Liverpool star Andy Robertson accuses Man Utd of disrespecting ‘king' in major transfer mistake
ANDY ROBERTSON has hit out at Manchester United for "disrespecting" Scott McTominay. The Scottish international was sold to Napoli last summer after being deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford. 3 3 3 McTominay, 28, was sold for just £25million but that fee has proved to be a bargain in Napoli's eyes. The midfielder has gone on to become a vital member of Antonio Conte 's team and helped them win the Serie A title. McTominay has also become a cult-hero and firm fan favourite thanks to his 13 goals in his debut campaign. And Robertson has now taken aim at the Red Devils for the decision to sell. The Liverpool star believes that the club did not show McTominay the "respect he deserves". He said: "I think he went over there with a point to prove. "I think he wanted to prove Man Utd wrong and prove people in the Premier League wrong. And he's went over there and done that pretty successfully. "That's credit to him, credit to his attitude and his determination to be the best version of himself. Now he's a king over there.

Moment Scott McTominay drinks from whisky bottle on open top bus parade Napoli "Then he goes over there, puts in a magnificent season and fair play to him, to end it with the league title. "Scott is a winner, we see that every day in training because he sets standards, looks after himself. "He talks to the young lads and tries to give off his experience." Meanwhile, Man United defender Lisandro Martinez has been linked with a reunion with McTominay. Napoli have been monitoring the Argentine's recovery from his ACL injury and could make a move for him this summer.

How Man United might line up with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in the team
Manchester United's drastic summer rebuild has begun in earnest with the £62.5m capture of Wolves' Matheus Cunha all but rubber-stamped and the pursuit of Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo in full swing. Following a disastrous season, a raft of players are set to leave the club with Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony among several high earners expected to depart, while Christian Eriksen, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans and Tom Heaton have not been offered new contracts. Question marks also hang over the futures of Rasmus Hojlund, Casemiro and Andre Onana. Ruben Amorim has at least persuaded captain Bruno Fernandes to stay at the club after strong interest from Saudi Arabia, and the coach now needs his recruitment department to work some magic with no Champions League football to lure potential signings and sales required to meet profit and sustainability rules. We know what formation Amorim will use next season, wedded as he is to 3-4-3. But which players will be in his starting XI and how will they line up? Goalkeeper Onana's season was riddled with mistakes and he briefly lost his place to back-up goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, who wasn't much better. Expect a new signing in between the posts come August, but Onana will likely continue wearing the gloves if no one arrives. Centre backs This is one part of the pitch where Amorim doesn't necessarily need reinforcements. Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro provide four decent options for three positions, while Luke Shaw and Noussair Mazraoui can slot into the wider roles if needed. Wing-backs The left side remains a concern, with Shaw lacking the fitness record to be a reliable season-long option and January signing Patrick Dorgu still looking like raw talent rather than the finished article. Harry Amass is not quite ready to step up, while it was clear throughout the campaign that Diogo Dalot does not work as an inverted wing-back on the left. A new signing may be needed. Mazraoui was one of very few United players who could say they had a positive season, and the Moroccan looked like a good solution for the right wing-back role during the latter half of the campaign. A more adventurous option out wide would be Amad Diallo, especially if new attacking reinforcements fill the advanced roles in the team. Central midfielders The midfield axis was helmed by Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte for much of the season, with mixed success, and Bruno Fernandes often found himself dropping back there later in games as Amorim made changes. With Casemiro's future up in the air, Ugarte and Fernandes seem like the most natural partnership to start the new season, while Kobbie Mainoo is another option if he can refind his form and sharpness. But a new signing is needed given the departure of Christian Eriksen. No 10s Matheus Cunha was bought for exactly this role as he seeks to drive the team forwards from the inside right channel. Who will fill the other spot? Fernandes and Amad are the most likely options from the current squad, while Bryan Mbeumo would provide some energy and goalscoring nous should he sign, and his off-ball movement would complement Cunha's dribbling and vision. Mason Mount will be another option here if he can stay fit. Striker United are actively searching for a new forward to lead the line, having failed in their pursuit of Ipswich Town's Liam Delap, now of Chelsea. Signed from Atalanta two years ago, Hojlund is being linked with a move back to Italy after a frustrating season in front of goal, while Joshua Zirkzee has so far proved a useful option rather than a leading man. Amorim will hope to have a new shiny No 9 in place when the season starts, and Mbuemo can play the role if needed.

