Asosiasi Sepak Bola Inggris (FA) bersiap untuk merevisi peraturan yang mengatur final FA Youth Cup menyusul perselisihan sengit antara Manchester United dan Manchester City. Keputusan badan pengatur tersebut diambil setelah pertandingan puncak derby Manchester baru-baru ini dipindahkan dari stadion besar, yang memicu kritik dari para pejabat dan pendukung United.
Legenda Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, mengungkapkan bahwa ia mungkin perlu menjalani operasi setelah mengalami cedera pergelangan tangan yang tak terduga. Mantan kapten timnas Inggris itu terlihat mengenakan gips saat bertugas sebagai komentator dalam siaran final Piala FA pada Sabtu lalu. Ia mengalami cedera tersebut saat berusaha menahan tendangan keras dari kiper Everton, Jordan Pickford, selama sesi syuting televisi.
Bintang Manchester City, Rayan Cherki, berhasil mendapatkan kenang-kenangan unik setelah timnya menaklukkan Chelsea dalam final Piala FA di Wembley. Saat menerima medali juaranya, pemain sayap asal Prancis itu menghampiri Pangeran William untuk berfoto selfie yang jenaka, yang kemudian menjadi viral di media sosial.
Pep Guardiola membuat para pendukung Manchester City cemas menanti masa depannya setelah percakapan yang penuh teka-teki pasca-pertandingan di Wembley, namun seorang pakar bahasa tubuh meyakini bahwa pelatih asal Catalan itu masih jauh dari kata selesai di Etihad. Meskipun ia mengelak dari pertanyaan mengenai rencana jangka panjangnya, berbagai tanda justru menunjukkan semangat baru, bukan tanda-tanda kepergian yang akan segera terjadi.
Chelsea secara resmi mengumumkan penunjukan Xabi Alonso sebagai manajer barunya, yang membawa mantan gelandang Liverpool dan Real Madrid itu kembali ke Liga Premier. Pelatih asal Spanyol tersebut telah menandatangani kontrak jangka panjang di Stamford Bridge, seiring dengan upaya grup pemilik The Blues untuk membuka era baru yang penuh stabilitas dan kesuksesan setelah musim yang penuh gejolak.
