Marcus Rashford is in talks over signing a new five-year contract at Manchester United but Erik ten Hag’s new ‘Cristiano Ronaldo rule’ may effect negotiations Manchester United’s new ‘ Cristiano Ronaldo rule’ could be put to the test with Marcus Rashford in talks over a new bumper contract, according to reports. It was reported earlier this month that United will introduce a salary cap of £200,000 per-week to ensure that there’s no bad blood in the Old Trafford dressing room when it comes to wages.

Jadon Sancho was back in Manchester United first team training on Tuesday, having not played since October. The England international has not been out injured, but a loss of form cost him his place in the first team and then has lost fitness as a result. The 22-year-old had been back at the Manchester United training ground last week and was on a personal schedule before rejoining his teammates. The Athletic report that Sancho has now been back in first team training at Carrington on Tuesday and will be hoping to be back in a match day squad as soon as possible. Talking about…
Erik ten Hag is confident Luke Shaw has the ‘physical power’ and ‘tactical view’ to thrive playing at centre-half for Manchester United. Shaw has started three of United’s last four Premier League games at centre-half, impressing alongside Raphael Varane at the back in his new role. Eyebrows were raised when the England international was named in the same role against Manchester City on Saturday after Erling Haaland punished United’s backline in the reverse fixture in October, scoring a hat-trick at the Etihad. Shaw impressed again however, helping nullify Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne with the manager’s gamble paying off. ‘It is a big decision,’ ten Hag said.…
Alejandro Garnacho is said to be locked in talks with Manchester United over a new and improved contract at Old Trafford.

The 18-year-old winger has emerged as one of United’s brightest young talents over the last few months and has managed to force his way into the first-team setup by making the most of his chances to impress Ten Hag over the course of this season. United…

She’s back in her home country of Australia after a whirlwind overseas promotional tour for Babylon. And Margot Robbie did not disappoint in the style stakes on Monday night, pulling out all the stops for the film’s Australian premiere in Sydney. The 32-year-old turned heads in a floor length baby blue gown which featured a daring split adorned with red lace detailing. Margot looked every inch the movie star as she posed on the red carpet for photographers, before meeting her adoring fans. The Wolf Of Wall Street Star showcased her cleavage in a plunging satin gown, with the minimalist style frock clinging to…
Margot Robbie looked effortlessly cool in a whit singlet top and blue jeans as she touched down in Sydney on Sunday ahead of the film premiere of Babylon. The Australian native, 32, looked sensational in the body-hugging top and relaxed denim as she was whisked towards a waiting car. The I, Tonya star accessorised her look with a pair of sunglasses, a pendant necklace, hoop earrings and a white Prada handbag slung over her shoulder – but chose not to wear her engagement ring from husband Tom Ackerley. Margot also sported a pair of unusual blue heels by Bottega Veneta. She opted for…
Margot Robbie was joined by her entire family and several friends at the Sydney premiere of her new movie Babylon on Monday night. And the two-time Oscar nominee’s childhood pals made sure to embarrass her during her red carpet turn. While she was speaking to entertainment reporter Justin Hill, one of her friends standing behind her yelled out, ‘Hey, maggot!’ ‘Maggot’ was Margot’s nickname during school. It appears to be a play on her first name, but also could be a reference to the fact she is a fan of the band Slipknot, whose fans are known as ‘maggots’. Margot took the dig in her…
John Aldridge looks ahead to upcoming matches against Wolves and Chelsea in part two of his weekly Liverpool column Liverpool have the chance to put things right this evening against Wolves, and who is selected to start will be interesting to see. James Milner could come in, I’m sure he is the sort of player who will give his all, and maybe Ben Doak should be given a game. Klopp has got to get a reaction from the players and we need to get back on track. If we go there and get pulled apart, that is going to be a nightmare…
Jurgen Klopp has vowed there will be a summer of change at Anfield – but his departure from Liverpool will not be one of them. Liverpool face Wolves in an FA Cup third round replay on Tuesday and the tie has assumed huge significance on the back of a 3-0 defeat to Brighton – who await the winners in round four – which Klopp described as the worst of his managerial career. The German was in the mood to talk yesterday and, in what felt like a significant press conference, Klopp defended himself against criticism he is too loyal to players, insisted his squad are still…
Pep Guardiola has admitted Manchester City must find a way to get Erling Haaland more involved in their play. The Norway international was a peripheral figure in Saturday’s 2-1 Premier League derby defeat to Manchester United, having only a couple of half-chances and just 19 touches in the match. Haaland has now gone three games without a goal – hardly a crisis, particularly as he was only a second-half substitute at Southampton, but a dip by the standards of a player who had 27 in his first 21 outings. But more noticeable has been the impact Haaland has had on City’s system after they became so…
Pep Guardiola predicted a drop in form for Phil Foden in an interview which has since gone viral. Having been at City since he was a boy, Foden was eased into the first-team by Guardiola, who was immediately in awe of his talents when he spotted him in the academy. Despite calls from many for him to be loaned out, Foden eventually became a regular in the City side and was integral in their back-to-back Premier League wins in the 2020/21 and 2021/22 campaigns. He also picked up back-to-back PFA Young Player of the Year awards and hit 30 goals in…
