Rashford acknowledged his happiness at receiving the honor and his appreciation for his teammates’ recent efforts. Since January 2019, the English player has not received the honor. 

It’s a satisfying feeling. Considering how weakly we started the season, getting four straight victories is pretty impressive. We’ve gotten considerably better at following the manager’s instructions even though our relationship is still relatively fresh. We’re all looking forward to taking the many steps that remain with you, though, together. 

The 24-year-old defeated Phillip Billing, Kevin De Bruyne, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Alex Iwobi, and Jacob Ramsey to take home the prize.

But I think, personally and club-wise, the results in September were good so September was a good month. I’m grateful and thankful for the people voting. I mean I wasn’t sure when I arrived about there being a Player of the Month every month.

Ronaldo is surpassed by Messi in another stat.

The results for Paris Saint-Germain over the past week can mostly be attributed to Lionel Messi, who has had an incredible start to the current campaign.

The Argentine scored the lone goal in PSG’s victory against Lyon. After scoring a goal and an assist in the Paris club’s 3-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League midweek. 

Messi has now scored six goals and sent out eight assists in 11 games this season after both games, and his goal last night helped him past Cristiano Ronaldo in the statistic.

With 672 goals overall, one more than the Manchester United forward, Messi now holds the record for most non-penalty goals scored in a career. 

Not only did Messi break this milestone this week, but he also became the first player to score in 18 straight Champions League seasons with his goal against Maccabi Haifa.

With that goal, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner also surpassed Ronaldo once more in terms of the number of opponents he has scored against in Champions League history, to the tune of 39. 

The fact that Messi is still setting records and playing at his present level at the age of 35 should thrill Argentinians as they prepare for a crucial World Cup for the greatest player in the history of the sport.

With his first career Europa League goal, Cristiano Ronaldo broke his goalless streak and helped Manchester United defeat Sheriff Tiraspol.

Real Sociedad defeated Erik ten Hag’s team at Old Trafford in their Group E opening, but they bounced back by winning all three points in Moldova.

Jadon Sancho calmly completed a superb team move from Christian Eriksen’s reverse pass to give the Red Devils the lead early in the game. 

Sancho, who had been left out of the England team earlier in the day, nearly scored a second goal, but Sheriff captain Stjepan Radeljic expertly blocked his low shot off the line.

However, United did double their lead before halftime thanks to Ronaldo’s penalty, which was given when Patrick Kpozo tripped Diogo Dalot in the penalty area. 

Ronaldo and Sancho

Ronaldo missed a chance to make it 700 club goals when he side-footed over from the edge of the area, and Sheriff was unable to force David de Gea into any significant saves at the other end.

Diego Costa has signed a free transfer with Wolves.

Wolves signed former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa on a season-long loan on Monday. 

Since leaving Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro in January, the 33-year-old has been without a club. 

Wolves were in need of attacking options following the arrival of a new signing. On his debut against Southampton last week, Sasa Kalajdzic suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury. 

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Diego Costa to Wolves, and back to the Premier League,” said Wolves chairman Jeff Shi.

Diego Costa

“A serial winner with a wealth of top-flight experience, Diego will bring something special to our dressing room and on the pitch, and we look forward to his impact at Molineux.”

Wolves have scored three goals in their first six Premier League games and are 14th in the table with six points. 

Costa previously played for Chelsea, where he scored 59 goals in 120 games and led the Blues to two Premier League titles. 

However, his career has been marred by a string of on-field outbursts, and he has struggled to match the heights of his time at Chelsea and his first spell at Atletico Madrid since leaving London in 2017.

Costa returned to Brazil with Atletico Mineiro in August 2021 after spending two and a half years in Madrid, but he struggled to make an impact before his contract was terminated in January.

FG abandons the NPFL’s League Management Company


The Federal Government has condemned its recognition of the League Management Company (LMC) as the Nigeria Professional Football League’s operator (NPFL).

Following the federal government’s declaration of the Shehu Dikko-led League Management Company (LMC) as an illegal body, banning it with immediate effect, a crisis appears to be brewing in Nigerian football. 

The federal government also directed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to immediately revoke LMC’s operational license and form an Interim Management Committee (IMC) to oversee the operation of the Nigerian elite league. 

The statement, signed by Ismaila Abubakar, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youth and Sports Development, went on to say that the League should be run by the current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the LMC until a proper Professional League Board is formed in accordance with the NFF Statutes. This decision was made due to the obvious anomaly (which is contrary to our football statutes or the laws of the land) in which a private company is given the mandate to manage or run the league indefinitely, without the full involvement and leadership of the clubs, and without any process to monitor the game’s progress and development. 

“As a result of the foregoing, and in order to save our domestic football from total collapse, the board of the LMC and the LMC as a body will no longer be recognized by the Federal Government as the operator of the Nigerian Professional Football League,” the FG said.

Issuing further order, the federal government noted that; “to avert further chaos in our domestic football, the NFF is advised to immediately withdraw the Licence given to the LMC and, in the meantime, set up an IMC, to include the current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the LMC to oversee the affairs of the League until a proper Professional League Board is constituted in accordance with the Statutes of the NFF.”