What will Trump travel ban mean for sport?
The United States is gearing up to host the world's two biggest sporting events in the next three years, the the 2026 Fifa World Cup and 2028 Olympic are events which ordinarily see a host nation attract hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the will a new travel ban issued by US President Donald Trump have an impact on the tournaments? And what about the ban's effect on the wider world of sport?The policy places full restrictions on citizens of 12 countries entering the United States, as well as partial constraints on seven others as part of an immigration crackdown he says is needed over security the order contains an exemption that could apply to participants in the 2026 Fifa World Cup and 2028 of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics say they have "great confidence" that the ban will not disrupt the summer Games or the preparations for after a meeting with the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) co-ordination commission, LA28 chair and president Casey Wasserman said: "It was very clear in the directive that the Olympics require special consideration, and I want to thank the federal government for recognising that."It's very clear that the federal government understands that's an environment that they will be accommodating and provide for."And so we have great confidence that that will only continue."BBC Sport takes a closer look at the ban and its potential impact. Which countries does the ban affect? Passport-holders from 12 nations are now outright banned from entering the United States. They are: Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and more countries - Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela - face significant but not full restrictions on four of the travel ban includes a clear exemption for sports stars travelling to those competitions - and other "major" sporting says "any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics, or other major sporting event as determined by the secretary of state" can still travel to the US."Two hundred and six countries are preparing to come to the Games," said Nicole Hoevertsz, an IOC vice president who chairs the LA28 coordination commission."The federal government has given us that guarantee … to make sure that these participants will be able to enter the country… We are very confident that this is going to be accomplished."As well as the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles, the USA will also co-host the Fifa World Cup in 2026, alongside Canada and Mexico. What key detail has been left out of the announcement for athletes? The text means that those participating in the two major global sports events the US will host during Trump's second term will still be able to travel. But the lack of detail around other sporting events throws open a series of important, and as yet unanswered, State Department has offered no further clarification or measurement criteria for what Secretary of State Marco Rubio will or will not consider a "major sporting event"."I think people from around the world, and Americans going to these events, would want to see actions like this," said US state department spokesperson Tommy Pigott at a press briefing on Thursday afternoon."This is part of what it means to host an event. We take security concerns extremely seriously, we want people to be able to go to the World Cup and do so safely."The Concacaf Gold Cup, for example, begins in the USA on 15 June and Haiti are due to participate. But given the travel ban does not list the Gold Cup (which features North America, Central America and Caribbean nations) as among the exempted major events, their participation is now in phrasing 'World Cup' is also unclear. The revamped Fifa Club World Cup, featuring 32 of the world's best club teams, will take place in the USA from 14 June to 13 July. 10 players from countries under travel restriction are on the books of the competing clubs, but whether the tournament is included in the exemption or not has not yet been track and field athletes often travel to the USA to participate in training camps in preparation for major meets. Though the exemptions make clear that athletes from the affected countries can travel to the Olympics in 2028, it makes no mention of their ability to attend camps in the time before BBC has contacted the US State department for a response. Are fans exempt from the travel ban? Fans from the restricted countries have not been given an exemption for major sports for example, have already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, while the likes of Haiti, Sudan and Venezuela also stand a chance of have already been concerns over the length of time the citizens of some countries were being made to wait for US travel visas to be processed and granted. And now fans of all of those teams will be unable to travel to the tournament, as things stand. It could be argued that the restriction means those teams will suffer a competitive disadvantage, given their rivals will be able to draw on support from the asked if he was worried that ticket sales for the LA Games could be affected, Wasserman said "no". What about athletes from barred countries who play in the USA? The proclamation does not make clear what will happen to athletes who are citizens of barred countries but currently work in the NBA, MLB and MLS all feature players who are citizens of countries now placed on the travel ban list – how those players can continue to play in the USA is football, for example, nine Venezuelans are currently on the books of clubs in Major League Soccer. Three of them – Ronald Hernandez of Philadelphia Union, David Martinez of Los Angeles FC, Josef Martinez of San Jose Earthquakes – are due to take part in international fixtures abroad over the next the time they return to the USA, travel restrictions on Venezuelans will be in place. It is not clear whether the three, and other athletes employed by US teams across all sports, will be allowed to return after travelling abroad to compete or visit BBC has contacted the NBA, MLB and MLS. Has Trump banned athletes before? During his first term in office, Trump enacted a sweeping travel ban on some countries, most of which had majority Muslim populations. At the time, the MLS Players Union said it was "deepy concerned" about members that may be impacted and that it was "extremely disappointed".Trump's anti-immigration policies have also prevented some athletes from other nations taking part in scheduled events held in the 2017 the Tibetan women's soccer team were denied US visas to attend the Dallas Cup in Texas. In 2019 nine players from the Guatemalan Under-15 national soccer team were denied entry to participate in the Under-15 Concacaf Championship, and Cuba captain Yordan Santa Cruz was denied a visa for the 2019 Gold 2017 football's world governing body Fifa warned Trump that travel bans could hinder the USA's joint bid for the 2026 World Cup. Fifa president Gianni Infantino said: "It's obvious when it comes to Fifa competitions, any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access to the country, otherwise there is no World Cup. The requirements will be clear."That ban was eventually overturned by Trump's successor Joe Biden in April there were concerns that Duke University basketball star Khaman Maluach could face possible deportation after the US revoked all visas of South Sudanese passport-holders and he was advised to not leave the country in case he could not re-enter. Does the travel ban break Fifa rules? In the years since that climbdown, Infantino appears to have been keen to cosy up to Fifa president attended Trump's inauguration in January and was seen applauding and laughing during the Republican's speech alongside tech billionaires including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff speech - given by Trump after he was sworn in for his second term as president – included negative comments about neighbouring Canada and Mexico, the USA's World Cup the week of the inauguration, Infantino made a series of glowing social media posts about Trump, including writing "Donald Trump and I share a great friendship" in an Instagram caption. In total, Infantino posted about Trump nine times in less than a then accompanied Trump on the latter's state visit to Saudi Arabia, before drawing the ire of Uefa and other continental bodies by delaying the start of the Fifa congress in Paraguay in order to hold a private meeting with BBC has put questions about the travel ban to Fifa and the IOC.
