🚨🎙️ | Leny Yoro on his own development:
"Sometimes people forget I'm still ONLY 20 years-old.
“I still have to learn, still have to improve, I know my POTENTIAL. I know I can learn a lot, I can improve a lot.
“So I hope this season is going to be a big, big step for me as well."
🚨 UEFA pushing for a blanket revocation of written support for Gianni Infantino from its members, while Victor Montagliani emerging as a serious contender for FIFA President.
Chaos within FIFA's leadership as Infantino yet to communicate next steps.

Carrick is very much a 'Spanish-like' manager and I think that's really exciting for United.
He values 'technicians' enormously. A profile of player who aren't usually given their plaudits in England.
It's going to be very different to what we've seen previously.
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Luis Campos has revealed one of his unique scouting methods.
🗣️ "Sometimes I send two scouts to the same match without them knowing they're both watching it.
"I love comparing their reports. I don't let them share information because I don't want them to influence each other. I want their opinions to be as honest and pure as possible.
"I call them my super scouts. I also scout the scouts by choosing them. They are special people."
🚨 BREAKING: FIFA senior advisor Carlos Cordeiro has quit over Gianni Infantino’s FFE plans.
As revealed on @talkSPORT last night, Infantino has lost support from his inner circle.
🗣️ Cordeiro: “As a Senior Advisor to the FIFA President, a former banker, and a lifelong football fan, I cannot stand by while FIFA considers selling a stake in the World Cup.
“Let me be clear: I had no involvement in this proposal, and I oppose it unequivocally. It is a bad deal for FIFA's Member Associations, a bad deal for football, and a bad deal for the long-term future of the game.”
🚨 BREAKING: All 41 Concacaf members have rejected Gianni Infantino's FIFA Forward Enterprise plans.
"Concacaf is a confederation united by the love of our game, where football comes first. Guided by this philosophy over the past ten years we have built, from the ground up, an organization founded on service, transparent governance, and the long-term stewardship of football.
"History has shown FIFA and the football family what happens when the custodians of the game lose sight of these values.
"With this in mind, Concacaf today convened a meeting of the presidents of its 41 Member Associations, together with its President, Council members, and its FIFA Council members, to discuss a proposal developed and presented by the FIFA President to establish ‘FIFA Forward Enterprise’ and sell interests in the FIFA World Cup to private investors.
"During the meeting, the membership expressed deep concerns about the lack of due process surrounding the proposal, the artificially short deadline imposed, and the absence of any review or approval by the relevant FIFA governance bodies. In addition, the need for private equity investment to fund new and existing FIFA Forward programs following the most profitable FIFA World Cup in history was questioned.
"The discussion reinforced the need for greater transparency and proper governance.
"For these reasons, Concacaf and its 41 Member Associations have:
'- Rejected the proposal;
- Tasked their FIFA Council Members with engaging FIFA to determine how existing FIFA reserves could be used to increase FIFA Forward funding for football development across our region; and
- Tasked their FIFA Council Members with instructing the FIFA President to ensure that any matter follows the proper governance processes via staff and FIFA Council, in accordance with the FIFA Statutes.'
"Through these actions, Concacaf reaffirms that football's future—and its greatest asset—must remain in the hands of our football family."
Signing Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi to replace Rodri and Bernardo Silva is just top, top movement from City.
No hiding from it, and it’s exactly why they won’t suffer a post-SAF-like fall-off after Pep. Not a chance.
Most people just know the Cristiano who was a goal machine at Real Madrid not the magical winger he was at United doing almost everything #mufc he was a better PLAYER at United..At real Madrid he was more of a great goalscorer...#realmadrid
Had Cristiano Ronaldo stayed at Old Trafford instead of pursuing his dream to play for Real Madrid, the boy from Madeira could have easily topped this list as Manchester United's greatest.
Replacing David Beckham, he became a hero, a commercial behemoth that helped the club to further prominence in the global consciousness.
He became the first United player to win the Ballon d’Or since the triumvirate of George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton in the 1960s.
Multiple players said he was the most talented that they had played with, just as many fans said he was the best they had seen.

Ruben Amorim has spoken about his time at United.
"I learned a lot. It would be hard to point to one thing, but the important thing that I clearly know is that I made a lot of mistakes."
An honest admission about his shortcomings #mufc

Glad I’m not sat at my desk stressing about whether United’s next signing is imminent or whether we’re just broke after last summer
Doing it here instead 🇭🇷
