Marc Skinner may have been a Marmite manager but Manchester United’s …

He divided opinion but made the most of a small budget – his successor must work with youngsters not big signings truewildgame.com

“If we want to compete at this later stage, we’ve seen what we’ve got to do, as a club. It’s our choice now, isn’t it? We have to look at what we seriously want to achieve … It takes, sometimes, a punch in the face to wake up.”

Those were the words of the Manchester United head coach Marc Skinner after his side went out of the Women’s Champions League with elimination by Bayern Munich in April. Just over four months later, the bruise from that punch has faded, but so, it would seem, have the club’s ambitions to compete in the transfer market, and Skinner has decided not to get into the ring for another round.

The creator of the viral game Footy Redraft says he has been shocked by the positive feedback after 300,000 players signed up in under a month

An online AFL game has drawn more than 300,000 players since it was launched less than a month ago, creating a social media sensation that burst forth to become a talking point at bars and even in MCG bathrooms. Just who must be delisted, and who then drafted, to make an AFL dynasty that never was?

The creator of Footy Redraft, Greg Butyn, says he had the game’s bare bones working “over a night or two” in July. Early feedback from friends was positive. But the response quickly became something more, his first inkling he may have created something meaningful.

Den engelske midtbanespilleren Jordan Henderson (36) har signert for Chelsea.
Bekreftelsen kommer etter at Henderson nylig avsluttet kontrakten med Brentford. Det åpnet døren for en gratisovergang til Chelsea.
Henderson har mye rutine i engelsk fotball. Etter å ha startet karrieren i Sunderland, hadde han mye suksess som kaptein for Liverpool, der han vant både Premier League, Champions League og en rekke andre titler.
Etter Liverpool-tiden var han i saudiarabiske Al-Ettifaq og Ajax før han i fjor signerte for Brentford.
Henderson fikk 34 kamper for Brentford og ble kåret til klubbens spiller for september. Hans eneste mål for laget kom i 1-1-kampen mot Leeds i desember.
Henderson signerte i fjor sommer en toårskontrakt, men den ble som nevnt avsluttet etter ett år. Partene var enige om beslutningen.
Veteranen ble tatt ut i Thomas Tuchels England-tropp til VM, og ble historisk som første engelske herrespiller til å delta i sju mesterskap.
Underveis i VM fikk Henderson en bisarr skade. I feiringen etter avansementet mot Mexico klarte ikke midtbanespilleren å hoppe over reklameskiltene og endte opp med å brekke armen.
