European Championship U17 Qualification Overview

Manchester United have confirmed Michael Carrick as their permanent head coach following a successful interim spell. However, it has now been reported that the Red Devils looked at six alternative candidates, including Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti, before deciding to stick with the club legend.

John Arne Riise has told GOAL that Michael Olise and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would be “unbelievable” signings for Liverpool, but the former Reds defender doubts that “big” money is available for such elaborate transfers. Recruitment records were smashed at Anfield during the summer of 2025, meaning that more budget-friendly targets may need to be identified 12 months on.
