Ole Gunnar Solskjaer s working relationship with the club he loves is set to carry on until at least 2024 after he signed an extension with Manchester United.
The deal, a pre-season boost as United prepare for a new campaign, came with a glowing endorsement from outgoing executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who talked up the foundations in place for long-term success on the pitch in the official statement released by the club.
There are obvious reasons to be so optimistic, too, considering the Red Devils finished runners-up to Manchester City in the Premier League and also reached the Europa League final.
However, as has become a worrying trend of late, they still came up short in the quest for silverware. Solskjaer s new deal, plus the signing of Jadon Sancho…
The pre-season in Major League Soccer is in full swing and clubs are looking for players they are going to sign right now. The teams will be able to sign new players even until early May, but they would still like to sign most of their new players at this point. And one of those players could surprisingly be Giuseppe Rossi.
Former Manchester United forward could be joining Real Salt Lake, which is great news considering the Italian has been without the club for the past 18 months. He will turn 33 years old this Saturday and he has not been playing for any side since the end of the 2017-18 season when his contract with Genoa expired. Former Italy international had a lot of serious injuries throughout his career but he might be at a new beginning.
Rossi is training with R…
According to L Equipe, Liverpool s Alberto Moreno has come up on the radar of Olympique Marseille.
The Spaniard s contract with the Merseyside club is set to expire next summer, and he s unlikely to sign a new one as his place in the team is being held firmly by Andy Robertson.
Moreno arrived at Anfield in the summer of 2014 from Sevilla, and since then he has lost his spot to three different players, centre-back Joe Gomez at the start of 2015/16, midfielder James Milner in 2016/17, and now Robertson. He may have regained it from the first two due to various circumstances, but he doesn t look likely to displace the Scotland international any time soon.
The situation has alerted a number of clubs to his availability, and he has been linked with moves to Barcelona…
Jude Bellingham has confirmed he will not be leaving Borussia Dortmund this summer.
Dortmund sold winger Jadon Sancho last summer to Manchester United and Erling Haaland is now set to complete his transfer to Manchester City, but the 18-year-old simply isn t prepared to change clubs just yet.
Bellingham joined Dortmund from Birmingham City back in 2020, and despite his tender age, he s managed to establish himself as a regular starter with the Bundesliga side, making a total of 89 appearances in all competitions over less than two years, along with 10 goals and 17 assists. Primarily a box-to-box player, there s practically no midfield role he hasn t put a fine performance in. His contract has him bound to the club until the summer of 2025.
The only future I’m…
Chris Wilder twice wanted to resign as Sheffield United manager and demanded a £4million pay-off to do so, according to the club s owner.
Wilder left his role as Blades boss by mutual consent on March 13 after almost five years at the club.
He was hugely successful in the first four of those, leading United to two promotions from League One to the Premier League.
He followed that up with a superb ninth-placed finish in the top flight last season.
This campaign has been a huge struggle, though, the Blades having been rooted to the bottom of the table on 14 points at the time of his departure.
Prince Abdullah bin Musa ad bin Abdulaziz Al Sa ud who took full control of the Blades in 2018 after five years as co-chairman has claimed that, despit…
Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has said a lot can happen before the start of next season as talk of a move back to Barcelona continues to grow.
The Catalans are in the market for a top-class right-sided defender and have been heavily linked with the 22-year-old.
New head coach Ernesto Valverde is reported to have given the green light to a €50million bid for the player, who left Camp Nou to join Arsenal in 2011.
With Bellerin having had less playing time since manager Arsene Wenger altered Arsenal s system to a 3-4-3, the Spain international has refused to rule out a move after the European Under-21 Championship in Poland this month.
You never know what can happen, but I have a contract and when I finish my holidays after the Euros I will have to go …

Sky Sports understands that Bournemouth are readying a new contract for Ryan Fraser.
The midfielder has been one of the stand out performers for the Cherries this season, who have been the surprise outfit in the Premier League with five wins and a draw from their first eight games.
The twenty-four-year old moved to the Vitality Stadium from Aberdeen in the January of 2013 and immediately helped the south coast side win promotion to the Championship.
Two years later he helped Eddie Howe’s side up to the Premier League and he has since made sixty appearances in the top flight, scoring eleven goals in the division including three so far this term.
