Christian Eriksen told to find new club or he won't play vs Scotland
Eriksen was released by Manchester United in the summer and the 33-year-old has still not found a new club. He was linked with a move to Rangers last month and reportedly has offers from big-spending Wrexham as well as clubs in Brazil, Saudi Arabia and the USA.

Eriksen has scored 46 goals for Denmark in 144 caps, but won't be adding to that against Scotland unless he finds a club quickly, according to Riemer.
He said: "Christian is in a unique situation because he doesn't have a club. That means the situation is a little more complex.
"I find it hard to imagine that you can play for the national team in September in the first game against Scotland if you don't have a club.
"However, I can't believe Christian Eriksen won't have a club by then.
"In that way, I'm relatively calm about his situation, but I'm also really looking forward to seeing what happens.
"Christian needs to play for a football team that has possession of the ball and these are often teams that are at the top of the league.
"For me, it is important that he is at a club that suits him. This will make the last years of his career as positive a journey as possible."

Celtic and Rangers Champions League play-off dates confirmed
The Champions League play-off dates for Celtic and Rangers have been confirmed by UEFA. The draw in Nyon on Monday morning laid out the possible path to the September group stages for both Old Firm sides. Celtic went into the seeded Champions Path side of the draw and will hope to reach the revamped group stages once more. Last season, they emerged from the single 36-team table with a 21st-place finish. The Parkhead side were knocked in heartbreaking fashion after Bayern Munich scored in injury time to win their play-off tie 3-2 on aggregate. They will face either Kairat or Slovan Bratislava in the play-off, with the first leg at Parkhead, on Wednesday, August 20, and the return leg a week later on Tuesday, August 26. To reach the play-off stage, Russell Martin's side must first defeat Viktoria Plzen, whom they host on Tuesday night, before the return leg on August 12. Rangers have been drawn against Austrian side RB Salzburg or Club Brugge of Belgium, and could face them on Tuesday, August 19, with the return leg a week later on Wednesday, August 27. The winner of the third round tie will play the first leg at home. Celtic, and Rangers, should they get there, will be allowed to postpone their Scottish Premiership fixture scheduled between both legs of the play-off tie following an SPFL rule change.

Man Utd draw up two-striker shortlist if Newcastle win Benjamin Sesko race
Manchester United are hoping to sign RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko this summer, but the Red Devils are considering two alternatives if they miss out on the striker to Newcastle Manchester United are desperate to sign a new striker this summer and have two back-up options if they fail to land Benjamin Sesko. RB Leipzig star Sesko is their top target, but they are facing stiff competition for his signature from Newcastle. The Magpies have made an improved offer worth £70million for Sesko, while United are yet to officially bid for the 22-year-old. Sesko netted 21 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions last season. According to a new report from the Athletic, United are also considering potential alternatives to Sesko if Newcastle win the race with Chelsea forward Nicolas Jackson on their radar. Chelsea are said to be open to selling Jackson this summer after signing Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, but only if they receive an 'acceptable proposal'. French outlet L'Equipe, meanwhile, are reporting that Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani is another option United are considering. Juventus were the frontrunners for Muani, but it is claimed that deal has now stalled. As a result, United could now make a move for the 26-year-old, although Tottenham are also said to be interested in Muani. The news comes after United captain Bruno Fernandes urged the club to make more signings before the new season starts. "It's improving, but it's not where we want it to be," Fernandes said after a 2-2 draw with Everton in pre-season. "It's a game of football, there's always passion there. Whatever happens, happens. There was nothing spicy there, it's normal, it is part of the game. "It's been positive [the US tour] and it's good to create a bond with the players. We looked a bit lazy today and we need to change that. "I don't want to have a dig at anyone, but I think the club is doing the best they can in terms of all the financial situations they talk about. I don't know about it, I'm not involved in that. But obviously it was crystal clear we needed more competition for the players that were here. "We needed more quality to get everyone to step up a bit more and to have more to do to get into the starting line-up. I think that's what the club and the manager are trying to do and hopefully we can get one or two players more to help with that."

Rio Ferdinand makes thoughts clear on Arsenal star – 'The best talent since Wayne Rooney'
Rio Ferdinand had numerous battles with Arsenal throughout his career, but the Manchester United legend has become excited by one talent at the Gunners Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes Arsenal's teenage sensation Max Dowman is the most exciting English talent since Wayne Rooney. Dowman, despite not even being old enough to sit his GCSEs, has been exciting Premier League fans this pre-season. In a summer featuring the arrivals of stars like Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and others, the player Arsenal fans may be most excited by is a 15-year-old in their academy system. Dowman was included on the north Londoners' pre-season tour of Asia, where he may have presumed he was only there for the experience. But Mikel Arteta deployed him in their friendlies against AC Milan, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, where he immediately made an impression. Dowman, who was born in 2009, has already impressed Declan Rice and Arteta with his mature displays. Ferdinand, who won his fourth Premier League title the year Dowman was born, has been so captivated by the teen, he thinks he is just as exciting as a young Rooney was. Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents, the ex-England captain said: "Dowman excites me on another level. This kid is different." When co-host Joel Beya told Ferdinand, who already sang Dowman's praises last month, that some people are calling the teenager the best talent England has produced since Rooney, he instantly replied: "Yes. I am saying the same thing.' After Beya suggested Ferdinand should take it easy with such a comparison, he hit back: "What? Have you seen him? They're different. This kid is not Rooney. "Just let me put it out there, he is not Rooney. He is not built. He hasn't got a hairy chest. He hasn't got a beard at the age of 16. Rooney was a man. A man-child.' Rooney was responsible for perhaps the most spectacular breakthrough in Premier League history when he made his Everton debut at the age of 16. He came off the bench against Arsenal and crashed home a strike from 30 yards, which smashed off the underside of the crossbar on its way into the net in 2003. He went on to become United and England's highest-ever goalscorer, until Harry Kane broke the latter record in an away clash against Italy in 2023. While Ferdinand has compared the breakouts of Rooney and Dowman, he did insist they are different types of players. He added: "The thing with Wayne Rooney is that he had guile, but he came on with brute force. He was like, 'You're going to know about me because I'm going to force it down your throat.' "This kid is more subtle, more technical. All he is going to do is have people on ice skates, slipping and sliding everywhere. Very rarely do you see a player actually get near him and touch him. "He is that elusive. He's a player who will excite you, get you off your seat. You'll be going, 'Have you seen that?' He's making defenders into memes.' Dowman is yet to make his full, competitive senior debut for the Gunners, but he appears to have a great chance this season. Arteta has a record of promoting youngsters, having made Ethan Nwaneri the youngest player in Premier League history when he brought him on during a 3-0 victory at Brentford in 2022, aged just 15 years and 181 days old.
