James McAtee can use Under-21 Euros as a stepping stone
The 22-year-old, who featured 15 times for Pep Guardiola's side in the Premier League last season, has been selected for international duty instead of City's Club World Cup campaign in the United States – a decision Hart believes would have been a collective one. Lee Carsley has confirmed that James McAtee will be our #YoungLions captain for the #U21EURO finals ©️ — England (@England) June 6, 2025 'It would have been a team decision and it wouldn't have been one where he was frustrated and said 'I'm not going to the Club World Cup with Manchester City',' Hart, who will be part of Channel 4's presentation team for the Under-21 Euros, said on Monday about McAtee's absence from club duty. 'There's no doubt that he's putting himself in the window for Manchester City but also potentially putting himself in the window as a stepping stone because he's not at a club where they feed people in, he's at the best of the best and he'll understand that.' Team-mate Rico Lewis and Chelsea's Liam Delap, however, have committed to their clubs and will not play a part for England this summer. With Kevin De Bruyne set to leave the club, City are expected to sign midfielders Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki, sparking questions around McAtee's long-term future at the club. 'At the end of the day they (City) want the development of their players and what's best for them,' Hart added. 'That conversation would have been had, I'm sure McAtee would have had (in mind) what's right for him and he's the captain of the Under-21 team and playing real minutes. 'The best thing for him is to play well at the highest level, he can do that and I think that's a great opportunity.' :: England Under-21s opening game vs Czech Republic Under-21s on June 12 is live from 7.30pm on Channel 4, where you can find all England matches throughout the tournament

Next Brentford manager odds make little-known candidate favourite
The favourite to be Brentford's next manager would not only be taking his first role in charge of a Premier League club, but in charge of any club at all. Thomas Frank is the hot favourite to become the next Tottenham boss after the dismissal of Ange Postecoglou. The Dane has been in charge of the Bees since 2018 and done a fantastic job, leading them up from the Championship and establishing them as a consistent force in the Premier League. He now looks set to move on, with Spurs making him their number one target and Frank recognising the opportunity to take charge of the Europa League winners who will return to the Champions League next season. A deal is far from done, but if Frank does indeed move across London to take charge of Spurs, he will need to be replaced. The favourite with the bookmakers to be the next Bees boss is a well established coach, but will be a new name to many Premier League fans. Justin Cochrane has been on the coaching staff with the Brentford first team since July 2022 and took up a second role with the England senior team in February this year. On that appointment in February, he said: 'It's an honour to be asked to work for the senior men's national team,' said Cochrane. 'This is a really exciting opportunity for me and I'm extremely grateful to Brentford for allowing me to take on this role.' Cochrane had a 13-year playing career in the lower leagues but has stepped up a level after moving into coaching. He worked in the Tottenham academy, coached England up to Under-17 level, then became head of player development and coaching at Manchester United in 2021. Now after his time as Frank's assistant and working with Thomas Tuchel, he is being tipped to take over the top job at Brentford. Justin Cochrane 4/7 Kieran McKenna 7/2 Kjetil Knutsen 8/1 Danny Rohl 8/1 Michael Carrick 12/1 Edin Terzic 16/1 Steven Gerrard 16/1 Sean Dyche 16/1 Steve Copper 16/1 Gary O'Neil 16/1 Marco Rose 16/1 Odds courtesy of BetVictor BetVictor make Cochrane the runaway favourite, with other candidates lagging a long way behind in the betting. Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is second-favourite, with Bodo/Glimt boss Kjetil Knutsen next in line. Other managers considered potential contenders include Danny Rohl and Michael Carrick, while the likes of Steve Cooper, Edin Terzic and Marco Rose are outsiders. Negotiations are ongoing between Spurs and Brentford over a deal for Frank. The BBC report that a compensation package could exceed £10m and will rise further if Frank wants to take members of his staff with him. A deal looks likely to be struck, though, with reports even suggesting that Frank is already trying to influence transfer policy at Tottenham. With Bryan Mbeumo a target for Manchester United this summer, Frank has reportedly told Spurs to do their best to beat the Red Devils to sign the Brentford forward.

'Manning will improve performances and results'
Liam Manning's ability to overachieve and improve both performances and results were key to his arrival at Norwich City, according to sporting director Ben former Bristol City boss has signed a four-year contract at Carrow Road having led the Robins to the Championship play-offs last season."With Liam we have someone who knows the league and has demonstrated an ability to overachieve consistently in his career so far and plays with the requisite flexibility which we lacked last year," said Knapper."We've followed his career and I've got some close connections to Liam as well so was aware of him before he took a head coach role but last year was a big step and drew us to him even more." Norwich finished 13th last season, 11 points adrift of the play-offs, and sacked Johannes Hoff Thorup in April after less than a year in leaving the role the Dane believed there were mixed messages on whether to prioritise player development over results and said he would have done some things differently. "Had the communication from the start been that we should reach the top six and be one of the play-off clubs, then we would probably have made some other decisions along the way," Thorup told Danish sports magazine is convinced the new boss can build a competitive squad while aligning with the club's ambitions."We've got big ambitions here at this club that the owners are clear about - we're all here to achieve some big things and the only way we're going to do that is with results," he said.
