Rashford's agent spotted in City's directors' box
Could snub Villa permanent transfer

Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱
WHAT HAPPENED?
Rashford regained his long-lost form after he made a loan switch from Manchester United to Aston Villa in the January transfer window. Now that the 2024-25 campaign has reached its business end, there has been speculation over the English forward's long-term future. While the Villans have a £40m ($49.5m/€48.8m) buy option in the loan deal, reports have emerged that the 27-year-old is likely to snub Unai Emery's side for a permanent move as he wants to play in the Champions League.

Manchester United are only at the beginning of Ruben Amorim’s era in charge at Old Trafford, but they look set to enter the market this summer for some exciting additions.
Ruben Amorim's Manchester United transfer rescue mission
Following a quiet transfer window for Manchester United, Ruben Amorim managed to bring in Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven to bolster the ranks. Limited funds were available to strengthen a squad in need of regeneration, though the Portuguese boss was able to mitigate his main problem position at left-back amid Luke Shaw’s injury problems.
Expectedly, the former Sporting manager will return to the market this summer in search of youthful exuberence to freshen up a group littered with depreciating assets. The likes of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are taking up valuable Manchester United wage space, while others are simply not pulling their weight and may need shipped out.
While Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee’s inefficiency in front of goal has made the headlines, there is no doubt the engine room has to be replenished further once the window opens again. Nevertheless, Toby Collyer deserves a special mention following his emergence as an option that could succeed one or two of his counterparts.
Homegrown English talent is the way to go for Manchester United. Not only do they represent pure profit in line with PSR regulations; they also ease registration worries for European competitions. With that in mind, could they turn to the Premier League for a sprinkle of stardust?
Manchester United still retain strong Adam Wharton admiration
As per TEAMtalk, Manchester United still hold strong internal admiration towards Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton after decision-makers at the club wanted him as a replacement for Eriksen last year.
Around the time the Red Devils planned on offloading the Denmark veteran, Wharton suffered an injury which halted his progress following an explosive breakthrough in South London. Now, he will be monitored by Amorim’s men for the foreseeable future despite alternative interest from Manchester City and Newcastle United.

Despite Crystal Palace preparing to charge a huge price for the Three Lions midfielder, who has been labelled ‘top-level’ by Declan Rice, United chiefs remain head over heels for the star and his situation will be one to watch as the summer draws closer.
Limited in his involvement this term, Fotmob show Wharton has won ten tackles, made 11 interceptions and 53 recoveries on Premier League duty, with six of those coming in the opposition’s final third.
Tentative excitement is in the air at Old Trafford once Amorim has the chance to fully assess his squad in the summer. Arrivals are bound to supplement departures, and reducing the age of the squad has to be a priority. Fitting the bill, Wharton is someone who could fit the bill as a long-term solution as the Red Devils roadmap a route to success to put themselves back among the elite in English football.
Holder, Joseph, Paul and Hosein ran through Nepal despite a poor fielding display by West Indies
Danyal Rasool22-Jun-2023Centuries from Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran saw West Indies post 339 and demolish Nepal by 101 runs to shore up their Super Six hopes. After early wobbles, Hope and Pooran combined for a 216-run partnership for the fourth wicket, scoring 132 and 115 respectively as West Indies registered the highest score of the tournament. Nepal were never in the chase despite extensive sloppiness in the field from West Indies, and wickets for Jason Holder, Keemo Paul and Akeal Hosein helped them bowl Nepal out for 238.Nepal won the toss and Rohit Paudel elected to field first, a trend that has seen most sides be successful in these qualifiers. It seemed to pay off immediately with his side enjoying the better of the first ten overs. Karan KC and Gulshan Jha removed Kyle Mayers and Johnson Charles within the first five overs to leave them two wickets down for nine. Sandeep Lamichhane – much improved from the first two games, also got his first wicket of the tournament when he cleaned up Brandon King with a googly shortly after.That brought Pooran and Hope together, but a costly drop when Pooran had just scored three by keeper Aasif Sheikh would prove to be a real sliding doors moment. Pooran smacked one six each off Lalit Rajbanshi and Lamichhane immediately after as West Indies began to move through the gears, and Hope joined in on the aggression. He would soon bring up his half-century, before Pooran reached his at a much quicker clip off 51 balls. By now, West Indies were 162 for three with a third of the innings set to go, beautifully set up for the finish.Related

