Gary Neville is keen for Manchester United to have a new home, telling prospective bidders to modernise the club.
The Glazer family s tenure in charge at Old Trafford could be nearing a conclusion, having announced in November that they were exploring options for a sale.
Last week saw visits to the club from Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani s delegation and Jim Ratcliffe, both of whom are the running for a potential takeover – though there could be as many as eight bidders.
Former United captain Neville is keen for whoever takes charge to invest significantly in the club s infrastructure, including the construction of a new stadium.
I think we ve got to make sure that whoever the new owners are in the next few months, that they harness what the club s …
Pascal Gross has signed an extension to his deal at Brighton and Hove Albion, meaning Seagulls fans can expect their team to keep creating plenty of chances.
The 31-year-old has been at Brighton since arriving from Ingolstadt in 2017, contributing 23 goals and 33 assists in 184 Premier League games for the club.
Since Gross came to England s top-flight in Brighton s first season after promotion from the Championship, only Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne (535) has created more chances than his 388, ahead of Liverpool s Trent Alexander-Arnold (381) and Mohamed Salah (361).
Brighton announced on Wednesday that the German midfielder has extended his stay at the Amex Stadium until 2025.
388 Since joined the Premier League in 2017, only Kevin De Bruyne (5…
Andy Carroll was overlooked for England s upcoming international friendlies against Spain and France but he is still a chance to make the Euro 2016 squad, according to West Ham manager Slaven Bilic.
There was no room for Carroll in Roy Hodgson s 23-man England squad on Thursday, with in-form Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy, Harry Kane and Wayne Rooney preferred up front.
Carroll has not added to his nine caps since October 2012 but Bilic believes the 26-year-old, who netted the winner against Chelsea last month, can book his spot on the plane to France next year if he can enjoy a consistent run of form.
He has to perform well and as a centre-forward, he has to score goals. It is very simple, Bilic said ahead of Saturday s clash at home to Everton.

Cristiano Ronaldo will play in all three of Portugal s fixtures during the international break following his return to Manchester United, head coach Fernando Santos said.
Ronaldo completed his United comeback on Tuesday, the five-time Ballon d Or winner re-joining the Red Devils from Juventus for a second spell following his successful first stint at Old Trafford between 2003 and 2009.
Amid the hype in Manchester, Ronaldo s attention has swiftly turned to matters with Portugal as Santos men prepare to face Republic of Ireland on Wednesday.
Portugal will also meet Qatar in a friendly on Saturday before resuming their road to Qatar 2022 against Azerbaijan on Tuesday.
As Ronaldo stands on the cusp of breaking his tie with Ali Daei for the most international…
Lampard suspects Godfrey fractured fibula in Chelsea loss, hints at further signings after Everton i
Frank Lampard admitted Everton s injury situation could force the club s hand in the transfer market, as he revealed Ben Godfrey had suffered a suspected fractured fibula in the Premier League defeat to Chelsea.
Jorginho s first-half penalty was enough to give Thomas Tuchel s Blues a 1-0 win at Goodison Park on Saturday, ending their run of four consecutive league defeats on the ground.
While Chelsea were indebted to Edouard Mendy for preserving their clean sheet with fine saves from James Tarkowski, Demarai Gray and Abdoulaye Doucoure, Lampard s side were hampered by injury problems on the opening day of the new campaign.
Having already been left without a recognised striker through Dominic Calvert-Lewin s injury and Salomon Rondon s suspension, the Toffees s…
Simone Inzaghi was in no doubt as to the importance of Inter s 2-0 Champions League win at Viktoria Plzen, as he looks to navigate a path through a group containing Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Having fallen to a 2-0 loss against Bayern last Wednesday, Inter were faced with the prospect of starting a Champions League campaign with back-to-back defeats for just the second time (after doing so in 2006-07).
But Edin Dzeko s cultured first-half finish put the Nerazzurri in control, and Denzel Dumfries made the points safe after Pavel Bucha was dismissed on the hour mark.
Inter have now won three of their last four Champions League away games, as many as they had in their previous 12 such matches.
Having triumphed 1-0 at Liverpool in the second leg of a last…
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang insists he is happy at Borussia Dortmund and envisages his long-term future being with the club.
The 27-year-old penned a contract extension running until 2020 in July despite being linked to the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid – doing much to fuel speculation over a move to the latter club himself.
He has been in prolific form this season and scored the winner against rivals Bayern Munich in Der Klassiker last Saturday, moving to 12 goals in 10 Bundesliga games.
Gabon international Aubameyang thrilled Signal Iduna Park and the 25,000-strong Yellow Wall on the stadium s Sudtribune by sinking Bayern and he cited Dortmund s passionate support as a factor in his present satisfaction.
The fans of BVB are really incredible…
Jurgen Klopp hinted he could remain at Liverpool beyond 2024 if he has the energy required.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday s FA Cup victory over Norwich City, Klopp said he was unsure whether he would extend his contract at Anfield. The German s deal is due to expire at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season.
The 54-year-old has won five trophies – including Premier League and Champions League titles – during his six and a half years on Merseyside, and on Friday he said it was still his intention to see out his deal.
However, he believes it is more important that the club is positioned to continue challenging for multiple honours even if he is no longer at the club.
Jürgen Klopp discussed the importance of strength in depth and the challenge West …
Morocco coach Walid Regragui has no special tactical plan to stop France s star forward Kylian Mbappe.
The Atlas Lions are the underdog success story of the World Cup, having beat Belgium, Spain and Portugal en route to becoming the first African team to reach a semi-final in the tournament s history.
France, on the other hand, lost their last meeting with an African side – against Tunisia in the group stage in Qatar – but are aiming to reach the final for a second successive World Cup after their triumph in 2018.
Mbappe has been their driving force, scoring five goals and setting up a further two. No other player in the competition has contributed to as many goals as the 23-year-old, who is the tournament s top scorer.
Trying to stop Mbappe will be h…
Erik ten Hag should be given another season by the new regime at Manchester United after masterminding their FA Cup triumph, says former Red Devils striker Dwight Yorke.
Ten Hag s future was subject to speculation throughout a largely dismal season for United, who recorded their lowest ever Premier League finish of eighth.
They also exited the Champions League in the group stage, losing 19 matches and conceding 85 goals across all competitions.
However, they finished an underwhelming campaign on a high note on Saturday, with Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo scoring in a shock 2-1 FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
Yorke says Ten Hag deserves credit for the way he set United up at Wembley Stadium, as the Red Devils edged City for expected goal…
