'Should absolutely stay' or 'a loan the best plan'? Fans on Miley
We asked for your views on whether 18-year-old Lewis Miley should be sent out on loan next season.Here are some of your comments:Richard: He absolutely needs to stay! With Europe, hopefully in the Champions League, there will be plenty of opportunity for the minutes he needs for fluency. We have been saying we need better squad depth all season - it would be lunacy to loan him out!Josh: I think Miley would benefit from a loan, either with one of the relegated clubs in the Championship like Leicester or Ipswich, or with one of the promoted clubs like Burnley, Sheffield United or Leeds. Yes, he wasn't brilliant against Leicester but in all honesty I don't think anyone was, and he has put in some amazing displays. Give it to the end of the season and we'll see - I'm a bit on the fence with this one.Matthew: If you send out Miley and William Osula on loan, who takes their place on the bench? Surely staying and training with the first team will benefit them in the long run. It's also worth remembering we'll be playing European football next season which will mean more game time for the both of them.Dave: Miley makes little impact at the moment when he does come on and he is not advanced enough physically to put his stamp on the game. He does little wrong but does not get involved, so a loan out may be best plan.

Wayne Rooney lined up for shock return to management with SIXTH-TIER side six months after Plymouth axe
The move would see Roo replace another former United star ROO WHAT? Wayne Rooney lined up for shock return to management with SIXTH-TIER side six months after Plymouth axe WAYNE ROONEY is being tipped for a shock return to management - in non-league. The former England ace was sacked by Plymouth Argyle on New Year's Eve. 2 Wayne Rooney is a shock target for non-league side Macclesfield Credit: Getty 2 Robbie Savage led the club to the Northern Premier League title last season Credit: Getty Rooney left the Pilgrims bottom of the Championship after a dismal seven-month spell. The 39-year-old won just 5 of his 25 games in charge at Home Park. Plymouth were eventually relegated to League One despite an upturn in form under Miron Muslic. SunSport transfer expert Alan Nixon claims Rooney is now a target for non-league Macclesfield. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL CAR CRASH Fans claim Carabao Cup draw is 'rigged' as huge derby clash is handed out The club play in the National League North after reforming following the liquidation of Macclesfield Town in 2020. Ex-Manchester United midfielder Robbie Savage is currently Macclesfield's head coach. But he is being eyed by Forest Green Rovers, with Nixon claiming Rooney is on the club's radar should Savage leave. Macclesfield emphatically sealed promotion from the Northern Premier League last season, amassing over 100 points. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Savage joined last summer and has won 40 of his 51 games in charge. Since leaving Plymouth, Rooney has worked as a pundit for Amazon Prime. Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney lands new job working alongside fellow Premier League icon The former Manchester United striker first went into management with US side DC United in 2020. He has since taken the reins at Derby County and Birmingham, before his ill-fated tenure in Devon. Rooney recently turned out for England at the annual charity game Soccer Aid. Wayne Rooney's record-breaking career WAYNE Rooney took the football world by storm when he made his debut for 2002 with Everton. He quickly became the club's youngest-ever goalscorer aged 16 years and 342 days and was named the BBC's Young Sports Personality of the Year. The striker joined Manchester United in 2004 and spent 13 years at Old Trafford. He went on to make 559 appearances for the Red Devils and scored 253 goals. To this day he is still the club's all-time leading goalscorer. Following his spell with United, Rooney returned to Everton for a season. He also spent one-season stints with D.C. United and Derby County at the end of his career. As well as his impressive club career, Rooney is also England's second-highest goalscorer with 53 goals in 120 appearances, behind only Harry Kane. After hanging up his boots, the England icon turned to a career in management. He took charge of Derby County in 2020 and managed to just about save the club from relegation from the Championship at the end of his first season. However, with Derby handed a 21-point deduction the following campaign, he was unable to keep them up again and subsequently left. Then came a 15-month spell in charge of MLS side D.C. United. He failed to impress during his time in Washington and parted ways with the club at the end of the 2023 regular season. Rooney was controversially handed the Birmingham job in October 2023, replacing John Eustace with the club doing well and sixth in the Championship table. However, in 15 games he suffered nine defeats and managed just two wins. He was sacked in January 2024 with Birmingham down in 20th. The club were relegated to League One at the end of the campaign. He returned to management in May with Plymouth Argyle but managed just five wins in 25 games. The United legend now finds himself out of work once again. And he refused to be drawn on his immediate future, suggesting punditry was currently his focus. Rooney said: "Obviously just doing some TV work at the minute, so that's what I'm doing. "I'm enjoying it. So, that's where I'll be."