It was a platform they took advantage of, with Pooran throwing caution to the wind thereafter as Hope played second-fiddle, willing to be a spectator to the fireworks. Jha was tonked for 15 in an over and Karan for 12, and it even appeared as if Pooran might beat Hope to three figures. In the end, they both got there in the 40th over, Hope easing to it with a brace while Pooran carved a boundary behind point to bring his up in 81 balls.West Indies had a free rein in the final ten overs, through which they’d contribute 98, helped by cameos from Rovman Powell and Holder, giving Nepal 340 to get their first points on the board.Shai Hope celebrates his 15th ODI century•ICC via Getty ImagesIt was an overwhelming ask, and Nepal almost seemed to treat the target as a suggestion rather than a goal. Early wickets for Joseph and Holder didn’t help as Nepal went back into their shell. But they continued to lose wickets as the run rate climbed, despite the profligacy of the West Indian fielding, which bordered on the uninterested at times. There were at least seven catches put down all innings, as well as a number of misfields that could be put down to lackadaisical efforts.But, true to West Indies form, it was interspersed with moments of divine brilliance in the field. A catch on the boundary by Keacy Carty was the pick of the lot, leaping over the rope before coming back in to complete a perfectly executed catch to dismiss Kushal Malla. A sharp grab by Roston Chase sent Dipendra Airee packing too, and by now, Nepal had long been nudged out of the contest, tottering on the brink of a colossal defeat at 128 for six.Aarif Sheikh hung around with the lower order, scoring a spirited half-century to ensure his side put up a respectable total. Nepal crossed 200 and ensured they took the game to the final over thanks to Karan, who played his shots as West Indies went through the motions. It was a successful effort, of sorts, to delay an outcome that had been obvious for at least a couple of hours, as West Indies shook hands on their second successive win.
Opener returns to the fold as hosts look to flip results in ODIs

Tammy Beaumont speaks to England Women’s head coach Jon Lewis•ECB via Getty Images
Tammy Beaumont hasn’t had the easiest of gigs over the past week. Not only has she spent that time commentating for TV on a format she hasn’t played internationally in over a year-and-a-half, but on a T20I series England lost 2-1 to a Sri Lanka side ranked six places below them.Back in the fold for the ODI series as one of the form batters in the country this summer, she is in prime position to turn things around for the hosts and is backing her side – and herself – to do so.”It’s great to be back,” Beaumont told reporters ahead of Saturday’s first ODI in Durham. “You always feel like you’re missing out a little bit on something when you’re not involved. Obviously I watched the T20 series, I was actually broadcasting during it, and I’m not going to lie, it was tough to broadcast on at times.”Being a current player, you’re desperate to just try and grow the game and show how good the girls are and get to talk about their characters and build up that kind of thing. So having to broadcast about it was difficult at times.”Full credit to Sri Lanka, they came out and played really well in the second and third T20 and thoroughly deserved the series win. They stuck to their strengths, which is obviously their spin-bowling department and exposed something that we know as an England team we need to work on… I’m fully backing the girls and myself included to bounce back really well in this ODI series.”A Test double-century followed by knocks of 47 and 60 in the ODI section of the drawn Ashes series, 118 from 61 balls – the highest score recorded in the Hundred – as well as a half-century for Welsh Fire and an average of 48.20 in the ongoing Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy mean the positives far outweigh the negatives for opener Beaumont, whom England will be relying on after being bowled out for 104 and 116 as Sri Lanka romped to eight- and seven-wicket victories respectively in the last two T20 games.Related

