Rooney is out of shape and looks awful' - Roy Keane SLAMS the Manchester United captain

Roy Keane has slammed Wayne Rooney by claiming that the Manchester United captain “looks awful” and has criticised the striker for slapping Wade Barrett during a “nonsense” WWE wrestling event earlier in November.

Keane’s comments came after United’s goalless draw with PSV in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, which means Louis van Gaal’s side still face the prospect of elimination at the group stage.

Rooney has scored just two goals in his last 10 games for United and Keane insists the England captain is not leading by example.

The Brazilian shone in the 6-1 thrashing of Roma, Iker Casillas produced a clanger against Dynamo Kiev and Thomas Muller broke another record on matchday five

Cech one of the greatest goalkeepers ever, says Wenger

Gunners boss is confident the "super-talented" Czech Republic international can play at the highest level for another four or five years

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has paid tribute to Petr Cech as the goalkeeper prepares to take part in his first north London derby against Tottenham.

The former Chelsea star has conceded only eight goals in 11 Premier League games and kept six clean sheets since arriving at the Emirates.

The Gunners go into Sunday's home derby level on points with leaders Manchester City and Wenger has been delighted with Cech's contribution to that strong start.

"I believe there is no coincidence – it is just class, consistency and quality," said the Frenchman.

"And knowing him well after a few months I am not surprised. He analyses everything.

Why getting battered by Bayern could be GOOD for Arsenal

Arsene Wenger's side slumped to a 5-1 defeat at the Allianz Arena - but the stats show that they could bounce back quickly against Tottenham

Arsenal were the latest team to take a battering from Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena - but could Wednesday's 5-1 defeat actually be a good omen for Arsene Wenger's side ahead of their derby with Tottenham?

We've delved into stats and looked at how teams have fared after being beaten by Bayern Munich.

How free-kick king Willian has shot up the Champions League goal charts

Plenty of Chelsea players have come in for critcism during the club's disastrous start to the new season.

But one player has regularly been singled out for praise, and his set piece prowess has helped Chelsea stay in the hunt for a place in the Champions League last 16.

Willian has scored three free-kicks in the Champions League so far this season - more than any other player.

In fact, only Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, Artem Dzyuba, Thomas Muller and Javier Hernandez have scored more goals after the first four games of the competition than Willian.

The Portuguese has never lost seven games in a single league season as a manager but has tasted defeat six times already in 2015-16 to stand on the brink of another poor milestone

Mourinho on course for ANOTHER unwanted record

It has been a tough start to the season for Jose Mourninho and Chelsea, compounded by successive defeats to West Ham and Liverpool in the Premier League.

The Blues face Stoke City on Saturday, having recently been knocked out of the League Cup by the Potters, and Mourinho will not be present on the bench, after being subject to disciplinary action from the Football Association.

And another defeat for the ailing Stamford Bridge club could bring about another unwanted record for the Portuguese manager.
