Alejandro Garnacho's brother blasts Ruben Amorim after Europa League final loss
Alejandro Garnacho's brother hit out at Ruben Amorim after Manchester United's defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday night. Brennan Johnson's first-half goal in Bilbao ended Spurs' 17-year wait to win a trophy and rounded off a miserable season for United. Garnacho, meanwhile, started the Europa League final as a substitute with Amorim opting to play Mason Mount and Amad Diallo behind Rasmus Hojlund in attack. Amorim opted to switch things up in the second half with Garnacho and Joshua Zirkzee replacing Mount and Hojlund in the 71st minute, and the Argentine winger delivered a lively display in an attempt to find an equaliser for United. However, it was not enough and Garnacho was among the players who looked dejected on the pitch after the final whistle while Spurs' players celebrated.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. In a post on Instagram after United's defeat, Garnacho's brother, Roberto, took aim at Amorim as he wrote: 'Working as no one else, helping every round, coming from 2 goals last 2 finals, just to be on the pitch 19 mins and get thrown under the bus, wowe hajjahhahaha.' The goals that Roberto Garnacho was referencing was Alejandro's goal against Manchester City in the FA Cup final last year and his equaliser in the FA Community Shield last August. More Trending Roberto Garnacho has previously hit out at Erik ten Hag's tactics following United's 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last season. Roberto's post on Wednesday night could now spark further speculation over Alejandro Garnacho's future at United after the 20-year-old came close to leaving in the January transfer window. Napoli and Chelsea both held talks over a deal for the Argentina international but were unable to agree a transfer fee, even after United lowered their asking price to €65 million (£54.8m). Napoli, who are in the market for a new winger after selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain for €70m (£58.9m), also revealed that Garnacho's wage demands played a significant role in the deal breaking down in January.

Jamie Vardy — King of Foxes and a Premier League champion bids goodbye to Leicester City
When Leicester City became one of the biggest examples of underdog success stories, a certain lean forward from Sheffield completed a full circle – Jamie Vardy, starting as low as the eighth division and finally winning the Premier League title, the crown jewel of English club football. In the last 13 years, he has become a legend at the King Power Stadium, scoring nearly 200 goals in 499 appearances and winning five titles with the Foxes. Jamie Vardy's trophies with Leicester City Premier League: 2015–16 EFL Championship: 2013–14 and 2023–24 FA Cup: 2020–21 FA Community Shield: 2021 Raw pace, clinical finishes and crazy celebrations – Vardy has embodied the spirit of non-league football in the top flight, keeping his skills intact at the same time. And that spell will come to an end when Leicester takes on Ipswich Town on Sunday. Both clubs have already been relegated, and Vardy had previously made it clear that he would leave the club after it failed to stay afloat in the top flight. But talking about his farewell, he got emotional. 'I'll be devastated on the day when it is the last [game], but good things, they come to an end,' he told the club website. Signed #OTD in 2012. Done alright for us 👍 — Leicester City (@LCFC) May 18, 2025 'It's going to be one of those emotional days. Who knows which way that can go? If you ask anyone, I'm not really an emotional guy. 'Nothing like that ever comes across with me, but when you've been somewhere for so long, and it is time to say goodbye, you just never know what your personal reaction is going to be,' he added. 'He holds a place in the hearts of everyone connected to Leicester City, and he certainly has my deepest respect and affection I am endlessly grateful for everything he has given to this football club.'Club chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha on Vardy Vardy has 144 goals in the Premier League, making him one of top-10 goalscorers for a single club in the competition. Highest goalscorers for a single club in the Premier League (Top 10) Twenty four of those goals came in the 2015-16 season when Leicester City won its maiden and only league title till date. The performance earned him a call up in the England national team, for which he played 26 times, scoring seven goals and featuring in two major tournaments, the 2016 European Championship and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Vardy led Leicester City to FA Cup glory in 2021, beating Chelsea in the final at the Wembley Stadium. | Photo Credit: Reuters 'When you've performed 13 seasons at this level, coming up to 500 games and 200 goals, that says it all. The standards you set yourself, the way you live your life around football and how you perform,' Ruud Van Nistelrooy said before his final game for the Foxes. 'Then you look at the trophies he has won, and the individual achievements. It's the total package for one of the greatest.' Bumps for Vards! 😅 Jamie Vardy trains for the final time as a Fox 🦊 — Leicester City (@LCFC) May 17, 2025 Though the 38-year-old leaves the club after the match against Ipswich, the footballing world can expect more from him before he hangs up his boots. 'Football is a crazy world. You never know what's going to happen,' Vardy told Sky Sports. 'I'll keep going until my legs tell me I need to stop. My legs are fine. I'm doing a sport that I love, it's what I've done since I was a little kid, so long may that continue.'

