Ballon d’Or winner revealed

-

Eden Hazard took time off thinking of Belgium’s World Cup Semi Final to give his opinion on who he feels will win this year’s World Player of the year.

Tuesday’s game with France represents another opportunity for Hazard to stake a claim for the Ballon d’Or but he senses that even a World Cup win won’t be enough to end Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s grip on the award.

 “It will be for Messi or Cristiano, it is written like that,” he contemplated.

 “I remember a year in which [Franck] Ribery won everything and didn’t get it.”

Shaw wants to win over manager Jose Mourinho.   Shaw has definitely not liked the idea of having to prove himself at Old Trafford, where he has struggled to earn the trust of Mourinho since the Portuguese boss replaced Louis van Gaal in 2016. The 23-year-old only started eight Premier League matches last season, while Shaw was publicly criticised by Mourinho during the 2017-18 campaign with Ashley Young preferred in the left-back role. In the United States for the club's pre-season tour, Shaw is determined to turn around his fortunes in Manchester.  "The next five games are all about fitness, but I want to try and prove to the manager that I can be in his team, not just in these games," Shaw told reporters ahead of Thursday's friendly against Mexican giants America.
