Michael Carrick is getting the bulk of plaudits for Manchester United’s resurgence since he took charge, but there is another undeniable factor to consider when analysing the uplift in performances and results at Old Trafford.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has refused to reveal if the club have fined captain Cristian Romero for his post-transfer deadline rant on Instagram.

The former Chelsea star prioritised personal happiness and a "glass of wine" over the relentless discipline that defined the Portuguese star, insisting he has no regrets about his path.

Why does Cristiano Ronaldo always have so much bad luck?!... First, Erik ten Hag didn't recognise his unrivalled ability at Manchester United, then Fernando Santos ruined his 2022 World Cup bid with Portugal. And now, the powers that be in Saudi Arabia are conspiring to make sure his trophy drought in the Middle East extends to three-and-a-half seasons. Give the guy a break!...
