EXCLUSIVE: PFA backs Rashford and slams hectic fixture schedule
Rashford spoke of his worries ahead of England’s latest Euro 2024 qualifiers.
He said: “It is mad that, at club level, we are playing three games a week from November until we get knocked out of Europe.

“In the early stages of my career I couldn’t make sense of it. Some managers have spoken out against it.
“If one team plays 60 games a season and another 38, there has to be some time to recover for the team playing 20 more.”

Red Devils could lose out on target
If Chelsea continue to play hardball over the transfer of Mason Mount, United's number one target this summer, it may lead to them missing out on the player all together.

Romano offers de Gea insight
The reputable journalist who is the font of knowledge for all transfer business has lifted the lid on the situation with David de Gea:

This is why, at the moment, there is still no green light for David de Gea to go to Carrington and sign the contract. They are waiting for that stage.

The player feels that Inter Milan should do all they can to keep the stopper but does not feel this is likely to happen.

"Moratti’s Inter could afford to keep a player regardless of the size of an offer that they received. Now, there are other needs to think about.
"But if it just depended on me, I would keep him. It’s difficult to find a great goalkeeper. If they want to win trophies, then they should keep him. Unfortunately, I think they’ll let him leave."
