Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says it was “unacceptable” of Marcus Rashford to go a nightclub party after last weekend’s embarrassing derby defeat to Manchester City.

The homegrown talent has managed just one goal for the misfiring Red Devils during a poor start to the season on both an individual and collective level.

Rashford has looked a far cry from the player that plundered 30 goals for United last term and his off-field decision-making came into question after last Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to City.

Yerson Mosquera is expected to miss the rest of the 2024-25 season for Wolves with a serious knee injury.

The defender was stretchered off in the 82nd minute of their 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa after twisting his knee following a challenge from Morgan Rodgers.

Mosquera has since undergone scans, with Wolves revealing that he has suffered injuries to the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

Wolves head of high performance, Phil Hayward, said in a statement: We will be visiting specialists in the coming days to finalise the plan for surgery; this will take place in the next two weeks.

Clearly, there is a long recovery period ahead for Yerson, and the club will be providing all the support he needs to ensure a successful…

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has agreed to become Tottenham’s new manager on a two-year contract, according to reports.

The 57-year-old told Celtic principal shareholder Dermot Desmond on Saturday night of his decision to leave the Glasgow club and has now agreed a deal in principle with Spurs, with the option to extend.

Former Australia head coach Postecoglou admitted on Saturday, after Celtic’s Scottish FA Cup final win over Inverness had secured them the domestic treble, that his celebrations would soon be disrupted.

Neither club have commented but reports claim an announcement will be made when the finer details of the contract have been finalised.

Tottenham have been searching for a permanent new manager since sacking Antonio Conte in March, with…

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in 2021, when the team was coached by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, after nine years with Real Madrid and three with Juventus.

However, things didn t go too well for the Portuguese superstar during his second spell at Old Trafford, and looking back on those days, Solskjaer admits bringing Ronaldo back may have been a mistake.

Maybe other players felt less important

Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes that in hindsight, signing Cristiano Ronaldo may have been a mistake during his time at the club

Best odds: 8/13

Bookmaker:

Dynamo Kiev will face Partizan at the NSK Olimpijs kyj on Tuesday in the first leg of their second-round qualifying matchup for the Champions League.

Dynamo Kyiv

Dynamo Kiev narrowly missed out on their first Ukrainian Premier League title since the 2020/21 season, finishing just two points behind champions Shakhtar Donetsk. This second-place finish granted the Blue and Whites a spot in the league path of the revamped Champions League qualifying phase, starting in the second round against Partizan.

This matchup marks Dynamo Kiev s first attempt at Champio…

Cardiff s Millennium Stadium will host the UEFA Champions League final in 2017, while the same year s Europa League final will take place at Stockholm s Friends Arena.

UEFA confirmed the decisions at its Executive Committee meeting in Prague on Tuesday.

Wales will therefore play host to the Champions League final for the first time, although the Cardiff City Stadium did previously serve as the venue for last year s UEFA Super Cup between Real Madrid and Sevilla.

The news was welcomed by Wales and Real star Gareth Bale, who said: These are exciting times for Welsh football.

I know how passionate the Welsh football fans are so it’s great the UEFA Champions League Final is coming to my home city of Cardiff.

I loved playing in the UEFA …

With the group stage of Euro 2020 now over, we can get down to the important business: arguing over who have been the best players until now.

The first three matchdays produced some enthralling spectacles, a handful of shocks and one or two rather forgettable encounters of which there is no need to speak any more.

We have seen some rather obvious star turns, such as a certain Portugal striker equalling the record for international goals in men s football, while other standout performers have flown a little more under the radar.

Here, using Opta data for added insight, Stats Perform presents the Euro 2020 team of the group stage. Please do read on for a few explanations before starting on those angry comments

Wales battle…

The Premier League is set to return next month and ahead of that moment, we thought it d be a good idea to run through a few early doors predictions that we ve got for the campaign ahead specifically, down the bottom end of the table.

Thanks to our friends at , there s a full list of relegation odds currently available with the following five clubs being deemed the most likely to slip through the trap door and into the Championship.

Bournemouth 8/15

The Cherries were fairly solid in bouncing back up to the Premier League but there s a part of us that thinks they aren t built to survive as they once were. The gap between the two divisions is getting wider and wider and it can become quite easily to fall into the yo-yo habit, especially if you haven t got the flex of bei…

Cristiano Ronaldo was the biggest omission as UEFA named the Euro 2020 Team of the Tournament.

Five players from competition winners Italy made the best XI announced on Tuesday, though there was no place for Golden Boot winner Ronaldo.

The Portugal forward scored five times, as did the Czech Republic s Patrik Schick, but Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku got the nod in a front three with Federico Chiesa and Raheem Sterling.

Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire were the other England representatives in the team.

But there was no place for fellow defender Luke Shaw, who scored in the final to cap a fine tournament, or his Manchester United team-mate Paul Pogba, one of the tournament s stars before France s elimination in the last 16.

Oldham s Jose Baxter faces his old club Everton  this weekend hoping to help his side cause another FA Cup shock

The fifth round of the FA Cup takes place this weekend with a number of teams hoping to cause upsets and some looking to avoid shocks.

One of the teams that caused a shock in the fourth round were League One Oldham.

The Latics knocked out Premier League Liverpool in the last round and now host the Reds neighbours Everton at Boundary Park.

One of the key players for the League One in that clash was former-Everton youngster Jose Baxter and he will be hoping to come back to haunt his old club in this clash.

Liverpool fielded a slightly weakened team at Boundary Park, but the Toffee’s are unlikely to make the same mistake.