Arsenal, Man Utd and Spurs racing to seal transfers with one team left fuming
The transfer window is seeing competition between Premier League clubs Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham as they attempt to get signings over the line in their quest for success The trouble with good players can often be how sought-after they are. If there's a clear path to their signature, perhaps they aren't as spectacular as expected or maybe, if you're lucky, you know something others don't. Tottenham's transfer ambitions this summer are certainly not for unknown, uncut gems and have instead taken the shape of prized Premier League possessions. Laudable, and good moves if they can be pulled off, but the Lilywhites may just find out how problematic such deals can be if you can't get them over the line. With the arrival of Thomas Frank came a desire to land Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo but Spurs weren't first on the scene. The Cameroon international's interest in a move to Manchester United had already developed but Daniel Levy was not immediately dismayed. Spurs jumped into the race with a bid worth £10million more than United's own offer when they launched a £70m approach. From the outside it sounds like the bold move required to sign a player who scored 20 Premier League goals last term. But despite holding all the cards: a bigger bid, a familiar face in Frank, and being able to offer Champions League football, it seems the club will have to turn elsewhere. Ruben Amorim's side look set to agree a deal worth £65m, with Mbeumo anticipated to complete a deal next week. Football doesn't always make sense, although Manchester United did finish two places above their rivals in the league despite falling to them in the Europa League final. Perhaps money talks or perhaps the Red Devils' stature remains worth more than more tangible qualities. What may be more frustrating is that Tottenham could once again find themselves as the odd one out, unable to capture the attention of the figure commanding everyone's eyes on the dancefloor that is the transfer window. With the competition of an even fiercer rival, Spurs may be forced to jink and jive to standout. Arsenal could be the team to scupper Tottenham 's back-up plan after 'holding talks' with Eberechi Eze's representatives. Spurs have long-tracked the Crystal Palace and England star but may struggle to hold a candle to Arsenal's Premier League ambitions after a difficult time in 2024/25. Eze made it on to Spurs' shortlist but it appears the Gunners could jump the queue with Andrea Berta already on the case and in conversations. The Europa League champions cannot even repeat their ploy to land Mbeumo as Eze has a release clause in his contract. The former QPR starlet can be taken from Selhurst Park for £68m, ensuring the 26-year-old has almost the only say in his future. But a scenario where Spurs are left chasing another target is not out of the realms of possibility. The will once again attempt to please, persuade and impress that they are a more suitable option to settle down with over their north London neighbours. It is the Gunners who can offer a stable environment and will strive for the greatest gold in 2025/26 however. Spurs meanwhile are onto the seventh new face in their dugout since Eze became a Premier League player in 2020 - they will have their work cut out once again. Someone will be left unhappy come the end of the summer. For the moment, Spurs are most at risk.

Man City cruise past Juventus as Haaland reaches 300-goal milestone
Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden and Savinho – with a long-range stunner – were also on target as City produced an outstanding display despite both sweltering heat and a torrential downpour in Orlando on Thursday. City were pegged back after Doku's early opener when Ederson gifted a goal to Teun Koopmeiners but their lead was restored when Pierre Kalulu turned into his own net at the Camping World Stadium. Haaland, reaching a notable landmark in senior football for club and country, came off the bench to bundle in the third and Foden and Savinho made victory certain before Dusan Vlahovic's consolation. The result means City progress with a 100 per cent record from their three group games and should, in theory at least, have a more straightforward route through the knockout stages. Juve beat City 2-0 when the sides met in the Champions League in December but this was a far different side than the one that won just once in 13 games in a dismal run late last year. It was also a notable shift in gear from City after opening the competition with two straightforward wins against Wydad Casablanca and Al Ain. Jeremy Doku opened the scoring (John Raoux/AP) With Ballon d'Or winner Rodri making his first start since September, City were fluid and energetic. They made a fast start and Bernardo Silva had a header saved by the feet of Michele Di Gregorio before they took the lead in the ninth minute through Doku. Summer signing Rayan Ait-Nouri slipped him in with a fine throughball and the Belgian tucked home after cutting inside Kalulu. Juve responded immediately and City failed to make the most of a reprieve after Vlahovic scuffed an effort wide. Ederson carelessly gave the ball away from the resulting goalkick and Koopmeiners rifled a shot past the Brazilian. Erling Haaland came off the bench to score (Phelan Ebenhack/AP) City dealt well with the setback and Tijjani Reijnders, Rodri and Omar Marmoush all had attempts blocked. The pressure paid off in the 26th minute although they benefited from a huge stroke of luck as Kalulu diverted Matheus Nunes' ball past Di Gregorio. The ferocious sunshine gave way to heavy rain just before the break but City were not deterred as Savinho shot at Di Gregorio before the keeper pushed away further strikes from Ait-Nouri and Marmoush. Marmoush was replaced by Haaland at the interval and the Norwegian soon made an impact. Reijnders played in Nunes, who rolled a pass perfectly into the path of Haaland in front of goal. His connection was hardly the cleanest but such was his positioning he could hardly miss. Phil Foden hit City's fourth goal (Phelan Ebenhack/AP) Ederson denied Vlahovic as Juve sought a way back but Haaland created the opening for the fourth when his pass was picked up by Savinho and powered in by Foden from close range. Savinho added another in style when he thundered in a shot off the underside of the bar from distance after 75 minutes. Juve were well beaten but Vlahovic battled on and pulled one back six minutes from time after good work by Kenan Yildiz.
