are going to sell him to any club that is interested in Marcus Rashford for higher fee. Marcus Rashford was really a good player for Barcelona he helped Barcelona win the la liga title, and i was expecting Barcelona would easily activate his buy out clause but i do not know what they are waiting for to sign him.

Rashford agent will probably be finding offers outside in order to get his man out of the club. Although, this might be more likely after the world cup or during it, I expect him to even give his all there since that will be a major factor of his move and United will appreciate such since that will help them to cash out something good.

I hope Barcelona make their stance more clearer in order for him to know what's next for him, trusting Barcelona management word as a loanee is the last thing that any should believed.

As far as Marcus Rashford is still in Barcelona his agent will not find offers for him outside because Marcus Rashford's agent is still believing Barcelona is going to buy him but if Barcelona does not sign him then his agent will find offers outside but that will happen after the world cup. Marcus Rashford had a great season in Barcelona, if he maintains his current performance in the world cup he will do well and increase his chances of getting an offer after the world cup. Barcelona does not rate Marcus Rashford that is the reason they are yet to agree a deal with Manchester United, and i am sure they will not buy him since they are offering Manchester United £13 million.

Arsenal celebrated their PL championship today. They were so close to even winning the CL also but it slipped through their fingers...

There are Saka and Arteta in the image above. The first times for them both at Arsenal and celebrating the league championship now.

Now they must have felt relieved a lot after finally putting an end to their titleless run of 22 years.  

Saka should be deployed back to left fullback. Arsenal should go out signing a better winger like Oliseh who can help them dictate matches.

Congratulations to them for winning the Premier league competition. They are the most deserved, they could also win it again next season.

They will go back to the Champions League and compete hard. Declan Rice already sending a strong message to fans and fellow players.

[Volgastallion]

At least Arteta show to everyone something very or better to say super important that is he can win, and this Premier League win is a lot for all the Arsenal fans, we all know for sure they also want to become CHampions League champions but well that is not easy at all and is not that normal to win the two in the same season.

Lets see what they do in the next season.

Rashford must be disappointed that Barcelona didn’t sign him permanently. Perhaps the reason Barcelona chose to sign Anthony Gordon over Rashford is because of Gordon’s impressive Champions League stats, where he scored 10 goals. Additionally, Gordon is younger than Rashford and can play in various positions. Now, with Rashford’s return to Manchester United, will he secure a starting spot under Carrick? I don’t think so, and it’s highly likely Rashford will be loaned out to another club again, as it seems Carrick already has his sights set on specific players in the transfer market.

[Stormisover]

I keep wondering the kind of Grace Manchester United is operating with in the English premier League, aside from the golden boots and golden gloves, Manchester United players are sweeping every individual award that's in that league, Senne Lammens just won the English premier League signing of the season, and it's really outrageous, like had it been Michael Carrick came to the to club earlier than the time he came, mehn Manchester United could be in this Arsenal's position with no doubt, and many football fans still doubt what he can do comes next season.

Absolutely, that's why Rashford might feel a bit frustrating, Gordon's versatility and those champion league numbers definitely make him an attractive option for Barcelona, as for Manchester United I'm not sure Rashford will walk straight into the starting under Carrick either seems like the  club has a clear vision for the team a loan move might not be a bad idea for him to get consistent minutes and rebuild his confidence.

To be truthful for once, that guy knows very well that Barcelona was not going to sign him, he knew very well that's why he was trying to force his relationship with Spain, this is to send message to Barcelona that he won't to stay in the club but the club had their plan already. If they want him as permanent deal, they would have gone for him without further negotiations but they took him as loan as no one was willing to take him, it was a cheap service to Barcelona.

What I don't understand with this is the fact that his return to Manchester United doesn't change anything about the club unless Carrick doesn't get to decide who start the club, he will not want to bench Rashford for nothing not after what they saw him did in Barcelona. If indeed Manchester United will be going to Champions League next season then rest assure they will need Rashford but if they want to be unfortunate, they should try and not use him and see.

There are some transfer rumours going around related to Arsenal recently. You know that Leao has stated that he wants to leave Milan this summer.

Right after that he has been linked with Arsenal.    What do you think about this potential signing for them if the rumours turn out to be true.

I believe he is a really talented winger apart from his performances at Milan this season. He can be preferred as CF as well sometimes.

Arsenal are disappointed that they didn't win the champions league title and in my own opinion I think they are not supposed to because for them to achieve what they could this season in winning the premier league title should be enough for them coming from where they have been all these years. Their pain is based on the fact that they almost won the title but due to some circumstances they got unlucky. They played well against psg and that means that they have what it takes to do better next season if they would still be in form.

Saka has done a nice work since he was converted to a winger, i do not think he should be deployed back to fullback. If Saka is not functioning very well as a winger, Arsenal should sign another winger that will make Saka raise his game and perform well. Arsenal as the premier league champions, they will want to win the premier league next season, they will sign better players for them to be able to dominate and win premier league, so you do not need to worry yourself about Arsenal signing a better winger. Arsenal is the most consistent team in the 2025-2026 premier league season, so they deserved the premier league title.

There is no doubt that Rashford is keen to stay at barcelona. He has even tried to attract the attention of Barcelona management for the past few years. He came to barcelona on loan last  season. And I would say he has performed better than expected.

hansi flick It is not certain whether rashford is still interested. But Barcelona will benefit from adding Rashford to the squad. He has been able to adapt well with the barcelona players. Rashford has a good relationship with other players. Also, Barcelona probably will not have to spend a high amount of transfer  money for Rashford.

