1 hour ago Chelsea now believe in their process but need to stay humble for title tilt

Board are not demanding a Premier League win but silencing talk will be impossible if Club World Cup winners make fast startOff we go again.

As Ruben Amorim becomes the latest manager to try to build United a shiny new world, Mainoo is a mere substitute. The Portuguese has no place for him in his 3-4-3 formation after a damning assessment that Mainoo lacks legs for the engine room or the pace to operate as one of the two 10s. Continue reading...
