I want to leave: Rashford tells Manchester United
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is one of five players who have told the club they want to leave Old Trafford this summer. It is understood Rashford, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Tyrell Malacia have all informed United they see their futures lying elsewhere. United have responded by delaying their scheduled return for pre-season training until the end of July to allow them time to find new clubs. Should none of the players secure a new deal elsewhere before the end of the month, they will be welcomed back to Carrington, where they will continue to have full access to medical and training support. The PA agency are also reporting that summer signing Matheus Cunha will be given the number 10 shirt, which had been worn by Rashford, for next season and United have informed the England international's representatives of the decision. Rashford scored four goals in 17 appearances during his time at Villa Park, but the Midlands club decided not to activate the $A83 million option to buy him. The 27-year-old, who fell out of favour at United under head coach Ruben Amorim, is reportedly keen on a move to Barcelona and does not want a move to London, ruling out the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. There is also reported interest from Germany, Italy and Saudi Arabia for the player, who has scored 17 goals in 62 appearances for England. Garnacho, who made his first-team debut for United as a 17-year-old in 2022 after joining from Atletico Madrid in 2020, has scored 16 goals in 93 Premier League appearances. But his relationship with Amorim has also deteriorated after he vented his frustration on social media following his omission from United's starting line-up in their Europa League final defeat to Tottenham. The Argentinian has been linked with both Chelsea and Italian champions Napoli. Antony failed to justify his huge price tag at Old Trafford after arriving from Ajax in an $A171 million deal in 2022, but he rediscovered top form after joining Real Betis on loan in January. Sancho has failed to settle at United following his arrival from Borussia Dortmund for $A152m in 2021. Malacia, signed for $A27 million from Feyenoord in 2022, made three Premier League appearances for United last season before switching to PSV Eindhoven on loan. Meanwhile Burnley are closing in on a deal to sign Manchester City's England defender Kyle Walker. It is understood Walker, 35, had a medical with newly-promoted Burnley on Friday ahead of a move which could be worth up to $A10 million. Walker is entering the final year of his contract at City and, although he started last season as the club captain, he finished it on loan with AC Milan, who declined to take up an option to make his move permanent.

Diogo Jota death: David Beckham joins Cristiano Ronaldo, Arne Slot, Virgil van Dijk in posting tributes to Liverpool star
David Beckham has joined the chorus of tributes for Liverpool football star Diogo Jota after the 28-year-old died in a tragic car crash alongside his brother in Spain. The sporting world is in shock over the loss of the Portuguese and English Premier League star, who had only recently married the mother of his three children, Rute Cardoso, two weeks ago. Beckham posted on Instagram that it was: 'Devastating to hear this such sad news… sending love to Diogo & André's families.' The Manchester United great's message comes as Liverpool FC says it is 'devastated' at the 'unimaginable loss'. The Portugal forward died along with his younger brother André Silva, 26, after their Lamborghini crashed in Zamora in the early hours of Thursday morning local time. Authorities are investigating if speed, a blown tyre, or both were the cause of the crash while the sportscar was overtaking. Liverpool has opened a book of condolence, both physically in the Anfield Road Stand and online, lowered flags to half-mast, closed all stores and the museum, and suspended all tours until Monday. 'Heartbroken' former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, who signed Jota from Wolves in 2020, admitted he is struggling to comprehend Jota's death. Klopp wrote on Instagram: 'I'm heartbroken to hear about the passing of Diogo and his brother André. Diogo was not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father! We will miss you so much!' Current head coach Arne Slot insists everyone associated with the club owes it to Jota to 'stand together and be there for one another'. Slot revealed they were in 'absolute shock' and said on the club's website: 'What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words but I know I do not. All I have are feelings that I know so many people will share about a person and a player we loved dearly and a family we care so much about.' Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard posted: 'RIP Diogo. Condolences to his family and friends during this incredibly sad time.' The English Premier League said: 'Football has lost a champion who will be forever missed.' Liverpool said 'will continue to provide them with our full support.' Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said he was still in shock: 'Man, I can't believe it, I don't wanna believe it. Absolutely devastated and in total disbelief. What a human being, what a player, but most importantly what an unbelievable family man,' he said. 'My heart is breaking for all of your beautiful family. I promise you that in these difficult times and beyond we will always be there for your family. A champion forever, number 20 forever. 'It's been a privilege to have stood by your side on the pitch and to have been your friend off it.' Portugal legend Cristiano Ronaldo was among the global sporting superstars to share his grief: 'Doesn't make any sense. Just now we were together in the National Team, just now you were married,' he wrote online. 'To your family, to your wife and children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. R.I.P. Diogo and André. We will all miss you.' Women's EURO 2025 teams observed a minute of silence ahead of group matches in Switzerland overnight to commemorate Jota and his brother, André. Players from Belgium and Italy, and later from Spain and Portugal, stood in silence before the games in Sion and Bern, respectively. Meanwhile, fans left wreaths, scarves and shirts at a makeshift shrine outside Anfield. There were also similar scenes outside his previous club Wolves' ground, Molineux. Local police in Spain say they are still investigating the accident. Jota won 49 caps for Portugal, scoring 14 international goals, and last month won the Nations League for a second time. He scored 65 goals in 182 appearances for Liverpool, with nine of those goals coming during last season's Premier League win. He signed for Wolves, initially on loan, from Atlético Madrid in the summer of 2017 and helped Wolves win the Championship in his first season. Jota began his career with Portuguese side Paços de Ferreira before moving to Atlético, where he did not play a game but was loaned out to Porto. His brother spent time in Porto's youth team before playing senior football for Gondomar and second-tier side Penafiel. With PA