Liverpool has done the right thing by sacking Arne Slot but the problem is that the decision was too late!

Because they have missed the chance of signing Xabi Alonso. Just how can they be this careless? Like everyone was expecting them to sign a deal with Xabi Alonso soon.

They had better find the right name for themselves. Otherwise they will regret being this late about this sacking and bringing Xabi Alonso instead.

They are late to sign Xabi Alona because they need an Experience manger and Andoni Iraola have premier league as well as Xabi Alonso don't have premier league experience.  Hope So Xabi Alonso adapt Premier League at Chelsea and give them a good battle next season to the top team . Because experience and New Managers battle will be interesting we didn't see many coaches battle after kloop vs Pep but I think it's time Xabi Alonso can make this happen I just Hope Xabi Alonso can succeed at Chelsea.  Because they have experience of premier league as a player . So there is not doubt they can't succeed in premier league

Xabi Alonso may not have experience in the Premier League as a manager but I think he is a top class manager so there is no doubt that Chelsea can improve a lot under his leadership next season. You are right that the current Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has experience of managing in the Premier League club because we know he was the manager of Bournemouth. Even under his leadership this season Bournemouth are behind Liverpool i.e. they finished sixth in the Premier League in the 2025/26 season so it seems that that is why Liverpool authorities may be more attracted to this manager. By the way it is expected that Xabi Alonso can handle the big clubs in the PL season and can also lead Chelsea to the top four next season.

He is a player that is full of talent, but why I don't like him is that he has not evolved since he came into the scene a few seasons back. At Milan presently, he is still playing like a teenager that is more interested in having fun on the pitch, than evolving and being a game changer for his Milan side.

I absolutely don't know if he may take that childishness out of him if he moves to the English premier league, but for him to get to his full potential, he needs a manager that will guide him there through discipline, that's why he needs someone like pep guardiola or Jose Mourinho as manager, than Mikel arteta that may not pay close attention to his development.

Leao will turn out to be a total bust for whatever team buys him
i'm saying this as a long time Milan fan. he doesn't track back and he doesn't press. if he can't find open space, he's completely ineffective. Plus, he's incredibly moody.

At least Arteta show to everyone something very or better to say super important that is he can win, and this Premier League win is a lot for all the Arsenal fans, we all know for sure they also want to become CHampions League champions but well that is not easy at all and is not that normal to win the two in the same season.

Lets see what they do in the next season.

M. Arteta has shown to the world and Arsenal club management that the faith had on his project for Arsenal was worth it,

winning the premier league was the most dream of all Arsenal fans and it happened that coincidentally the club performance took them to the final of the champions league and that extended their expectation to europe  championship in an attempt to double their trophies.

It was not like Arsenal got prepared for the champions league trophy from the beginning of the season as much as they did for the premier league that was won. Next season they can go ahead and concentrate on winning the champions league if they can get to the final again.

Arteta has really taking this Arsenal team to another level and I knew it was just a matter of time before they start winning the big trophies,  so I am not really surprised that they won the premier league this season. I am really glad they won it, because I think it's well deserved, because they have been the most consistent team in the premier league.
It's such a pity they did not win the champions league too, but I think they should be proud of themselves,  because no one expected them to take the final to penalties, but they defiled all odd and gave PSG a run for their money. I think they will win the premier league again next season, and also get a good run in the champions league,  but I believe they will win the champions league within the next 3 years.

I kind of agree with you, though, but I think they became ready even though they were not prepared at some point when they saw how far they'd gone in the competition. I think this shouldn't be enough reason why they didn't lift the Champions League trophy because they were unbeaten. Just that they missed/misused the very opportunity they had at their fingertips to carry that trophy, they played with lots of fears and emotions that they started defending when they were not supposed to, and that mistake goes to Arteta.

Milner retires... He is really one of the legends of PL football. I mean he was a pretty good midfielder in the past and still continued to play until the age of 40. He even played much longer than I expected in this tough league.

Rashford must be disappointed that Barcelona didn’t sign him permanently. Perhaps the reason Barcelona chose to sign Anthony Gordon over Rashford is because of Gordon’s impressive Champions League stats, where he scored 10 goals. Additionally, Gordon is younger than Rashford and can play in various positions. Now, with Rashford’s return to Manchester United, will he secure a starting spot under Carrick? I don’t think so, and it’s highly likely Rashford will be loaned out to another club again, as it seems Carrick already has his sights set on specific players in the transfer market.

I guess so... Because I think Rashford was quite happy there. He made a really important level of score contribution as well. 28 G/A we are talking about... It's great for a rotation player.

Now I wonder what his future is going to be. I don't know if Carrick wants to keep him. Maybe he would if he had the chance of watching him a little this season.

He had a period where he played well and was on the rise. At that time, all the teams wanted to buy him, but it's not like that anymore. He's going to leave Milan, and the team that signs him will have to accept the problems you mentioned. A player who doesn't track back after losing the ball up front puts his team behind. His team is more likely to concede goals on quick counter-attacks.

[Creeper0]

I don't see anything wrong with Arsenal being defensive. Especially in a final where you have a strong defensive line when you are leading by 1 goal, it is wrong not to play a defensive plan. However, after the 1-1 draw, Arsenal tried to be a bit more aggressive, but PSG's strong defensive line was the main obstacle to their attack. After the match was tied, we saw counterattacks from both sides, but neither team was successful, so can you blame Luis Enrique for being defensive? If you take the penalty out of the match, you will see that Arsenal were successful in their plan. I blame their luck for the defeat and I blame pressure tolerance.
