England will send a record six teams into the Champions League next season, further fueling the wealthy Premier League's financial power over the rest of Europe. Manchester United and Tottenham advanced Thursday to an all-English final of the second-tier Europa League, with the winner of that match earning a place in the next Champions League where the prize money is typically four times greater. Man United and Tottenham's good results in Europe while struggling badly in the Premier League also contributed to English clubs' collectively strong season. Chelsea also advanced Thursday to the final of the third-tier Conference League and will play Real Betis. The weight of money in the Premier League means that even malfunctioning teams such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham have budgets that are multiples of those of the clubs with which they are competing, said Kieran Maguire, a soccer finance expert from The Price of Football podcast. Premier League teams had weeks ago .

Manchester United unveiled plans on Tuesday to build the world's greatest soccer stadium. A proposed 100,000-seater arena, costing around 2 billion pounds ($2.6 billion), would be built next to United's current Old Trafford home and surpass Wembley Stadium as the biggest in the United Kingdom. Manchester United is the world's most favorite football club and, in my view, is the biggest and deserves a stadium fitting of its stature, part owner Jim Ratcliffe said. Work could begin as early as this year, with completion by the 2030-31 season, the club said. Ratcliffe, who is one of Britain's richest people, said the new venue could be a tourist attraction in the manner of the Eiffel Tower. We have 1 billion people around the world who follow Manchester United. They will all want to visit this stadium, he said. Designed by British architect Norman Foster, the first released images of the stadium include three giant tentpoles that would be seen from 40 kilometers (25 miles) away. They
A stunning double save from David Raya denied Bruno Fernandes a dramatic late winner for Manchester United against Arsenal in the Premier League. Raya's heroics salvaged a 1-1 draw for Arsenal at Old Trafford but its Premier League title looks all but out of reach with runaway leader Liverpool 15 points clear at the top of the standings. "I don't want to say that, but today the frustration is that we haven't won our game. We know the urgency and we are obligated to win every single match," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said after watching his team drop points for a third straight league game. And it could have been worse for second-placed Arsenal if not for Raya's brilliance. In added time the goalkeeper flung himself in front of Fernandes' effort from close range and then leapt to his feet to claw the spinning ball away just before it crossed the line. Chelsea moved up to fourth in the standings after a 1-0 win against Leicester and Tottenham battled back from two goals down to dra

Manchester United expects to make up to a further 200 jobs redundant as part of cost-cutting measures after five straight years of losses, the club said Monday. United made around 250 roles redundant in a first wave of savings last year after British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe paid $1.3 billion for an initial 25% stake in the club and assumed control of its soccer operations. Now, as part of what United called a transformation plan," the club anticipates that approximately 150-200 jobs may be made redundant, subject to a consultation process with employees. We have a responsibility to put Manchester United in the strongest position to win across our men's, women's and academy teams, United chief executive Omar Berrada said. We are initiating a wide-ranging series of measures which will transform and renew the club. Unfortunately, this means announcing further potential redundancies and we deeply regret the impact on those affected colleagues. However, these hard choices are necessar
Manchester United forward Amad Diallo has sustained an ankle injury that will rule him out for a number of weeks, the club said Sunday. Diallo picked up the injury during training this week. Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season, he posted on X. Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury. I will come back stronger than ever!!" Diallo has been one of United's best players in a troubled season for the 20-time Premier League champion. He has scored nine goals including a late winner against Manchester City in December and an equalizer in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in January. His injury leaves United coach Ruben Amorim short of attacking options after Marcus Rashford and Antony were loaned out in the January transfer window.
Thousands of Manchester United fans gathered at Old Trafford on Tuesday to pay tribute to Denis Law ahead of the club great's funeral. Law, the only Scottish player to win the Ballon d'Or, died last month at the age of 84. Alex Ferguson and Ruben Amorim, the past and present managers of United, were among those expected to attend the funeral at Manchester Cathedral. Before that, a cortege was starting at Old Trafford and fans lined the concourse at United's stadium to pay their respects to Law, who played 404 games for United and scored 237 times a goal total bettered by only Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney. To a backdrop of applause, the procession went around the stadium and stopped briefly at the Trinity Statue that commemorates Law, Charlton and George Best, the three-pronged strike force which led United to English league titles in 1965 and 1967 and the European Cup in 1968 a first for an English club. The lead car in the cortege had a Scottish flag in its rear window. Flags
This will mark Leicester's third visit to Old Trafford this season, having suffered heavy losses in both the Carabao Cup and Premier League, conceding eight goals.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim let Marcus Rashford leave the club because he couldn't convince the forward to follow his methods. I couldn't put Marcus to see the way you're supposed to play football and to train the way I see it, Amorim said in quotes published late Thursday. The 27-year-old Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan the day before Europe's winter transfer window closed, having not played for United since mid-December. He could make his debut for Villa on Sunday on an FA Cup match against Tottenham. Sometimes you have one player that is really good with one coach, and the same player with another coach is different, Amorim said. I just wish the best to Rashford and to (Villa manager) Unai Emery, and they can connect because he's a very good player. Asked whether Rashford said that he did not agree with Amorim's ideas about soccer, Amorim said: You know, like me, that it's not the way that occurs. It's something that you feel as a coach and as a player. It's qui
Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez is set for another long spell out of action after Manchester United confirmed he has a cruciate ligament injury on Thursday. Martinez was in tears last Sunday when he was carried off on a stretcher in the 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League after landing awkwardly attempting to tackle Ismaila Sarr. United didn't say how long Martinez would be missing. "Assessment of the injury is ongoing to determine the appropriate course of treatment and the timescale for his rehabilitation," United said. United said the club wishes Martinez "strength for a successful recovery," adding: "We will be supporting him every step of the way." Martinez had an injury-hit campaign last season, including time out with knee ligament damage and a foot problem. Argentina's next games are World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Brazil in March. The Albiceleste are top of the standings for the South American zone, five points clear of Uruguay.
It has been almost two months since Marcus Rashford was seen on a soccer field. In that time, his dedication to the game has been derided, his status as one of England's most cherished players has been damaged, and he has been ushered out of his boyhood club the team of his dreams in quite brutal fashion. It's time to discover if new surroundings can ignite his career. Fitness permitting, Rashford is expected to make his debut for Aston Villa on Sunday in an FA Cup fourth-round match against Tottenham, a week after completing his loan move from Manchester United. Who knows what shape Rashford is in, physically or mentally, after an unhappy last few months at United where its new coach, Ruben Amorim, accused the striker of not putting in the requisite effort in practice. Amorim even suggested he would rather play his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach than someone who didn't train hard, clearly referring to Rashford. That comment surely marked the end for Rashford at United, at least
