Man Utd club shop bans fans from getting three names on back of new kits
Man United released their new home shirt in June and their new away shirt last month as fans flocked to the Old Trafford megastore to get decked out for the new campaign Manchester United supporters have been left disappointed as they are unable to get the names of three club legends printed on their kits, it has been confirmed. The Red Devils unveiled their new home shirt in June and their away kit last month, with fans rushing to the Old Trafford megastore to gear up for the new season. However, those hoping to add a touch of nostalgia to their new shirts will be let down. A notice at the store reveals that due to 'licensing restrictions,' the club cannot print the names of iconic number 7s Eric Cantona, David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo. A source from the club confirmed that United does not own the trademarks of the former players and therefore lacks the ability or licence right to print their names, reports the Manchester Evening News. This situation is not recent and has been the case for several years, according to the source. It's reportedly the same scenario at Real Madrid, who are also prohibited from printing the name of Cristiano Ronaldo, another icon at the Bernabéu, they added. Several supporters expressed surprise at the rule. "That's really odd," one United fan commented on X. "Modern football just gets weirder," another remarked. A third queried: "What if I call my son Beckham and he wants his own name on his shirt?". While a fourth questioned: "How can you copyright a name lol I'm pretty sure there's more people with those names." United kick off their league campaign on August 17 when they take on Arsenal at Old Trafford. Before that, they round off their tour of America against Everton, before facing Fiorentina next weekend. So far, fans have been able to get two new names on their back of their shirts with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo both bolstering Ruben Amorim's ranks. The Portuguese coach wants more before the window closes, though, with a central striker still on his wishlist.

GK Matt Turner returns to Revolution on loan
August 1 - U.S. men's national team goalkeeper Matt Turner is returning to the New England Revolution on loan from French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyonnais. Turner, the 2021 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, recorded 22 clean sheets in 102 MLS starts for the Revolution from 2018-22. He was also named an MLS All-Star and made the MLS Best XI in 2021. "It is a privilege to return to the club that launched my career," Turner said. "The club that helped me discover who I am as a professional, the club that has always felt like a home away from home. "To have the chance to play in front of the Revolution supporters once again is a priceless feeling and one I've never taken for granted. My family and I have felt their unwavering support throughout these last three years, and I can't wait to wear the Revolution crest again at Gillette Stadium." The loan from Lyon runs through June 30, 2026 and includes an option to purchase. Turner, 31, will fill a designated player spot on the Revs' roster for the remainder of the 2025 season and then will become a TAM-eligible (targeted allocation money) player in 2026. "When the opportunity arose to bring Matt Turner back to the Revolution, we were glad to act swiftly to welcome one of the most talented players ever to represent the club," sporting director Curt Onalfo said. "Matt's talent and leadership will make our squad stronger now and in the future. We look forward to having Matt and his family back in New England." Turner left New England in February 2022 to join Premier League side Arsenal for a reported $6 million transfer fee. He moved to Nottingham Forest in 2023 and went on loan to Crystal Palace in 2024. He joined Lyon this summer in advance of the 2025-26 season. Turner has earned 52 caps with the USMNT, serving as the starter for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and winning titles at the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2021 and CONCACAF Nations League in 2022-23 and 2023-24. Slovenia's Aljaz Ivacic, 31, has been New England's primary goalkeeper this season, recording eight clean sheets in 24 starts. The Revolution (6-11-7, 25 points) are currently 11th in the MLS Eastern Conference, 10 points out of the playoff picture. --Field Level Media

Stroman, 34, was 3-2 with a 6.23 ERA in nine starts this season, while spending 2 1/2 months on the injured list with a left knee injury.

They also added infielder/outfielder Jose Caballero from the Tampa Bay Rays. All four were activated to the roster. Since joining the Yankees last season, Stroman went 13-11 with a 4.69 ERA in 39 appearances (38 starts). In 11 major league seasons with four clubs, including his first six with the Toronto Blue Jays, the two-time All-Star was 90-87 with a 3.79 ERA in 270 appearances (261 starts). De Los Santos, 27, had a 1.78 ERA in 17 relief appearances with the Yankees this season, while Hamilton, 30, was 2-1 with a 4.28 ERA in 36 appearances (one start). Bednar, 30, has 101 saves with the Pirates since 2021 and was 2-5 with a 2.37 ERA and 17 saves this season. Doval, 28, hads 107 saves in five seasons with the Giants and was 4-2 with a 3.09 ERA and 15 saves this season. Bird, 29, was 4-1 with a 4.73 ERA in 45 relief appearances with Colorado. Caballero, 28, was batting .226 with an American League-best 34 stolen bases for the Rays. He was tied for the MLB lead in steals with the Pirates' Oneil Cruz heading into Friday's games. --Field Level Media
