United have scored 8 goals and conceded 2 in the 2 games under Solskjaer. Under their new manager, they registered 33 shots, with 19 of them on target and had an average of 70% possession. They attempted a total of 1274 passes, with 85% accuracy in the two games. Manchester United’s playing style in those games was entirely different from the flaccid ways of Jose Mourinho and this has brightened the mood at Old Trafford....

With the in-ring return of Triple H and the Shield, NXT had to do something special in order to keep the pace. The result we received was War Games, a match made popular by WCW which involves multiple men/teams in the ring at one time, all vying for supremacy. Did they do enough to impress us on a weekend that will also see an ROH show and the start of NJPW’s world tag league?...

Drew McIntyre blamed MVP for the attack by Mace and T-Bar last week. However, MVP clarified that the two men have nothing to do with The Hurt Business. Are Mace and T-Bar just looking to make a name for themselves after splitting from RETRIBUTION? Also, who will become the #1 contender to the RAW Tag Team Championships? KUSHIDA began his WWE NXT Cruiserweight Championship reign with an Open Challenge. He defeated Oney Lorcan to show that he’s a fighting champion....

Chris Jericho, for example, has had multiple personas throughout his time in ECW, WCW, WWE and NJPW, while the likes of The Big Show and Kane are two of the longest-serving people in WWE right now thanks to their ever-evolving characters. We’ve seen multiple gimmick changes on WWE television during the first half of 2018, from Baron Corbin and Bray Wyatt to Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel, and we reckon it’s about time a few more main-roster Superstars were given the chance to mix up their personalities a bit....

UFC fights over the years have made fans witness all kinds of unsettling style statements. Be it long, unkempt hair blinding a fighter inside the octagon or ugly hair color that is so unnerving that it ends up distracting the opponent, the UFC has had its fair share of bad haircuts. On that note, let’s take a look at some of the worst haircuts ever seen in the UFC....

The night of October 6th, 2019, which is when the aforementioned event will take place, is beyond the shadow of a doubt the most important night of Wyatt’s career. Although the talented Superstar has already carved out a multifaceted career for himself; the introduction of The Fiend to the WWE Universe, has resulted in his popularity skyrocketing in recent times! His Hell in a Cell matchup against Rollins will most likely see “The Fiend” become the new WWE Universal Champion, and although nothing’s guaranteed in the world of sports-entertainment, the safe bet would be Wyatt defeating The Architect in “hell” (*read in The Fiend’s voice)....

Kurt Angle’s announcement of his Wrestlemania opponent to be Baron Corbin was quite underwhelming. Considering his stature in the business, Corbin is a major step-down for his retirement match when there were rumors of him facing either of John Cena and the Undertaker. Fans are hopeful that somehow WWE swerves us all and replace Baron Corbin. Leaving Corbin aside, Angle started his farewell tour with Apollo Crews giving him some relevant TV time and then on the successive week, he gave a dream match on free TV with Chad Gable....

The former NXT Superstar debuted on the blue brand earlier this year as Shinsuke Nakamura’s “hype man.” Boogs, along with his electric guitar and amps, performs Nakamura’s entrance theme every single week on SmackDown. So far, their pairing has proved to be incredibly beneficial for the King of Strong Style. Since joining forces, Nakamura has defeated Baron Corbin to become WWE’s new ‘King.’ But despite being an entertaining presence, Rick Boogs can’t stay on the outside of the ring forever....

Nothing can touch these spectacles and for years on end, they’ve been the showcase events for Vince McMahon’s company. However, what would happen if we introduced a fifth party into the fold? Everyone always tends to refer to the other PPVs of the year as “B shows”, but why can’t we throw one of those events a bone and promote them to being an “A show”? We’re certainly in an era of sports entertainment where things are always evolving, so there’s no better time in which to make this happen....

