Glasner challenges Palace to win more trophies after FA Cup glory
Rain towards the end of the Eagles' open-top bus parade through the streets of south London could not dampen the enthusiasm of Palace fans determined to revel in the club's first major trophy in its 119-year history. "It's very exciting, and we all will enjoy this journey, playing the Premier League, playing the Carabao (League) Cup, playing the FA Cup and playing the Europa League," Glasner said on stage. "Four competitions, four titles to win, let's go for every single one," the Palace manager added. Glasner led Eintracht Frankfurt to Europa League glory in 2022, with the 50-year-old Austrian now credited with transforming Palace's mentality and ambition since arriving in south London in February 2024. "I couldn't be more pleased to work with a group of players like they are," added Glasner. "Not just because of their talent, they are great talents, but especially what great characters they are (and) I couldn't be more pleased to manage in a club like Crystal Palace with fans like you. "We had tough moments in this season, but you were always behind us. You always supported us, and my feeling was we were always one Crystal Palace, and that's why we could win the trophy, that's why we could succeed, so thank you very much for your support, and let's keep going like this." Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who saved a penalty in a 1-0 Wembley win over City where Eberechi Eze's goal sealed victory, said Monday: "This is for the fans. You deserve this. Enjoy it, and we'll be back next season with more, hopefully." © 2025 AFP

'Wing wizard' Harry Maguire aims to solidify Manchester United's defence in Europa League final
FILE - Manchester United defender Harry Maguire says they have to be solid at the back in their Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur. Image: Conor Molloy / ProSportsImages / DPPI via AFP Surprise wing wizard Harry Maguire says he hopes he can stay in his defensive comfort zone for Manchester United in the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday despite his attacking cameos earlier in the competition. Ruben Amorim's men have the chance to end a disastrous season on a high in Bilbao against their Premier League rivals, who are also enduring a terrible campaign. Central defender Maguire scored the winning goal in a remarkable comeback against Lyon in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, with United winning 7-6 on aggregate. Then he dazzled on the wing to help set up the first goal in the first leg of the semi-final against Bilbao -- a tie that ended 7-1 after the two legs. The former United captain was asked on Tuesday whether his forward forays were part of a new tactical masterplan by Amorim. "The manager has me dribbling every day in training," he joked. "No, listen, I found myself on the wing against Bilbao and managed to put a good cross in. "Cas (Casemiro) has scored the goal. No, someone has just asked me before that. Obviously, I've gone up front in the later minutes of the game (against Lyon). "Tomorrow night, hopefully, I'm not going up front. I don't want to be going up front and chasing a game. I want to be defending the lead." He added: "I'm always there to help, I'm always there to do my best but I'm more than happy playing in my favourite position." Hero to villain The England international, 32, has played regularly this season after a difficult period in which he fell out of favour under former United manager Erik ten Hag, also losing the captaincy. But he said it was "amazing" to be playing regularly again. "This season I have played a lot of football. I don't take too much notice of the plaudits from the media and things like that," he said. "When you play for this club you can be an amazing player and the following week you can be the villain. That's part and parcel of playing for this club. "I don't read too much into it. I try and stay as level as I can. Every game I go into it and try my best, and that's all you can do." United's current skipper Bruno Fernandes said the players at Old Trafford craved success after their struggles. The club are 16th in the Premier League with one game to go -- certain to finish in their lowest position since they were relegated in 1974. But winning the Europa League would guarantee a place in the Champions League next season. "We want to be at the top of everything, not only the Europa League, not only the Premier League," he said. "We want to be at the top of the FA Cup, the Carabao (League) Cup, everything we are involved in. "This club needs to be fighting for everything we have ahead of us." Fernandes, who is the joint top-scorer in the Europa League this season with seven goals, said a trophy win could be transformational for United. "It won't change the past, it won't affect what the past has done to us... but what can it affect is the future, probably yes. "Obviously winning the competition gives you a lot of things. You get a place in the Champions League, it gets a lot of revenue for the club, it gets obviously more players wanting to come to the club." AFP
