Dimitar Berbatov

Mourinho reunited with Drogba as Ballack bows out… but will Dzeko and Jovetic be joining £20m new boy Schurrle at Chelsea?

Jose Mourinho could be forgiven for feeling slightly nostalgic on Wednesday night. In a week when the Special One confirmed his return to Chelsea six years after his acrimonious departure, reminders of heady days gone by surrounded the 50-year-old.

“We Have A Belief That We Can Beat Anybody”: Scholes

Paul Scholes has claimed Manchester United hold a mental edge over their neighbours City and that their FA Cup opponents’ big spending has only spurred United to want to beat them more. Speaking ahead of Saturday’s semi-final at Wembley, Scholes said United’s superior belief is what has helped them maintain a strong record over City despite the millions injected in recent years by their wealthy Arab owners. Referring to the…
