Sir Dave Brailsford ‘steps back from Man Utd' as Sir Jim Ratcliffe plans major reshuffle after disastrous season
SIR DAVE BRAILSFORD is set to step back in his role at Manchester United, according to reports. The move comes as part of a major reshuffle being planned by Ineos head-huncho Sir Jim Ratcliffe. 3 Sir Dave Brailsford is set to step back from his role at Man Utd Credit: Getty 3 It comes as part of a major reshuffle plan from Sir Jim Ratcliffe Credit: PA 3 Brailsford had been working alongside Man Utd chiefs like Jason Wilcox Credit: Getty According to The Times, Brailsford will be reducing his commitment to Man Utd and returning to his role as director of sport for Ineos. Brailsford, famed for his so-called "marginal gains" ideology from cycling, stood down as team principal of Ineos Grenadiers when Ratcliffe purchased his minority stake in the Red Devils. He then took charge of football operations at the club and has been in that role for a year trying to implement change at the club. However, the season has been nothing short of a disaster after Man Utd finish a record-low 15th place and go trophyless after losing the Europa League final to Tottenham. Despite this, the 61-year-old has been credited by British billionaire Ratcliffe in overhauling the performance set-up at Man Utd. He was also heavily involved in the £50million redevelopment plan for the club's Carrington training ground and setting the goals outlined in Mission 21 to get both Man Utd men and women winning league titles. The report adds that Geraint Thomas will be taking a senior leadership role at Ineos' professional cycling team when he retires as a rider at the end of this season. Brailsford's step back comes at a time when Ineos is reducing its sporting commitments. Most read in Football THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

Matheus Cunha will be perfect for Man Utd and Bruno Fernandes – but only if Ruben Amorim makes crucial signing
IT is safe to say that Manchester United failed to live up to their supporters' expectations. They finished in 15th place, well behind the European qualification spots, on just 42 points, and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham to leave them trophyless. 10 Matheus Cunha could be the perfect addition to Man Utd Credit: Getty 10 But could depend on his relationship with Bruno Fernandes Credit: Reuters 10 Ruben Amorim will also need another attacker to complete the jigsaw Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The club have backed new boss That backing does appear to have extended to the transfer market as well. Brazil star Meanwhile, club captain READ MORE IN FOOTBALL How exactly Cunha will be used by He has played as a striker at points for Wolves but he is not the type to make regular runs behind the defensive line, preferring to drop deeper in order to receive and link play. That means he is arguably more effective in behind a main striker, which could create an overlap of profiles with the likes of Fernandes. Below we break down the tactical fit of Cunha at Man Utd under Amorim. Most read in Football BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Intelligent movement around the penalty area It is interesting to note that towards the end of the season we saw Wolves typically play the same tactical shape as Man Utd did under Amorim. Their 3-4-2-1 shape saw Cunha used either as a 9 or as one of the two attacking midfielders behind the main striker. Bruno Fernandes reveals role his wife played in £200m Al-Hilal transfer snub even though Man Utd were ready to cash in In these positions Cunha's intelligence and movement in the final third and around the penalty area helped Wolves create a lot of threat. He is very strong when it comes to finding little pockets of space to drop into and attack around the opposition defensive structure. The Brazilian is also difficult to deal with defensively because when defending deep opposition players will typically be concentrating on being tight and defending the space between the ball and the goal. Cunha takes advantage of this with sharp movements to outplay defenders and create shooting opportunities. 10 Here we see Cunha positioned outside of the box before he then takes a clever touch and bends the ball into the goa We believe Cunha would be able to play in a similar kind of role to Fernandes as both are extremely intelligent in the attacking phase of the game. This would mean, however, that Man Utd would still need to add a new forward to play ahead of him, assuming they decide This could be an issue solved in the near future with the signing of The type of runs Mbeumo makes would be perfect to stretch the length of the pitch and offer passing options or decoys for Cunha to benefit from. Indeed, the runs Mbeumo makes are extremely close to those of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool and could benefit both Cunha and Fernandes greatly. With Fernandes being more comfortable as a passer and creator from deeper areas, we should see Cunha acting as the link between the 10 Here Cunha is smart enough to check his run behind the back-pedalling defence before he gets the ball and is able to finish Given Fernandes is well known as one of the most aggressive and creative passers in the league he will enjoy having a player like Cunha alongside him to find space in tight areas. While Cunha is not an out and out striker, his movement and intelligence of positioning around the area will create real threat. Not just a finisher Cunha impressed in front of goal last season as he finished with 15 league goals, while he was also able to provide a creative threat for his team But Cunha has long been seen as more of a creative attacker than a true goalscorer, such as when he was at Hertha Berlin or Atletico Madrid . The same is true in deeper positions, especially in transition, when Cunha was capable of getting on the ball and play the final line breaking ball to release team-mates. He was extremely versatile with his positioning as he occupied pockets across the width of the penalty area. 10 Here Cunha has the ball in the left channel, drives at goal and then has the quality to slip the ball to a team-mate making a run beyond him In terms of his on pitch relationship with Fernandes, it will be interesting to see how Cunha interacts with him given their respective preferred creative operating areas. The 30-year-old is less of a runner and more of a passer which could create disconnects with Cunha due to a lack of vertical runners around him. With that said, the two should be able to connect deeper with Cunha being the player to make the more aggressive vertical run off the back of that connection. The issue Man Utd may have is they will essentially have two advanced midfielders without an effective focal point striker to play off of and make the ball stick. 