A glass sculpture and medals have been stolen from the Munich air disaster memorial at Manchesterplatz. The foundation says the thieves cannot steal our memories, and they are right.
Youri Tielemans says the Manchester United squad don't want Michael Carrick replaced and need stability. Fine words, but the backing now puts the onus on the players at Chelsea.
Michael Carrick says he needs no assurances about his future and that there's "no decision to be made" on the captaincy. What he said, and what it tells us before Chelsea.
Benjamin Šeško is expected to miss the rest of 2026 with a shin injury. Zirkzee is the only natural No 9 left, and the false nine hasn't worked.
Martínez hasn't travelled, Yoro is banned and Carrick says De Ligt is ready. Team news, Fabregas's Como, our predicted XI and why the comeback can't wait.
Carrick ditched his 4-2-3-1 and got our best half of the season at Elland Road. Then Martínez went off, Leeds won a corner and the old fragility came back.
Mbeumo scored, Bentancur saw red, and United still couldn't see out a win against a Spurs side who'd managed two league goals all season.
A goal conceded before the clock hit one minute, two chances spurned by Mbeumo and a late red for Yoro. United were second best in Madrid and it wasn't close.
Carrick confirms Martínez is in the Leeds squad and says the row is closed. Shaw and Mainoo remain doubts. Elland Road still looks like the worst trip possible.
£155m on three midfielders and nothing at left-back. With Shaw and Dorgu both out, United go to Chelsea without a specialist left-back in the squad.
