Man Utd Could Sign ‘Elite’ £34m Fred Replacement

Manchester United have finally confirmed the departure of Fred following five years at Old Trafford.

The Brazilian has joined Turkish outfit Fenerbahce for £8.6m and although United failed to recoup the majority of the £47m they shelled out on him in 2018, the move will give Erik ten Hag some extra funds to supplement his squad.

He started just 12 Premier League matches and although he registered 12 goal contributions – six goals and six assists – it was evident he wasn’t in any of Ten Hag’s future plans.

Who could replace Fred at Manchester United?

The Dutchman is interested in signing another defender or two before the transfer window shuts, yet he may also add another midfielder to offset the loss of the Brazilian.

Fabrizio Romano confirmed last week that there was a scout in attendance to watch Jean-Clair Todibo for OGC Nice as Ten Hag looks to lure him to Old Trafford.

According to Get French Football News, however, the scouts were also watching midfielder Khephren Thuram with regard to making a potential swoop.

The Frenchman is currently valued at around €40m (£34m) by Nice and they would be willing to do business with United should they make an offer in this region.

How good is Khephren Thuram?

The 22-year-old comes from excellent footballing stock, as his father Lillian was arguably one of the finest French defenders of all time, helping his side to World Cup and European Championship glory over 20 years ago.

Thuram could be the ideal replacement for Fred for the Red Devils, especially with the fact that he is currently shining on the continent.

Khephren Thuram

Indeed, when compared to positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues, Thuram ranks in the top 5% for progressive carries per 90 (3.26) and the top 8% for successful take-ons per 90 (1.65), suggesting that he loves to progress the ball deep into the opposition half and isn’t afraid of taking on a defender or two in the process.

Those numbers aid the suggestion that he gives "Pogba vibes" as European football expert Alex Barker once put it.

In comparison, Fred ranked outside the top 40% across the big five leagues for both metrics, managing just 0.8 progressive carries and successful take-ons per 90, a major drop from the figures Thuram registered.

The Nice starlet also created more big chances (nine to four), key passes (1.1 to 0.9) and successful dribbles per game (1.3 to 0.3) than the United flop domestically, clearly indicating that he’d be an instant upgrade, especially from an attacking point of view.

Even defensively, Thuram averaged more tackles (1.5 to 1.3), interceptions (1.1 to 0.5) and won more total duels (3.8 to 2.6) per game than the new Fenerbahce midfielder.

Journalist Zach Lowy lauded the Nice gem at the beginning of the summer transfer window, saying: “Khéphren Thuram is just the sort of player that Liverpool need to transform their midfield. Elite ball carrier for someone of his size and really effective at winning the ball high up the pitch — perfect signing for Klopp’s side.”

Liverpool’s loss could certainly become Man United’s gain as Ten Hag looks to revolutionise his midfield ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Yuvraj makes 20 as Punjab skittled for 161

Group D round-up: Bengal openers lay strong platform against Chhattisgarh while Himachal control proceedings over Goa

ESPNcricinfo staff14-Oct-2017

Shailesh Bhatnagar

Vidarbha’s medium pacers shot out Punjab for 161 despite Abhishek Gupta’s 89 at the PCA Stadium in Mohali. Punjab were already in doldrums when Gupta arrived, at 33 for 4. But he single-handedly fought, making close to 70 percent of the runs his team during his stay. Lalit Yadav and Siddesh Neral snared three each, while Rajneesh Gurbani and the left-arm spinner Akshay Karnewar shared the rest equally. Vidarbha lost their captain Faiz Fazal for 21 in reply, before Sanjay Ramaswamy’s unbeaten half-century and Wasim Jaffer (22*) took them to 106 for 1 at stumps.Medium pacer Pankaj Jaiswal ran through the core of Goa’s batting as they were dismissed for 255 on the opening day against Himachal Pradesh in Dharamsala. In reply, Himachal were 2 for no loss at stumps.Jaiswal troubled Goa early, sending back their openers, Sumiran Amonkar and Swapnil Asnodkar, before accounting for Amogh Desai and Reagan Pinto, their Nos. 4 and 5. Goa’s batsmen paid the price for throwing away starts, with as many as five of them scoring between 20 and 40. That they crossed 200 was down to an unbeaten 55 from the No. 10 Rituraj Singh. Jaiswal was supported well, with Sumeet Verma grabbing three wickets, Rishi Dhawan scalping two and Gurvinder Singh getting one.Bengal’s openers Abhishek Raman and Koushik Ghosh set the template for their dominance on the opening day against Chhattisgarh with a 159-run partnership. Bengal ended the day on 283 for 2, with Raman dismissed for 94 and Ghosh run out for 114. Sudip Chatterjee (58*), who added 98 with Ghosh for the second wicket, and Manoj Tiwary, the Bengal captain, were unbeaten at the crease when stumps were called.

