Manchester United are working hard on their future plans, but their biggest decision on the top job at the club is yet to be made. Current manager Erik Ten Hag saw his side finish their home league campaign on a successful note courtesy of a 3-2 win over Newcastle United, which still gives them a chance of a top-six finish. United’s final Premier League clash is at Brighton on Sunday before they take on rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final, and their performance at Wembley – which could decide whether they are in Europe next season, could have a major say on whether Ten Hag stays in his ...

HITC understands that Kylian Mbappe and Real Madrid are finalising the details of his move to the Spanish capital and when the announcement of his arrival will be confirmed. Sources have confirmed to HITC that Mbappe agreed to move to Madrid in January, although the final details have been hammered out in recent months.

The Pittodrie side will have to settle for a place in the bottom six of the Scottish Premiership having sacked Barry Robson while also seeing his successor Neil Warnock leave the club too. But Miovski has fired in 24 goals for the club this season [Transfermarkt] and Aberdeen could have b...

Will Arne Slot take the Erik ten Hag route? Or will Liverpool, with former sporting director and renowned talenspotter Michael Edwards now back at Anfield in a new CEO of Football role, look a bit further afield for new signings at the start of the post-Jurgen Klopp era? It would not all that surprising if the latter rings true. Ten Hag bringing a series of former players with him to Manchester United – Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez and Antony but also one-time Liverpool target Sofyan Amrabat too – was not just a classic case of a manager turning to those he knows and trusts, but also of a cl...
