    Patience a virtue, says Man Utd's Ayden Heaven
    Ayden Heaven in action during Manchester United's 5-0 pre-season win over Rosenborg in Trondheim [Getty Images]Patience will be a virtue for Manchester United's young defender Ayden Heaven this season.The 19-year-old made a big impact at Old Trafford in 2025-26, making 18 first-team appearances, including 11 Premier League starts.Heaven showed the promise that United felt was worth signing him from Arsenal, where he had already made his senior bow.However, after a run of starts under Ruben Amorim, they dried up once Michael Carrick took charge, with Leny Yoro tending to be preferred if Harry Maguire or Lisandro Martinez weren't available given Matthijs de Ligt had already suffered the back problem that eventually ended his season.Carrick did start Heaven in three games towards the end of the season though and rates the teenager highly.With De Ligt still injured and Martinez now on a three-week break after reaching the World Cup final with Argentina, Heaven has started the opening two pre-season games in Helsinki and Trondheim alongside Maguire, with Yoro stepping in at right back."I know I'm young and I've got to be patient, especially in my position," said Heaven."You don't see a lot of 19-year-olds playing week in, week out. It's nothing personal. I'm just waiting for my opportunity."Heaven was selected in the England Under-20 squad last season and it targeting further international honours this term."The sky's the limit," he said, mentioning the full England senior squad. "I've just got to keep working hard."He couldn't have anyone better to learn from than Maguire.The sound of the experienced defender's voice echoing round Rosenborg's Lerkendal Stadium on Friday as United won 5-0 was a reminder for Heaven the game is about more than simply playing."He's had over 20 years of experience playing," said Heaven."He speaks a lot and he always tells me to speak. I always work on that with him."

    Talking Points: Plenty Of Positives As The Lads Begin US Tour
    NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - JULY 25: Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris walks out at the start of the match during the pre-season friendly match between Liverpool FC and Sunderland AFC at GEODIS Park on July 25, 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Ian Horrocks/Sunderland AFC via Getty Images) | Sunderland AFC via Getty ImagesWe all know deep down pre-season means very little in the grand scheme of things, but its always nice to see the players back in the red and white or the pink, as it was on this occasion and show some promise for the season ahead. Despite the score line, there was a lot to get excited about in Nashville. Heres our key talking points from the game. Enzo magic Le Fees hit the ground runningTheres only one place to start really and thats Enzos goal. Last season I was critical of our hesitation in having a go from outside the box, but in last weeks friendly at York and last night in the States, we showed a willingness to take those opportunities on. And what a goal it was from Enzo Le Fee to open our account. The good work was started by Chris Rigg, who won the ball and played a lovely through ball to Le Fee Isidors run across the defence created space and Enzo rocketed it home. We know this boy is special, and I think hes in for an excellent season hes sharp, hes full of confidence, and hes got bags of ability.Bulked up Rigg looks the part centrallyIts a big season for Chris Rigg, and hes another whos come back with the bit between their teeth. Hes got loads of competition in the centre, but hes got a couple of weeks on Xhaka, Sadiki and Diarra, and hes making a real case for a starting place. Hes been doing extra training over the summer, and in the nicest possible way he has come back looking like a man, rather than a boy. Rigg was excellent in the first half, and hes going to make it difficult for the manager to leave him out. On a podcast last season I did suggest the club may see Rigg as Granit Xhakas long term replacement, and while it may not immediately make sense to some, I still think theres a possibility thats the case.Does Alan Browne have a future with us?Theres an interesting decision ahead for Alan Browne does he want another season in the championship, or does he want to be a bit part player for Sunderland in Europe? When everyones fit, hes not going to get into the first XI I dont think its unkind to say that but he can do a job, and in the cups his presence and experience could be very useful. Browne did well against Liverpool in a deeper role, and while its going to be a side story during the summer, it wouldnt surprise me one bit if he decided, at 31, that theres more appeal being part of the Sunderland squad this season than being a regular a tier down.Strongest team first half led to second half strugglesLiverpool and Sunderland took different approaches to the game we played our strongest team in the first 45 and a team of mainly youth players in the second, while Liverpool mixed and matched, turning out a stronger team in the second 45. While both approaches have their merits, it led to the game playing out in a predictable way, while Sunderland dominating much of the first half, and Liverpool dominating much of the second. While only four or five of the team we started with will likely start against Ipswich four weeks from now, it was a good line up and I cant help but thinking the likes of Jenson Jones, for example, who the club have high hopes for, would have been better served playing alongside the likes of Reinildo, Ballard and Mukiele, rather than playing instead of them.Tutierov takes his chanceThis young lad has been around the club for a little while now, but showed again hes a threat and can get on the scoresheet, following up his stunner at York with a simpler goal against Liverpool. In fairness, he didnt get too involved in the game as Liverpool dominated the second 45, but scoring goals guarantees attention, and with a bigger squad needed next season, hes looking like someone whos worth having on the bench, given his eye for goal.

