News about Owen Hargreaves

Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves questioned why Jadon Sancho struggled at Manchester United after he delivered a superb performance for Borussia Dortmund against Paris Saint-Germain. Niclas Fullkrug's goal was the difference at the Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday night in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final and Dortmund will take a 1-0 lead to the Parc des Princes next week. Sancho was a constant thorn in PSG's side and looked a completely different player from the one who returned to Germany on loan in January after being exiled from United's first-team following a high-profile dispute with Erik ten Hag.

Owen Hargreaves has sensationally compared Arsenal's current squad under Mikel Arteta to Manchester United's 2008 Champions League winning team under Sir Alex Ferguson. The Gunners can put one-foot in the Champions League's last-four by beating Thomas Tuchel 's side in London and Hargreaves is convinced they have a strong chance of doing so.

As their former boss battles terminal cancer, England's 'Golden Generation' has paid their respect to Sven-Goran Eriksson. Since being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the 76-year-old said in February that he had 'at the best a year to live.' England legends from Eriksson's era pay tribute to the Swede in a series of emotional video messages as part of Channel 4's exclusive interview.

After the midfielder struck twice in AC Milan's Europa League play-off match against Rennes on Thursday evening, Owen Hargreaves applauded Ruben Loftus-Cheek's decision to leave Chelsea. The 28-year-old Blues academy graduate left his boyhood club as a result of Stamford Bridge's summer exodus, which saw a number of former first-team starters sell to offset the club's mammoth transfer window investment. Loftus-Cheek has settled in Milan and has emerged as a regular fixture under Stefano Pioli, alongside Olivier Giroud, Christian Pulisic, and Fikayo Tomori.

Owen Hargreaves and Rio Ferdinand were relegated to Bayern Munich after losing 1-0 to Lazio in the first leg of the Champions League on Wednesday evening. After losing to Bayer Leverkusen, Thomas Tuchel's side was desperate for a bounce back to win the Bundesliga on Saturday night, they were left five points adrift of the top spot in the Bundesliga. The visitors were unable to break through the hosts at the Stadio Olimpico and were unable to reduce the deficit after Dayot Upamecano's foul on Gustav Isaksen, who was frightfully struck by Ciro Immobile.

CHRIS WHEELER: Lightning flashed overhead and the letters on the banner among the Galatasaray ultras - are there any other kind? Were strewn with blood. It's back, and your nightmare is back. It seemed that it was like a scene from a horror film. Mind you, this isn't a good one, but it's still a horror film. It seemed that Manchester United's nightmare had returned to Manchester United as the worst of the rain had begun to fall and the lightning had stopped flashing.

Pep Guardiola's half-time tactics during Man City's victory over RB Leipzig on Tuesday night have been lauded by Owen Hargreaves after the Cityzens overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat the Bundesliga team 3-2. The Premier League outfit was stunned by their opponents in the first half, with Lois Openda relying on two defensive mistakes from Manuel Akanji and Ruben Dias to score twice in 33 minutes. It was a frustrating first 45 minutes, with City looking shaky at the back while the home team failed to convert their hopes. Guardiola opted to bring Nathan Ake, Jeremy Doku, and Julian Alvarez, who admitted after halftime that he reformed how his team pressed on their opponents.

Owen Hargreaves was left speechless as Man United Andre Onana gifted Bayern Munich with the first goal in their Champions League group stage match. In the first half of Man United's tie at the Allianz Arena, Leroy Sane's weak attempt was allowed to fall through his grasp. Man United's mistake was compounded by Onana's inability until halftime.

For the first time this evening, TNT will have live coverage of the Champions League group stage.

The match between Rochdale and Ebbsfleet this evening was the first live football game televised by TNT Sports. On Saturday tea-time, Crown Oil Arena's National League meeting kicks-off the channel's live broadcast as they begin to cover the division for the new season. TNT's development came after Warner Brothers Discovery, who also owns Eurosport, bought BT Sport in a £650 million contract. The channel will continue to air all of the same big name shows BT Sport continues to air including the Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League. Although the final product is similar to that seen from BT Sport, there has been a rash of on-screen changes for TNT Sport's debut.

TNT Sports has soared ahead of the new season with an all-female hosting staff, as well as keeping up with the top analyst picks from BT Sports.

United crumbled in the closing stages after taking a 2-0 lead at Old Trafford after a Marcel Sabitzer brace, with own goals from Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia leveling the match. They had a difficult challenge when they visited the six-time champions in Seville, and Erik ten Hag's team was largely outplayed, losing by a 3-0 loss as a result of David de Gea's inexperience. The quarter final had already been knocked out for Hargreaves, who won European trophies with both United and Bayern Munich.

