Ruben Amorim says Manchester United will not let players go cheaply

'Some players have to find a new place to have more space in the team and others clearly show they want a new challenge and want new teams,' Amorim told a press conference ahead of the the Premier League Summer Series game against West Ham on Saturday.
'We are just allowing these players to have time to think and to decide. If we reach a point where they have to join the team, they will join the team because they are our players.
'I know for a fact that these people, Omar and Jason, and the club have a number (price) for these players. If they don't reach that, they will be Manchester United players, no doubt about that.
'I understand clubs are maybe waiting for the last minute, but they can have a surprise and I'm ready. I'm ready to receive the players.
'They have more competition – if you want to play in the World Cup you need to play, so I'm really happy with that because I have more options. If they have to fight each other to play, for me it is perfect.'
United have spent about £130million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon but are still in the market for a defensive midfielder and a striker.
However, previous mis-steps on transfers mean United are being more circumspect this summer.
'At the moment, our club needs to be really careful when we sign a player,' added Amorim.
'So if we have to start the season with this squad, I'm happy because all the players that are here want to be here – and that for me is the most important thing.'

England crowned Euro 2025 champions after beating Spain on penalties
England have retained their European title after beating Spain 3-1 on penalties in the Euro 2025 final. The Lionesses went down in the first half after a header by Spain's Mariona Caldentey in the 25th minute, but they pulled it back with a goal from her Arsenal teammate Alessia Russo to finish the match 1-1 following extra time. They then went on to beat the world champions after a tense penalty shoot-out, with Chloe Kelly firing in the winner. England fans had watched on nervously as they once again found themselves behind in a crucial Euros tie. Fans draped in England flags joined the Prince of Wales and his daughter, Princess Charlotte, in holding their heads in their hands as Caldentey put Spain 1-0 up in the final on Sunday. A nervous atmosphere transformed into a jubilant one at Boxpark Croydon as Russo's header found the net, with England flags being waved and supporters hugging each other during the celebrations. Fans across the country watched nervously as the Lionesses then took to the penalty spot, but they came out on top, beating Spain 3-1. Hannah Hampton made several spectacular saves in the shootout before Kelly netted the dramatic winner after Sama Paralluelo's miss. This was the Lionesses' third major consecutive final - and the third time they have faced Spain this year. England were the last team to defeat Spain earlier this year at Wembley, but they played again in June, and then the Lionesses lost a tight contest. This was the first time a Women's World Cup final has been repeated in the following Women's Euros, according to UEFA. However, it has happened the other way round, with Germany beating Sweden in the Euros, followed by the World Cup in 2001.

Marcus Rashford makes Barcelona debut during friendly win in Japan
The 27-year-old, who has joined the Catalan club from Manchester United on a season-long loan, was introduced at half-time before being withdrawn after 78 minutes. Rashford had an effort saved during his first outing for Hansi Flick's side, who took the win courtesy of goals from Eric Garcia, Roony Bardghji and academy star Pedro Fernandez. New guy looked sharp out there — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 27, 2025 Bardghji, another summer arrival from Copenhagen, put Barcelona back in front after Taisei Miyashiro had levelled for the hosts. Spain star Lamine Yamal, 18, was presented with Barcelona's famous number 10 shirt – previously worn by the likes of Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi – before kick-off. Flick, quoted on Barcelona's website, explained why Rashford only played for 33 minutes, saying: 'He's a week behind the others. He hasn't been training as much with the ball, and we want to look after him.' Rashford, in a Barca video shown by Sky Sports News, said: 'Good performance, good to play in front of the fans, good (for) fitness. So I'm looking forward to the next games. Marcus Rashford reacts to making his first appearance for Barcelona in their pre-season win over Vissel Kobe in Japan 💪 {Credit: Barcelona} — Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) July 27, 2025 'Pleased that we could win the game today but of course the most important thing is just settling in and, for the team, getting the patterns in and playing good football and I thought we did that in both halves. 'It's difficult in games like that where you change the team at half-time, but I thought we did well.' He added: 'The reason I'm here is to help the team try to win. So I'm going to listen to whatever information I need to listen to and try to put it into the game and help the team go forward. 'I can play over different positions. It's one of my strengths, to play across the front line. I'll play where the team needs me and try to score goals and create goals from those positions.'

England win Euro 2025 despite new penalty rule that could have cost Lionesses everything
Beth Mead was forced to retake her opening penalty in the Euro 2025 final against Spain after slipping and kicking the ball twice - and was then denied from the spot. The incident was similar to the one involving Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez in the Champions League earlier this season: his goal was ruled out, though a new rule has since been implemented to allow 'double touch' kicks to be retaken rather than instantly being ruled out. The IFAB amended the rules with article 14.1 of the laws of the game which reads: 'The kicker must not play the ball again until it has touched another player. The penalty kick is completed when the ball stops moving, goes out of play or the referee stops play for any offence.' That meant Mead was given the chance to retake her penalty. She was then thwarted from the spot the second time around by Cata Coll. But Hannah Hampton saved two penalties in a row to help England clinch a stunning 3-1 victory on penalties. Chloe Kelly, so often the England hero during this tournament and ultimate matchwinner three years ago, stepped up to plunder the winning penalty to help the Lionesses make history by retaining their European crown. Her winning penalty sparked jubilant scenes on the pitch and in the stands in Switzerland, capping another remarkable comeback from England. The result means the Lionesses have extracted a measure of revenge on Spain, who beat them in the 2023 World Cup final.
