Man Utd fan admits ‘slap' assault on Man City's Grealish
Alfie Holt, 20, pleaded guilty to a single count of assault on Grealish, who he said had called him a 'little ugly wanker', after the Manchester Derby in April, Manchester Magistrates' Court heard. Holt, a Manchester United season ticket holder in the Stretford End, was also given a three-year Football Banning Order and was fined £120, with £85 costs and a surcharge of £48. The defendant, of Haven Drive, Droylsden, Tameside, told the court: 'I did not expect him to say what he said to me and I have reacted. I regret it. That's it.' Shazia Aslam, prosecuting, told the court Grealish was leaving the field after the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford, which was broadcast on Sky TV with a sell-out crowd and was always a 'contentious affair.' 'Both sets of fans were very vocal, shouting abusive comments to rival players,' Ms Aslam said. The court heard that as players left the field, heading for the tunnel, Holt stood very close by, shouting abuse at Man City players. 'As the complainant, Jack Grealish, a Man City player, enters the tunnel area, he hears the defendant shouting comments towards him. He turns and walks towards him. Both have an exchange of words. 'As the complainant walks away, the defendant slaps the complainant across the face. There was no injury. He was arrested outside the stadium.' In a witness statement, Grealish told police he could not hear what the defendant was shouting due to the crowd noise, so he walked towards him and tried to engage in conversation and leaned in to speak to the defendant. He was still unable to hear, so he moved to walk away when he was slapped. Alfie Holt admitted assault to Jack Grealish as he appeared in the dock at Manchester Magistrates' Court (Danny Lawson PA) After his arrest, Holt told police he had been drinking before the game 'in town' and went to the match with his father. He told police he was shouting abuse at Man City players, including Phil Foden, who ignored him. He then shouted, 'Knobhead' at Grealish, who reacted and a 'verbal altercation took place,' the court heard. Holt told police Grealish said to him: 'You little, ugly wanker,' and he 'flipped' and reached out and slapped the footballer. Magistrates were shown a brief clip of the incident, which had no sound. Ms Aslam added: 'The defendant uses force against a player. Players are extremely vulnerable to this sort of conduct and need to be protected.' Melanie Winstantley, defending, said Holt had no previous convictions and had never been arrested before, so the incident was completely out of character for him. His Man Utd season ticket, which he has had for 12 years, had already been revoked, which is a 'significant punishment' to him. She added: 'He's admitted what he's done, he's owned what he's done. It's a very minor assault.' Ms Winstanley also said Grealish had 'doubled back' after going into the tunnel to speak to Holt. She added: 'He didn't have to do that. It's not unusual for players and fans to engage in banter at football matches. I'm not trying to excuse the behaviour.' Passing sentence, chairwoman of the magistrates' bench Jill Hodges told the defendant she accepted Holt had pleaded guilty and he appeared to regret his actions, but there must be 'punishment and deterrence' for such behaviour. The court heard fines cannot be deducted from Holt's Personal Independence Payments, so his parents, who he lives with, have agreed to pay them in full within 28 days.

Ruben Amorim bans Man Utd bomb squad – including Marcus Rashford – from training ground until team-mates have gone home
MANCHESTER UNITED'S five outcasts have all been called back to work – but they will only train once the rest of the squad have gone home. Ruben Amorim decided ten days ago that Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia should stay away from first team training. 6 6 6 They were given extra time off to find new clubs – but as yet nothing has been finalised. So the quintet have now been told to return to Carrington although they will all report around 5pm once the manager and his chosen players have departed. And as yet there are no plans to re-integrate any of them into the main group. Amorim has put his players through their paces in the morning and early afternoon – so the first team squad will be long gone by the time the five report. United made it clear at the time their facilities would remain available to the players even though they are excluded from training. Rashford and Garnacho have both taken advantage of that offer and are believed to have trained together last Thursday. The England forward arrived just eight minutes after his manager had gone home – and the only other players left at the complex were the Under 10s. Rashford is eager to work around whatever obstacles he must to stay on top form and maintain the possibility of a move materialising later in the window. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS On Monday he was seen leaving a gym in Salford after a four-hour session training alone while waiting for the 5pm curfew to pass. 6 6 Now the 27-year-old and his four fellow exiles have also been told they will be expected to clock in this weekend. Juventus want Rashford! However Amorim and his players are heading for Sweden on Friday night ready for a pre-season game against Leeds in Stockholm the following day. And the following Tuesday, those selected will fly to the USA for a three-match tour spread over two weeks. Rashford is hoping Barcelona will firm up their interest and offer him an escape route to the Nou Camp in the coming weeks. Sancho is expected to join Juventus – while Garnacho has been linked with Chelsea and has also turned down a move to Saudi Arabia. Real Betis are hopeful they can lure Antony back to them after he impressed during a loan spell earlier this year. 6 And Celtic are leading the chase to land defender Malacia who has endured a miserable couple of years with injury. United are hoping to raise money from the five exiles to boost Amorim's spending power this summer. A £65million move for Brentford's Bryan Mbuemo has been lined up but the Cameroon returned to training with the Bees on Monday with nothing resolved. Amorim would love to have the 25-year-old in the squad that flies to the US next week for games against Bournemouth, West Ham and Everton.

Little-known Chelsea star who started season at BARNSLEY cosies up to glam girlfriend after winning Club World Cup
GABRIEL SLONINA cosied up to his glam girlfriend after winning the Club World Cup with Chelsea. The American goalie, 21, triumphed on home soil as his Blues side beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in New Jersey on Sunday. 13 13 13 13 Slonina, who joined Chelsea in 2022, is yet to make a senior appearance for the Londoners. But he was still awarded a gold medal from President Donald Trump after being part of Enzo Maresca's squad for the summer tournament. And after collecting his prize, Slonina was joined on the field by his stunning partner. Amila Adna Adzemovic hails from Norway. Her LinkedIn profile says she works in communications for a Norwegian sales company. It is unknown how long Amila and Slonina have been dating each other. But the couple looked loved-up on the pitch as they toasted Chelsea's success. Amila showed her support for Slonina by wearing a Chelsea shirt with his name on the back. Later she took a POV photo holding the gold medal her other half had around his neck. And Amila commented on more snaps by saying: 'I always win with you.' Club World Cup final descends into huge brawl as PSG manager Luis Enrique SLAPS Chelsea's Joao Pedro in face 13 13 13 Slonina signed for Chelsea from Chicago Fire for £8million in August 2022. He remained at the MLS side until January 2023 before moving to Stamford Bridge. Six months later Slonina was loaned to Belgian side Eupen, where he played 34 times as they were relegated from the top flight. Last summer Slonina moved to Barnsley in League One, but his loan ended after 14 appearances in January due to injury. The one-time USA international is still waiting to make his senior bow for Chelsea. But he could be waiting a while, with Robert Sanchez currently No1 ahead of Filip Jorgensen. Mike Penders has also joined Chelsea this summer, while the Blues could yet reprise their interest in AC Milan star Mike Maignan. 13 13 13