West Ham Make Contact Over "Absolutely Sensational" Target

With the summer transfer window approaching the final days, West Ham United could yet welcome more reinforcements, having already welcomed James Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez.

The Hammers still have some remaining budget left from the reported £105m sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal, however, and that could see them enjoy a busy end to the window.

Among their targets is KRC Genk midfielder Mike Tresor, according to reports.

What's the latest on Mike Tresor to West Ham?

As per journalist Sacha Taviolieri, the London club have made contact with Tresor over a potential summer switch.

This follows the news that Hammers midfielder Lucas Paqueta is under investigation for off-field breaches, which put an end to any potential move to Manchester City.

Taviolieri reported that West Ham must settle the Paqueta situation before they move ahead with any potential deal for Tresor. They are, however, reportedly keen on making their move next week, starting with contacting Genk.

If they are to make their move, the Premier League side will have to do it sooner rather than later, of course, given that the transfer window closes in just over a week. It's certainly a move to keep an eye on, though.

Should West Ham sign Mike Tresor?

Described as the Belgium Pro League's best player of the 2022/2023 season, everything suggests that West Ham would be signing some player if they pushed ahead with their pursuit of Tresor before the window shuts.

At just 24 years of age, too, the attacking midfielder, who can also play out wide, could soon be entering his prime, so may get better with a move to somewhere as competitive as the Premier League.

At his best, Tresor has attracted plenty of praise, too, including from Football Talent Scout's Jacek Kulig, who said, after pointing out the midfielder's numbers last season.

"Crazy numbers. Absolutely sensational season for the 23-year-old Genk attacking midfielder."

The numbers that Kulig was talking about, of course, come from last season, when Tresor scored eight goals, made a sensational 22 assists, created 19 big chances, with three key chances per 90, and a goal involvement every 99 minutes in a total of 35 games played.

Looking at the statistics, Kulig was more than correct with his verdict of the 24-year-old. If West Ham are to lose Paqueta this season, too, whether that be through a move away or other circumstances, given his possible alleged breaches, then welcoming a player of Tresor's calibre seems like a must.

Paqueta made 155 progressive passes for the Hammers last season, and replacing that output at the London Stadium will be no easy task for David Moyes. Tresor more than proved his ability to create last season, however, with his 22 assists an incredible number in the Belgium Pro League.

As West Ham look to avoid another relegation scrap in the current campaign, then welcoming further reinforcements is imperative. As things stand, Ward-Prowse and Alvarez may not be enough to help Moyes and co reach their target in the coming year.

As the window nears its end, the Hammers will certainly be an interesting side to keep an eye on.

Lewis, Delport fifties set up crushing win

Cameron Delport and Evin Lewis scorched away to half-centuries as Dhaka Dynamites resurrected their Bangladesh Premier League title defense with a crushing 65-run win over Khulna Titans