While that might have sounded like a ridiculous question a month or so ago, all that changed when Nia Jax injured her during an episode of Monday Night Raw. Lynch hasn’t competed since the incident and had even been off television for a few weeks, which severely hurt her otherwise spectacular title reign. Follow Sportskeeda for all the latest Sports news, updates, events, schedules and stats. With that being said and the company seemingly eager to build Asuka back up, it seems like Becky Lynch is set to drop the title at the upcoming pay per view....

This is pretty massive, and the wrestling world has already blown up just thinking about what this could mean for the future of AEW and IMPACT Wrestling. Dream matches, special encounters, bringing divisions together. A lot can happen. Though we’d love to dive into all the dream matches (FTR vs. The North, please) why don’t we dial it back a bit. No need to look too far into the future, as this Tuesday will be more than enough to get the ball rolling....

While Manchester City are on the cusp of their third Premier League title in four years, the race for the European places is well and truly on. Third-placed Leicester City are separated by only seven points from eight-placed Everton. Five players from relegation-threatened Premier League teams who could move on in the summer: At the other end of the Premier League table, Sheffield United have already gone down, while things are not looking great for Fulham and West Brom either....

There is now a massive goal and leadership gap in Turin following Ronaldo’s departure. The Portuguese forward broke the record for the fastest player to reach 100 goals for the club. He scored an impressive 101 goals in just 131 appearances for the Old Lady of Turin. The absence of these goals has seen Juventus drop back down shockingly in the Serie A standings. The Turin-based club have gone from guaranteed winners to a team struggling to qualify for the Champions League since his departure....

This season was no different despite the departure of Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, the Los Blancos were expected to still challenge for titles. They had a bad start to the campaign, but Solari somehow managed to steady the ship for them. They came close to Barcelona in LaLiga, were in the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey and had 2-1 advantage over Ajax in the round of 16 of the Champions League....

However, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t carrying a handful of players that – no offence intended – are lucky to still be able to pull on the famous red shirt of Liverpool. Whether it’s down to injuries, a playing style that simply doesn’t fit the system that Klopp deploys, or other issues, the following five players should probably be thankful every time they run out on the pitch at Anfield....

Mata’s replacement Henrikh Mkhitaryan was 7 centimetres taller and did not participate in any aerial duel for the remainder of the game which United won 2-1. Nonetheless, Mata joins a short but unique list of players who have entered a professional football match as substitutes and found themselves substituted off before full time. #5 Aaron Lennon (England and Tottenham Hotspur) Match: England vs Portugal Tournament: FIFA World Cup 2006 Quarterfinal...

Barcelona has a few top targets for the summer such as Antoine Griezmann and Hector Bellerin. On the other hand, some players from the Barcelona squad have not been able to live up to their expectations, for instance, Andre Gomes and Arda Turan. Before the team can spend heavily in the summer, there are some players who are expected to leave Camp Nou. Once the price is right, they may possibly be packing their bags this summer....

The former United striker has brought back free-flowing, attacking football to Old Trafford, which has unlocked the real potential of many, including Paul Pogba, who is finally showing why Manchester United splashed a whooping £89 million to re-sign him from Juventus. The Frenchman’s brilliance is getting the best out of Marcus Rashford as well, as the young English sensation is flourishing under Olé Gunnar Solskjaer in a more central role....

That particularly holds true at Wimbledon, given that most of the Next Gen are yet to find their footing on grass. In addition, Rafael Nadal has withdrawn and Roger Federer is in poor form, thus making the odds even more lopsided. Many experts are claiming that Novak Djokovic is the overwhelming favorite to lift his sixth Wimbledon trophy this year. And given the Serb’s record at SW19 in recent times - he has won four of the last six titles there - it would take a brave person to bet against him....

For various reasons – stylistic struggles, issues fitting into the way of life in England, or distrust from their manager at the time – the following five players flopped in the Premier League, only to go on to flourish elsewhere in the world. 1. Memphis Depay Dutch forward Memphis Depay joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2015 for a hefty fee of £25m, and the then-21 year old came to Old Trafford with a lot of hype....
