Sturt Lions Overview

Mitchell van der Gaag is reportedly in advanced discussions to take over as the new head coach of Maritimo, signaling a swift return to the dugout. The 54-year-old was a key figure under Erik ten Hag at Manchester United for two years but has been out of the game since leaving FC Zurich in October last year.

Arsenal legend David Seaman has delivered a stinging assessment of Manchester United’s recent performances, claiming it is "easy" for Bruno Fernandes to stand out in a side he described as "rubbish." The former England goalkeeper believes the accolades for Player of the Year should instead favour stars from the title-winning Gunners squad.

Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham has strongly backed Michael Carrick’s permanent managerial appointment at Old Trafford, fiercely dismissing any lazy comparisons to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure. The former striker insists that the newly-appointed manager possesses the rare tactical acumen required to potentially replicate Pep Guardiola's historic trajectory at Barcelona.

Marcus Rashford would appear to be the perfect replacement for Anthony Gordon at Newcastle, as one England star heads to Barcelona and another potentially departs Catalunya, but Chris Waddle has told GOAL that the Manchester United-owned forward may be done with the Premier League. Questions are being asked of whether the 28-year-old has fallen out of love with top-flight competition in his homeland.
