Austria star Andreas Weimann has aimed a dig at Manchester United who are ‘looking worse’ after not giving Ralf Rangnick enough time at Old Trafford. Rangnick was brought in as interim head coach following United’s decision to sack Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in December 2021. The club had planned to keep the German on in a consultancy role for two years after his spell in the dugout as an advisor to Erik ten Hag, who took the reins in May 2022. Those plans were abandoned, however, with Rangnick taking the Austria national team job. Despite losing their opening game at Euro…

Wayne Rooney says Gareth Southgate ‘killed’ two England players during the Three Lions’ underwhelming group stage at Euro 2024. England travelled to Germany as favourites to win the Euros and bring home the nation’s first major trophy in men’s football since 1966. But confidence began to fade during an uninspiring group stage in which England laboured to a 1-0 victory over Serbia and failed to beat Denmark and Slovenia. Much criticism has been aimed at Southgate for his tactics and Three Lions legend Rooney believes he ‘killed’ Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Gallagher by throwing them both into midfield before quickly…

Gary Neville says ‘something is not right’ with Jude Bellingham and has called for three changes to the England team for their Euro 2024 last-16 clash with Slovakia. Bellingham enjoyed a dream start to the Euros, heading the Three Lions in front against Serbia after just 13 minutes and producing a dominant first-half display in England’s tournament opener. Given the 21-year-old’s sensational first season at Real Madrid, in which he won La Liga and the Champions League, Bellingham was expected to kick on after scoring his first Euros goal and emerge as one of the stars out in Germany. But…

Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann has responded to calls to drop Arsenal’s Kai Havertz for the Euro 2024 knockout stages. Hosts Germany, who topped Group A with seven points, face Denmark on Saturday night for a place in the quarter-finals. Havertz scored in Germany’s opening 5-1 thrashing over Scotland before drawing a blank in the 2-0 win over Hungary and 1-1 draw with Switzerland. The 25-year-old enjoyed an impressive season for Premier League runners-up Arsenal but has been subjected to some criticism during the Euros. Some pundits and fans have suggested Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Fullkrug should be starting ahead of…

Cole Palmer says he is ‘ready’ to start for England at Euro 2024 but insists he ‘understands’ his lack of minutes so far in the tournament. Palmer was an unused substitute in England’s first two group games against Serbia and Denmark before coming on for the final 30 minutes of the goalless draw with Slovenia. Clamour for Palmer to get more minutes increased throughout England’s underwhelming group campaign and several pundits believe he should start Sunday’s last-16 tie against Slovakia. The 22-year-old was one of the stars of the Premier League last term, scoring 22 goals and making 11 assists…

England boss Gareth Southgate has hinted he will resist making major changes to his side for the Euro 2024 last 16 clash against Slovakia on Sunday night. The Three Lions underwhelmed in the group stage of the competition with Southgate facing calls to make changes to his side with Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer impressing off the bench in Tuesday’s goalless draw with Slovenia. Victory over Slovakia on Sunday will set up a quarter-final clash against Switzerland, who eliminated Italy on Saturday with a very impressive 2-0 win. Luke Shaw has still not featured for England in Germany having not…
