Newcastle United coach Ben Dawson has is confident that the club’s soon to be released Under-23 squad will find new clubs for next season. The Magpies have just a handful of games left in Premier League 2 but a summer revamp awaits at Little Benton after a host of players were told their deals would not be renewed for the 2018/19 campaign. The likes of Curtis Good, Stuart Findlay, Mackenzie Heaney, Macaulay Gillesphey, Tom Heardman, and Kyle Cameron will all leave United at the end of the season. A clutch of youngsters have already had talks with new clubs while others are preparing for trials to secure their next step. However, Dawson does not believe this has sparked any negative reaction from his players, and said: “They have not let it affect them and said: ‘I’m going to get a career elsewhere’. “They have really pushed on. “They have kept their standards high in training and out on the pitch. “You look at some of the performances of … [Read more...] about Newcastle United coach Ben Dawson backs released youngsters to find new clubs

Matthew Bates has taken a swipe at members of the Hartlepool United coaching setup for not stepping up to aid the club’s fight. Many had expected the likes of club hero Ian McGuckin to be present in the dugout at the weekend, especially with Bates light on options after the exit of Craig Harrison and Paul Jenkins on leave. But Bates went it alone against Ebbsfleet - and he was less than pleased with some as yet unnamed members of the Pools setup. “People at the club have been offered the opportunity to step up and haven’t,” said Bates after his relegation-threatened side were beaten 1-0 at Victoria Park. “They have their own reasons. “When the club is in need you need to step up. “There are people here who have been here a lot longer than me who need to step up. “I am a bit angry about it but it is what it is. “I am big and brave enough to take it, though.” With Jenkins unlikely to come back this week, Bates says he is … [Read more...] about Angry Matthew Bates takes remarkable swipe at Hartlepool United coaches who refused to aid club’s fight

Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen believes Alexis Sanchez's move to United would be the right move for both parties as he fits in completely with the kind of player the fans want to see at Old Trafford. The Chilean's move to United is part of a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan going the other way to Arsenal. Negotiations are on the verge of being completed on a swap deal that will make Sanchez the highest-paid player in Premier League history. Manchester City were initially favourites to sign the forward but pulled out of the race following news of Gabriel Jesus' return from injury at an earlier date than expected.

However, they were not prepared to increase their offer for a player who has less than six months remaining on his contract. Sanchez's wage demands were also … [Read more...] about Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen: Alexis Sanchez signing a good deal for Red Devils
