Paris Saint-Germain isn't done spending big money just yet.

The French outfit is ready to bid in excess of £80 million to pry Alexis Sanchez out of Arsenal and pay him up to £400,000 per week, according to Miguel Delaney of The Independent.

Lingard eh? Cool. That was the only questionable position, imo.

Must be injured....

Cristiano Ronaldo's quick reflexes helped him avoid a painful fall as he stepped off Real Madrid's bus ahead of Tuesday's UEFA Super Cup match against Manchester United.

The Portuguese star lost his footing on what appeared to be a towel. Luckily, he avoided a nasty spill, grabbing the rails and calmly strolling off the bus with a slight wince on his face.

which is the advantage of playing Lingard I guess ... can switch between 4-3-3 and 3-4-2-1.

So....do they switch goalkeepers at half-time and then after the game De Gea gets on the 'wrong' Bus?

United's defence is a mess.

Rio and Vidic could dress now adter years of not playing and still be better than these clowns.

Pogba... What to say except - lol
Herrera was decent, Matic was the best player for Man Utd.

Lingard was Lingard. Mikhtiryan was good at moments.

As good as he is, I feel Lukaku is a little selfish. There were a couple of timea he could have passed the ball earlier and created potential chances.

Mourinho, a cowardly tactic as usual.

Real is just on a completely different level. Hats off to them. You can see when they take a bit of a stroll (first then minutes and immediately after the water break), but the way they flip a switch and completely dominate United with ease is impressive. Their passing and moving off the ball is just sublime.

Kudos to Matic. Comes in without any type of preseason and immediately stands out. Quality buy. I also liked Lukaku a lot despite his offside brainfart.

$100 million ladies and gentlemen... A 5 year old could have scored that.

Yes, but now Fellaini is on. Maybe he'll headbutt someone.

nah, simple tap-in. Navas saved a Matic shot and Lukaku just put in the rebound.
