Fans line streets as Tottenham celebrate Europa League success
A white double-decker bus with 'Europa League winners' written across the front was stationary for a lengthy period of time before it started to move down the High Road at 5.30pm to chants of 'glory, glory Tottenham Hotspur' from supporters young and old.

An estimated 150,000 fans were expected to swarm on areas around Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a parade expected to last around 90 minutes and that will see the bus pass by the club's 62,850-seater venue.
This is Spurs' first trophy parade since a 1991 FA Cup win and club greats were on hand to reflect on the achievements of the class of '25 before the team bus started to slowly move down the High Road.
Graham Roberts scored a crucial goal the last time Tottenham claimed European success in the 1984 UEFA Cup and backed Ange Postecoglou's side to chase more silverware now.
Roberts said: 'This will give them belief now. All that pressure that was there, that's gone.
'We have to strengthen our squad, but I think we have a great bunch of boys.
'They love Ange, they went round him, they cuddled him, they wanted him in the photos. The team spirit is there.
'We'll get more now, the rest will come. Wednesday was one of the greatest nights. I had tears in my eyes.
'We were in the fan park, me and Ledley (King). The fans were magnificent. They deserve it. I just hope we get a team on the pitch on Sunday.'
Defender Micky van de Ven said: 'Unbelievable man. Yeah I slept a little bit (in the last 48 hours).
'Emotional, so emotional. The season we've had, it was so difficult, but we got the trophy and we're so happy. I'm so proud of the boys.
'If you experience this, you want to do it over and over again. We're going to try to do the same beautiful things next season.'

Philippe Clement eyed for shock boss job on other side of world but ex-Rangers boss needs to recover from major surgery
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORMER Rangers boss Philippe Clement is reportedly being eyed for a return to management. But the potential move could be scuppered for several reasons - including the fact the Belgian is recovering from surgery. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Philippe Clement was sacked by Rangers in February Credit: PA 2 Clement was dismissed amid a dire run of domestic form Credit: Getty Clement, 51, was axed as Rangers manager in February amid a horror run of domestic form. Having been kept in place after the disastrous 1-0 Scottish Cup defeat to second tier Queen's Park at Ibrox, a home defeat to St Mirren a fortnight later saw Gers chiefs end his 18-month stint in charge. Former Club Brugge and Monaco boss Clement has been out of work since. But he could be about to be afforded the chance to return to management on the other side of the globe. Belgian outlet Nieuwsblad say that Chinese Super League club Shandong Taishan have a 'concrete interest' in hiring Clement as their new manager. The five-time champions of China parted ways with coach Choi Kang-hee and are now on the lookout for an experienced European manager, according to the report. It says Shandong have already made initial contact and want to persuade Clement to join the club ahead of the start of the 2026 league season, which kicks-off next January. They're currently seeing out the current campaign with an interim boss at the helm. Clement could be offered a salary of just shy of £1million. However, there are already a couple of spanners in the works. Nobel Mendy timeline and what he brings revealed, and Dessers' injury impact The report adds that Clement himself would rather return to football in one of Europe's big leagues. The second reason is that he's currently recovering from surgery. It says that Clement has undergone a hip operation and, as you would expect, needs to rehabilitate from that. In a recent interview with Sacked in the Morning on the BBC, Clement hit out at the manner of his Rangers sacking. He told of his anger and frustration at the way in which he lost his job - and the fact he wasn't first to find out. Clement said: "It felt really empty. "I was also angry that moment because all the journalists knew before me. "I got a lot of messages from Scotland, England and Belgium even, before I get a message from the club, so I was not happy with that, that's not good. "I told them also that it was totally disrespectful, that moment. "But I felt really empty because you build something together in your full day and night with everything in the club. "And I had to do much more than you normally should do as a manager in the months before when positions were not filled in."

