Didi Hamann has urged Manchester United to pursue Thomas Tuchel as their next manager, with the Old Trafford club set to decide on a long-term successor to Michael Carrick at the end of the season. England boss Tuchel will be busy leading the Three Lions into the World Cup over the summer, but Hamann believes United should make him their prime candidate despite links with PSG's Champions League-winning head coach Luis Enrique.

Harry Kane has, as a complete forward that blends goal-scoring with ball-playing, been compared to Toni Kroos and Kevin De Bruyne by Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany. England captain Kane is all about hitting the net - an artform that he has mastered down the years - but his remarkable numbers in the final third also include plenty of assists.

Morgan Rogers is being tipped to complete a stunning £80 million ($107m) transfer to a Premier League powerhouse at some point in the not too distant future. Former Villans striker Stan Collymore has explained to GOAL why the England international will likely be on the move in upcoming windows and which teams will be leading the chase for his signature.

Manchester United have appointed Michael Carrick as their caretaker manager from now until the end of the season to clean up the mess caused by Ruben Amorim’s sudden departure. And now the real work begins: searching for a long–term successor who can bring lasting success. Of all the available candidates out there, Thomas Tuchel is by far the most convincing.

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hit a setback in plans to push through a new offside revolution. The 76-year-old has proposed a radical change to current rules which would benefit attackers but is now facing opposition from both UEFA and the British FAs. The governing bodies believe Wenger's plans are "too drastic" and would have too much of an impact on how the game is currently played.

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

Arsenal star Declan Rice has been banned from driving after he was caught speeding twice on the same road in the space of a week. The England midfielder has also been issued with a fine after he was spotted going over the speed limit in his £40,000 Jaguar Land Rover at the start of last year. He did not appear at Crawley Magistrates Court on Tuesday.

Michael Owen, who remains the last Englishman to win the Ballon d’Or, has told GOAL what Harry Kane needs to do in order to land a prestigious Golden Ball in 2026. The prolific Bayern Munich striker is considered to have a "big chance" of claiming that prize as he chases down Champions League glory at club level and a World Cup crown with England.

Declan Rice has delivered a typically humble response to claims that he is the “best midfielder in the world” and a serious contender for Ballon d’Or honours in 2026. The Arsenal and England star has become a crucial cog in engine rooms with club and country, leading to his lofty billing, and the 26-year-old is rightly proud of his standing alongside the global elite.

Legendary former player and manager Kevin Keegan, famed for his time at Liverpool and in charge of Newcastle and England, has been diagnosed with cancer, his family have revealed. The 74-year-old was recently admitted to hospital after experiencing symptoms, and will continue to be monitored. Keegan's last managerial role was in 2008 when he completed a fairy tale return to Newcastle, only to fall out with owner Mike Ashley.

Wayne and Coleen Rooney have been warned that their £10 million ($14m) Disney+ documentary could end up doing more harm than good. The Manchester United legend is, alongside his wife and four sons, preparing to welcome cameras into his home. Plenty of entertainment is expected, but life under the spotlight could also lead to the odd divide forming.

Real Madrid and England star Jude Bellingham has been defended from criticism by pundit Gordon Strachan, who insists that both Xabi Alonso and Thomas Tuchel need to "protect" the midfielder. Bellingham has been at the centre of controversy at international level and has also previously been defended by Ian Wright.

Wayne Rooney has revealed that Sol Campbell did not speak to him for six months after Manchester United beat Arsenal to end their 49-game unbeaten run at Old Trafford in 2004. The former United striker won a penalty in the game, as he cut in from the right and went down easily under the challenge of Campbell, who claimed his compatriot dived.
