Leny Yoro was delighted to make his debut for Man Utd on Saturday (Picture: Getty) Leny Yoro says it was ‘incredible’ to make his debut for Manchester United as they defeated Scottish side Rangers 2-0 in a pre-season friendly on Saturday. Amad Diallo opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the first half and Joe Hugill grabbed the second as Erik ten Hag’s recorded victory over the Glasgow club. The match saw Yoro make his debut after the 18-year-old centre-back moved to Old Trafford from French side Lille in a deal worth £52.1m this summer. ‘It was incredible,’ Yoro…
Erik ten Hag wants to see more from Amad Diallo in 2024-25 (Picture: Getty) Erik ten Hag has urged Amad Diallo to improve and step up this season after his ‘bad times’ at the club, following his goal in the 2-0 win over Rangers. Diallo opened the scoring for the Red Devils as they defeated their Glasgow opponents on Saturday in a pre-season friendly ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. The 22-year-old Ivory Coast international has only played 21 competitive games for United since he joined the club three years ago from Atalanta. Diallo has spent time out on loan at…
Riccardo Calafiori will sign for Arsenal.. according to his ex (Photo: Getty) Riccardo Calafiori’s big money transfer from Bologna to Arsenal is a done deal… according to the player’s ex-girlfriend. The Italy international, who shone at Euro 2024, has emerged as Arsenal’s top target this summer. Mikel Arteta has been keen to sign a new left-sided defender, with the Gunners said to be very close to sealing the deal for Calafiori despite some setbacks that threatened to derail the transfer.

Santos signed for the Blues in January 2023 for a fee in the region of £10-£18million but is yet to make his debut for the West Londoners. He spent the first-half of last season on loan at Nottingham Forest but was recalled having made just two appearances for the Premier League club. The midfielder was then sent to Strasbourg, the French side who were…
Eddie Nketiah has three years left on his Arsenal contract (Photo: Getty) Arsenal look set to lose Eddie Nketiah this summer with the striker reportedly keen to join Olympique Marseille. Nketiah has been a regular for Mikel Arteta over the past two seasons, but the majority of his appearances have been off the bench, starting just 10 Premier League games in the last campaign. Moreover, while he’s shown flashes of brilliance, the 25-year-old’s stats don’t make for great reading, with just five league goals last season and none after bagging a hattrick against Sheffield United last October. With the likes…
Man Utd hero Ryan Giggs was Britain’s captain at London 2012 (Picture: Getty) Great Britain once again does not have a Team GB football team for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris – and fans want to know exactly why that’s the case. There was a Team GB men’s football team at London 2012 featuring a number of English and Welsh stars including Micah Richards and Ryan Giggs – but there were no Scottish or Northern Irish stars in the squad – as they lost in the last eight. It was the first time Britain had a men’s football team…

The Frenchman partnered Jonny Evans at centre-back in a Manchester United team that featured the likes of Casemiro, Jadon Sancho, Mason Mount and Aaron Wan-Bissaka and a number of youth…
Fernandez faces disciplinary action over alleged racist chant Chelsea has started disciplinary proceedings against midfielder Enzo Fernandez after he posted a video on social media that the French Football Federation (FFF) claims includes a “racist and discriminatory” chant. The FFF has filed a complaint with FIFA regarding the video, which features a song sung by some Argentina squad members about France’s black players.

Fernandez, a record signing for Chelsea, has apologised, expressing his regret for sharing the video, which was made during Argentina’s Copa…
Crystal Palace have raised their price to sign England Euro 2024 star Marc Guehi, amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester United. Guehi was arguably England’s best and most consistent player throughout the European Championships, playing all but one game as the Three Lions fell short at the final hurdle. His impact caught many by surprise given his lack of international experience, having only become a starting player after Harry Maguire was forced to miss the tournament through injury. Guehi was the only Three Lions star to be named in Opta’s Euro 2024 Team of the Tournament, though he was snubbed…
EURO 2025 qualifier: Sweden vs England Sweden will take on England in the final group game of Women’s Euro 2025 qualifiers at the Gamla Ullevi on Tuesday. England are second in the group standings with 10 points, two points behind France. They need only a point against Sweden to confirm their progress into the finals of the tournament. Sweden must win the game to go level on points and any chance of qualification to the next stage. Based on form, that looks like a difficult challenge. League A – Group 3 has proven to be the hardest with France (ranked…

England want Gareth Southgate to remain as manager regardless of the result in Sunday’s Euro 2024 final against Spain. Despite a series of underwhelming performances, the Three Lions have scraped and clawed their way into a first ever major tournament final on foreign soil. Southgate will, of course, be desperate to go one better than three years ago when England were agonisingly beaten on penalties by Italy at Wembley. Spain will start as strong and justifiable favourites in Berlin, but England’s powers of recovery are likely to stand them in good stead. Despite having encountered heavy criticism throughout the early…
Gary Neville says it ‘wouldn’t send a great message to the squad’ if England manager Gareth Southgate dropped Harry Kane for the Euro 2024 final. Southgate is facing fresh and increasing calls to drop his captain after substitute Ollie Watkins scored a late winner to decide the semi-final against the Netherlands on Wednesday night. Kane struggled to make an impact against the Dutch – though he did win and then score the penalty that dragged England back level after Xavi Simons’ 7th-minute opener in Dortmund. The penalty was Kane’s third goal of the Euros, making him the joint-top goalscorer at…
