Rayan joined Bournemouth on January 27th By February 10th he had 2 goals and 1 assist in 3 games He became only the THIRD teenager in PL history to register a goal or assist in each of his first 3 appearances After Robbie Keane in 1999 and Anthony Martial in 2015 He's 19. Born in 2006. And Real Madrid, Liverpool & Man United are already tracking him 👀

💎🍒 This year, Bournemouth signed young Brazilian forward Rayan from Vasco da Gama. The fee was around £24.7m... 🤝 Just a few months later, Rayan earned his first ever call-up to the Brazil national team. 🇧🇷🤩

Bruno to United? 👀 A midfielder who actually wins the ball and creates exactly what we've been missing for years. 🔴 Newcastle missing Champions League could be our opportunity. But knowing United's transfer luck we'll probably end up watching him go to Real Madrid instead. 😂

🚨 A gentleman’s agreement could allow Bruno Guimarães to leave Newcastle. 👀 The midfielder is understood to have a verbal understanding to explore moves to Champions League clubs if Newcastle fail to qualify. 🏆 However, the agreement may not be legally enforceable. ⚖️ (Source: @JacobsBen)

@WelBeast Real Madrid AGAIN 😅

Let’s see what you got.

Hot take but the data actually supports this more than people admit 👇 Rooney: 253 PL goals in the hardest league on earth 16 trophies. World Cup Golden Boot. Carried England for a decade. Neymar: 39 trophies but left every club the moment it got hard PSG ، couldn't win UCL. Al Hilal ، barely played. Brazil injured constantly. Dribbles don't win trophies. Showing up when it matters does. And on that metric? Rooney wins every time 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I love Neymar but please end this Neymar VS Rooney debate immediately Apart from Dribbling, Neymar had nothing on Wayne Mark Rooney. Learn respect.

@TifeRMFC Brazil 🇧🇷 — and it's not even close Alisson, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Casemiro, Guimarães, Vinicius, Raphinha, Cunha

Guess the national team VERY HARD

@433 Yesterday Messi scored his 900th goal 🐐 Ronaldo already has 965 The stat that changes everything 👇 Messi reached 900 in 94 FEWER games than Ronaldo At 38 vs 39 With 400+ assists vs Ronaldo's 250+ Two aliens from another planet The rest of us are just spectators 🌍

Enjoy them both while we still can ❤️⚽️ Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are now both in the 900-goal club — and still counting… these two have taken the game to a whole new level 😮‍💨 And they’re still doing it at 41 and 38, with new records still in sight… the longevity and passion of these two is on another level 👏 I’m not ready for their retirements yet 🥹

The stat that should make Chelsea and Spurs move FAST 👇 Fisnik Asllani 8 goals, 7 assists, 25 Bundesliga games Release clause: €30M Age: 23 Dream club: Barcelona A complete striker available for £26M in 2026? That's not a transfer that's a robbery 🚨 Both clubs better move before Barca does 👀

🚨 Chelsea and Tottenham are both targeting Hoffenheim striker Fisnik Asllani. 👀 The Premier League duo are planning attacking reinforcements this summer and see the 23-year-old as a strong fit. ⚽️ Bayern Munich are also in the race, setting up potential competition for his signature. 🇩🇪 Asllani has impressed this season with 8 goals and 5 assists in 25 Bundesliga appearances. 📊 Previous links with Barcelona underline his growing reputation. 🔵🔴 (Source: Bild)

@Cunha__utd Hi

All Football fans, even if you have 0 followers, Just say "Hi" let's follow you.

Hot take but the data actually backs this up 👇 Rooney: 253 PL goals. 3 league titles. World Cup Golden Boot. Performed in the cold and rain of England for 13 years. Neymar: Left Barcelona the moment things got hard. Left PSG the moment things got hard. Left Brazil the moment things got hard. Rooney showed up in every weather. Neymar showed up when the sun was shining. Talent isn't the debate. Character is. And it's not close. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Wayne Rooney was a better player than Neymar. By a country mile. There isn’t one aspect of football where Neymar outshines Rooney. Vision, output, effectiveness, mentality…it’s all Rooney. Some things in football are to be debated, others are straight up fact, this is the latter

Respect to this TOTW but where is Salah? 👀 The man scored his 50th UCL goal with a curling left-foot finish into the top corner Assisted another. Carried Liverpool through their worst PL season in years. Kane gets in for 50 UCL goals too But Salah does it as a WINGER and gets left out? The Egyptian King was robbed 👑

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Champions League r/o 16 team of the week! 💫

@TrollFootball Galatasaray players discovering the Anfield grass is actually quite comfortable 😭