Ratnayake: Sri Lanka's win against England 'really huge' for cricket in the country
Sri Lanka’s spinners have posed particular problems for the England batters, prompting head coach Jon Lewis to confirm that he would take a group to a training camp in Mumbai to prepare for the year-end tour of India, next year’s T20 World Cup in Bangladesh and the 2025 ODI World Cup in India.And while her experience and professionalism – exemplified by successfully juggling playing and broadcasting careers this year – will go a long way to helping Beaumont pick up where she left off, the task ahead is slightly more nuanced than that.”I always find it difficult being in and out, it’s not easy,” Beaumont said. “The way Jon Lewis has set up the team and how hard he works with the communication and how we function as a group, even just in 10 days you feel like you’re missing out on some evolution of this group. So coming back in, you’re desperate to get up to speed quickly.”Yes, I went back to domestic cricket with the Blaze and had a good game, well, had good fun at Edgbaston in our game there. International cricket’s a whole different ball game. Sometimes it’s quite difficult, but luckily I’ve felt pretty good most of the summer in terms of how I’ve been playing so hopefully it’s not too different and it’s just a case of that mental sharpness that I really need to just switch on to international cricket.”Beaumont’s last match was in victory for the table-topping Blaze over second-placed Central Sparks in the RHFT on Tuesday. She was run out for 24 while team-mate Nat Sciver-Brunt scored an unbeaten 66 ahead of bolstering England for the ODIs against Sri Lanka, having been rested for the T20I leg.Chamari Attapaththu’s side, however, will be full of confidence after becoming the first team besides Australia to defeat England in a bilateral T20I series since New Zealand did it in 2010. It was a triumph Rumesh Ratnayake, Sri Lanka’s head coach, described as “really huge” for the nation.”If I cover up my England badge and if you think for a moment about being a neutral women’s cricket supporter, the fact Sri Lanka are capable of beating England in a T20 series, the fact Pakistan have beaten South Africa, is possibly the best thing for the global women’s game,” Beaumont said.”As much as it hurts to have lost to them and we’ll be reeling, we’ll be desperate to put it right, for the global women’s game, it’s a must. There’s no point in 10 years’ time only England, India and Australia kind of fighting it out at the top three and all the rest of the cricket not being worth it. So yeah, for a moment, if I take my England hat off, it’s absolutely the best thing for the women’s game.”
Manchester United have some exciting young talent in the first-team squad. One of their best players this term has been Amad. The Ivorian has been a pivotal player for Ruben Amorim so far, playing as either a wing-back or in the number ten role. So far this season, he has nine goals and seven assists in all competitions.
Another star youngster in the Red Devils squad is Kobbie Mainoo. Amorim has managed his minutes well this season, ensuring not to overplay him, something former boss Erik ten Hag was guilty of. Mainoo’s best performance of the season came away to FCSB on Thursday night in the Europa League, after he managed to score and assist in a 2-0 win.
United are now eyeing up a couple more young stars, Mathys Tel and Geovany Quenda, who could add to the quality that Amad and Mainoo give them.
Man Utd's pursuit of Tel and Quenda
It would be a bold move for Amorim’s side to bring in two premium talents in Europe. Tel is wanted by the Red Devils on loan, according to Florian Plettenberg, with fellow journalist Fabrizio Romano suggesting Tottenham Hotspur have had a £50m bid accepted by Bayern Munich, although the race is still open.
Although opportunities have been limited for Tel this term, he showed what he can do in the 2023/24 season. The Frenchman scored ten goals and provided six assists in 41 games, although he played the equivalent of just 16 games.
Mathys Tel for Bayern Munich
Quenda, who is valued at £33.4m according to David Ornstein, is wanted by the Red Devils next summer. The journalist suggests the 13-time Premier League champions are yet to make a formal offer but implies they are likely to make a move.
He was compared to Arsenal star Bukayo Saka by Sporting CP academy coach Fabio Roque. The youngster has two goals and six assists for Amorim’s former side this term, having played 34 times.
As good as these youngsters are, United might have someone even better in the first-team squad, who is actually worth even more than both of them combined.
The United star worth more than Tel and Quenda
The player in question here is United’s number 17, Alejandro Garnacho. It has been an exceptional rise to the top for the Red Devils “generational” star, as football statistician Statman Dave described him.
Alejandro Garnacho for Manchester United
The Argentina international has played 121 times already for the English giants, despite being just 20 years of age. He has scored 23 times and registered 15 assists.
Perhaps his best goal for the club came against Everton, an incredible overhead kick which won him the Puskas award.
This season, the Red Devils attacker experienced a dip in form but still has eight goals and six assists in 35 games. It has been a tough campaign for United as a team, but Garnacho has still put in some impressive performances this term.

