Manchester United academy star Kai Rooney has taken a significant step in his professional development by signing with Triple S Sports Management, the high-profile agency that has long represented his father, Wayne, and helped broker Harry Maguire's record transfer to Old Trafford. The 16-year-old forward is widely regarded as one of the most exciting talents within the Carrington setup, and this representation deal signals a major milestone in his burgeoning career.
Wayne Rooney has been making unfortunate headlines again, with it being reported that the Manchester United legend is “really irritating” wife Coleen. The former England captain was recently spotted drinking until the early hours of the morning at a pre-Brit Awards party in Manchester. He was joined by two mystery women, leading to patience among friends and family of his long-term partner “wearing thin”.
Former Chelsea midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka has officially committed his international future to Austria. The Borussia Dortmund star, who represented England at youth level, is now set to link up with former Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick.
Manchester United fan Frank Ilett has become an internet sensation for refusing to cut his hair until the Red Devils win five consecutive matches. Now, the viral star has appeared in a hilarious new advert revealing his plan for the future if Michael Carrick's side achieve that feat.
Pedro Porro has moved to clarify his relationship with Tottenham interim head coach Igor Tudor following a visible show of frustration during the club's recent defeat to Crystal Palace. The Spaniard’s outburst sparked rumours of dressing room unrest as Spurs prepare for a daunting Champions League trip to Atletico Madrid. However, Porro has now insisted that Tudor was not the target of his anger.
It has been claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo was once looking to construct a mansion, during his first spell at Manchester United, that would have included a “jacuzzi at the foot of his bed”. Said project never got off the ground, following discussions with planners, and the Portuguese icon - who now owns several luxury houses - left England for Real Madrid in 2009.
What's the cheapest way to watch as much Premier League football a season?
Currently, the most cost efficient package looks to be picking up a TV deal through Virgin Media or EE TV.
Existing TV or broadband customers can add TNT Sports to Virgin Media for £12 per month and Sky Sports for £31.75 per month, adding on Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
EE TV (formerly BT TV) also provide their Big Sport deal which includes TNT Sports and Sky Sports via NOW TV, for £45 per month, which is available for existing broadband customers, with the addition of Amazon Prime Video for the few weeks in the season when they show football which is £8.99 per month.
However, when it comes to bang for your buck, if you’re wanting to spend a little less, then the Complete Sky Sports package from an additional £22 per month on top of your current Sky TV deal is the best option, giving you over 128 games across a single season.