    Nottingham Forest table 17.5m bid for Man City and Bayern target Givairo Read
    Nottingham Forest table 17.5m bid for Man City and Bayern target Givairo ReadNottingham Forest have lodged a 17.5 million bid for Feyenoord full-back Givairo Read, according to the Daily Mail.The Tricky Trees are looking to sign a new right-back and have turned to the highly rated 20-year-old, who has caught the eye with his performances in the Eredivisie.Read is an outstanding athlete whose marauding runs down the right flank have become a weapon for his side (he completed 21.8 sprints per game last term).The Dutchman won 50 percent of his aerial and 62% of his ground duels in 16 league appearances, despite a downturn in form in 2025/26.He also contributed a goal and three assists on the attacking front, proving to be a balanced full-back.Read would be a coup for Nottingham Forest if they manage to land him ahead of Bayern Munich and Manchester City.The European powerhouses have shown interest in the Feyenoord star, but Forest are the first to make a concrete move to secure his signature.It also remains to be seen if that bid will be enough to convince the Dutch side to sell one of their key assets, especially with some of the outrageous numbers Premier League clubs are paying.Forests pursuit of Read underlines an ambitious summer at the City Ground, with the club determined to provide Oliver Glasner with the tools to build a thriving team.They are also working on a 35 million deal for Sporting CP centre-back Ousmane Diomande as they look to strengthen the heart of the defence.Getting him would be another coup, considering the calibre of clubs chasing his signature.Meanwhile, Everton striker Beto is another target to add greater firepower up front. Chris Wood is in the twilight of his career.Forest are also expected to return with an improved 45 million bid for Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall. They want the Swede to replace Elliot Anderson in the engine room.

    Juventus turn to PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier as Parisians line up Zion Suzuki as a replacement
    Juventus turn to PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier as Parisians line up Zion Suzuki as a replacementJuventus have added Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier to their shortlist as they step up their search for a new No.1, according to Foot Mercato.The Serie A giants are exploring alternative options after finding it difficult to complete moves for Aston Villas Emiliano Martinez and Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.Chevalier has now emerged as a serious candidate for the Bianconeri.The 24-year-old only joined PSG from Lille in a 50 million deal last summer but endured a difficult debut campaign in the French capital.Even though he started the season as Luis Enriques first-choice goalkeeper, a series of mistakes and inconsistent performances saw him lose his place to Matvey Safonov.The Russian impressed during PSGs run to their second successive Champions League win.Chevalier ultimately made 26 appearances in all competitions but did not feature again after January. He also lost his place in Frances World Cup squad.Despite his disappointing first season, the French international has informed PSG that he wants to remain at the club and fight for his place next term.However, Juventus are now monitoring the situation closely as they weigh up a move before the transfer window closes.The Italian club are also continuing negotiations with PSG over striker Randal Kolo Muani.Meanwhile, PSG are preparing for the possibility that Chevalier could depart before the end of the summer.The Ligue 1 champions have reportedly identified Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki as a potential replacement should Juventus, or another interested club, convince Chevalier to leave Paris.The 23-year-old Japan international has bolstered his reputation over the past year with a string of impressive performances for both club and country.Suzuki is one of the most promising young goalkeepers in Europe and reportedly open to a switch to the Parc des Princes if the opportunity comes his way.

