'I regretted joining Man Utd from Arsenal – I wanted to rip up my contract and go back'
Alexis Sanchez possessed a hero status at Arsenal before his transfer to Manchester United, which the Chilean admitted he instantly regretted Alexis Sanchez admitted that he was prepared to rip up his Manchester United deal in order to return to Arsenal after just his first Red Devils training session. The Chilean spent three-and-a-half years in north London and accrued an impressive 80 goals and 44 assists in 160 games for the Gunners. Having established himself as one of the best players in the Premier League after a three-year stint at Barcelona, where he won everything but the Champions League, then-United boss Jose Mourinho came calling in 2018. In what was a rare transfer situation, United and Arsenal - who clash on Sunday in their first Premier League game of the season -opted to complete a swap deal, with Sanchez moving to Manchester, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan going in the opposite direction in January 2018. Prior to the move being completed, Sanchez had scored seven goals in 19 league games, a relatively slow start for the winger, given that he had netted 24 goals the season before. In a devastating drop-off in form, Sanchez scored just two more league goals for the rest of the season. He ended his first six months as a Red Devil with three goals in 18 games across all competitions. Speaking in 2020, Sanchez admitted he was initially positive about becoming a United player but those thoughts were swiftly dashed after just one training session. "I accepted the opportunity to go to United, it felt tempting, and it was something good for me," he said. "I liked this club a lot when I was a kid. Eventually, I signed, but I didn't ask for information on what was happening inside the club. Sometimes there are things that you don't realise until you get there, and I remember the first training session I had, I realised a lot of things. "After the session I got home and I told my family and my agent, 'Can you not rip up the contract to go back to Arsenal?' They laughed. I told them there was something that didn't sit right, it didn't seem good. But I had already signed; I was already there. After the first few months, I carried on having the same feeling. We weren't united as a team in that moment." Sanchez's sophomore season at United, which was also his last, was even worse than his debut campaign. He managed just one league goal in 20 games and was resigned to a bench role for much of the season. After being dropped for an away trip to West Ham because he failed to score in the first six league games of the season, Sanchez said Mourinho's decision to relegate him dented his confidence. "In a game with West Ham, I wasn't picked," Sanchez continued. "That had never happened to me as a player. It bothered me, and I said it couldn't be possible. "To go from being one of the best in the Premier League to not playing in five months. I came to my house, and I was very sad. The next day, I trained in a double shift because I love what I do." United chiefs called time on the failed experiment as Sanchez was sent out on loan to Inter Milan in 2019 before making the switch permanent a year later. He's since turned out for Marseille before returning to Inter in 2023 for just a season as he secured a return to fellow Serie A side Udinese, the first European club he played for after leaving his homeland.

The 10 commandments of football fan etiquette – and what not to do
A new season usually brings new rules, but some things about football should never change. This is not a rebuke to the changes coming to the sport from this weekend, including the notion that only captains are allowed to speak to referees. We give that one about six weeks. Instead it is time to re-state the expectations for match-attending fans. Arrests are down and incidents of racist abuse, while depressingly common online, are thankfully rare within stadiums. Going to football has probably never been safer. But has it ever been so irritating? Attending a match now forces you to ponder the great post-pandemic adjustments of public behaviour. Like a train carriage soundtracked by people FaceTiming on loudspeaker, or inexplicably queueing to be served at pubs, a great number of people simply have no idea how to conduct themselves. The codes of the stadium have long been self-evident, common sense. Many are in danger of being forgotten. In that spirit, here are the 10 commandments of watching football in person: 1. Thou shalt gauge the mood If your ticket is in a raucous spot of the ground where the singing starts you cannot reasonably complain about shouting. If in a more sedate area, take your cues on chanting volume and regularity from those around you. If most people are standing, do not cross your arms in a huff and whinge about sightlines. If most are sitting and you insist on standing, you are showing yourself up and have earned the loud bloke behind you telling you to 'sit daaahn!'. 2. Thou shalt consider personal hygiene Entire Saturdays have been marred by nearby armpits and halitosis. Don't be that guy. And yes, it's always a guy. 3. Thou shalt be mindful of colours It is the height of fan rudeness to watch a smaller club while wearing the emblem of your 'real' Premier League team, even if only on a hat or scarf. It is completely crass if undercover in the home end watching your team away. Realistically this is unlikely to lead to violence if you keep your voice down, but it is still needlessly provocative. No exemption for children either, they can manage an afternoon at Tranmere without their Liverpool coat. 4. Thou shalt not whinge about things which are not hugely important Food selection worse than a petrol station? Hand dryers not very powerful? Seats not very comfortable? It is a football ground, not a business-class lounge. Get over it. 5. Thou shalt not behave like a herbert Fine to be drunk, fine to be rowdy but no excuse for ruining anyone's afternoon. Tone it down if there are children nearby. It is distinctly uncool to scream vitriolic abuse at your own players. But you are allowed to choose one swear word from the top shelf and shout it at an opposition player or referee and really mean it, once per season. Use it wisely. 6. Thou shalt not loudly discuss either fantasy football or your 'acca' Always, always, always the most tedious conversation imaginable. Unacceptable to be more interested in games taking place on your phone rather than in front of your eyes. 7. Thou shalt not turn an entire game into content The ship has sailed for crowds filming notable moments (penalties, goal celebrations, Leny Yoro warming up nearby), but it is still a bleak sight seeing people 'performing' into their phones during standard passages of play. Especially when hamming up reactions to TikTok-ian proportions. Give it a rest. 8. Thou shalt not look at your phone at all This is my new season's resolution. I have missed one too many goals gazing vacantly at something irrelevant during a break in play which held my interest after the game restarted. This reached a nadir at Harrogate vs Grimsby in April when I missed the following goal while looking at… can't remember. Because look at this goal: Shameful. Never again. 9. Thou shalt arrive on time and not leave early (75 per cent of the time) You are permitted one of the following per match: arriving late for kick-off, exiting before half-time, arriving late for the second half or leaving before full time. No crime to be caught up by factors which can delay arrival: traffic, troublesome turnstiles, delicious, watered-down £6 plastic-bottled lager. No crime to get ahead of the bar queue at half-time, or the crowd when leaving. But pick one, forcing everyone in your row to stand up is a drag. 10. Thou shalt live and let live Despite these judgemental rules, the appeal of watching live football comes from its ability to unite disparate people behind something fundamentally absurd. Those who go to games are in it together, and have more in common with rival match-attending fans than those who consume primarily on TV. Try not to become too angry about the eccentricities and irritations of the people around you. Communal experiences can never be perfect.

