Toe injury to keep Rooney out tomorrow vs NEW

Wayne Rooney has been ruled out of Manchester United's match with Newcastle tomorrow because of a toe injury, and is in danger of missing the second leg of Champions League play next week.

Critical news late in the week as most fantasy managers probably have their XI's set, but any squad containing Rooney will now have to be reshuffled. With Robin van Persie also sidelined, the Red Devils attack, which hasn't exactly been dependable this season to begin with, will have to call upon Danny Welbeck and/or Javier Hernandez to lead the line. Welbeck is probably the better bet for the start but temper expectations without United's key player there to create the chances.

Newcastle plotting swoop for Leicester winger

Newcastle United have reportedly made Leicester City's Tom Lawrence a top target as they look to strengthen their squad for their Premier League return.

The 23-year-old is coming off an impressive season-long loan at Ipswich. Lawrence scored 11 goals and provided 11 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions, earning the club's player of the season award and the attention of Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez. It's understood the newly-promoted club have carried out background checks in preparation for a bid for Lawrence as Benitez looks to reinforce the spine of his midfield, with Yoan Gouffran and Vurnon Anita set to leave this summer. Lawrence, speaking on his future earlier this month, said: "I've got a long summer ahead and we'll see what happens. There's a possibility of many different things, but I don't know my future yet, I've got a lot of discussions to have."

Man City leave Joe Hart hanging

The future of Joe Hart remains uncertain after the England international confirmed he would not be returning to Torino following his season-long loan.

There had been a suggestion in the British press that Pep Guardiola was ready to hand the 30-year-old a lifeline after Claudio Bravo failed to convince anyone of his goalkeeping credentials and Willy Caballero was released. However, it now looks like those reports were a little wide of the mark. The Citizens have been heavily linked with a £35m move for Brazilian Ederson who admitted on Sunday that he had "probably" played his last game for Benfica. There are several potential Premier League suitors, his preferred destination, with manager less Crystal Palace reportedly leading the way for Hart's signature. City rivals United have also been linked, but it would only be on the premise that Jose Mourinho had sanctioned David De Gea's departure, something which he vehemently denied earlier this month.

Grosicki attracts interest from PL new boys

Premier League new boys, Newcastle United, are said to be keen on Hull City’s highly rated winger Kamil Grosicki.

The 28-year-old almost helped the Tigers complete a remarkable turnaround following his arrival in January. In 12 league starts, Grosicki provided three assists, but created 21 chances, more than any other player at the club during the same period. The Poland international will be leaving the KCOM Stadium come June, as he has a relegation release clause in current deal, but what remains uncertain is where Grosicki will end up. New Watford manager and former boss Marco Silva is said to be keen on being reunited with the player he signed from French club Rennes. However, local press suggest Rafa Benitez has made a move, as he looks to strengthen his squad after winning promotion from the Championship.

Rooney has 'more or less' decided on future

It will prove to be a summer of intrigue for Wayne Rooney, but the forward said he has a good idea of what he wants to do.

"More or less, yeah...I've got decisions to make now over the next few weeks, have a word with my family, and then I'll decide. I think I just have to make a decision in terms of a football decision, and that's what I'll do. I'll do that the next few weeks with my family while I'm away and, honestly, as soon as I know what's going on then, I'm sure you [will know]." The Manchester United icon has been linked with a move to China while also drawing interest from Stoke City and Everton after becoming a glorified substitute under Jose Mourinho this summer.

Pep: Aguero, Kompany to stay at City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed that Vincent Kompany and Sergio Aguero are expected to remain with the club.

Despite the recent shakeup, including the release of five first-team players who received signficant playing time last season, the veteran duo won't be a part of the departures. However, they will face a challenge to retain their starting positions with Gabriel Jesus and John Stones pushing them for a full season. Said Guardiola: "They will be at Man City next season. They improved a lot, Vincent playing eight or nine games in a row, and we saw something special with him...But we finished 15 points behind Chelsea. Sergio helped us a lot, now we have to find him a better solution and not just depend on Sergio to score goals."

Carrick signs on for another year at Man Utd

Manchester United's midfield stalwart Michael Carrick has signed a one year extension to his contract which will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2018.

