Manchester United coach Solskjaer confirms Sergio Romero, Marcos Rojo will leave

Manchesters Untied coach Solskjaer has confirmed that both Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo will be leaving the club.

The contracts of the two Argentine players will not be renewed with both deals ending this summer. Rojo, who spent part of last season on loan has been linked with Boca Juniors as has Sergio Romero. United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has stated that they are open to listen to offers for both players. Here’s what he had to say:

“Both of them have contracts until the summer and they’re not going to be extended.

“So, we’re looking for them to find clubs, Marcos has been given time to go home, so he’s still in Argentina, Sergio has been back home as well to see his family but he’s back in England now.

“They’re professionals, they’re working hard and they’re ready if they are called in for us, they will be ready. Of course, Marcos will have to travel and do the quarantine before.”

Marcos Rojo joined the club back in 2014 after the World Cup while Sergio Romero joined him a year later.

Boca Juniors held to scoreless draw vs. Santos in first leg Copa Libertadores semi final

Boca Juniors were held to a 0-0 draw vs. Santos in their first leg of the semi finals in the Copa Libertadores.

It was a match to forget, with very little clear cut chances for both sides but Boca could consider themselves a bit lucky. Late in the second half, Izquierdos appeared to have fouled Marinho in the penalty area but after reviewing with VAR, the referee decided not to call the penalty.

There will be all to play for next week in the second leg in Brazil as Boca will want to qualify for the final. As it stands, things look very difficult for an all Argentine final after River’s 3-0 loss to Palmeiras on Tuesday.

Lionel Messi scores twice in FC Barcelona 3-2 win vs. Athletic Bilbao

Lionel Messi scored twice for Barcelona in their 3-2 win vs. Athletic Bilbao.

Messi managed two goals and was involved in the third for Barcelona as they slowly continue to climb in the league. The first goal saw Messi send in a lovely cross over to Frenkie de Jong who would pull it back to Pedri for the goal to draw Barcelona level.

The second goal was a lovely one-two between Pedri and Messi. The Argentine would get the ball, pass it to Pedri as Pedri would backheel it back to Messi who would score to give Barcelona the 2-1 lead. However, Messi wasn’t done just yet.

Barcelona would take the lead and through a second Messi goal, arguably better than his first. Griezmann would play a pass into the penalty area as Messi’s shot would hit the crossbar and go in to give Barcelona the win.

In addition to his two goals, Messi also hit the post twice. He is now on nine goals and four assists in 16 matches with 12 goals in 20 matches including the Champions League.
