One of the many subplots that will be discussed in the two-week ramp-up to the Big Game will be RATINGZ. The people love to talk viewership and the Super Bowl, as the most-watched television event in the country year-in and year-out, always puts up some stupidly large numbers. Last year's Super Bowl, for example, brought in just shy of 115 million viewers– a notable number because it was the highest since the 2014 Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Technically last year was also the highest-viewed Super Bowl ever, but out-of-home viewing was included for only the second time ever so the all…

Man Utd co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been angered by the leaks emerging from the Premier League club in recent months, according to reports.

The Red Devils have had a season to forget so far with Erik ten Hag s side finishing bottom of their Champions League group to crash out of Europe, while they are currently seventh in the Premier League with six matches remaining.

Ratcliffe frustrated by player leaks and indiscipline

It is now just one win in seven Premier League matches for Man Utd after they came back twice .

Man Utd do have an FA Cup semi-final against Championship side Coventry City to look forward to at the weekend but any hopes they had of qualifying for the Champions League through the Premier League have now disappeared.

Michail Antonio all but ended the Reds Premier League title hopes on Saturday as his equaliser 13 minutes from time saw .

Jamie Carragher: Mo Salah was daft with his comment in the mixed zone

Salah was left out of the starting XI for the match against the Hammers and while getting ready to come on as substitute.

When asked if he would share the cause of the disagreement, Liverpool boss Klopp responded on TNT Sports: No. But we spoke already in the dressing room and for me, that s done.

However, by commenting if I speak, there will be fire, as he walked past the mixed zone of reporters following the match.

Leandro Trossard s 20th-minute goal against Manchester United was enough for Arsenal to be in with a chance of winning the Premier League on the final day of the season.

Arsenal were unchanged for the fourth game running as Erik ten Hag was forced to make several changes from Monday s 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

Diogo Dalot moved over to left-back to face up against Bukayo Saka having played on the right and Aaron Wan-Bissaka on the left in recent weeks.

Captain Bruno Fernandes remained absent as Scott McTominay came back in to the starting XI as Mason Mount missed out altogether.

Antony was dropped to the bench in favour of Amad Diallo, while Christian Eriksen dropped to the bench, with Sofyan Amrabat replacing him in midfield as Ten Hag sought more s…

Bayern Munich are sure that Thomas Tuchel has managed to land the job at Man Utd after reports Erik ten Hag will be sacked following the FA Cup final.

A report in The Guardian on Friday claimed that Man Utd have decided to sack Ten Hag following a disappointing second season in charge of the Red Devils.

It started off well with the Dutchman guiding his side to an FA Cup final, Carabao Cup glory and a top-four finish in the Premier League last term but an eighth-placed finish this campaign and an early exit from the Champions League could cost him his job.

Ten Hag has one last chance at success this season in the but insists that even winning the Cup would not save the former Ajax boss from the chop.

It is also understood that Tuchel, Mauricio Pochett…

England left-back Luke Shaw says he was hurt by those questioning his commitment to Manchester United and has opened up about this season’s injury struggles.

The 28-year-old has endured plenty of ups and downs during his decade at Old Trafford, where he says this was his “most frustrating season” to date having dealt with “injury after injury”.

Shaw was restricted to 15 appearances and last played in mid-February, yet positive rehab – and a paucity of left-back options – saw Gareth Southgate select him for this summer’s Euros.

“I’m definitely progressing much better than I think they thought, and me too,” the Euro 2020 final goalscorer said.

“I don’t want to look too far ahead. Obviously, I’m very grateful for Gareth picking …

Alan Shearer believes there is no excuse for England s lacklustre performance in their 1-1 draw against Denmark at Euro 2024.

England struggled to impose themselves in their second Group C outing in Germany after Harry Kane’s opener in Frankfurt was cancelled out by a fine strike from Morten Hjulmand.

Former England captain Shearer, working as a pundit for the BBC, said: “You can see players lying on their backs – they look absolutely shattered, the England players. There’s no excuse for that.

Chelsea have been warned that they want to sell one of the best strikers in Europe as they look to find Armando Broja a new club this summer.

The Blues have spent over £1billion since a Todd Boehly-led consortium took over the Premier League club in May 2022 with their spending not showing any sign of slowing this summer.

parted ways with Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the 2023/24 season with Boehly and the Chelsea hierarchy hiring Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca to replace him.

The Blues need to sell players this summer to recoup some of the money they have spent in recent years and Broja is very likely to be one of those casualties.

Broja has struggled with injuries and form in recent seasons and failed to impress in a loan spell at Fulham last t…
