Manchester United transfer rumours: Phil Jagielka makes no sense whatsoever
The Busby Babe — Everton's Phil Jagielka is a fine footballer. And the England international has been a tremendous servant to David Moyes.

Rio and captain Nemanja Vidic might no longer be at the peak of their powers, however, both defenders are still playing at an incredibly high level these days. Rio has just been deserv...

Lack of confidence is not a trait many have associated with the M...
