Salah returns to Stamford Bridge for the first time
Stamford Bridge is both Mohamed Salah's old home and the place where he endured the most forgettable period of his career. Tonight, the Egyptian striker will return to his old place as the world's top player.

From a promising young player, the Egyptian player shone for Basel in the Champions League. However, when he moved to Stamford Bridge, he was treated by coach Mourinho as a young player who had just joined the first team, rather than a solution that could help Chelsea create a breakthrough in attack. Coach Mourinho's view at that time was that Salah needed to learn before being given a starting position.
Salah has now reached the top ranks of the world. He returns to Stamford Bridge having just been voted the 2017/18 Premier League Player of the Year by the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) and Football Writers' Association (FWA). Not only that, Salah is now a strong candidate for the Ballon d'Or award.
In the next 90 minutes, Salah will be in a life-or-death battle with Chelsea. He will not only be playing to secure Liverpool's place in the Champions League next season, but also needs to increase his goal tally to compete with Lionel Messi in the race for the Golden Boot award.

Neymar is targeted to be the "new leader" of the Red Devils
Source Don Balon reported hot news, Mourinho is targeting Neymar as the "new leader" of MU.

| Mourinho aims for Neymar to be the new leader of MU. |
The former Barca striker is rumored to leave PSG this summer, after just one season arriving for an "unimaginable" price of nearly 200 million pounds.
Real Madrid emerged as a strong candidate, regularly keeping in touch with Neymar, specifically his agent - his father. However, Neymar is now said to be open to MU, wanting to work with coach Mourinho.
The reason, the Royal team was not decisive about the time of signing the contract, because initially very determined but Ronaldo in 2018 was still unmatched, completely different from the first few months of the season "goal drought".
Therefore, Real Madrid wants Neymar to wait until next summer. But the striker himself does not want to continue playing in Paris. He wants to return to La Liga, or the exciting Premier League.
And according to the above source, Mourinho wants to take advantage of this good opportunity, put all his strength and money into bringing PSG's number 10 to Old Trafford. He aims for him to be the "new leader" for the Red Devils.
With Martial likely to leave, and Rashford not guaranteed despite the club offering a new contract, MU must strengthen their attack. Neymar is the ideal name, both in terms of commercial value and on the pitch. However, the Red Devils would be the next "crazy" name to spend a lot of money to bring in a player who is not highly praised for his discipline.
MU must fire Mourinho or kick out the "big guys"
According to former MU player Gary Neville, Jose Mourinho deserves to be fired after the Red Devils' humiliating defeat to Brighton.

| MU had a terrible match against Brighton and according to Gary Neville, either Mourinho or some "big guys" were fired. |
The reason is that a MU team that plays "terribly" and "terribly" shows that if the coach doesn't listen to the players, the general will have to leave.
However, commenting on Sky Sports, this legend said that MU will continue to let Mourinho stay in his position, so instead some "big guys" will be kicked out.
MU had a disjointed match at Brighton, completely different from the spirit of victory over Arsenal 2-1 in the previous round. If De Gea did not play well, Mourinho and his team would not have lost by just 1 goal.
According to Neville, what happened on the field shows that some players no longer listen to Mourinho.
Neville said: "When you can't get the message across to your players, either the coach or the player has to go. At this time, MU chose Mourinho, so he will "scratch" the squad, making a series of changes in the dressing room."