    At a less contentious All-Star, WNBA players and Cathy Engelbert look to get on the same page
    WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert acknowledged room for improvement in communication with players. (Photo by Sage Zipeto/Getty Images)Sage Zipeto via Getty ImagesCHICAGO The leagues elite players want personalized check-ins beyond congratulations on their accomplishments. They open their phones to check texts and scroll social media.WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert figured they wouldnt want to hear from her and the league all the time. She sits at a computer and sends emails to relay major information.You see the problem.There is a clear disconnect between Engelbert and players, despite an overall thawing of tensions four months after signing a collective bargaining agreement. It plays out in headlines, Instagram stories and social media posts because this is a professional sports league, and conflict creates noise.In the WNBA players case, noise results in change. The tweaks here are minor, considering the sides that were once on the brink of a work stoppage appear to be on better terms.Cathy Engelbert hugs All-Star Game MVP Jonquel Jones during the trophy presentation. (Photo by Geoff Stellfox/Getty Images)Geoff Stellfox via Getty ImagesThere were no bold claims about poor leadership, nor accusations of bad-faith acts during Fridays player media portion of All-Star weekend. No feelings were harmed in the unzippering of warm-ups in the vein of last years Pay Us What You Owe Us T-shirts. It is far from a consensus affirmation of the job Engelbert has done, and she herself remained noncommittal on her 2027 job status when asked directly for a third time in as many state-of-the-league addresses.But it was a refreshingly calmer tone.Cathy has done a lot to really get us to this point, Stewart said this weekend. Obviously, she was across the table during those CBA negotiations and eventually we got to a historic deal, and I think theres flowers that need to be given all around in order for this deal to really happen.The movement on this particular issue need not be as transformational as the CBA that paid out each All-Star $15,000 for participating. As with all of their paychecks in this new era of labor peace, its significantly larger than in years past. Individual winners over the weekend made bank.Money does solve some problems. It can only do so much about bettering communication in the ways those involved want to receive it. And times are far different from the days of the legends who helped jump-start the 30-year-old league.Its friendly when you see each other, but its not like I was calling [former WNBA president] Val Ackerman [or] [former president] Donna Orender, no, Aces head coach and former New York Liberty star Becky Hammon said. I dont know what the temperature is like now, but you have to understand too, [we were] just getting phones. I was still carrying out CD packets with movies in it. It was just a completely different world.Listen closely to any of Engelberts press conferences, including her state of the league address on Saturday night, and the differentiating words are clear.The internet is a very complicated place, Engelbert said on while answering a question on individual security practices and player safety. Someone gave me this term: keyboard warriors.For all the olds know, that phrase was so last year. Its definitely not new, and that Engelbert had someone share it with her is telling.Engelbert, 61, spent the entirety of the WNBAs existence at Deloitte, where she rose into the role of CEO. Her corporate speak still pokes out all these years later, though Stewart gave her credit for adjusting on the fly and within that role.From when she started to now, I think shes more open and more personable and maybe that just comes with the comfort of your surroundings and your work environment and things like that, Stewart said. I think thats something that she can always improve on.Engelberts adult life spanned from rotary phones to dial-up internet to having the entire world in ones pocket. The leagues first commissioner, after decades of leaders with the president title, is more comfortable at the dais, while occasionally awkward within the role.These are entities operating on different foundational levels. The oldest players in the league, born in 1987, made it through high school without smartphones, but the young stars of the W certainly didnt. Paige Bueckers, born in 2001, is a self-proclaimed and overly proud iPad kid. (Thats a person glued to their device. She touches grass with the screen.)Caitlin Clark has praised her relationship with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in