He has been named the best defender in the league for the last five months in a row.

Comunicado Oficial: Milito.#WelcomeMilitao | #RealMadridhttps://t.co/ffiYxYuFhu— Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadrid) March 14, 2019

A versatile footballer, Militao plays largely as a centre-back although he has also spent time at right-back. His speed, positioning and anticipation are his greatest assets, while he is also strong in the air.“These qualities have been on consistent display since his arrival at Porto last summer as he has adapted swiftly to the European game.Militao, who had previously been linked with Manchester United and Liverpool, becomes the first signing of Zinedine Zidane’s second spell as Real Madrid manager.Zidane returned to the Bernabeu earlier this week just 10 months after stepping down as the club’s boss. Zidane becomes Real’s third manager of the season with the club sacking both Julen Lopetegui and his successor Santiago Solari amid various on-field struggles.Los Blancos are third in LaLiga – 12 points behind leaders Barcelona – and were knocked out the Copa del Rey by their fierce Clasico rivals.The reigning European Champions also dropped out the Champions League at the first knockout stage with Ajax triumphing 4-1 at the Bernabeu last week to complete a remarkable 5-3 defeat of Real.

Manchester United news: Gary Neville explains ‘do one’ tweet to Paul Pogba after ‘caption this’ post following Jose Mourinho sacking
Gary Neville said he remains disappointed by Paul Pogba’s behaviour following Jose Mourinho’s sacking, as he explained his you can do one tweet.Shortly after United confirmed the news the manager was leaving, Pogba posted a picture on social media with the words Caption this!2The tweet was quickly deleted, but not before a number of fans called out the midfielder for his disrespect shown towards Mourinho.Neville also offered his response to the tweet and he clearly was not happy with Pogba saying you can do one as well.

Caption This You do one as well !— Gary Neville (@GNev2) December 18, 2018

Ahead of Manchester Uniteds match at Newcastle on Wednesday, Neville explained his response on Sky Sports and the disappointment he felt.Everyone always concentrates on Paul Pogba, he said.Ive only had one problem with Paul Pogba and that was his post, which I think disrespected Jose Mourinho in losing his job, which he has not denied.

We know it didnt come from the club and it didnt come from Adidas. We know it came from Paul Pogba.My view, personally, was that was a massive disappointment to disrespect someone who has just lost their job.Ive always said Manchester United are a far better team with him in it. He also commented on some other instances of disrespectful behaviour he feels like has been going on by certain players.Neville said: You think about my stance and the idea that Alexis Sanchez had a bet with his team-mate around the manager being sacked. You remember Shaqiri, at the end of last season, when he said those words at Stoke about the players and the situation there.2I do think that these situations are the worst when a player disrespects a certain situation. I do think a line needs to be drawn.You cant just forget everything that has happened in the past, however, everything is forgiven because you move on in football.But the fact of the matter is hes now performing how he should be and thats a massive plus for United.

This is a tremendous achievement for the Silkmen, who were seven points adrift of safety when Campbell was appointed manager in November.It’s also a tremendous feat for the former Arsenal and England defender on his first managerial post.He was linked to Grimsby and Oxford United in previous years but failed to land the jobs, however, this is now a vindication over any Campbell doubters.Speaking to talkSPORT’s Dom McGuinness after Macclesfield’s survival was confirmed, Campbell said: Im very pleased with myself because I dont think anyone wanted to take the job!2I just felt I didnt want to be hanging around on the sidelines for the next six months so I took it and put everything into it – my heart, my soul, my spirit, everything and I committed to it.Thats what youve got to do in football – commit. Completely commit to the cause and see where you end up.I dont think its glamorous! Its a nice area to live in but I dont think its glamorous!I might have got some more grey hairs but I love everything about football. It keeps me alive and on my toes. I dont want to be on my toes all the time but it keeps me alive!”There is a lot of work for Macclesfield to do following their narrow escape and Campbell insisted the club needs to spend their transfer budget wisely this summer. Asked about what assurances there are at the club, Campbell said: None! I just have to make do! Youve got to make do.The thing is every year is a new budget and as long as the budget is spent in the correct way, then I think well be ok. Thats the thing really.I dont know what happened last year with the budget but theres a certain amount of money that comes into it and it just has to be apportioned in the correct way and utilised in the right way and spent accordingly really.Every season theres a new budget so I hope that I can look into that and go from there. It comes down to budget really.If youve got a healthy budget and divvied out in the right areas ten thats key.”

West Ham blasted as cringey and embarrassing over Declan Rice contract saga
West Ham have been slammed over their approach to Declan Rices contract negotiations.Talks over extending and improving the defensive midfielder’s current 3,000-a-week deal are at a standstill and, according to talkSPORT presenter Jason Cundy, the saga sums up the cringey club.

It sums up West Ham. Everything they do is cringey and embarrassing! They seem to want to do things in the cheapest possible way.@JasonCundy05 tears into #WHUFC over Declan Rices contract row pic.twitter.com/UEm3z0pDjp— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) November 13, 2018

Rice is already an important fixture in Manuel Pellegrinis first team aged just 19, and has now been offered a reported new 21,000-a-week deal as a result.Talks are said to have reached an impasse as he is asking for more, nevertheless the youngster has declared he hopes to stay with the club.Hes a young lad, began Cundy, Hes come through your system, he has established himself in the West Ham midfield.[Hes] done really well, very accomplished. He is the future.Hes a regular starter in the midfield of a Premier League club.There comes with that – for me – a standard wage which is not 20,000-a-week. Its not.1People say hes only on 3,000-a-week. I dont think West Ham can afford to allow this young man even to consider that he leaves.And when you see Samir Nasri come in, and youll be thinking to yourself and other players will be thinking: What has he done to deserve this right now?This is a player who cant even play, this is a player who cant impact on our season.It just sums up West Ham, everything they do is cringey, its embarrassing.They seem to want to do things in the cheapest possible way.
