Robert Lewandowski has encouraged Manchester United supporters to be patient with Joshua Zirkzee while the ‘amazing’ forward adapts to life in the Premier League. Zirkzee arrived at Old Trafford with weighty expectations on his shoulders on the back of a £36.5million move from Serie A outfit Bologna in the summer transfer window. After a dream debut against Fulham, though, the goals have dried up for Zirkzee, with the 23-year-old failing to hit the target in any of his 16 appearances in United colours. It has been a similar story on the international stage, with Zirkzee left out of Ronald Koeman’s…

He was delighted to progress, but was not impressed with the sparse crowd in Leicester, despite a…

After a third international break in as many months, the Premier League is back and an intriguing set of fixtures awaits in the English top flight this weekend. A convincing 2-0 victory over Aston Villa ensured Liverpool entered the break with an imperious five-point lead at the summit and Arne Slot’s men will look to tighten their grip on top spot away to lowly Southampton. Manchester City, sitting second in the table, have been near-unrecognisable across a wretched run of form, with the champions losing four games on the spin in all competitions for the first time since 2006. However,…

In his latest Metro column, heavyweight contender and Olympian Frazer Clarke looks down a troubling road for boxing with legitimate world champions now queuing up to fight Jake Paul. Watching Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson, there was only one word to describe it: sad. It wasn’t enjoyable at all. It shouldn’t have happened and I’m just glad Mike got out of it without getting hurt. I have to give Paul respect in that sense, he took his foot off the gas towards the end and I’m glad he did otherwise it could have got really nasty. People are queuing up…

A little under halfway through Mikel Arteta’s five years at Arsenal. Feeling a little delicate, I sat down on my sofa for the 12:30 kick off. Iwas wearing a white jumper, and only remember that because I neverwear white on a match day out of superstition. But that day, somethingabout it felt right. A new year, a renewal, a new beginning. Arsenal were facing Pep Guardiola’s Premier League championsManchester City at The Emirates… and I was fearing the worst.But there was no need. Arsenal were extraordinary. I could not believe what I was watching attimes. We connected inside and out,…

The inherited condition, which is named after the French surgeon Baron Guillaume Dupuytren, is…

Manchester City midfielder Rodri admits he would be open to discussions over a move to Real Madrid. The 28-year-old has been a pivotal figure in Pep Guardiola’s side since he was signed in a £62.6 million deal from Atletico Madrid in 2019. During his time at City, Rodri has won 10 trophies including four Premier League titles and the Champions League. In the summer, he was also instrumental in Spain’s success at Euro 2024, which was a major factor behind him beating Vinicius Jr to win the Ballon d’Or last month. Reports in Spain have claimed that Madrid have identified Rodri…

Arne Slot has confirmed whether Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are fit to play Liverpool’s Premier League clash at Southampton. The Reds travel to St. Mary’s on Sunday with the chance to extend their five point lead in the table. However, Slot is having to deal with a number of injury issues to key players, most notably captain Virgil van Dijk and and vice-captain Alexander-Arnold. The latter picked up a thigh issue just before the international break and was one of many England players to withdraw from Three Lions duty. There was hope that the right-back would return to…
