Owen calls on Man Utd to appoint ex-Derby boss to take over from Ten Hag before City ’embarrassment’
Michael Owen reckons Man Utd should give Steve McClaren the manager s job at Old Trafford after Erik ten Hag s side were embarrassed at Crystal Palace.
The Red Devils were humiliated on Monday night by the Eagles with Michael Olise starring for Oliver Glasner s side as the Frenchman .
Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell also scored as the result sees Man Utd stay in eighth position with Ten Hag s side facing the club s lowest ever Premier League finish unless results improve.
Owen has insisted that there is no way McClaren s fingerprints are anywhere near the current Man Utd team and reckons the 63-year-old should take over from Ten Hag with immediate effect.
When put to him that Ten Hag s assistant, McClaren, could take over, Owen replied on Premie…
It is hard to see that there could be any defence to some of the charges Man City are being accused of if the Football Leaks documents are genuine , according to a sports lawyer.
The Citizens lifted the Premier League title on Sunday with a 3-1 victory over West Ham, which is their second since 115 charges were laid against them by the Premier League in February last year over alleged breaches of financial fair play rules.
Asked whether a second success while the charges remained outstanding would damage European league football, Premier League CEO Richard Masters said earlier this month: It’s not for the football authorities to start being selective about who they would like to win the league.
The key point is that you’ve got that jeopardy until the f…
According to reports, Jadon Sancho remains at loggerheads with Erik ten Hag and he s made his decision on his Manchester United future .
Sancho departed during the January transfer window as he re-joined Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund on loan.
This move came about following his fallout with Erik ten Hag earlier in the season. The winger accused the head coach of making him a scapegoat after he was omitted from United s squad to face Arsenal in September.
refused to apologise to Ten Hag so the Dutchman banished the 24-year-old from the first team and his long-term future at Old Trafford has been in doubt ever since.
Man Utd paid around £73m to sign Sancho from Dortmund in 2021 and he was unable to live up to expectations following this big-money tra…

Joachim Andersen says the decision to award a penalty against him in Denmark s controversial 2-0 loss to Germany was crazy .
Second-half goals from Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala gave the hosts and a place against Spain or Georgia in the last eight.

And even the England players and manager have said since then that there was something wrong in the group games, but they are over it now and they have been improving. On the BBC, we were basically just saying that too.
There were never any personal attacks at all, on Harry or anyone else, because that is not our style but we do have to be honest about what we see. I think Harry would be the first to agree that he was not at his best but I feel like we have been fair on him and the team.
The only time I have talked about him myself was from a tactical and technical point of view, speaking as a former striker, about how he does not really run in behind so you have got to get other players to do that. If those players are not doing it either, England have got a really g…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes Gabriel Jesus has a point to prove as he prepares for the 2024/25 campaign in the United States.
Jesus joined from rivals Manchester City for £45million in the 2022 summer transfer window.
The Brazilian was great at times in his debut season at the Emirates but his time in north London has been hindered by injury after injury.
He is now fully fit and showed he is ready for the new season with a goal in the Gunners 2-1 friendly win over Manchester United on Sunday morning.
Speaking after the match, Arteta praised Jesus, who looks really sharp and is in top condition .
He looks really good, he said. He looks really sharp.
He has changed a lot of things over the summer. He has come in top condition a…
Keith Wyness believes Mohamed Salah leaving Liverpool will happen this summer, and FSG will be looking to make £100million, rather than allowing the superstar one last season at Anfield.
The Reds have enjoyed the services of Salah since 2017, when Jurgen Klopp brought him to the club from Roma. Since then, the Egyptian forward has bagged 211 goals and assisted another 89 in 349 appearances.
He has been the Premier League s top scorer on three occasions, and has won the league and the Champions League with Liverpool, among other honours.
But Salah s time at Anfield could be coming to an end, with a push from the Saudi Pro League potentially being reignited after a huge bid to land him was turned down last summer.
According to Wyness, Liverpool have a big…
Man Utd have been offered the opportunity to sign unwanted Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell this summer, according to reports.
The Red Devils have already signed Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui this summer, while they seem likely to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Manuel Ugarte before the transfer deadline.
that Man Utd are now unlikely to sign a new left-back but a chance to sign Chelsea and England defender Chilwell could prove too good an opportunity to miss.
With Chelsea keen to offload the 27-year-old, the Red Devils would be in a strong negotiating position, while a move would see Chilwell battling it out with fellow England left-back Shaw.
Man Utd have been offered the chance to sign Chilwell ahead of the tran…
According to reports, Eddie Howe could seriously consider leaving Newcastle United if he is offered the chance to manage England.
has been Newcastle s manager since the end of November 2021. He was appointed following PIF s takeover of the Premier League club.
The 46-year-old has won 62 of his 129 games in charge across all competitions. He did a brilliant job as he helped return to the Champions League but he was under pressure last season.
The Magpies were seriously hampered by injuries last term and they struggled at times as they ended up finishing seventh in the Premier League.
Newcastle are one of the richest clubs in the world, but Financial Fair Play rules have prevented them from spending freely in the transfer market.
In the summer, New…
