Marcus Rashford doesn't deserve move to Barcelona: Sheringham slams Man United star
'You strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like United, and when you're there, you appreciate it. You don't throw it away and say you want to leave. I find the whole episode very soul-destroying,' Sheringham said.Manchester United appear to be planning for a future without Rashford. The club recently confirmed the arrival of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the Brazilian forward set to take over the iconic No. 10 shirt. It is a strong indicator that the club may be preparing for a change in its attacking setup.Sheringham did not hold back in his assessment of Rashford's reported desire to move to Spain, arguing that the striker has not done enough to earn such a high-profile switch.'I hope Rashford doesn't get the move that he's hankering for. If you go from Manchester United to Barcelona, that is a step up he hasn't deserved,' he added.Apart from Cunha and full-back Diego Leone, Manchester United have yet to make significant additions in the transfer market. With Rashford's place in the team increasingly uncertain, the coming weeks could prove decisive in determining whether he stays at Old Trafford or seeks a fresh start elsewhere in Europe.- EndsMust Watch

Mbeumo thrilled to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps at Manchester United
Bryan Mbeumo says he is excited to be following in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps at the 'biggest club in the world' after signing for Manchester United. After weeks of drawn-out talks, the 25-year-old finally completed his move from Brentford on Monday for £65 million ($87 million) plus a potential £6 million in add-ons. The forward has signed a deal with the 'club of my dreams' until 2030, with the option of a further season. 'From the start I wanted to join this club, this massive club, and now I'm here and I'm just really happy,' the Cameroon international told club media on Tuesday. 'For me, it's the biggest club in the world, in England as well. I think the fans are crazy, the stadium is amazing, and I think every player wants to play here. 'I think my first top was a Manchester United top with Ronaldo behind. It's just such a big club and I'm really happy to be here.' Mbeumo is manager Ruben Amorim's third signing of the summer transfer window after the arrivals of forward Matheus Cunha and left-back Diego Leon. The right-winger, who scored 20 Premier League goals for Brentford last season, has been signed to boost United's firepower.

Mbeumo played at Brentford under Thomas Frank, who has since moved on to Tottenham, and he believes Amorim has a similar approach. 'I think they have similar values,' he said. 'He seems really close to his players and his mentality, his winning thinking every time. This is a thing that I need. 'It seems to be a really good group. I think the spirit is really important for winning. I heard only good things about the team.' The Red Devils head to the United States for their pre-season tour on Tuesday. Their first Premier League game of the season is at home to Arsenal on August 17.

Bryan Mbeumo Reveals His Connection With Cristiano Ronaldo: 'My First Manchester United...'
Last Updated: Mbeumo joins Manchester United from Brentford for £65 million. The Cameroon forward signed until 2030, inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo. He's Ruben Amorim's third summer signing. Bryan Mbeumo says it feels surreal to be joining 'the biggest club in the world," where he expects to recapture the lost glory after completing his long-anticipated transfer to Manchester United. The Cameroon international signed from Brentford on Monday in a deal worth £65 million ($87 million), with an additional £6 million in potential add-ons. The 25-year-old forward has agreed to a contract running until 2030, with an option for one more season. Speaking to United's media team on Tuesday, Mbeumo described the move as a dream come true. 'From the start, I wanted to join this club—this massive club—and now that I'm here, I'm just really happy," he said. 'For me, it's the biggest club in the world, in England as well. I think the fans are crazy, the stadium is amazing, and I think every player wants to play here." He also revealed his childhood connection to United, inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo. 'I think my first top was a Manchester United top with Ronaldo on the back. It's just such a big club, and I'm really happy to be here." Mbeumo becomes the third addition of the summer under new manager Ruben Amorim, joining forward Matheus Cunha and teenage defender Diego Leon. United, who finished a disappointing 15th in the league last season, are looking to revamp their attack after scoring just 44 goals in 38 games. The former Brentford winger, who netted 20 goals last season, is seen as a major piece in that rebuild. Mbeumo spoke highly of Amorim, comparing him to his former manager Thomas Frank, now at Tottenham. 'I think they have similar values," he noted. 'He seems really close to his players, with a winning mentality—that's something I need." 'It seems to be a really good group. Spirit is really important to winning, and I've only heard good things about the team." United will begin their pre-season tour in the United States on Tuesday. Their 2025–26 Premier League campaign kicks off at home against Arsenal on August 17. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

IND vs ENG: Rishabh Pant out? Shubman Gill reveals crucial update on India wicketkeeper
India captain Shubman Gill speaks to the media during a press conference in Manchester, England (Photo by) Shubman Gill , speaking ahead of the 4th Test in Manchester, did not hold back against the hosts as he criticised England's time-wasting tactics during the Lord's Test. He also provided several key updates ahead of the all-important penultimate Test, where a win for England would seal the series in their favour. India fell heartbreakingly short at Lord's, where a marathon effort from Ravindra Jadeja wasn't enough to take them over the line. As England secured a 22-run victory, Gill and his men were left to rue the missed chances. Addressing the media, India captain Gill offered a crucial update on wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant , who has been a lively presence in the Indian squad and an indispensable figure, both with the bat and behind the stumps. Substitute Dhruv Jurel took over wicketkeeping duties for most of the 3rd Test after Pant injured his left index finger attempting a diving stop off Jasprit Bumrah's delivery on Day 1. However, Pant still contributed with the bat, scoring 74 in the first innings and 9 in the second. Shubman Gill explosive press conference: Hits back at England and big revelation on India Playing XI Gill confirmed during the press conference that Rishabh Pant will resume wicketkeeping duties. The 27-year-old recently made headlines when the Indian team visited Premier League side Manchester United. He shared pictures with United goalkeeper Tom Heaton, as the duo engaged in a light-hearted exchange of keeping skills. Additionally, Gill discussed the team's tactical plans, saying, 'Nine-ten players are mostly same for every condition. That one or two players change depending on conditions. We have been discussing about starting and closing sessions well. Sometimes it's not in your control." Poll How crucial is Rishabh Pant's return to wicketkeeping for India? Extremely crucial Not very important Acknowledging the challenge posed by injuries to the bowling unit, he said, "Akash Deep is unavailable, so is Arshdeep, but we have good players in the team to pick twenty wickets. It is not ideal to have different bowlers, but I was prepared." With the series at a crucial juncture and India needing a win to stay alive, all eyes will be on Gill and his side as they look to pull off a strong comeback at Old Trafford.