Man Utd ‘pushing for Carlos Baleba transfer as they come up with pay structure and swap deal proposal'
MANCHESTER UNITED are planning to continue pushing for Carlos Baleba's signature. Brighton are understood to want around £120m for the 21-year-old, with owner Tony Bloom known for sticking to his guns. 3 But the Old Trafford hierarchy remain unfazed by Brighton's refusal and are currently figuring out how to construct a payment package. According to T he Independent, United are considering an initial £80million fee with the rest made up of add-ons. There would be a will to send a player such as Roma-linked Jadon Sancho the other way, but it's unlikely that Brighton will go for that. But it's also understood that Baleba is priced above what United would be prepared to pay this summer. He is the midfielder that United's Ineos hierarchy would wish to sign were they not operating within tight PSR rules. Fans questioned how the club could afford to splash £200million on three new signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. But it's become clear that the PSR scare stories were perhaps a overblown, with United operating within the guidelines after spreading out contracts instalments. However, splashing another 100-odd million on a player might be too big an ask. United are on the hunt for a dynamic midfielder to go in Ruben Amorim 's 3-4-3 pivot after unconvincing displays by Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro in pre-season. Academy hero and breakout England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also struggling to find a consistent place and position in Amorim's squad. Behind the scenes of Benjamin Sesko's first day at Man Utd, from meeting team-mates to interview 3 Baleba joined Brighton in 2023 but has already secured his position as a key figure for the Seagulls, making 34 appearances in a season where Brighton finished eighth. He is another example of Brighton's impressive scouting system, signed as a replacement for British record transfer Moises Caicedo - who, in turn, took the place of Yves Bissouma after a big money move to Tottenham. This is a tried-and-tested formula for Brighton as they've lost key players in the past, such as Alexis Mac Allister, only for others to step up and fill in. Baleba previously told The Sun that praise from players like Declan Rice, Cunha and Joelinton, as well as watching Man City star Rodri lift the Ballon D'or, has encouraged him to set his sights on the most prestigious individual award in football. Baleba missed Brighton 's last three pre-season games, having not played since mid-July with a reported knee injury. 3

Man Utd using critics to fuel their bid to hit the ground running
Mason Mount says Manchester United are using critics and doubters to fuel their bid to hit the ground running and put things right after a season to forget. All eyes will be on Old Trafford this Sunday as the rebuilding Red Devils welcome Arsenal in the most eye-catching Premier League clash of the opening weekend. Advertisement United came 15th last term – their worst top-flight finish in 51 years – and lost the Europa League final to put the lid on a miserable and financially-damaging campaign. Mount knows the team 'need to repay' United's fans, who appear to be heading into Sunday's game with a sense of optimism following a positive summer and some impressive recruits. Mason Mount tasted defeat in the Europa League final (Nick Potts/PA) 'It's a clean slate and we're so excited to be able to have that opportunity,' the midfielder said. 'A lot of people have said a lot of stuff about us as a group, and we ball that up and we use that energy in the best way we can, and that's on the football pitch against other teams, and really competing and fighting for those three points.' Advertisement Mount says the players 'want to put it right' and are relishing the chance to take on last season's Premier League runners-up this weekend. 'Every game that we'll be playing will have that kind of focus to be able to perform and really kick on, and put what was wrong right this season coming,' he told Inside United. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mason Mount (@masonmount) 'Every game is going to be a massive focus to keep that performance level really high and the details really high. 'To start off with that game, it doesn't get much better than that.' United have been boosted ahead of the opener by last weekend's arrival of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko in a deal worth up to £73.7million. Advertisement Whether the 22-year-old is ready to start against Arsenal remains to be seen, but he adds energy, and goals, along with fellow big-name summer arrivals Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. 'I think for us it's so important to start well, to start quick, to start with that intensity,' Mount said. 'We're a team that definitely can push with that and win games with that intensity and the way we want to press, the way we want to move the ball and dominate the ball, and create chances. 'That's the way the manager wants to play, so it's exciting for us to see what we're doing in training and put that into the games. Advertisement 'I think to start with that game (against Arsenal) is going to be massive for us, to start on the front foot and really push forward.'