response to questions about his WNBA counterpart. (Photo by Sage Zipeto/Getty Images)Sage Zipeto via Getty ImagesA majority of them live their lives online. They communicate constantly, commenting on photos of food rather than merely major life accomplishments.Take this into consideration: what other league features a 72-hour live stream over its All-Star weekend that leads to viral clips of the most mundane of conversations and activities? A clip of the Studbudz, Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman, showing good or bad waffle fries to their camera, made the rounds.In a life lived on a phone, their leader can feel nonexistent. Its another instance of everyone wanting the same thing (more communication) but not knowing how to meet in the middle.Relationships are really important to me, Caitlin Clark said. And I think we can always improve in that area. I think that can improve a lot of things. Communication and relationships solve a lot of issues and a lot of problems.Clark name-dropped Adam Silver, the NBA Commissioner who oversees the WNBA and has developed strong relationships with certain star players. Sabrina Ionescu has also mentioned him in remarks about Engelbert and communication. Engelbert, whether purposeful or not, referenced the NBA as our big brothers during her announcement of the leagues new replay center.She is in a difficult middle-management position in that way. But Silver doesnt give out the awards, hold the press conferences or lead the league. Aja Wilson said again this weekend that she only hears from Engelbert when she wins an MVP.I love to see her in that light, but when I think it comes to leadership, Im always big on bonds, Im always big on connection on a different level, Wilson said. I think thats what we all try to look for when it comes to a leader. When were on our teams, when were coming to the business table. Its a partnership and it should go hand in hand.Again on Saturday, Engelbert acknowledged room to improve while avoiding a question about whether that level of touching base should be within her job purview as a major sports league commissioner.We need to be better, Engelbert said. There's no doubt. I need to be better. Everybody needs to be better at communication. I think all the time. So we'll continue to work on that and communicate.We'll get [information] to them in a format and platform that makes sense to them.The conversation around Engelberts job status continues to fester and will swirl for as long as she is in the role. The boos at these events are a monsoon now, though it is a storm that all major commissioners weather.In the meantime, she is the leagues leader amid a moment of great transformation and challenges. Some players, including Stewart, said this week its not up to them to say if Engelbert should keep her job. It is up to them to communicate and build a league with whoever holds the title, particularly now that the sides agreed to revenue-sharing.Throughout this new CBA its just really important for everybody to realize, were literally now all in it together because as the league grows, then we grow, and vice versa, Stewart said.In as corporate a move as they come, Engelbert and the players communicated about better communication earlier this week on a video call. The players will be checking their messages for action.

    Five days after the final: World Cup lout back on the pitch!
    Five days after the final: World Cup lout back on the pitch!His behavior after Argentinas defeat in the World Cup final was widely and rightly criticized: Leandro Paredes certainly did not come across as a good loser and, naturally, faced plenty of backlash for it.Even so, he has now made headlines again in a way that caused quite a stir.Just five days after the World Cup final against Spain, he was already back on the pitch for his team Boca Juniors in the Copa Sudamericana, playing the full 90 minutes, while most of his national teammates are enjoying a well-deserved vacation. And that was not all: he even provided the assist for Boca Juniors winning goal against OHiggins. Marcelo Endelli - 2026 Getty ImagesIn addition, various media reports recently fueled rumors that Paredes had played the last three matches of the World Cup with a cracked rib.Either way, being back on the pitch just five days after such an exhausting tournament and giving everything for his club is certainly impressive. Whether the football world will therefore forgive him so quickly for the incident involving Gavi after the final is probably something everyone has to decide for themselves.This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

    World Cup as a career killer: has this Germany star gambled badly?
