Man United 'end £10m talks with streaming giant' over behind-the-scenes documentary - with Ruben Amorim role key as 'reasons for axing plans are revealed'
Manchester United have 'pulled the plug on a fly-on-the-wall documentary that would have banked them more than £10million'. United had been in talks with Amazon over being the latest side in their All or Nothing series and they were locked in negotiations for months. But according to The Athletic, the club decided on balance that the intrusion could negatively impact performances on the pitch. They report that Ruben Amorim was not comfortable with the arrangement - despite the temptation to cash in with what would have been the highest amount paid for an All or Nothing series. Time pressure of the upcoming campaign and commercial reasons were reportedly other key factors, but ultimately without Amorim's support there was no progress to be made. Opening up United to the cameras during what is a turbulent time at Old Trafford could have made for compelling viewing. Amorim has made his feelings known on Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford, with the Portuguese manager not one to pull punches. United endured an awful season after Amorim took over from sacked Erik ten Hag, leading them to 15th in the Premier League. Missing out on the Champions League by losing the Europa League final against Tottenham was also a massive blow, especially financially. There was support for the documentary from the commercial department but only if the football department agreed. Chief executive Omar Berrada was also said to be on board with the Amazon proposal. The fact that United were happy to go with Amorim's view of a distracting, negative impact shows they are putting their full weight behind him. The club have already signed Matheus Cunha and are closing in on Bryan Mbeumo - two additions who should in theory make United markedly stronger. There remains an issue with outgoings, with Rashford and Garnacho among those the club desperately want to move on. Netflix, Amazon and Disney all reached out to United with interest in making a documentary following a revival under Sir Jim Ratcliffe. But given the poor start to INEOS' stewardship, it is perhaps no surprise there is an unwillingness to push for the access-all-areas show. So far, there have been more than 450 redundancies at the club and Ratcliffe claimed they were in danger of going out of business back in March without his deeply unpopular cost-cutting methods.

Estevao Willian snubs Chelsea offer and reveals what Cole Palmer told him after netting against the Blues in Club World Cup quarter-final
Incoming Chelsea wonderkid Estevao Willian turned down an offer to continue his Club World Cup journey with his new club after his current side were dumped out of the competition by his future one. The 18-year-old, who netted for Palmeiras in their 2-1 last-eight defeat, will complete his move to the Blues later this month. The meeting of the two sides put the teenager in a unique win-win situation, a reality quickly manifested in the offer from Cole Palmer to link up with the Blues squad as they made their way to New York for their semi-final clash against Fluminense. But after enlisting the help of fellow new recruit Dario Essugo, whose linguistic skills deciphered the Mancunian accent Palmer's English invitation was delivered in, Estevao declined and insisted that he needed to say a proper goodbye to his soon-to-be former colleagues. 'I had to ask Essugo what Cole had said to me,' said Estevao. 'He laughed a bit before translating, telling me "Cole said he's excited for you and want you to come with us after the game".' 'I wanted to stay some more time with my team pals,' he added. 'I came here with them. And I should go back to Brazil with them. My heart is broken because only we know how hard we worked. 'But I leave with pride. And I am happy to have a giant club as Chelsea opening its doors to me. 'I just wanted to show my new fans in England who I am. That it is all. I hope to learn. I am sure I come to London to evolve, and to make history there too.' After Saturday's match, Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca spoke glowingly of the winger, teasing an 'important' role for him. 'You can see he is a huge talent,' Maresca said post-match. 'You can see he is a fantastic player. The only thing now is when you come from South America or another part of the world to Europe you need to adapt. 'We are going to help him to adapt and first of all to enjoy football. We don't have any doubt, as he is so good, that he is going to be an important player for Chelsea.' Palmer made a point of embracing Estevao and swapping shirts with him after the final whistle, despite the language barrier. 'I told Estevao we are excited for you to join but he didn't understand a single word I said,' Palmer said. Chelsea struck a deal to sign the prodigy last year but he stayed in Brazil for one more season, and his talents were on show as he was named the player of the match against his future employers. He will shortly join up with their first-team squad. Estevao was, however, visibly emotional after bringing the curtain down on his time at the club which first thrust him into the spotlight.

‘Style and class is lacking' – ‘Sexy' football TV presenter slammed by female colleague over ‘vulgar' outfits
A "SEXY" football TV presenter has been called out by a female colleague over her "vulgar" outfits. Valentina Maceri, who presents Champions League coverage on Swiss broadcaster Blue, was critical of DAZN Italy presenters. 10 10 10 A group of broadcasters have attracted attention in recent weeks at the Club World Cup. They include Loris Karius ' wife Dilette Leotta, Giusy Meloni, Marialuisa Jacobelli, and Eleonora Incardoni, whom Maceri named specifically. The criticism comes after Maceri published her new book - "F*** Female Empowerment: The Great Mistake of Modern Feminism". In the book she writes: "Personally, I would say that the way female reporters present themselves on the sidelines in Italy is sometimes borderline. "I think women should be sexy, but always with style and class. That's sometimes lacking in Italy. Here, the principle that sex sells applies strongly." Maceri, 31, then doubled down in an interview with Bild, slamming Incardoni for "vulgarity". She told the German outlet: "If you want to speak on an equal level with players and officials, it's not conducive. "Incardona mainly deals with DAZN BET – meaning she presents the betting odds. And she does it very sexy. Sometimes vulgarly." Incardoni has stunned in America with her outfit choices. The 34-year-old wore a bra and three-piece suit for one match, and wowed over the weekend in a one-strap brown dress. DAZN host Diletta Leotta puts on a leggy display in bold Club World Cup outfit 10
