Mason Mount sends two-word message as Man Utd transfer finally completed
Matheus Cunha has completed his £62.5m move to Manchester United from Wolves, and his new team-mate Mason Mount has already sent a welcome message on social media Mason Mount has taken to social media to send his best wishes to Matheus Cunha following his official move to Manchester United. After the end of the Premier League campaign, the Red Devils didn't waste time swooping in for the Brazilian, activating his hefty £62.5million release clause from Wolves. Cunha emerged as a key figure this past season under Vitor Pereira, notching up 15 top-flight goals and six assists, which played a significant part in keeping his side's Premier League hopes alive as they finished in 16th place. Thursday saw United tie up all loose ends, confirming that the 26-year-old forward has committed to a five-year deal at Old Trafford. Mount, who formerly starred for Chelsea before swapping flags for United two years ago in a deal worth an initial £55m, then posted a heartwarming welcome to Cunha on Instagram. The English playmaker uploaded a picture of new signing Cunha penning his deal and captioned it with a heartfelt message: "Welcome brother!" Overcome with joy at his new chapter, Cunha expressed his fulfillment of his lifelong ambition as a youngster in Brazil, and revealed his aim is to help Ruben Amorim's side get back to the top. "It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player," Cunha admitted after his recruitment was made official. "Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. "I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality. I can't wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my team-mates and prepare for the season ahead. "All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top," concluded the Brazilian. United's director of football, Jason Wilcox, also couldn't hide his delight as he said (via the Manchester Evening News): "Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window. "He has proved his ability to succeed in the Premier League as one of the most exciting and productive forwards in England during his time at Wolves, and, before that, in Spain and Germany. "He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours."

World Cup of Darts team-mates ignored each other on stage as feud escalated
Dimitri Van den Bergh and Kim Huybrechts formed one of the most explosive partnerships in World Cup of Darts history, but they won't play together at the 2025 event One of the most infamous pairings in World Cup of Darts history has been broken up. For the first time at the event, which is underway in Frankfurt, Belgian No.1 Dimitri Van den Bergh and World Grand Prix champion Mike De Decker have teamed up for their country as they bid to topple overwhelming favourites, Luke Littler and Luke Humphries of England. At the last two tournaments, Van den Bergh has been paired with Kim Huybrechts, with dramatic and hilarious consequences. Prior to the start of the 2023 event, unbeknownst to most observers, the pair had had a spectacular falling out and were not on speaking terms. And they made no secret of their animosity towards each other during their opening match, a 4-0 win against Finland. The pair couldn't even bring themselves to look at each other during the tie. At the end of the game, there was no handshake or hug. Instead, as Van den Bergh danced around the stage in customary fashion, Huybrechts made a hasty exit. Realising they had embarrassed themselves and Belgian darts, the pair released a statement, vowing to put on a more united front in their next matches. The statement said: 'Following last night's win at the My Diesel Claim World Cup of Darts, we have sat down to discuss our recent differences. 'Whilst some issues remain to be resolved in the fullness of time, we are both fully committed to doing our best as a team to win the World Cup of Darts for Belgium, and to represent ourselves, our families and our country in the best light. That begins with tonight's game against China, and our focus is now on preparing for that match as a team." Amid speculation over the root of their feud, there were claims it stemmed from Van den Bergh making a complaint to the PDC about Huybrechts. The pair did indeed manage to put their differences aside for the rest of the tournament. Having given each other the cold shoulder, the pair looked like bosom buddies in their following matches. High-fives and hugs were suddenly the order of the day, much to the amusement of watching fans. Their newfound camaraderie threatened to take them all the way, but eventual champions Wales ended their dramatic run at the semi-final stage. However, that run failed to bring them closer together and on the eve of last year's tournament, Van den Bergh revealed that he and Huybrechts were still at odds. He told Sky Sports: 'I wasn't interested in anything of that. Everybody needs to know that me and Kim are not best friends, and that's period.' As a result, speculation was rife over how they could co-exist at the 2024 event. Speaking after their group stage win over Singapore, Van den Bergh attempted to play down their rift, saying: 'We're here for Belgium. We have learned a lot from last year. We haven't showed the best in the first game last year and this year we're in the position to say we've got to grow up, we've got to be adults. 'We've got a whole load of pressure on ourselves. What is that, our national colours. That means so much more to us as a person and in that case that means even more to us as a country. That's what we're doing and need to be doing, and that's being professional.' The pair made it through to the last four again, only to suffer a heavy defeat to Austria in what could be the last time they join forces following the emergence of De Decker, who is now Belgium's top-ranked player, just ahead of Van den Bergh, while Huybrechts has tumbled down the rankings. This year, fifth seeds Belgium are in Group B with Latvia and the Philippines. The winners of each group advance to the second round, where the top four seeds, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, enter the competition.

Kevin De Bruyne's three-word message after joining Napoli from Man City
Kevin De Bruyne has decided to join Napoli on a free transfer from Manchester City, with the Belgian now looking to help them retain their Serie A title next season Kevin De Bruyne has issued a three-word message after completing his free transfer from Manchester City to Napoli. The Belgian spent a decade at the Etihad Stadium, lifting six Premier League titles and the Champions League in a treble-winning season. But City decided to allow him to leave when his contract expired this summer. That was against De Bruyne's wishes, with the 33-year-old caught by surprise by the club's decision to let him go. The midfielder was linked with a move to Major League Soccer side Inter Miami. A deal with Lionel Messi's side did not come to fruition, with De Bruyne instead opting to remain in Europe. The club he has decided to join is Napoli, who won the Serie A title this season. They are managed by Antonio Conte, a man De Bruyne has never played under, but who holds a reputation for being one of the best coaches in the game. The completion of the deal was announced on Thursday with a picture of De Bruyne alongside Napoli club president Aurelio De Laurentiis. Alongside the picture, De Bruyne included a short message to his new club. De Bruyne wrote: "Sono qui." That translates to 'I am here' in English. The Belgian also added a blue love heart emoji to the end of the message. Meanwhile De Laurentiis also posted the photo on his social media pages, along with the comment: "Benvenuto Kevin!" That translates into 'Welcome Kevin' in English. Napoli have won two of the last three Serie A titles, with this season's success led by former Premier League players Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay. Former Manchester United star McTominay was also named the Italian top-flight's Player of the Year. A leaving ceremony was held for De Bruyne after his final game at the Etihad. During that, the Belgian delivered an emotional speech to the crowd to thank them for their support. 'It's been unbelievable to have the 10 years that I had with everything that happened here. It's been an unbelievable ride and an absolute pleasure,' De Bruyne said. 'It was a joy working really hard to try and help create something that brought the Club the success we enjoyed. I'm super proud to have played a part in that. Manchester has been my home and my family's home for these past 10 years. 'Everybody pushed me so hard inside and outside the club to be the best version of myself. They made me so much better than I was before. 'And the City fans were so welcoming from the beginning and to have had a full stadium supporting me and family [was] indescribable. Thank you very much.'
