USMNT's Balogun scores, suffers injury for Monaco

United States striker Folarin Balogun scored for the third game in a row then left the pitch injured as Monaco seized command of the French league by winning at Rennes 2-1 on Saturday. Balogun netted the winner in the 22nd minute but was forced off after the hour mark with an apparent shoulder injury. It was unclear whether he would be able to join Mauricio Pochettino's U.S. squad ahead of matches against Panama and Mexico . Unbeaten Monaco suffered throughout the second half but kept its small advantage intact to move to the top of the table. Lagging three points behind, Paris Saint-Germain can close the gap in Nice on Sunday. Folarin Balogun will now be a doubt to join up with Mauricio Pochettino's first USMNT squad. JEAN-FRANCOIS MONIER/AFP via Getty Images Thilo Kehrer put the visitors in front in the sixth minute and Ludovic Blas leveled for Rennes just five minutes later. Balogun was picked out by Eliesse Ben Seghir with a low pass on the edge of the box. He qui...

Van Nistelrooy 'will be offered interim Man Utd job' but 'has reservations'

SunSport's DAVE KIDD says Erik ten Hag's time at Man Utd is up… and explains what's wrong with all the potential candidates to replace him. THIS is a mid-table squad at an underachieving club, with a lot of unwanted players on big money. And Ratcliffe is an instinctive cost-cutter who may not pay top dollar to the next manager. If this club wasn’t called ‘Manchester United’, it wouldn’t be an especially desirable job. The good news for United is that their new sporting director, Dan Ashworth, is a very decent judge of a manager. He has been instrumental in three previous managerial appointments — Gareth Southgate for England, Graham Potter for Brighton and Eddie Howe for Newcastle. None were wildly popular at the time, all were conspicuous successes. Interestingly, Ashworth’s No 1 choice for the Newcastle job was Unai Emery, who turned him down to stay at Villarreal but has since proved that judgment right by excelling at Aston Villa. Emery may well deliver the coup de gra...
