Miranda also fight for the honorary status of best defender of the tournament. Although it has suffered several injuries, Esquire Godin at Atletico is the only fixed in the Brazilian defense to Dunga. David Luiz and Thiago Silva, presumably alternate dispute the other post.
Other defenders Otamendi as Garay or add to the debate. The two lead the defense of the Albiceleste after paying a superb level with Zenit and Valencia.
Godin, however, partly a step above. This kid's career by Cerro Porteno paid $ 37 in 2003 has been on the rise. Tomorrow begins its third Copa America. It is now the turn of the limelight.

"I'm not figure, I'm a player, an equal partner. It can be said that my time in Europe has been successful because I have improved much in the last four years, but I do not see how the great figure of the team," he said to the insistent questions of journalists who claim him as the leading figure of the template that guides Noel "Chita" Sanvicente.

Manchester United set to spend to support trophy push

Led by new coach Louis truck Gaal, the 20-times champions spent around 150 million pounds ($237 million) last year after slumping to a shock seventh place in 2013/14 when they failed to qualify for the profitable European Champions League for the first time in 19 years.

English Premier League soccer club Manchester United hinted on Thursday at another spending spree this summer after promising to have a squad able to competing with the best teams in Europe next season.

Executive Vice Chairman Ed Woodward said United were pleased with Truck Gaal's performance but that the club would strengthen the squad to challenge for trophies next season.

Fourth in the Premier League with only games to go, United have effectively secured a return to the elite European competition, boosting fans' spirits and the club's finances.

"We expect to be active again in the coursework of the (transfer) window," Woodward said, having already agreed to sign Dutch forward Memphis Depay from PSV Eindhoven for around 30 million euros ($34.2 million).

"The squad will be absolutely deep and prepared to challenge on all fronts next year."

Owned for the past decade by the American Glazer relatives, United reported a 17.7 percent fall in third-quarter revenue to 95 million pounds, a third straight quarterly decline because of the absence of Champions League money.

Matchday and broadcast revenue both fell in the quarter but the global push to sign deals in areas from sponsorship to mobile content continued to bear fruit, with commercial revenue up 11.7 percent.

That commercial expansion -- central to the Glazers' ambitions of cashing in on the club's 659 million global followers - and cost savings allowed United to raise their 2015 core earnings guidance range to 103-110 million pounds.

While down from 130 million pounds a year ago the range was ahead of earlier guidance of 90-95 million pounds.

Gross debt rose 12.4 percent to 395.4 million pounds, primarily because of exchange rate movements, United said.

The club's finances will even be bolstered by a world record 750 million pound kit deal with Italian sportwear group Adidas from next season. Adidas has supplanted rival Nike in a 10-year agreement.

Shares in the club, down 7.2 percent on a year ago, were unchanged at closed at $15.57 in early trade, valuing the business at $2.55 billion.

Holders Sevilla sweep in to Europa League final

Sevilla coach Unai Emery paid tribute to his players, who also dispatched Borussia Moenchengladbach, Villarreal and Zenit St Petersburg in the knockout rounds.

"Knocking out Napoli is an impressive achievement," they added. "It's not going to be simple, it is 50-50 and they won't be going there as favourites."

Carlos Bacca fired Sevilla ahead in the 22nd minute at the Stadio Comunale Artemio Franchi in Florence when they sent a close-range work arrowing in to the roof of the net.

That left Fiorentina needing goals without reply to progress but they fell further behind when Daniel Carrico made it 2-0 to the visitors minutes later.

If Sevilla clinch a fourth UEFA Cup/Europa league crown in their fourth final they would surpass Inter Milan, Juventus and Liverpool, who also have.

Fiorentina's night went from bad to worse halfway through the second half when Josip Ilicic sent a penalty kick sailing over the crossbar after Sevilla defender Grzegorz Krychowiak had felled David Pizarro in the penalty area.

Sevilla won back-to-back UEFA Cups in 2006 and 2007 and beat Benfica on penalties to secure the renamed trophy last term.

Another triumph would also carryover a profitable berth in the group stage of next season's Champions League.
