Norway head coach Stale Solbakken has reacted with fury to suggestions that Manchester City interfered with his squad selection for media duties. The national team boss was forced to address rumours that the Etihad giants requested Erling Haaland be kept away from the cameras following a landmark verdict regarding the club's financial conduct.
Manchester United icon Wayne Rooney has sent a clear message to his former team-mates, insisting he would not accept a retrospectively awarded Premier League medal for the 2011-12 season. While other United stars have expressed interest in claiming titles if Manchester City face sanctions for their 115 financial charges, the legendary striker believes the Red Devils didn't do enough to earn the crown on the pitch.
