Vancouver Whitecaps 2 Overview

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.

Fulham have commenced discussions with former Real Madrid boss Alvaro Arbeloa regarding their managerial vacancy following Marco Silva's departure to Benfica. The West London outfit are thoroughly exploring their options and have also added former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to an ambitious shortlist of potential candidates.

Manchester City have seen a staggering £106 million bid for midfield star Elliot Anderson rejected by Nottingham Forest. The Manchester giants are pushing hard to secure the 23-year-old, but the Tricky Trees are holding out for a fee that would shatter the British transfer record.
