Patrice Evra has been reflecting on his time at Manchester United, admitting that youngsters of today would consider boot cleaning to be a form of “slavery”.

Times have changed quickly, with CR7 now in charge of organising his own scrubbing.
Bruno Guimaraes will spend an extended period on the sidelines with injury and could miss many as eight to ten weeks out of action in a huge blow for Newcastle United.

Harry Maguire's Manchester United team-mates hope that the defender is offered a new contract and stays on beyond the end of this season, a report has revealed, as the 32-year-old nears the end of his Old Trafford deal.

Tottenham Hotspur icon Harry Redknapp has told the club's new head coach Igor Tudor he must get the squad onside with a 'pat on the back' if they are to avoid relegation.

However, comments from Hungary manager Marco Rossi could sour the mood at Anfield.
Liverpool are by no means back to their best. And nor is Mohamed Salah. But there were enough positive signs from both in Saturday night's 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round win over Brighton to suggest that this most trying of seasons might actually end on a positive note for the Reds. Arne Slot's men were actually quite flat in the first half, perhaps exhausted from the effort required to end Sunderland's unbeaten home record in the Premier League in midweek, but they still went into the interval ahead thanks to Curtis Jones' close-range finish from Milos Kerkez's cross.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has offered an update on Ibrahima Konate's future at the club as the defender heads into the final few months of his contract at Anfield.

Chelsea had a quiet January transfer window but did enquire about the possibility of landing a key star from Premier League rivals Tottenham. Spurs are in the midst of another difficult campaign and have just replaced manager Thomas Frank with Igor Tudor until the end of the 2025-26 season. Tudor takes over with Tottenham currently just five points above the relegation zone.
Tottenham have acted swiftly to replace Thomas Frank by confirming Igor Tudor will take charge until the end of the season. Crucially, the deal does not include an option to make the move permanent, meaning the hunt for a long-term successor remains wide open for the summer, keeping the dream of a Mauricio Pochettino reunion very much alive for the Spurs faithful.

It is a little over a year since the former Aston Villa hitman was being linked with European giants Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, but after spells in Saudi Arabia and Turkey, the striker is already drifting further into obscurity.
