Tottenham fire back at infamous Sir Alex Ferguson jibe as they release clothing range toasting Europa League final win over Man United
Tottenham fans have been stunned with their latest product range toasting their Europa League final success taking aim at Sir Alex Ferguson 's infamous jibe at the club. Last month's all-Premier League Europa League final saw Tottenham earn a narrow 1-0 victory over Man United to clinch their first major silverware for 17 years. Victory for Ange Postecoglou 's side also earned qualification for next season's Champions League, although Thomas Frank will take charge of the campaign following the Australian's sacking earlier this month. The triumph was the most important of four straight wins over Man United last season, with the defeat also leaving the Red Devils facing a season outside of European competition. Following the final, images had surfaced of t-shirts reportedly produced by Man United fans preparing to celebrate Europa League success over Tottenham. The t-shirts had been printed with the date of the final, the Europa League logo and the phrase 'Lads, it's Tottenham'. Legendary Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was claimed by former captain Roy Keane have used the phrase ahead of a match against Tottenham during his trophy-laden reign as Red Devils boss. Ferguson's four-word comment was viewed as a dig at Tottenham's perceived fragility, with the jibe having been often repeated during their 17 years without a trophy. Tottenham appear to have looked to take ownership over the phrase after downing Man United themselves to win a competition. The club used the statement on social media during their trophy parade last month, while a latest product range features the words emblazoned onto hoodies and t-shirts. Tottenham's club shop is currently selling a navy adult hoodie with the phrase embroidered for £55. A t-shirt featuring the words has been priced at £30 by the club. ''Lad's its Tottenham', THIS IS BRILLIANT,' one fan account wrote on social media. 'THFC are currently selling these hoodies and t-shirts in the official club shop.' 'No way have the club released 'lads it's Tottenham t-shirts on the official website,' another said. Tottenham have put hoodies and t-shirts featuring the phrase on sale on their official website Tottenham fans lauded the club for taking ownership of the phrase after beating Man United A third wrote 'The 'lads it's Tottenham' text is too small, if the club's gonna use it they gotta use it with confidence and zero shame'. While Ferguson has never confirmed whether he made the jibe at Tottenham, fans were quick to note his reaction to the final defeat last month. Ferguson had watched the final alongside Man United co-owner Jim Ratcliffe and Avram Glazer in Bilbao. Fans had suggested the 83-year-old had looked disgusted following Man United's loss in the final, which compounded a miserable season for the club as Ruben Amorim's side slumped to a 15th place finish in the Premier League.

Ex-Man United boss Erik ten Hag meets Robbie Williams after attending the popstar's gig in Amsterdam as he enjoys his summer before starting work at Bayer Leverkusen
Former Man United boss Erik ten Hag reunited with Robbie Williams after attending the popstar's latest gig in Amsterdam. Ten Hag was back at the Johan Cruyff ArenA on Sunday night, the venue he had called home as manager of Ajax from 2018 to 2022. The stadium had been the latest stop on Williams' Britpop tour across Europe, with Ten Hag among the attendees. Ten Hag met Williams backstage following the gig, with the singer sharing a photo of them on Instagram. 'Two incredible nights in Amsterdam… that was fun. All the love, Rob,' Williams posted with nine images from his stop in the Netherlands. Accompanying the picture with Ten Hag, Williams also showed where his football loyalties lie by posing next to a banner in honour of his local club Port Vale, which read 'The Valiants, Port Vale, Est. 1876'. It was not the first time Ten Hag had come across Williams, with the 'Angles' singer having previously visited Man United during the Dutchman's time as manager. Williams had been given a tour of Man United's Carrington training ground in 2022 by Harry Maguire. The defender, who is friends with Williams, also organised for the star to meet members of the squad during their pre-season tour in Los Angeles last summer. Ten Hag is joining some final time off before returning to management, after being sacked by Man United last season. He was dismissed from Old Trafford in October with Man United lying 14th in the Premier League after winning just four of their opening 14 matches. His departure came despite the club triggering a one-year contract extension last summer. Ten Hag's extension followed him leading the club to the FA Cup, having also won the Carabao Cup in his first full season in charge. He was appointed as manager of Bayer Leverkusen on a two-year deal last month, with the Dutchman succeeding Xabi Alonso as boss after his move to Real Madrid.

Viktor Gyökeres decides to leave Sporting this summer; informs the club
Sensational striker Viktor Gyökeres is in the media since the start of the window as the striker is been performing amazingly well in last 2 seasons and there are clubs behind him. Earlier, it was expected that the striker doesn't want to leave but now he has communicated his decision that Viktor doesn't want to stay at Sporting and will look for other options. Arsenal and Man United are interested, but the striker prefers Champions League football and thus Arsenal's move is most likely to happen. Sensational striker Viktor Gyökeres has been one of the hottest names in the transfer market since the window opened, thanks to his outstanding performances over the past two seasons with Sporting CP. The Swedish forward has consistently delivered in front of goal, attracting serious interest from top European clubs. Advertisement Initially, it appeared that Gyökeres was content at Sporting and had no intention of moving. However, in a recent development, the striker has now communicated his decision to leave the Portuguese side in search of a new challenge. Premier League giants Arsenal and Manchester United are both keeping close tabs on the 26-year-old, but sources close to the player suggest that Champions League football is a priority—making Arsenal the likely frontrunner in the race.
