Just want to say thanks to all Swansea fans who always gave passionate support to us every single game.

[In the] last couple of years personally I felt sorry to the fans about our inconsistent performances on the pitch and really feel frustrated and disappointed about what happened to us [on Sunday], but I believe Swansea will come back stronger and will find the philosophy of Swansea Football Club for the fans.

Also [a] big thanks to all my team-mates it was a great joy to work with you guys on and off the pitch.

I wish all the best of luck in the future to everyone once again thanks.

Cristiano Ronaldo reflected on writing a beautiful story at Juventus after Manchester United confirmed they have sensationally agreed a deal to re-sign the forward.

Ronaldo was reported to be on his way to Manchester City before the Red Devils revealed the club legend is poised to return to Old Trafford.

The Portugal captain will head back for a second spell in the Premier League, subject to agreement of personal terms, securing a visa and passing a medical.

United are said to have agreed to pay £12.8million (€15m) plus £6.9m (€8m) in add-ons for the prolific 36-year-old, who won Serie A title twice with Juve following his switch from Real Madrid in 2018.

The five-time Ballon d Or winner posted a farewell message on Instagram after United revealed…

According to reports in England, Max Allegri is set to be included in the search for Manchester United’s new manager. While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is doing a great job so far with two big wins in his first two games, it still appears as if the Red Devils are planning on bringing in someone more permanent. If that does indeed prove to be the case, then Max Allegri could be as good of a selection as any.

The 51 year old has been with Juventus since 2014 and has been able to oversee a great deal of success with the Italian champions. He previously managed AC Milan for four years, and throughout the course of his entire tenure in Italian football many have often wondered whether or not he’d ever venture elsewhere.

Jose Mourinho was recently sacked from his position as man…

Bruce Arena remains unbeaten upon his return as United States head coach and now has a welcome selection issue to consider ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup after striker Dom Dwyer scored on debut in a 2-1 friendly win over familiar foes Ghana.

Born in England but a naturalised American citizen and married to US women s national team star Sydney Leroux Dwyer seized his chance with a tireless and threatening display at Pratt Whitney Stadium.

Kellyn Acosta made it 2-0 with an opportunistic free-kick seven minutes into the second half in Connecticut and, though Asamoah Gyan  having missed a first-half penalty pulled one back with a considerably more eye-catching set-piece effort, the away team were unable to force an equaliser.

All four meetings between the teams have…

David Beckham is set to take a 10 per cent stake in Salford City alongside his former Manchester United team-mates Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.

Gary Neville headed a news conference on Wednesday to confirm Beckham would take an equal shareholding in the National League to his fellow Class of 92 graduates from the United youth system, subject to ratification from the Football Association.

Singaporean businessman Peter Lim remains the largest single shareholder at Salford, with 40 per cent.

We wanted to announce it on our terms, Neville said, flanked by his other ex-United colleagues at a briefing Beckham was unable to attend.

We know there s a process to go through and we can t be presumptuous that he will be accep…

Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal has confirmed that he s in talks with the club over the possibility of a new contract. The 32 year old also confirmed that he isn t thinking about retirement and that he s very happy with the Gunners, despite recent rumours linking him with a move away from the Emirates. Nacho joined Arsenal back in 2013 and has made quite the impact since then, making over 200 appearances for the club.

The main club who are said to be interested in him is Barcelona, as the Spanish giants go in search of a back up left back to add to their ranks. With Arsenal, though, Monreal is much more likely to have a consistent place in the first team, and it seems as if that ll continue despite the fact that he s likely moving into the final stage of his career. Monreal will…

Alvaro Morata is now Chelsea s record signing and the most expensive Spanish player in history after completing a £70million switch from Real Madrid.

The 24-year-old striker will be charged with filling the void left by Diego Costa s expected departure at Stamford Bridge.

Centre-back Antonio Rudiger and midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko have also arrived for big money from Roma and Monaco respectively to bolster Antonio Conte s title defence.

Lavish spending in the Roman Abramovich era is nothing new at Stamford Bridge, but, as the list below shows, a weighty fee is no guarantee of success in west London.

1. Fernando Torres (£50m) MISS

Chelsea s club-record swoop for Torres in January 2011 provoked anger on Merseyside, but Liverpool neve…

Wayne Rooney has told Manchester United s superstars to show some bottle and prove they care as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fights to keep his job at Old Trafford.

United s record goalscorer Rooney said the 5-0 Premier League defeat to rivals Liverpool on Sunday wasn t easy to watch , as the Red Devils suffered their worst humiliation of Solskjaer s reign.

Rooney felt it was jarring to see a lack of effort and application from too many players as Jurgen Klopp s impressive visitors ran riot in Manchester.

United have three crunch games ahead, with Premier League fixtures against Tottenham and Manchester City either side of a Champions League trip to Atalanta.

Those are widely seen as games that will either seal Solskjaer s fate, or see him earn a lifeline, but R…

Romelu Lukaku sent his support to Christian Eriksen after setting Belgium on their way to a 3-0 victory Russia in their Euro 2020 opener on Saturday.

Lukaku s Inter team-mate Eriksen is awake in hospital and undergoing tests after collapsing during Denmark s encounter with Finland in Copenhagen earlier in a traumatic second day of the tournament.

Red Devils record goalscorer Lukaku said Chris, I love you into a television camera following his opening goal in the Group B match at Saint Petersburg Stadium.

Thomas Meunier scored Belgium s second in the first half and the impressive Lukaku added a late third as the top-ranked side in the world moved level on points with Finland, 1-0 winners over Denmark in a game that resumed following encouraging news on E…

Germany fans thanked Mats Hummels, Thomas Muller and Jerome Boateng prior to Wednesday’s friendly against Serbia after Joachim Low said they were no longer in his plans.

Head coach Low shocked German football earlier this month when he announced the three Bayern Munich players were to step aside at international level.

The experienced trio all played an important role in Germany s 2014 World Cup triumph, but following an embarrassing title defence in Russia last year that saw them dumped out in the group stage, followed by a dismal Nations League campaign, Low opted to make radical changes.

Many have come out in support of the ostracised trio, criticising Low for publicly ending their careers for the national team instead of just dropping them, while the p…