    World Cup as a career killer: has this Germany star gambled badly?"As things stand, hell have a good chance of playing," Julian Nagelsmann told 'kicker' before the World Cup. Bayern benchwarmer Leon Goretzka was supposed to be a nailed-on starter in midfield for Germany, much like in qualifying, and wanted to use that to recommend himself to a new top club. Neither happened, however, and Goretzka is now facing a problem.Because of his role as a reserve player and his high salary, his contract in Munich was not extended. Goretzka then played hardball and did not sign anywhere else. He probably saw himself in a comfortable position with the tournament just around the corner.But just a month later, those hopes have already faded again. The Germany team was eliminated in the round of 32, and Nagelsmann did not keep his promise. Instead, Goretzka only made brief appearances in the group stage against Curaao (17 minutes) and Ivory Coast (5 minutes), and remained on the bench for the entire match against Ecuador. Against Paraguay, he was at least brought on at halftime, but even then he only stood out because he apparently did not want to take a penalty in the shootout.Even before the decisive match, Goretzka had reportedly distanced himself from his teammates and was clearly disappointed with his standing, according to a report by 'Sport Bild'. He had also attracted negative attention among his teammates because of his bad mood.The disappointment was said to be huge, as the 31-year-old had already seen himself as an important player in the double pivot after Nagelsmanns announcement. Despite his limited playing time at the World Cup and the negative headlines, he now still has to find a new club. The transfer window has been open for quite a while, but at the moment Goretzka is just as far from reaching an agreement as he is from earning a regular spot in the Germany team.Before the tournament, there were still rumors about a move to Milan, but those have since cooled. Instead, Juventus are said to be interested. His demanded signing bonus could put the club off. As reported by the Italian outlet 'Calciomercato', the former Bayern star is said to be demanding around ten million euros for his signature as well as a net salary of seven million euros per season. At Bayern, according to 'Bild', he earned around 17 million euros gross per year.Besides Goretzka, the clubless Franck Kessi is also reportedly on the Old Ladys wishlist and would therefore be a cheaper alternative, especially since he is said to be asking for a lower salary.Goretzkas high demands are likely to deter other clubs as well and so things remain relatively quiet around the German international, who must now also worry about his place in the Germany team. After all, Jrgen Klopp has just been introduced as coach, and in buildup play he relies on pressing. Spaces are to be closed down, and duels are to be contested aggressively. Under the new national coach, the right timing when stepping out and covering will therefore be crucial.However, that is exactly what the midfielder has lost a bit of in recent years. One must not forget that at 31, he has already been in the professional game for quite a long time. After making his professional debut for Bochum in the 2. Bundesliga in 2012 and playing continuously in the Bundesliga since 2013, he is now far from his peak.His market value was still 70 million euros in 2021; now it is just 12 million euros (source: 'transfermarkt.de'). Moreover, significantly younger competition such as Felix Nmecha and Tom Bischof is already waiting in the wings.Instead of getting the hoped-for World Cup boost, he now has to be careful that his demands do not become the final killer of his career.Because the longer the transfer window remains open, the smaller the pool of clubs willing to dig that deep into their pockets for him. Goretzka has to decide: take a pay cut or accept that his next move will be a step down in sporting terms.This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

    RB Leipzig ready to reduce asking price if Real Madrid loan star winger back for one season
    RB Leipzig ready to reduce asking price if Real Madrid loan star winger back for one seasonReal Madrid and RB Leipzig have been in active discussions over the Yan Diomande deal in recent hours with both clubs working towards reaching an agreement that suits all parties involved.PSG have attempted to hijack the deal with a late entry, but the player appears to have fixed his mind on joining Real Madrid now and there does not appear to be any possibility of that changing.The transfer fee, needless to say, remains the big standoff factor between Real Madrid and Leipzig, with the Germans demanding close to 40 million more than Florentino Perezs opening offer.A new possibilityAs reported byRMC Sportin a recent update, Leipzig would love to explore a new possibility where they sell Diomande this summer and keep him on loan for one more season, effectively deferring his permanent move by one summer.Leipzig want the player back on loan for one season. (Photo by Selim Sudheimer/Getty Images)Real Madrid, for their part, would not be against such an arrangement, especially if it means a more favourable economic situation. The player, however, wants to leave his current club this summer without any further delay.Los Blancosare currently inpole position to sign Diomande, as also confirmed byFlorian Plettenberg, and direct talks are moving fast. All efforts are being made to secure a deal at the earliest, possibly in a matter of hours.The final fee, however, is expected to depend on the nuance explained above. If Diomande is loaned back for a season, Leipzig will accept a lower fee, but they will hold out for a bigger sum if he is to join immediatelyA massive transfer decisionIt is queer how Real Madrids sudden decision to sign Diomande also happened to coincide with sudden rumours of Vinicius Jrs departure, but there appears to be more going on than meets the eye.The Vinicius saga could have an indirect bearing on the Diomance deal. (Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images)Los Blancoslikely view Diomande as the ideal Vinicius Jr. successor if the Brazilian leaves this summer, and the decision on whether to loan the player or sign him immediately may well boil down to the Vinicius saga.The Brazilian talisman is currently caught between two minds either he must renew on the terms the club propose or leave this summer to start a new adventure.Should Vinicius leave, Diomande will have to arrive this summer to maintain firepower. If the Brazilian opts to stay,Los Blancoscan defer his arrival by a year.