FA claims Club World Cup will hamper Thomas Tuchel's England side
The FA's latest annual report contains a warning that new global competitions such as Fifa's Club World Cup risk devaluing the FA Cup — and that player fatigue could affect the performance of Thomas Tuchel's England team. Under a section headed 'principal risks and uncertainties', the annual report says the growing fixture congestion could have financial implications for the governing body. It states: 'The ongoing discussions regarding future structural changes to the game, such as the introduction of new tournaments (eg Fifa Club World Cup), further intensify this challenge. These changes have the potential to significantly reduce the downtime available to elite players, affecting their recovery and overall wellbeing. 'The introduction of more global competitions risks devaluing traditional domestic tournaments, such as the FA Cup, and may affect the performance of our national teams due to increased player fatigue and reduced time for international squad training. These factors could have financial implications for us.' Fifa's new club competition takes place in the United States this summer, with Manchester City and Chelsea taking part. If City win the FA Cup they are due to play in the FA Community Shield less than four weeks after the final of the Club World Cup — they have already had an appeal to delay the start of their Premier League season rejected. The MCC chairman, Mark Nicholas, appears to be tying himself in knots over the future of the Eton v Harrow match at Lord's, with the latest fixture between the public schools taking place on Thursday, 220 years after the first one there. Nicholas said in 2023 he thought it was time for the game to be played elsewhere and that his three Old Etonian stepsons agreed. However, Nicholas has now told MCC's 'historic fixtures' group he is 'not in the business of culling fixtures', that the members would ultimately decide their future and that his stepsons may have changed their view. He told The Times this week: 'We remain in contact with both schools. My stepsons' views have not changed.' Documents in the British court case involving John Textor, the Crystal Palace co-owner who is being sued by Bruno Lage, the Portuguese manager who was head coach of his Brazilian club, Botafogo, make interesting reading. Lage is claiming he had a contract to coach at Palace or Textor's French club, Lyon, for the 2024-25 season, with $3.6million (about £2.7million) to be paid to him and his technical staff. Textor's submission to the court admits he signed the 'alleged contract' in July 2023 but claims it is an 'unenforceable agreement in law' and was merely an opportunity for Lage to negotiate to be the Palace or Lyon manager. The Fifa president, Gianni Infantino, appears to have taken a social media aide to accompany and film him at the Pope's funeral in Rome this week. A video montage on his Instagram account, lasting a minute and a half, shows a dark-suited Infantino in multiple shots greeting the good and the great who also went to the Vatican. Newcastle United have taken legal steps to ensure that fans can access St James' Park via a small strip of land just outside the East Stand that is not owned by the club. A company called St James Terrace Land, whose sole director, Robert Kalbraier, also runs a property firm, bought the land in April last year for £180,000 and since then a large metal container and a wooden fence have appeared and then been removed from the site. The club have now launched a case in the civil courts aiming to secure a ruling that either fans are given private access across the strip of land or there is access for the general public — the action is not related to stadium development. Sky Sports News is planning to have fewer staff presenters, with more working as freelancers, and a number of redundancies are likely — including some well-known faces — after a consultation process. Its news team is also set to be restructured, with reporters told they will need to provide more 'original newsgathering'. Sky Sports News insists the move is not to save money but rather to deliver the news more quickly and be more creative.
