Loic Remy targets more playing time and goals

Chelsea striker, Loic Remy has set sight on assuming a more significant role at the club by playing more regularly and scoring more goals in the forthcoming season.
Remy, who scored seven Premier League goals in 2014-15, told Sky Sports News HQ: “I want to bring everything I can to the team and I just want to do more as I think this season will be more difficult than the previous one.
“So, all the players must be better than last season and I just want to be better, play more and score more.”
The 28yr old was signed from Queens Park Rangers last summer but found consistent playing time hard to come by, with Diego Costa preferred by manager Jose Mourinho as the side’s lone striker.
Remy made six top-flight starts during the campaign and in 2015-16 he faces increased competition following the addition of Radamel Falcao on loan from Monaco this summer.

Manchester United fine Di Maria for going AWOL

Manchester United forward, Angel Di Maria has been handed a two weeks wages fine following his unauthorised absence. The Argentine was expected to meet up with his teammates in on July 25 but he, however, missed his flight and embarked on an unknown trip. United have withheld £360,000 from Di Maria’s pay and are expected to round up negotiations that will see him moving to Ligue 1 side, PSG. 
After United manager Louis van Gaal admitted he did not know why Di Maria had not caught his flight as planned, talks quickly gained pace regarding an exit from Old Trafford just one year after his British-record £59.7 million arrival from Real Madrid.  Di Maria recorded only 32 appearances in all competitions for United in 2014-15 including eight as a substitute, and started just one of the club’s final 10 fixtures.

Wins over Arsenal are not special – Mourinho

Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho said in an interview that victories over Arsenal does not make him extremely happy or special. The manager made the statement ahead of their community shield clash tomorrow at the Wembley. When asked if he takes pride in his record against Wenger, Mourinho replied: “No. It doesn’t matter, Arsenal, the manager, whoever.
“I think [the Community Shield is] in between. It’s more than a friendly, like with Barcelona and PSG [friendlies], but it’s less than a league game. Different motivation. Who knows?” he said when questioned on Wenger’s ability to win. “I’ve never made a special thing about wins over Arsenal. I don’t explode with happiness when I beat them, and I won’t make drama when I lose.”

Mourinho and Wenger have a long-standing rivalry, with the Frenchman yet to beat his counterpart in 13 attempts, while the Blues manager described the 65-year-old as a “specialist in failure” 18 months ago.

“You can ask that every week, but it is the same answer,” Van Gaal said in his news conference. “Maybe you know? I don’t know that either.”

United are locked in talks with PSG about selling the former Real Madrid winger, who became the most expensive player in the history of English football when Van Gaal paid £59.7 million for him in 2014. The French champions’ manager Laurent Blanc again voiced his confidence that a deal will be completed soon.

“You know negotiations are in tandem,” Blanc said in his news conference. “But as United and Paris Saint Germain are both big clubs, that can be difficult. But we feel we are close to the end.”