The 35 year old playmaker's contract was due to expire in June, and Carrick had previously suggested that he would hang up his boots if no offer materialised from United. Carrick signed for Alex Ferguson's side from Spurs back in 2006 and has enjoyed a trophy-laden spell at the club since then. The veteran was relegated to a bit-part role in the early stages of José Mourinho's reign this term, making just three PL appearances before December. As United toiled, the manager turned toward Carrick's game management and ball-playing skills to add an edge to the team in possession. The experiment was successful and Carrick nailed down a regular starting role to compliment Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera. Carrick is "delighted" to be staying at the club, while Mourinho similarly expressed that sentiment.

United tie up Antonio Valencia with new deal

Manchester United full-back Antonio Valencia has signed a new contract which will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2019, with an option to extend that by a further 12 months.

The Ecuadorian right-back arrived at United in 2009 from Wigan originally as a midfielder. In the last few years he has undergone a transformation to become one of the PL's best right-backs to the extent that he has put pen to paper on this deal just months after being rewarded with an extension to his previous contract in January. United manager José Mourinho hailed the news that United's Players' Player of the Year would be at Old Trafford for longer: "... I truly believe it is a real privilege for us to have such a good player and such a good man. I am delighted he has extended his contract." Valencia appeared 44 times for the Red Devils this season, scoring once against Middlesbrough. "Manchester United has been my life since 2009 and I am absolutely delighted to have signed a new contract," he said in the club's official statement.

Jordan could have his Pick of clubs

Unsurprisingly, the future of Jordan Pickford has been afforded a lot of column inches recently with West Ham being the latest club linked to the Sunderland stopper.

The 23-year-old started the 2016/17 campaign as second choice to Vito Mannone, but following a serious elbow injury in August, Pickford grabbed his chance to shine as the Black Cats number one and hasn’t looked back. Pickford was one of six candidates nominated for PFA Young Player of the Year award, but despite missing out on the big prize, he did pick up an award for North East Young Player [from the Football Writers’ Association] and the supporters Young Player of the Year. His performances haven’t gone unnoticed, and following Sunderland’s relegation to the Championship, Pickford is expected to leave the Stadium of Light. Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton have all been linked with the future England star and now it seems as if West Ham would like to join the party with Adrian plus cash being dangled to tempt the manager less Black Cats to part with their prize asset.

Varela slams Frankfurt over disciplinary

Manchester United defender Guillermo Varela has hit back at Eintracht Frankfurt after he was suspended and fined by the club for getting a tattoo against the wishes of coach Niko Kovac.

News broke earlier this week that the 24-year-old would be returning to United, his parent club with immediate effect, a move which meant the Uruguayan would miss this weekend’s DFB Pokal final. In an official statement, Frankfurt announced that Varela’s arm had become infected and that he would head back to Manchester effectively bringing an end to his season long loan deal. But Varela has hit back at the club’s handling of the situation: "I've been nailed to the cross as if I'd violently attacked the coach or done something else," he told German magazine Sueddeutsche Zeitung. "I wonder what Real Madrid would have to do with Sergio Ramos. He gets tattooed every week. I can't explain why I've been punished so hard." Varela went onto add that he would "never do anything to harm my team" and that he feels his name has been "besmirched" as a consequence.

Offers flooding in for Zlatan

Mino Raiola, the agent of Zlatan Ibrahimović, insists the Swedish superstar is still attracting a lot of interest despite being currently sidelined by a serious knee injury.

Ibrahimović ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in April, and following reconstruction surgery in the United States earlier this month, he is expected to miss the remainder of 2017. However, amid suggestion that he may never play competitively again, Raiola believes his client still has at least one more season in him, most likely within Europe, although there are no guarantees that it will be at United. Zlatan stalled on signing a one year extension to his current deal, which means he will become a free agent when his contract expires at the end of June. "I do not know if he will stay at Manchester United, many clubs want him," Raiola told Sky Sports. "Ibrahimović will certainly play for another season or probably two. We will talk about his future. He has many offers, certainly he will stay in Europe."

Arsenal win their record 13th FA Cup title

Led by goals from Aaron Ramsey and Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal beat Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley Stadium to win the 2016-17 FA Cup title.

After a season that saw the club and manager heavily criticized for finishing fifth in the league there was a silver lining in the form of an FA Cup title. Not only did the Gunners best league champions Chelsea but they were the better side for long stretches of the match. They could have easily scored five on the day with Ramsey, Ozil, and Welbeck going close in addition to the two goals they did score. The win was all the more impressive with Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi, and Gabriel all missing from Arsenal's central defense.
