Arsenal "broke the bank" to buy Karim Benzema

Coach Arsene Wenger has just caused a shock with his intention to invest 35 million pounds to recruit Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema in the summer transfer window to strengthen Arsenal's attack.

At the moment, Arsenal owns 3 strikers including Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Danny Welbeck. However, coach Arsene Wenger is still not satisfied with the current force. Currently, "The Professor" wants to buy 1 more striker in the next summer transfer window to strengthen the attack of "The Gunners".

According to the Spanish newspaper Diario Gol, the number one target that coach Wenger is aiming for right now is Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

This decision by coach Wenger surprised many people, because this season, Benzema's performance has seriously declined. Although he is often placed in the starting lineup by coach Karim Benzema, the 30-year-old player has only contributed 9 goals and 11 assists after 39 matches.

Viera is a strong candidate to replace Wenger

Arsenal have fallen out of the Premier League top four and are trying to qualify for the Champions League through the secondary route, winning the Europa League. Many Gunners fans are fed up with the current situation of the team and are looking forward to changes from the club's upper echelons.

Vieira is a potential replacement for Wenger to lead Arsenal.

Specifically, "Professor" Wenger should leave his position after more than 22 years of coaching. To prepare for the future, Arsenal's Board of Directors has also considered a few replacement candidates, notably former player Patrick Vieira, currently leading the New York City Club in the US.

Vieira's return to London will bring satisfaction to fans, because he is a living legend of the club, having won the Premier League three times and the FA Cup three times with Arsenal.

Over the past two years, Patrick Vieira has also gained coaching experience in the US professional league and received high praise from experts.

If Vieira returns to Emirates, there will not be many changes in the coaching staff, because he has worked or played with current assistants such as Steve Bould, Jens Lehmann or Gerry Peyton.

MU "cut" 6 veterans?

Mourinho has added six players to his "black list" who could leave Old Trafford this summer. Paul Pogba is the most notable star among those who are likely to leave this summer, if MU finds a suitable transfer partner.

Martial and Pogba could leave Old Trafford.

According to Sportsmail's assessment, Pogba and Martial's ability to leave Old Trafford is equal (3/5). Both are talented players but rarely show their full potential on the pitch.

Furthermore, the French pair's personalities and playing attitudes are also problematic. When being bullied and benched by coach Mourinho, both Pogba and Martial, through their representatives, spoke out about leaving MU to put pressure on the Board of Directors.

In addition, there are 4 other names who will soon have to say goodbye to the Red Devils: Matteo Darmian and Daley Blind. The defender duo will certainly leave to save their careers, as they have not played regularly this season.

Luke Shaw failed to find his footing.

The same is the case with Luke Shaw. The English winger also had high expectations but did not show progress due to lack of effort in training and competition.

Finally, Fellaini wants to seek challenges in a new environment, due to not reaching an agreement to extend his contract with the Red Devils' Board of Directors.

MU has the first female CEO in history

According to BBC, MU will appoint Collette Roche as the club's chief operating officer (COO). She is the first female chief operating officer in the club's history, and the fifth female leader in Premier League history, after Karren Brady (vice chairman of West Ham), Marina Granovskaia (Chelsea director), Susan Whelan (CEO of Leicester), and Denise Barrett-Baxendale (deputy chief operating officer of Everton).

Despite being titled CEO, Roche actually works under Executive Vice President Ed Woodward – who is considered the CEO of MU.

Aguero unlikely to recover in time for World Cup

On Monday, Man City leaders sent a private jet to take striker Sergio Aguero to Barcelona. Here, the Argentine player underwent surgery to completely treat his knee injury. The person who directly operated on the star of the Manchester team was Dr. Ramon Cugat. According to Aguero's announcement on Twitter yesterday, the surgery was a great success.

With this successful surgery, Aguero will need 1 month to fully recover, which means the season has ended early for El Kun. The 29-year-old striker's goal is to recover in time to participate in the 2018 World Cup with the Argentina national team.

However, Argentina's national team doctor, Mr. Homero D'Agostino, is quite pessimistic about Aguero's case, as he believes that with this injury, the Man City striker will hardly be able to reach 100% fitness and form.

Aguero has been in quite stable form this season, scoring 30 goals in all competitions for Man City, contributing greatly to helping his team win the Premier League championship.