Stats from Transfermarkt
There has been talk of the winger departing Old Trafford in the January transfer window. Romano reported earlier in the month that Chelsea and Napoli were interested in signing the winger, although that seems unlikely at this stage of the window.
Market Movers
In terms of a price, the 20-year-old is valued at far more than both Tel and Quenda, with CIES Football Observatory pricing him at as high as £95m.
Whilst that might be considered a lot of money for suitors to pay, it also seems an insignificant amount given what he offers United.
He has already made many key contributions in a United shirt, including a goal in an FA Cup final against Manchester City and the Puskas award-winning goal against the Toffees. That, surely is worth more than £95m.
It surely seems like a mistake for United to sell Garnacho, given his potential, ability and knack for scoring big goals. He might well form a key partnership with Tel and Quenda, but the fact he is worth more than both combined speaks great volumes about his ability and value to the club.

Parkinson has said of getting that ball rolling: “When the dust settles on a season, you have got to look at the squad going forward. We have been able to sit down as staff and assess what we feel we are going to need going forward. We are just in the normal process for this stage of the summer.
“We have had talks with players but at this stage, it is about assessing the market and what is out there, and making sure clubs are aware of our interest in certain players, and agents know what positions we feel we need to look to strengthen. As the summer goes on, hopefully we get the best players to make us a competitive squad for next season.”

Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad are prepared to offer £41m for Son, according to CaughtOffside, but it remains to be seen whether Tottenham would accept an offer in and around this figure for a club legend – even if he is about to enter the final 12 months of his deal at 32 years old.
TottenhamHotspur's Son Heung-min applauds fans after the match
Even Mathys Tel could return to Bayern Munich after his loan spell at Spurs, regardless of their option to buy for around £45 million, as the final decision to remain will rest solely on the Frenchman’s shoulders.
As such, the north Londoners are considering their options in the final third, with Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens said to be piquing their interest.
Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Bynoe-Gittens in action
The England Under-21 international has been in electric form this season, hitting double figures for goals in all competitions, with Gittens attracting attention from the Premier League as a result.
Ange Postecoglou and Spurs are very keen on the 20-year-old winger (GiveMeSport), with reliable Bundesliga journalist Christian Falk backing this information on SportBILD.
Tottenham "said to be offering" £83m for Borussia Dortmund star Jamie Gittens
According to Falk, as relayed by Sport Witness, Tottenham are “said to be offering €100m” for Gittens – equivalent to £83m – and could go “big” to secure his signing.
This figure would make the former Chelsea and Man City academy ace their most expensive transfer, so this is quite the claim.
“Dortmund crashed in the league, the Champions League is getting further and further away, and with that the income from the Champions League next season,” he said.
“They have to win it to be in it again. If they miss out, they’ll have to sell players and Gittens is highly regarded. Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are said to be offering €100m. You have to say that would be nice money.
“[Dortmund CEO] Hans-Joachim Watzke recently admitted that they will have to sell one or two players if they miss out on the Champions League. So, a transfer for Gittens could happen.
“The English have the money; they have the TV contracts. Bayern Munich won’t pay this summer, and they could have him with that. But yes, Tottenham I think they’ll bet big.”
Former Dortmund boss Nuri Sahin, commenting on the young attacker recently, said he’s an “incredible” one-on-one dribbler.
West Bromwich Albion supporters will be hoping for a return to winning ways this coming weekend in the Championship when second-tier underdogs Oxford United travel to the Hawthorns.
Whilst a new appointment for the U’s has worked visible wonders – with Gary Rowett catapulting Oxford up to 16th since taking over on Boxing Day – Tony Mowbray’s appointment towards the start of 2025 hasn’t quite been as smooth with just one league victory picked up in February.
Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray.
The 61-year-old is already testing the Baggies masses, with their grip on a final playoff spot suddenly looking weaker, but he does have the firepower of Adam Armstrong to now fall back on to try and put together a positive patch of form.
Armstrong's EFL heroics
The deadline day pick up of Armstrong on loan from Southampton was arguably the most jaw-dropping deal that took place in the second tier at the death, considering the 28-year-old’s previous explosive form in the EFL’s elite league.
After all, without the former Blackburn Rovers striker’s heroics last campaign, the Saints might well have come up short in the promotion race, with Armstrong firing home a potent 24 strikes to play a huge part in his parent side leaping back up to the Premier League.
Alongside these glittering numbers on the South Coast, Armstrong and Mowbray have also worked together to devastating effect in the past at Ewood Park, with all of the slick attacker’s 64 strikes for the Riversiders coming when he was positioned at the helm.
Therefore, it would have been a no-brainer decision to get him in through the door, as Armstrong already has one goal next to his name from three Baggies appearances, although a couple of blanks fired across West Brom’s recent dip in form will worry some.
Still, there will be an expectation that the 28-year-old can conjure up his Blackburn best in time, with the once £15m forward licking his lips at the prospect of working alongside this assist king in the West Midlands, who is now worth more than his past price-tag.
The West Brom star who's worth more than Armstrong
Mowbray would have been glad he had this star at his immediate disposal when arriving back onto the scene, considering 12-goal ace Josh Maja remains sidelined through injury.
Luckily, even as transfer rumours kicked into gear on deadline day, homegrown winger Tom Fellows remained at the Hawthorns, with the 21-year-old potentially the perfect player to complement Armstrong’s deadliness.

Looking at the table above, it’s clear to see why a number of Premier League outfits were keeping a close eye on the Solihull-born winger during the winter window, with a hefty total of 11 assists coming his way from 32 Championship contests, despite only averaging a low 27.7 touches per match.
When he was still fit, Maja was in dreamland working alongside the Solihull-born sensation, knowing that Fellows only needed a moment’s notice to fashion him a chance that was then regularly put away.
Therefore, he could be an ideal partner for Armstrong to recapture his goalscoring mojo, with the Baggies breathing a big sigh of relief that their £20m-rated man didn’t up and leave for Everton. Equally, that £20m valuation places him ahead of Armstrong, who is deemed to be worth £13m, according to Transfermarkt.
They will likely have to fend off more interest coming their way, especially if Fellows’ ongoing goals and assists see promotion become a reality, but in the short-term, the Toffees target and Armstrong could really spark up an exciting connection.
Having cost the club nothing after coming through the Baggies academy, Fellows’ rise will be even more of a joy to behold for supporters at the Hawthorns, with a hope the “unbelievable” ace – as he has been labelled by fellow teammate Karlan Grant – can guide Mowbray’s men up a division despite their sometimes inconsistent displays.
Forget Armstrong: West Brom could ease Maja blow by unleashing 18y/o star
West Bromwich Albion could soon be boosted in attack by this exciting starlet.