Galatasaray highlights in the Champions League

All of this is true but let's not forget the context 👇 At the start of 2026 United were 13th under Amorim Opta gave them a 6.7% chance of reaching the Champions League They were booed. Humiliated. Written off. Carrick took over and went unbeaten in his first 6 games Now they're 3rd and heading to the UCL The turnaround is real but the next manager inherits the credit 👀

Really have to applaud Michael Carrick, qualifying for the Champions League is going to transform Man United in so many ways.. - Whether it's Carrick or someone else, the next manager will take over in our healthiest state in years (squad quality/footballing structure/feel good factor). - Massive financial gains for the club. - Our ability to attract star players is going to take another jump forwards, with a big summer ahead. - Bruno Fernandes will almost definitely stay next season, and be at the centre of all plans. #Ad | @Coral

@FabrizioRomano Garnacho's face when he received that note said everything 😭 "Bro we're losing 8-2. What does this note even change?" The real question is why is Garnacho at Chelsea in the first place? £40M for a player who can't get a start. Man United really sold him at the right time 👀

🚨 Liam Rosenior on giving notes to Ale Garnacho: “I know people criticise… I’m not affected. I’m here to win football games”.

@Arsenal Happy birthday Kolo 🎂 Signed for £150,000 from Ivory Coast Became an Invincible. Won the PL with Arsenal AND City. 353 Premier League appearances the most by any African player. Ever. All for £150k. Wenger really was built different .

Happy birthday, Kolo 🥳

Seeing Toby back at N17 hits different 🖤 Let's talk about what made Alderweireld genuinely special because people forget 👇 When he arrived at Spurs in 2015, Tottenham had one of the leakiest defences in the top half of the table By the end of his first season? Only 25 goals conceded the best defensive record in the entire Premier League that year 236 appearances. 60 clean sheets. A UCL Final. Scored in the North London derby. TWICE. Once in the old White Hart Lane. Once in the new stadium. The stat nobody talks about 👇 Alderweireld completed more passes under pressure than any other centre-back in the PL during the 2016-17 season He didn't just defend he built from the back before it was fashionable Pochettino's Spurs were built on his foundation Kane scored the goals. Eriksen made the magic. But Alderweireld was the reason it all held together at the back 🔒 One of the most underrated defenders in Premier League history. No debate.

Great to see you, @AlderweireldTob! 🤩 You're always welcome back in N17 🫶

Benjamin Sesko winning PFA Player of the Month is actually one of the most insane stats of the season 👇 He scored 3 goals in February Know how many MINUTES he played? Just 88. That's a goal every 29 minutes — as a substitute. Not a starter. A super-sub who came off the bench and won games that United had no business winning. Fulham at home? Sesko late winner ✅ West Ham away? Sesko last-minute equaliser ✅ Everton away? Sesko second-half decider ✅ 6ft 5in. 35.3 km/h top speed. 50% aerial win rate. He's not a target man. He's not a poacher. He's something in between that Premier League defences simply don't know how to deal with. And the most terrifying part? He's still only 22 years old. Manchester United might have accidentally found their striker for the next decade.

You deserve this, Ben ❤️ Our striker collects his #PFA Fans' Player of the Month award for February 📸🏅

The forgotten truth about Bellerín that Arsenal fans never talk about 👇 In 2015/16 he was the ONLY Arsenal player named in the PFA Team of the Year Not Özil. Not Sánchez. Not Cech. Just Bellerín. A 16-year-old kid who left Barcelona for London, became one of the fastest right-backs in PL history, won 3 FA Cups, came back from a brutal ACL that would have finished most careers — and never once complained. He didn't leave with drama. He didn't demand a transfer. He just quietly moved on like a professional. Players like him don't come around often. Happy 31st birthday Héctor 🎂🙏

Happy birthday, Hector 🎈

PSG crushed Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate 😅 Liverpool beat Galatasaray 4-1 Szobo is right to be cautious but here's the stat 👇 Salah just scored his 50th UCL goal 🤯 First African player EVER to reach that milestone PSG should worry about THAT more than Liverpool worrying about them 👀

🚨👀 Szoboszlai on PSG: “I watched them play against Chelsea. They are a really good team… …but I think we showed last night we can do everything”. 🖐🏼

@DeadlineDayLive Hot take 🔥 Guimarães at Man Utd would be a WASTE of talent He's Newcastle's best player by far — but United don't need a No.8 They need a No.6 to replace Casemiro Also… Real Madrid just entered the race 👀 Bruno knows where the real trophies are 🏆

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Manchester United are reportedly in 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗗 talks to sign Newcastle captain Bruno Guimarães for around €80M. 💰🔴 Negotiations are progressing as United push to land the Brazilian midfielder ahead of the summer window 🇧🇷👀 (Source: Reuters)
