Goosing The Gossip: Carlo Says United Can Have Sanches?

Alvaro Morata made his first Chelsea appearance in a 3-2 defeat against Bayern Munich today at Singapore’s National Stadium.

Rodriguez played his first full match since joining Bayern on a two-year load deal from Real Madrid and the Colombian winger was a constant menace to the Chelsea backline and unlucky not to open his account.

Manchester United are again being linked with Chile worldwide Vidal, who had been a target when Louis van Gaal took charge of the Premier League side in 2014, but Ancelotti said the 30-year-old is not for sale.

The start of the second half had a similar look to the opening 30 minutes as Bayern regained control, with new signing James Rodriguez squandering three chances to put the game to bed.

Antonio Conte has made it clear that he wants more additions this summer following the arrivals of Antonio Rudiger, Willy Caballero, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Alvaro Morata, and Chelsea are set to back the manager to continue their spending spree.

“It’s too early to speak about the impact of Morata”, Conte said, via ESPN FC. “I’m sure that Chelsea will still have a really good season with good defensive organisation”.

In the last five matches of Bayern Munich, they have won three matches and lost two matches in International Champions Cup, German Bundesliga and in friendly matches.

Ribery was instrumental once again as he tore down the left byline – luring out Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the process – before lofting a cross into the six-yard box for captain Thomas Muller to fire home a sizzling first-time volley.

Chelsea starting XI: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Christensen, Cahill; Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Alonso; Willian, Batshuayi, Boga.

“He is a good buy – but it’s right to give him the right time to adapt to our method, our idea of football”, Conte said.

And, speaking to reporters in Singapore, Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has now said they will need to reassess plans for the upcoming season.

Inter Milan are the other team involved in the tournament and they will play Bayern on Thursday before rounding out the competition against Chelsea on Saturday.
