Old Trafford on sale: Manchester United list entire squad for sale after Europa League final defeat
Image Composite: File (AP), (Getty) A massive overhaul after Europa League heartbreak Manchester United are facing a financial crisis after losing the Europa League final 1-0 to Tottenham, leading the club to put every player up for transfer this summer. The defeat means United will miss out on Champions League qualification and the estimated £100 million in revenue that comes with it. This loss has forced Old Trafford chiefs to consider selling top players like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Andre Onana, and Alejandro Garnacho. The club's value has taken a significant hit, plummeting 60% under Sir Jim Ratcliffe's ownership. Alongside this turmoil, there are growing fears Ruben Amorim, the manager, could quit. In a post-match press conference, Ruben Amorim expressed his frustration but remained confident in his job. He openly offered to leave the club without any compensation if the board or fans believe it's the right decision. He said, 'I'm always open, if the board and the fans feel that I am not the right guy, I will go the next day without any conversation about compensation.' However, Amorim stressed that he won't quit on his own, saying, 'But I will not quit. I am really confident in my job. As you can see, I will not change nothing in how I do things.' Bruno Fernandes, speaking after the match, also hinted at his potential departure. The Portuguese captain said, 'I have always been honest. I've always said I will be here until the club says to me that it's time to go... If the club thinks it's time to part ways because they want to do some cashing in or whatever, it's what it is, and football sometimes is like this.' Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho admitted the season has been difficult and hinted he may consider leaving, saying, 'It's difficult for all of us. This season has been s***... I'll enjoy the summer and then we'll see.' Transfer plans hit by financial reality: Plan A and B United's failure to qualify for Europe means the club must revise its summer transfer strategy. Initially, the Red Devils had ambitious targets such as Sporting Lisbon's Viktor Gyokeres, RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, and Ipswich Town's Liam Delap. However, the loss has forced them to prepare a secondary transfer plan. In another media briefing, Amorim explained, 'We have two plans for the market. We need to understand that it is tough for a club like ours not to be in the Champions League . But we have to use the other side.' Backup targets reportedly include Lorenzo Lucca, Mateo Retegui, former Everton striker Moise Kean, and Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta. To fund summer signings, United will need to offload players currently out on loan, including Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Antony, who recently returned from loan spells at Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Real Betis. Financial struggles extend beyond the pitch. Since the partial takeover by Ineos, hundreds of staff have been laid off, with cuts including scrapping the club's Christmas party and free staff lunches. These measures underline the depth of the crisis gripping the club. Despite all this, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has reportedly remained supportive of Amorim, even after the disappointing campaign.

Indiana executes Benjamin Ritchie for young police officer's murder. Widow honors victim.
For a handful of years, Bill Toney's life was like the lyrics of a Kenny Chesney song he always listened to with his wife. "Life is good, the grass is green, the good lord smilin' on you and me. Gonna knock on wood." The Toneys were raising two young daughters and contributing to the Indiana community they loved, the Indianapolis suburb of Beech Grove. She was a schoolteacher and he was an officer at the Beech Grove Police Department, where no one on the force had ever been killed by gunfire. Until one terrible night on Sept. 29, 2000, when a car theft suspect Toney was chasing shot him four times, the fatal round hitting the officer just above his bulletproof vest and killing him the day before his 32nd birthday. The murder stunned Beech Grove and left a gaping void in the lives of Toney's family. One of his daughters was just 18 months old, and the other was 4. Now 25 years later, Toney's killer − Benjamin Ritchie − was executed by lethal injection on Tuesday, May 20, in Indiana's first execution this year. It was also the first of two executions on Tuesday alone, and the 17th in the nation. As Ritchie's life ends, USA TODAY is looking back at the case and most importantly, who Toney was. On Sept. 29, 2000, Benjamin Ritchie and two other men stole a van in Beech Grove, Indiana. A few hours later, police attempted to pull it over and a chase ensued. Officer Bill Toney responded to a call for backup. When the van crashed into a home, the suspects scattered. Toney chased Ritchie, who had been driving. Ritchie ran into a backyard, and when Toney followed him through a gate, Ritchie shot him. The city collectively mourned the young officer's death, and at least 1,000 people packed a local church for his funeral. Fellow officers carried Toney's flag-draped coffin. Toney was the oldest of four siblings and was became a father figure to his younger brothers and sister when their own dad died too young, said DeeDee Toney-Horen, Toney's widow. Toney-Horen said that she met Toney when the two were in high school. Ever the protector, the couple's romance started when she was about 17 after he warned her that she had shut one of her car doors on a seatbelt and it was hanging out of the car. The couple married in 1992 when they were about 23 years old and went on to have two daughters: Jessica Ann and Emily Kay. "Bill was a great dad. He loved throw the girls up in the air," Toney-Horn, who has since remarried, told USA TODAY. "He loved his family more than anything ... They brought him a lot of joy." At the age of 28, Toney achieved his dream to become a Beech Grove police officer. He was working as a draftsman for a cabinet company before he joined the police academy and worked hard to graduate. At Toney's funeral, then-police Chief Michael Curran said he remembered when the young man first strapped on his police belt, according to an archived story in the IndyStar, part of the USA TODAY Network. "His eyes sparkled, and he was as excited as a child on Christmas," Curran said. Toney-Horen said her husband just wanted to contribute to the community that he loved and that when he finally became a Beech Grove officer, their life came together. "He loved it ... he never dreaded to work, he didn't take days off," she said. "He wanted to make sure if he had the opportunity to steer somebody away from a life of crime, bad choices, that's what he wanted to do." She continued: "Life was just good. Things were going well." Ritchie's execution at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, roughly 60 miles east of Chicago, began just after midnight Tuesday, and Ritchie was pronounced dead at 12:45 a.m., according to the Indiana Department of Corrections. His last meal was the Tour de Italy from Olive Garden. "I love my family, my friends, and all the support I've gotten,' Ritchie said in his last words. 'I hope they all find peace." At a recent clemency hearing asking for mercy, Ritchie described the night of Toney's murder as "a train that left the station with no brakes." "Multiple bad decisions led to the loss of the life of a man who should be here today without the horrible actions that I took that night," he said. "There's not a night that goes by I don't think about that person … I'm so sorry for that night." Toney-Horen described the hearing as tough to sit through. "It's time," she told USA TODAY about the execution. "It's been exhausting and just emotional. I want to focus on Bill's life. I'm tired of talking about the way that he died." This September will mark the 25th anniversary of Toney's death. Like every year, Toney-Horen is organizing a memorial in his honor, but this time, she decided to do something big: raise money to add bulletproof glass to the patrol cars of the Beech Grove Police Department. Her hope, to make officers' jobs a little bit safer. It's what Toney would have wanted, she said. "I felt like it has been my duty over the years to be his voice and I have done that," she said. "And I have not backed down." Contributing: Nick Penzenstadler Amanda Lee Myers is a senior crime reporter at USA TODAY.