10 Here Cunha has the ball wide and has the quality to pick out the deep run from his team-mate It is all very well for Amorim to add creativity and dangerous passing to their attacking unit. But they need to ensure that they have the players ahead of the ball that can make the runs to take advantage of those passes. Decision making and intelligence Cunha is a player who can become decisive for the Red Devils both in scoring goals and creating chances, and that is down to his supreme intelligence and strong decision making. This is what makes him such a versatile attacker, and it would therefore be somewhat wasteful to play him as the main striker. He is far better when allowed to play deeper and underneath a more physical and aggressive striker. 10 Cunha's intelligent movement off the back of the opposition midfield gives a team-mate a passing options before another striker pins an opposition defender Essentially, Man Utd should be looking to use a striker who can threaten space behind the defensive line. This should force the opposition defensive line deeper and then we would see Cunha, and Bruno , with more space that they could play in underneath the striker. The ability of a player to consistently make correct choices in terms of the timing and direction of his runs is something that is hugely underlooked. 10 Here he drops off the highest line to come back in and occupy a pocket of space between defenders Especially given the pace of the modern game and the intensity of the Premier League. The fact, Cunha always seems to give team-mates what they need at the right time will be hugely beneficial to Man Utd in terms of helping them to unlock opposition teams. Conclusion In our opinion signing a player like Cunha off the back of a terrible season will be a real boost for the Red Devils and their fans. What is critical though, is Cunha is then surrounded with more signings in key areas to give him the support to make the most of his attacking and creative abilities. Given It will still be a long summer ahead for Man Utd's recruitment team. 10

US trade talks on track but metals tariffs unhelpful
Trade talks between the European Union and the United States are moving in the right direction, the two sides' main negotiators have said. However, the EU said the doubling of US tariffs on metals did not help with the negotiations. The increase on steel and aluminium imports - from 25% to 50% - took effect on the same day that President Donald Trump's administration wants trading partners to make "best offers" to avoid other punishing levies from early July. Meanwhile, in another sign of disruption to global trade, concerns about the damage from China's restrictions on critical mineral exports deepened, with some European auto parts plants suspending output and German carmaker BMW warning that its supplier network was affected by shortages. In terms of tariff talks, EU negotiator Maroš Šefčovič said that a meeting with US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Paris was constructive. "We both concluded that we are advancing in the right direction, at pace," Mr Šefčovič told reporters. Technical talks are ongoing in Washington, he added, and high-level contacts will follow. "What makes me optimistic is I see the progress ... the discussions are now very concrete," Mr Šefčovič said. He stressed that he and Mr Greer had agreed to restructure the focus of their talks after having been "approaching it from different angles". Mr Greer said the talks had been constructive, adding in a statement from his office that they demonstrated "a willingness by the EU to work with us to find a concrete way forward to achieve reciprocal trade". Mr Šefčovič said that he deeply regretted the doubling of tariffs, stressing that the EU has the same challenge - overcapacity - as the US on steel, and they should work together on that. Separately, President Trump described his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping as tough and "extremely hard to make a deal with". "I like President Xi of China, always have, and always will, but he is VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH," the US leader posted on Truth Social. The comments come days after President Trump accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions and after the White House raised expectations for a long-awaited phone call between the two leaders this week. A US trade court ruled last week that Mr Trump had overstepped his authority in imposing the bulk of his tariffs on imports from China and other countries under an emergency powers act. Less than 24 hours later, an appeals court reinstated the levies while it considers a government's appeal. US officials have been in talks with several countries since President Trump announced a pause on tariff hikes in April. However, only one - with the UK - has materialised and even that pact is essentially a preliminary framework for more talks. But British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was confident that US tariffs on UK steel would be reduced to zero within a "couple of weeks". Pressure is mounting as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, a 38-nation grouping of mostly developed countries, cut its global growth forecast on the back of the levies. Trade, consumption and investment have been affected by the tariffs, its Chief Economist Alvaro Pereira said, warning that the US economy will see the biggest repercussions. Mexico will request an exemption from the higher levies, Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said, arguing that it is unfair because the US exports more steel to his country than it imports. "It makes no sense to put a tariff on a product in which you have a surplus," Mr Ebrard said. Elsewhere, uncertainty around US trade policy is creating havoc for businesses around the world. French spirits group Remy Cointreau abandoned its 2030 sales growth ambitions, saying tariffs, slow US sales and high uncertainty could derail its plans for this financial year and beyond. Austrian speciality steelmaker Voestalpine also warned that levies were likely to dent its earnings. "US producers will try to find suppliers that are not affected by the tariffs. If they find one, the German supplier is probably out," said German steel and metal processing association WSM, which represents around 5,000 companies. "Nobody has the margins to absorb these bottomless tariffs," according to WSM Managing Director Christian Vietmeyer.
