Manchester United
Starting with the hosts, while Manchester United might have opened May in the midst of a minor wobble, Erik ten Hag’s side have come roaring back over the past week. Last seen claiming a gritty 1-0 victory away at Bournemouth, the former Ajax boss knows that just a single point here would be enough to clinch a lucrative Champions League return. Now securing back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since the start of April, United will be smelling the chance to make a real statement here. Relishing a return to Old Trafford on Thursday night, a huge part of the Re…
English football will hope a typically rousing weekend of Premier League action can take some of the sting out of the country s failure to win the right to stage the 2018 World Cup.
Thursday s FIFA ballot in Zurich and the subsequent revelation England had won just two votes, were a kick in the teeth for football s birthplace.
But the global appeal of the Premier League remains undimmed and this weekend is likely to witness another intriguing chapter in the title race, with just six points separating the top five ahead of the latest round of matches.
Manchester United s bid to maintain their position on the top of the Premier League with victory at Blackpool on Saturday however has been scuppered by the freezing temperatures in England.
United are two po…

Manchester United and Tottenham are both looking to win their first-ever Women s FA Cup title when they meet in the final at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

Lee Carsley has recalled Dominic Solanke to the England squad for their upcoming Nations League matches against Greece and Finland.
Solanke s only previous call-up came when he was at Liverpool back in 2017, earning his sole cap as a substitute against Brazil.
Despite missing the start of the season through injury, he has made a fine start to life at Tottenham and has scored in each of his last three matches in all competitions.
Dom s a player I m fully aware of having worked with him in the past, said Carsley.
He was really close to being in the last squad but got injured just before selection. He did so well at Bournemouth, and now he s taken that form into Spurs. He s extremely talented, and it s good that we ve got him.
Ready to go again.

Josh Wolff believes Austin FC s new signings have given them a much-needed boost and hopes that will carry on against Vancouver Whitecaps on Saturday.
Austin added Mikkel Desler, Oleksandr Svatok and Osman Bukari, who scored in their 2-0 win over Nashville SC last time out, helping to snap a three-match winless streak.
It means they sit ninth in the Western Conference, though only have a one-point advantage over the two teams sitting just below them.
However, Wolff says he is excited to see how the team continues to grow in the second half of the season.
The guys that we got in the summer have performed well and that helps create better overall performances for the team and creates competition in the group and I think it s helped us immensely, he said.
