Man United not selling Paul Pogba; U23 Vietnam meets U23 Myanmar; Netherlands enters Nations League final

Man United declare not to sell Paul Pogba cheap?
Manchester United chief executive Ed Woodward has today announced that he has no plans to sell Paul Pogba this summer following a series of rumours linking the French star with moves to Juventus and Real Madrid.

However, the funny thing is that Ed Woodward did not use the phrase “not for sale at any price”. He just said “generally” which means he will not sell at a low price, but can sell at a high price!

Woodward went on to highlight the fact that Pogba, who won the World Cup with France last year, still has two years left on his contract at United, and United have made it clear that selling the 26-year-old is not on their agenda.

But when pressed by the press, Ed Woodward revealed that he was willing to consider offers in excess of €150m.

Although Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has made clear his desire to sign the midfielder, a move to the Bernabeu now seems highly unlikely, according to Sport.

U23 Vietnam competes with U23 Myanmar

At the time when the Vietnam National Team caused a stir in Thailand when winning a ticket to the final of the King's Cup 2019, in Vietnam, the U23 players also gathered to play a friendly match with U23 Myanmar.

Tonight, U23 Vietnam will compete with U23 Myanmar at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho). Although the match venue is quite far from Hanoi, it still attracts great attention from fans.

Captain Bui Tien Dung and his teammates will play their best in the match against U23 Myanmar.

It can be seen that although U23 Vietnam is missing some stars in this gathering because they are participating in the national team squad for the King's Cup 2019, they still attract fans. This is also understandable when over the past year, Vietnamese football has transformed dramatically to affirm its name in the regional and continental arena.

Although this was just a friendly match to review the team's strength in preparation for the SEA Games at the end of the year, because of the love and excitement of the fans, assistant Kim Han Yoo's students still had to fight their best to serve the audience.

Defeating England, Netherlands enters Nations League final

Defeating England after 120 minutes of play, the Netherlands won a ticket to the Nations League final.

After witnessing Portugal's victory to qualify for the Nations League final, fans continue to wait for the second name to appear in the final match, the winner of the England vs. Netherlands match.

With several key players having just played in the Champions League final, England took to the field without their strongest squad. Meanwhile, both Dutch players who had just won the Champions League with Liverpool, Van Dijk and Wijnaldum, were present.

The 1-1 draw after 90 minutes forced the two teams to go through 30 minutes of extra time.

With a convincing 3-1 victory despite taking 120 minutes, the Netherlands reached the final of the inaugural UEFA Nations League and will face hosts Portugal in the final match. Meanwhile, England will play Switzerland in the third-place match.

Djokovic faces Thiem in the semi-finals of Roland Garros 2019

The number one seed defeated Alexander Zverev in three sets 7-5, 6-2, 6-2 in the quarterfinals on the evening of June 6.

This result helps Novak Djokovic extend his Grand Slam winning streak to 26 and move closer to his goal of winning the "Nole Slam" for the second time (winning four different Grand Slam tournaments in a row).

The number one seed faced difficulties early on but overcame them by saving three break points in the third and fifth games of the first set. However, Zverev's errors in his service games, especially in the long shots, prevented Djokovic from taking the initiative and the match remained even in the first games.

With the score at 4-4, Djokovic missed two consecutive groundstrokes and the German player did not miss the opportunity to win the game. But in the next game, Zverev could not preserve his service game after continuous rallies with 20 rallies each situation.

The German double faulted in the deciding game, before Djokovic closed out the first set that lasted nearly an hour.

In the second set, Nole regained the "destructive" form he had shown in the previous rounds. He won 13 of the first 14 points with his exquisite backhands. Playing with an unstable mentality, Zverev made many mistakes and was almost helpless against the pressure from the other side of the net. In this losing set, the fifth seed made 11 unforced errors, but in the last game alone, he had four double faults.

Djokovic dominated the match and had two more breaks of serve at the end of the deciding set, before winning the second match point to reach the Roland Garros semi-finals for the first time since the 2016 season./.
