🚨 BREAKING: Anthony Taylor announces retirement from refereeing. Englishman officiated 831 games across 2 decades (including every domestic cup final) & bows out aged 47 after taking charge of #Portugal vs #Spain in last-16 of #FIFAWorldCup @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/EW75W55pAy

🚨 Aston Villa discussing deal to sign Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea. Talks for 22yo winger loan + conditional buy obligation. Unai Emery driving #AVFC move - wanted Argentine before #CFC & now. Unrelated to Rogers transfer. W/ @J_Tanswell @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/op2dUxGdC4

[Sully @SullyTalkz]

Tynan Thompson will be involved in preseason games with #MUFC's first team & once he settles in, he may be used a LW option in the coming season. He's easily top 3 talents at #THFC & one of the best English attacking prospects. #MUFC beat other suitors with a strong proposal 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌟

2 - Kevin Keegan is the only English player to win the Ballon d'Or on multiple occasions, claiming the title in 1978 & 1979.

Legend.

Manchester United announce signing of Tynan Thompson from Tottenham. Left winger, 18, set to go into first-team training. Similar to Ayden Heaven deal.

#MUFC paying £4m guaranteed + £4m in add-ons depending on senior progress. Spurs have 15% sell-on ⬇️

@anticlickbaiter Rodri was great in 8 games as well not just the final, also playing a major part in how Spain defended and controlled each game as well. Messi came close, but when it came to final performance, Rodri edges it

[Nick the Red @UnitedFever]

'Heading in a very dark direction' coz your favourite player did not win . Sounds like a child throwing toys out of his pram

[Paulbull @PaulSSYS]

This sport is heading in a VERY dark direction. “Best player” now just means best player of the team that won. Great wc by Rodri, not close to Messi who had one of if not the greatest tournament oat

[Nick the Red @UnitedFever]

That's why he's called 'Tucheliban'

[Ace🥤 @speeds_c]

Look at how shit Argentina look when they’re getting pressed, all this game is showing me is just how bitch made Tuchel is

[Nick the Red @UnitedFever]

@anticlickbaiter Agree he had a great tournament, but did not show up in the final game when it mattered. Giving him best player after that horrible team performance would be injustice to Spain

[Nick the Red @UnitedFever]

Have been reading this nonsense a lot on here. 'Match fixing', 'corruption'. If this was the case, USA should have won the World cup

[ParaPower Mapping @KlonnyPin_Gosch]

If anything is abundantly clear, it’s that Argentina didn’t deserve to be in the final and that they progressed as far as they did because they were the beneficiaries of repeated instances of match fixing & FIFA corruption

[Nick the Red @UnitedFever]

RT @ChrisWheelerDM: Deal understood to be worth up to £8m - £4m + £4m in add-ons with a 20% sell-on clause for Spurs #mufc

[SCOOP. @AcademyScoop]

Manchester United have announced the signing of 18-year-old Tynan Thompson from Tottenham Hotspur.

The highly regarded left-winger technically joins as a first-team player, but may feature for United’s under-21s to ease his transition, similar to Ayden Heaven last February.

[Nick the Red @UnitedFever]

City had the best pick of the Spanish players and the rest mostly stay or end up at Barca and Madrid

[United Peoples TV @unitedpeoplestv]

I’m a BIG advocate for this. 🇪🇸

[Marko Jukic @mmjukic]

Can anyone explain to me why FIFA keeps marketing Spain with Lamine Yamal, who has scored just 1 goal the entire tournament, and not with Mikel Oyarzabal who has scored 5 goals?

[Colin Millar @Millar_Colin]

Since May 2001, Spanish teams have played non-Spanish teams in 23 finals across the Champions League, Europa League, World Cup, European Championship. The Spanish side has won all 23 finals.

[Nick the Red @UnitedFever]

Spain have been dominating football since that generational Barca team led by Pep and La Masia explosion. Coaches, players, national and grassroot levels all aligned and organised in one philosophy and style. This is a movement and revolution spanning 2 decades

[Sam Dean @SamJDean]

Spain have won two World Cups and three European Championships since 2008. Spanish teams have won nine Champions Leagues and nine Europa Leagues in that time. Spanish coaches won the Champions League, Europa League, Ligue 1 and Premier League last season. Total dominance.

[Nick the Red @UnitedFever]

Agree. Cannot understand this PR Yamal has rn.

[The Devil's DNA @TheDevilsDNA]

I haven't heard this said often so I'll say it. But I think Cubarsi is as talented and as important to Spain & Barcelona as Lamine Yamal. Attacker bias probably preventing us from seeing a supremely talented player at such a young age being absolutely key for prominent NT & club.

This might be Messi's last WC. It was an honour watching the greatest player ever.
