ROONEY TO MISS ARSENAL'S CLASH

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho could start captain Wayne Rooney (both pictured) from the bench against Arsenal this weekend.

Jose Mourinho could start Wayne Rooney from the bench in this weekend’s Premier League clash with Arsenal, despite Zlatan Ibrahimovic being unavailable through suspension. 
Ibrahimovic is out of the Arsenal game after picking up a yellow card in their win over Swansea City before the international break, but that notwithstanding, Mourinho is set to overlook Rooney, despite being the most senior and experienced forward available.
As per the report, Marcus Rashford is understood to be Mourinho’s preferred replacement, which leaves captain Rooney facing the prospect of another game on the bench.
Rooney, 31, has started just one of United’s last six Premier League games and is set to face more disappointment with Mourinho ready to opt for pace and youth up front.
The Red Devils’ skipper pulled out of England’s squad to face Spain with what was deemed a ‘minor knee injury’ but then found himself embroiled in allegations of an all-night drinking session.
Besides Ibrahimovic, Mourinho could also be without Antonio Valencia, while Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling and potentially Luke Shaw and Marouane Fellaini, are going to miss out.
It will be the first time Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will face Mourinho since the latter’s appointment as the Manchester United manager.

Godin: I dream of lifting the cup

Source: FIFA.com Diego Godin has revealed he cannot stop thinking about the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ and expressed his desire to become the first Uruguayan in 68 years to lift the Trophy. Jules Rimet handed it to Obdulio Varela – albeit in bizarre circumstances – at the Maracana in 1950, and though  La Celeste reached the semi-finals on three occasions thereafter, they have never gone further, losing to Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1970, and the Netherlands in 2010. Eight teams have shorter odds of winning Russia 2018 than Uruguay, but that does not stop the Atletico Madrid centre-back from dreaming big. “There isn’t a day goes by that I stop thinking about the World Cup,” Godin told  Radio Rincón . “I dream of lifting the Trophy – of course, I do. “We qualified for the World Cup well. The important thing is that no-one gets injured, that everyone is right physically.”Godin believes the secret to Uruguay’s prosperity under Oscar Tabarez – t...