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsRaton Gomes/BCB

Cameron Delport and Evin Lewis scorched away to half-centuries as Dhaka Dynamites resurrected their Bangladesh Premier League title defense with a crushing 65-run win over Khulna Titans in Sylhet. Lewis and Delport went on a six-hitting spree in a period of batting mayhem that lasted nine overs. The two added 116 for the second wicket that hauled Dhaka to 202 for 7 – the first 200-plus total in the tournament since the 2013 edition.No team had ever successfully chased down a 200-plus total in the BPL, and that stayed on Sunday as Khulna managed a measly 137 in their reply, getting bowled out in 18.1 overs, with Jofra Archer having top-scored with 36.The six-barrageBetween them, Lewis and Delport smashed eight sixes. While all of Lewis’ three sixes were over midwicket, Delport favoured the long-on region, where he collected four of his five sixes. Carlos Brathwaite, Abu Jayed and Shafiul Islam bore the brunt of Delport’s destructive form. In the 12th over, Delport shellacked Mosharraf Hossain for 18 runs off five balls, first depositing him over long-on and deep midwicket for successive sixes before reverse-sweeping him for four. Delport complemented his big hits with four fours and finished with 64 off 31 balls, leaving Khulna wondering what could have been avoided had Nazmul Hossain Shanto taken Delport’s catch at long-on when the batsman was on 10.Lewis deposited Shafiul Islam over cow corner before shoveling a four through the same region. But the bowler hit back three deliveries later when Lewis offered a simple catch to cover after failing to get on top of the bounce of a short ball, ending what had been an entertaining stand.The fightbackThe rest of Dhaka’s order couldn’t quite live up to the high bar set by Lewis and Delport. In fact, they could barely gather any steam. As a result, Dhaka slipped from 154 for 1 in the 13th over to finish on 202 for 7 in 20 overs, collecting just 48 runs in the last seven overs, for the loss of six wickets.Jayed was Khulna’s best bowler, taking 2 for 29 in four overs that included the scalp of Delport. Shafiul ended with two wickets too, but at the cost of 41 runs in three overs. Archer and Brathwaite took one wicket apiece, but it was a day to forget for Mosharraf, who gave away 21 runs in his only over.The freefallKhulna’s early run rate in pursuit of 203 was quite good. What didn’t help, though, was losing six wickets inside nine overs. The slide began with Abu Hider getting rid of Shanto in his first over, before Brathwaite fell lbw to Shakib Al Hasan two balls later. Walton and Rilee Rossouw then combined briefly for a third-wicket stand of 35 that ended when Walton slashed Shakib to Kumar Sangakkara behind the stumps. Hider’s one-handed stunner off his own bowling sent back Mahmudullah in the seventh over. A recovery thereafter never materialised.What they said”We just complemented each other and rotated strike well. We both are good strikers of the ball. We both went for it and it paid off tonight.”

وأهدر تومياسو فرصة لآرسنال في الدقيقة السادسة برأسية مرت جوار القائم، ورد إيفرتون بمحاولة تصدى لها رايا.

ورغم ضغط آرسنال، إلا أن إيفرتون هو من افتتح التسجيل بهدف عن طريق إدريسا جاي من ركلة حرة حيث سدد تسديدة قوية اصطدمت بالحائط ثم تسكن الشباك في الدقيقة 40. أهداف مباراة آرسنال وإيفرتون

في شوط المباراة الثاني، أصيب جابرييل واضطر ميكيل أرتيتا مدرب آرسنال لإجراء تبديل وشارك أولكسندر زينشنكو بديلاً له في الدقيقة 59.

وبعد 10 دقائق أجرى أرتيتا تبديلين آخرين بمشاركة يورين تيمبر وسميث روي بدلاً من بن وايت وتوماس بارتي.

Mano Menezes promete ajustar o sistema defensivo do Bahia

Na coletiva de imprensa o treinador chamou a atenção para o sistema defensivo, que tem sido muito vazado nas últimas rodadas e prometeu ajustar os erros.

‘Nós temos que diminuir o número de gols sofridos. Bahia está as equipes que mais sofreram gols no Campeonato Brasileiro até agora. Quando sempre sofre um gol, precisa no mínimo fazer dois para vencer a partida. Entendemos um pouco isso. Hoje sofremos pela entrada da área porque nos faltou numericamente um jogador em determinados momentos para fechar com dois. Mesmo que você jogue com triângulo, quando você é atacado, você pode puxar dois para a linha de defesa. Em determinados momentos nos faltou isso um pouco mais e o Atlético-GO tirou vantagem’, afirmou.

Agora, o Bahia volta a campo na próxima quarta-feira, quando encara o Corinthians, na NeoQuímica Arena, a partir das 21h30 (Horário de Brasília).
