Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka responds to Manchester United transfer rumours
Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka has made it clear he intends to stay at the club, while addressing rumours of a potential move to Manchester United. United are aiming for a squad overhaul this summer as they try to reshape the squad to suit Ruben Amorim and his football philosophy. Advertisement So far, United's primary focus has been on bolstering the attacking department after a goal-shy 2024/25 campaign. The Red Devils have already announced the arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers while a deal for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo is believed to be close to completion. United are also in the market for a striker, with the likes of Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP), Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace), among the players mentioned to be on the club's radar. But, United's ambitions don't end there and there have been suggestions that a midfield signing is also on the cards, although this is likely dependent on player sales. Christian Eriksen is expected to officially leave the club at the end of the month when his contract expires, while Casemiro has once again attracted interest from the Saudi Pro League. Advertisement United already had a pressing need for midfield reinforcements even with Eriksen and Casemiro still on the books, but that urgency will only intensify if both players depart. According to German journalist Christian Falk, there have been 'rumours' that United are eyeing Goretzka. Goretzka has been linked to United at various stages of his career over the years but needless to say, a transfer has never materialised. At the start of Vincent Kompany's reign at Bayern, it seemed Goretzka's time at the club was coming to an end, with limited minutes on the pitch. However, he has since regained the manager's confidence and is now featuring more regularly. He made 40 appearances last term across all competitions. Advertisement On Monday, Falk spoke to the 30-year-old and directly asked him about rumours that United want him. He answered, 'I'm very focused on the tournament [Club World Cup] here and am happy to be at Bayern.' 'I want to help the team next season as well.' Goretzka's comments make it clear he isn't considering a move to Old Trafford. Likewise, there's been little to suggest United are seriously pursuing him, with other midfield targets currently taking priority.

Buccaneers Announce 'Creamsicle' Game for 2025
Buccaneers Announce 'Creamsicle' Game for 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Like it or not, and there are many who don't, Bucco Bruce is returning in 2025. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced on Tuesday that they'll bring back the Creamsicle uniforms in the Week 15 matchup next season against the division rival Atlanta Falcons at Raymond James Stadium. Advertisement The team last wore the Bucco Bruce helmet and Creamsicle jerseys against the Falcons last season in a 31-26 defeat. Some fans consider the uniforms to be bad luck, most associated with the early days of the franchise that saw little success. Tampa Bay wore the colors from the franchise's inception in 1976 through the 1996 season, then first wore them as an alternate look in 2009. From 1976-1996, the team posted a 100-223-1 record and just three winning seasons before making the switch to "Pewter Power" for the 1997 season. In 1979, Tampa Bay went 10-6 en route to a 9-0 NFC Championship game loss to the Los Angeles Rams. In 1981, they went 9-7 and lost 38-0 to the Dallas Cowboys in the Divisional Round, and then 5-4 in the strike-shortened season of 1982 before they lost to Dallas 30-17 in the Wild Card round. Advertisement That's it. Three. Three winning seasons while wearing Bucco Bruce and the Creamsicles, and no winning season or postseason appearances from 1982 until 1997 after the team changed looks. It's no wonder fans and some media believe the bad luck takes, as the evidence is almost overwhelming. Buccaneers insider, JP Peterson of the JP Peterson Show on Fan Stream Sports - Tampa Bay is one that believes in the bad luck, and questions why those colors keep coming back. 'Why are the Bucs still playing in these uniforms? They are gorgeous to wear to bars, but the Bucs are 1-6 in the Creamsicle throwback games and went 0-26 to start the franchise and then 14 straight years without making the playoffs," Peterson said. "And as soon as they switched to the 'Pewter and Red', we went to the playoffs four of the next six years! You can't win in Creamsicles, and this is a key divisional game! This is not an opinion, it's a demonstrable fact!" Advertisement Tampa Bay's in-game sideline reporter, T.J. Rives, has a different view of the Creamsicles. "As someone who grew up watching the Bucs as a teenager in the 1980s in the orange, I always love the nostalgia of them putting it back on," Rives told us.

Few NFL teams tout as popular of a throwback uniform set as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Known by the famous "creamsicle" nickname, the uniforms are popular among both new fans who are not familiar with the kit and those in the older group who admire the nostalgia that they bring. Advertisement Following a hiatus lasting over a decade, the Bucs brought them back for the 2023 season and they made a second straight appearance in 2024. The upcoming season will make it three years in a row following Tuesday's announcement. Tampa Bay announced a series of celebrations for each of their 10 home games, including the preseason, commemorating the team's 50th season. The Bucs' Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons will mark the official return of the "creamsicle" uniforms. The team returned their throwbacks against the Falcons last year as well, ending in a 31-26 defeat in Week 8. In fact, the Bucs' success in these uniforms has been minimal since retiring them as their official kit in 1996. Advertisement Tampa Bay lost in their first contest after the most recent absence in 2023 and have lost five of their last six including the four-year span from 2009 to 2012 when they made their initial return. The Bucs hope for better luck this time around not only based on the jerseys but the opponent as well. Tampa Bay lost to the Falcons in both matchups last season and they project as their strongest rival in the NFC South once again. They managed to hold onto the South for the fourth straight season but a similar pattern in 2025 could be detrimental in their quest for their fifth straight division title.
