Graeme Souness admits he is ‘not convinced’ by Chelsea summer signing Jadon Sancho. Sancho’s miserable three-year spell at Manchester United came to an end last summer when he joined Chelsea on a season-long loan. The deal includes an obligation for Chelsea to sign the 24-year-old permanently for between £20-25m next summer. Sancho cost United £73m in 2021 and the Red Devils had high hopes for a player who thrived at Borussia Dortmund and had begun to feature regularly for England. But the winger’s decline was such that he was loaned back to Dortmund last season following a public spat with…

Owen Hargreaves believes Erik ten Hag is ‘worried’ about Rasmus Hojlund’s workload after he was benched for Manchester United’s Europa League clash against Fenerbahce. Hojlund scored a superb goal in United’s comeback win over Brentford in the Premier League last weekend so it was a surprise to see Joshua Zirkzee start ahead of him in Istanbul. While Zirkzee played a part in Christian Eriksen’s first-half opener, the move did not bring much success for Manchester United and Ten Hag opted to introduce Hojlund in place of the Dutchman shortly after half-time. By then Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce had already scored a…

The Friday letters page wants to see the return of Driver and Colony Wars, as one reader recommends Microsoft Rewards. Marketing madnessI have nothing against Call Of Duty in general but I am so sick of seeing ads for Black Ops 6. I read that it has the marketing budget of a major movie and that seems like an understatement. I’ve never seen such blanket advertising for anything.
