Bruno Fernandes has admitted that Manchester United supporters naturally crave "fresh meat" in the transfer market, but the club captain has strongly defended the decision to retain the old guard, such as Harry Maguire. As the Red Devils prepare for a transformative summer, the Portuguese playmaker believes some established pillars remain vital to the cause.

The 12 games of the Thomas Tuchel era have yielded mixed results and performances from England.

That said, they are among the favourites to win the 2026 World Cup for several reasons.
The road to the 2026 World Cup is almost over for England.

They will do so as one of the favourites to go all the way, with the pressure on Thomas Tuchel and his players to finally end 60 years of hurt.
