Murray leaves door open to coaching return
June 10 (Reuters) - Former world number one Andy Murray has left the door open to a coaching return after his short stint with Novak Djokovic ended without a trophy, but the Scot said he did not expect to be working with another player anytime soon. Serb Djokovic appointed Murray ahead of this year's Australian Open and said at the Qatar Open in February they would continue working together for an indefinite period. However, the 24-times Grand Slam champion then endured a woeful run of form and the pair parted ways last month ahead of the French Open. "I would do it again at some stage. I don't think that will happen immediately," Murray told the BBC on Monday. "I wasn't planning on going into coaching as soon as I finished playing but it was a pretty unique opportunity. "It was a chance to learn from one of the best athletes of all time. You also learn a lot about how to work with a team. "You're working with a physio, physical trainers, agents, and you need to know how to get your message across to the player and find out what makes them tick. "That was the thing I learned and something I need to work on if I want to do it again in the future," added Murray. Though they won no titles in their six-month partnership, Murray said he had good memories of his time working with former rival Djokovic. "It was a brilliant opportunity for me. We got to spend some really nice moments away from the court," the three-times Grand Slam champion added. "Results weren't as we wanted but we gave it a go. We'll see about coaching in the future but I don't think that will happen for a while."

Viktor Gyokeres hands Man Utd huge transfer boost as deal collapses
Manchester United remain keen to add some new faces to their squad on the final day of the first transfer window of the summer as they continue to chase Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres Manchester United have had a busy summer transfer window so far - and it's showing no signs of slowing down. The Red Devils have already signed Wolves forward Matheus Cunha after activating his £62.5m release clause. United have also signed young defender Diego Leon for a bargain fee. But a striker remains on the Red Devils' shopping list before the end of the summer. Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres has regularly been linked with a move but United could face competition from Arsenal. Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo has also emerged as a major target but Thomas Frank's impending move to Tottenham could throw a spanner into the works. The first transfer window of the summer is set to close on Tuesday evening so club chiefs need to get a move on if they want to sign either of those stars. With that being said, take a look at the latest transfer rumours from the red half of Manchester: Gyokeres rejects move Man United's hopes of signing Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres have been handed a huge boost. According to L'Equipe, Saudi side Al-Hilal made a move for the forward after being turned down by Napoli's Victor Osimhen. It is suggested that they offered him a £30m-a-year deal to move to the Middle East. They also indicated to Sporting Lisbon that they would be willing to pay around £55m. But Gyokeres turned down that offer and remains keen on staying in Europe for the foreseeable future. United remain firmly in the race for his signature, alongside Arsenal and Chelsea. Hojlund deal collapses Should United sign Gyokeres, they might need to move on a couple of their current players. A candidate for an exit could be Rasmus Hojlund amid interest from Italy but it appears that United's demands could scupper a deal. According to reports in Italy, United want a permanent sale for around £40m. Inter Milan, Juventus and Napoli are interested but they would only be able to do a deal on loan. Hojlund has recently spoken out on his future and claimed he does not want to go anywhere. He said: 'I have a contract until 2030, so I expect to play for Manchester United. I'm looking forward to going on a summer vacation, and then I'm fully dedicated to the project that's underway. "I know I can't get much out of reading things. I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I'm just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good pre-season." Garnacho sent scathing message Alejandro Garnacho has been told to 'get on with it' amid his uncertain future by England icon Chris Waddle. He said: "Garnacho might look good in training, and maybe Ruben Amorim would want to pick him, but he doesn't. Garnacho talks like he's got a million games under his belt. "We know he's a talented football player, but I think players at his age need to get their heads down, and if they're on the bench, well, that's a sign they need to improve to convince the manager. Just shut your mouth, get on with it. "He's a young player with a lot of years ahead of him, and if a manager thinks you need pulling off, you accept it. He talks like he's a senior player in his late 20s, but right now he's still learning. There's talk of him going to Italy – let's see how that goes for him."