Martinez of Man United was fired by in the 86th minute of a 2-2 draw against Sevilla on Thursday evening. Gonzalo Montiel and Marcos Acuna, a Spanish footballer, and his World Cup teammates, were able to carry him off the field in a sporting gesture that earned warm applause from the Old Trafford crowd. Erik ten Hag, the match's head coach, confirmed it was not an Achilles injury, adding: "It wasn't the Achilles." I'm not sure what city it is. I can't give the reason because I can't.' Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves were among the mourners on BT Sport to discuss the tragic event.

After Manchester City's spectacular defensive performance in their 3-0 victory over Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, Owen Hargreaves thinks the team has the tools to progress to the Champions League. City was led by Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and Erling Haaland, who all got on the scoresheet to put City up a commanding advantage going into next week's second leg in Munich. However, Pep Guardiola's guys were unemployed for lengthy stretches of time and were compelled to remain firm at the back. John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, and Nathan Ake were all outstanding performers, but Ederson was also on alert on several occasions to hold out former City forward Leroy Sane.

Owen Hargreaves was so awed by Manchester City's Champions League thrashing of RB Leipzig on Tuesday evening that he had to say that no remaining squad 'can come near' Pep Guardiola's team.

After his performance against Real Betis in Thursday's Europa League match, Bruno Fernandes has been lauded by pundits. United defeated Old Trafford 4-1, with the midfielder scoring one goal and assisting another. It was the perfect reaction to Fernandes' 7-0 loss to Liverpool over the weekend, after which Fernandes was strongly chastised.

After Facundo Pellistri's eye-catching appearance against Real Betis on Thursday, both Manchester United forward Facundo Pellistri and Owen Hargreaves have been asked for more game time by Erik ten Hag. Pellistri hasn't made a single start for United this season, but he was brought on in the 81st minute at Old Trafford to replace Antony with the Red Devils looking for their fourth goal. They were able to get it two minutes after he arrived, with Uruguayan Hugo playing his part in the goal until Wout Weghorst applied the finishing touch.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has made no changes to the squad that had been humiliated by Liverpool for the Europa League match against Real Betis on Tuesday. Due to United's woeful performance in the 7-0 loss to their biggest rivals on Sunday, there were bound to make changes. However, the Dutchman has the opportunity to redeem themselves at Old Trafford tonight.

In Germany, the French side lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich, a 3-0 aggregate score, as the French side fell short of their expectations once more. The club has never won the Champions League, but it has invested hundreds of millions of pounds in an attempt to do so. In eight of the last ten years, they have won Ligue 1 in eight of the last ten years, but have frequently failed on the European stage. Following Christophe Galtier's loss, the Hargreaves insist the team must restart with younger, homegrown players in their squad.

After the Chelsea star's vital penalty re-take, Owen Hargreaves discussed Kai Havertz's 'courage and composure.' The German international initially missed the post but was able to take the penalty again after a Borussia Dortmund player encroached on the box and cleared the ball. Havertz made the second attempt in the same spot and shot it past the visiting keeper.

Rio Ferdinand slammed Liverpool's chances of retaining Jude Bellingham after their torrid season so far, though his former teammate Owen Hargreaves predicted that the youngster would be enticed by a 'project.' Bellingham's future was debated on Wednesday evening by the BT pundits, with most of Europe's top clubs vying for the youngster's signature following his meteoric rise to Borussia Dortmund. And although Liverpool had been front-runners for a long time, Ferdinand and Hargreaves disagreed over whether they were still a viable option for the 19-year-old.

In a discussion over which rising talent is the more valuable player, Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves sided with Kylian Mbappe over Erling Haaland. Fans have lately turned to the next two superstars who will almost certainly rule the game, with the Lionel Messi vs. Cristiano Ronaldo debate dominating football's landscape for well over a decade. The two 'extra' players are unable to distinguish, but the pundits explained why they preferred Mbappe during BT Sport's coverage of Man City's draw with RB Leipzig.

According to Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves, Chelsea should bring Romelu Lukaku back from Inter Milan and'give him a chance' under new head coach Graham Potter next season. Lukaku was sent out on loan to Inter last summer after a rough first season back at Stamford Bridge last year. The Belgian striker scored eight goals in 26 Premier League appearances, but also sparked a lot of controversies by giving Sky Italia a bombshell interview in which he smuggled with his boss, while flirting with a potential return to Inter.

Owen Hargreaves, a former Manchester City midfielder, expressed disappointment after his team's second half match against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, which prompted Pep Guardiola's annoyance. Guardiola, the city's Spanish emperor, became aggravated by his outspoken figure in the away dugout at the Red Bull Arena, reserving his academic discipline and throwing in the customary theatrical response at times.