SWPL 2025/26 predictions: Winner, runner-up & relegated
Grant Scott's side were unfancied right up until the moment they got their hands on the title at Ibrox last season. The players themselves acknowledged that few of them really believed that they could go all the way – but all the way they did. The big question now is, can they do it again? There have been a few tweaks to the squad but no wholesale changes. Their championship status means there is a European qualifying tournament at the end of this month in Cyprus as they look to make it into the Champions League group stages. Last season that derailed Celtic's domestic campaign so it will be interesting to see how if the additional games and travel, even at this early stage of the campaign, have an impact. Prediction: 4th GLASGOW CITY There has been no silverware at Petershill for back-to-back seasons, a scenario that will have hurt Glasgow City given the dominance with which they lorded it over the rest for so long. Leanne Ross has lost her assistant manager to Rangers with the move coming late in the day as the Ibrox side made their move for Leanne Crichton who switched to Ibrox with less than a fortnight to go before the new campaign. Jo Love, Brenna Lovera, Aleigh Gambone, Claire Walsh, Mairead Fulton and Sam van Diemen have left the club this summer. Lovera had an excellent campaign with her goals a substantial loss while van Diemen was also impressive; she will be shoring up Roma's defence this season. Abi Harrsion, Erin McLaughlin, Lana Golob and Emma Brownlie have been added. Like Hibs, City have a Champions League qualifying mini-tournament to play at the end of this month and will be keen that it does not impact their domestic performances. The suspicion is that it will be fraught at the top – and could be goal difference to settled again – but it will be interesting to see if City can reclaim a title they seemed to own for so long. Prediction: 1st CELTIC Any insight into how Elena Sadiku felt about the club's fourth place finish last season would have been seen in the ten players – all first-team level – who were released from the club this summer. So far replacements have been slow to arrive albeit that Sadiku has said she expects to be in a far more comfortable place when the window closes. The Swede was reluctant to make any bold pronouncements about winning titles or silverware this season but has insisted that there has to be an improvement on last year's trophyless campaign. Last season the Parkhead side toiled against their title rivals – they beat City once at the start of the campaign and never got the better of Rangers in any competition – raising question marks about their psychology around the bigger games. Do Celtic have the players to go and claim a title they won for the first time in 2024? Time will tell. Prediction: 3rd RANGERS Leanne Crichton is well aware that she is in position at Rangers to deliver a title that slipped out of Jo Potter's grasp twice at the very last hurdle. The Ibrox side have enjoyed success in both domestic Cups but the title has eluded them since they won it under Malky Thomson. There have been accusations around the mentality of the squad as they have failed to get over the line despite having the best resourced squad in the league in recent campaigns. Crichton has had little time to prepare for the season ahead and missed out on Rangers' pre-season trip to Italy as Rangers and Glasgow City thrashed out a compensation agreement. The squad itself has undergone changes – six players have gone – with Rio Hardy and Kirsty Maclean the notable departures. Still, Rangers have a strong squad with Katie Wilkinson's goals always significant. Prediction: 2nd HEARTS Eva Olid has improved Hearts year on year since taking over at the club. Her side have made for awkward opponents for all of the top teams and while they may not have the depth to go all the way in the title race they can definitely have a say in who claims the Championship. They host Celtic tomorrow afternoon as the season gets underway and will be keen to be as problematic to Sadiku's team as they have been in recent displays. Olid may well fancy too that this season a kind cup run will book a Hampden date. Prediction: 5th ABERDEEN Scott Booth will be keen to make his mark with Aberdeen as he prepares for a full season at the club. Having made the move back North in October last year, there was a sense of frustration that results did not match his ambitions for the club. There remains an issue with resources – the club are semi-professional rather than professional – with the chasm clear between the top end of the table and the rest. Booth's challenge is to bridge that gap. Prediction: 6th MOTHERWELL Paul Brownlie had an impressive campaign last year as he took Motherwell into a top six position. The Fir Park side have punched above their weight at times with Brownlie laying solid foundations at the club. Prediction: 7th PARTICK THISTLE Last season proved to be a bridge too far for Thistle last season after the heights they had reached in previous campaign under Brian Graham. The striker has stepped back from the women's game after labouring under an intense workload in recent seasons while Tiree Burchill has made the move to champions Hibs while Cara Henderson will miss the season following ACL surgery. Prediction: 8th HAMILTON ACCIES Robert Watson has brought Accies back into the top flight but has had a nightmare summer with legal wranglings off the park overseeing preparations for the new campaign. He has recruited some experience SWPL players and loans but the remit will all be about staying in the league. Prediction: 9th MONTROSE Montrose kick off their campaign by hosting Rangers this afternoon with the likelihood being that the season doesn't get any easier the longer it goes on. Prediction: 10th
