@FabrizioRomano Keep politics out of football

🚨 OFFICIAL: Iran will play at the 2026 World Cup, says FIFA president Gianni Infantino. “It’s very clear, Iran will be there and our responsibility is to unite”.

@FabrizioRomano The day he retires will be a sad day for the whole football world.

❤️‍🩹 Cristiano Ronaldo: “The end of my career is getting closer… let’s enjoy every game”. “I keep playing not only for this generation, but also for the previous one and the one coming next. I enjoy it day by day, game by game, year by year, even as I get closer to the end of my career. That’s a fact”. “My career has been brilliant and I want to keep it that way. I still enjoy it, I keep scoring goals… but above all, it’s about winning. And we really want to win the league”, told @CanalGOATBR.

🚨 Michael Jackson will be Burnley’s interim manager until the end of the season, club statement confirms. Follows Scott Parker leaving with immediate effect.

@FabrizioRomano What a stupid statement. Been away from football for so long he has clearly lost it.

🚨 Mason Mount: “I think next season we can win the Premier League”, told Daily Mail.

@WinMike32 Disagree. Love watching football for the goals personally. Hate watching two teams park the bus against each other.

@Ryanair They are not going to go ahead with this interview 🤣🤣 there is not 1 serious question

do you dribble the ball out of play on purpose?

@Footballtweet Wait until next season when there is no world cup squad to play for. He will play less than 15 games.

👏 Can we just take a minute to applaud Luke Shaw on an incredible turnaround in his fitness story. He is now just four games away from starting all 38 Premier League matches this season and it’ll be the first time he’s featured in every single league game since joining Manchester United 12 years ago. For years fans would say; 'if only he could stay fit' and now that's exactly what he's doing. As always in football, your best ability is availability.

@FabrizioRomano Brilliant news. He is a generational player. A mix of Pogba and Roy Keane.

🚨✍🏿 Kobbie Mainoo has just signed his new contract at Manchester United, valid until June 2031. The announcement will be this week. Exclusive story from yesterday, confirmed.

@OluwaNatioqve @centredevils Finished 2nd under ole and 3rd under ten hag, they were both sacked.

@StretfordWire @centredevils When last does united finish the season on the third position of the table?

🚨🚨🎙️| Michael Carrick on uncertainty over if he will get the job permanently and if he has been involved in discussions for next season: “There are discussions going on, you have to make a plan as a football club. Forget me, you have to plan for moving forward. I am not here just to make decisions short-term, I want the best for the football club.”

@SkySportsPL Gyokeres definitely isnt

Is Julian Alvarez the number 9 Arsenal really need? 🔴

@FabrizioRomano Brilliant deal for the club. He's been very important for them in recent years

🚨✍🏿 Exclusive story confirmed: Edmond Tapsoba has signed a new five year deal at Bayer Leverkusen, as revealed.

@Footballtweet Even Luis Enrique can appreciate the brilliance of the Bayern forward line

🗣️ Luis Enrique: “Kane 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Diaz 🇨🇴. Olise 🇫🇷. WHERE DO THESE GUYS COME FROM?!? MY GOODNESS.” 😱

🚨 ON THIS DAY IN 2008 Paul Scholes scores the only goal in a 1-0 win over #FCBarcelona to progress to the UCL Final. You know the rest.... #MUFC #ManUtd

@FabrizioRomano We watched a true European classic tonight... next week will be even better bring it on!

🚨 Luis Enrique: “I asked my staff how many goals we need to score at Allianz Arena to qualify… and the feeling is at least three”. 🍿

@FabrizioRomano Spurs have been shocking with these players. Of course I dont like players getting injured, but they are still in the bottom 3 even with these players fit.

🚨 After Kudus, Cuti Romero and Xavi Simons, also Dominic Solanke’s season could be over. He’s has suffered a grade-two hamstring injury, as Telegraph reported. Spurs expect to be difficult to see him involved again this season.

@FabrizioRomano I wonder who tried to buy him from the Premier league

🚨🔴⚫️ EXCLUSIVE: Edmond Tapsoba has agreed to sign new contract at Bayer Leverkusen, here we go! Salary will be increased at highest level for a defender, as Leverkusen rejected a €40m bid from Premier League.

@KPmufc £60m is very high based on his performance this season. He's either really shit or has a poor mentality after a move didnt materialise. Thats a big gamble.

@DeadlineDayLive @La_SER Chelsea will not want to part with their only decent signing of the last 2 seasons.

🚨 João Pedro has emerged as a potential ALTERNATIVE target to Julián Álvarez for Barcelona. 🇧🇷 Atletico Madrid are expected to demand over £100M for the Argentine, which would be too expensive for Barça. (Source: @La_SER)

@JacobsBen @tombogert @PaulTenorio So they will become Vegas Whitecaps?

Vancouver Whitecaps' owners say their "strong preference" is to remain in Vancouver. However, a potential move to Las Vegas has been seriously explored, as @tombogert and @PaulTenorio first reported. The club confirm "well-documented structural challenges around stadium economics, venue access, and revenue limitations that have made it difficult to attract buyers committed to keeping the team in Vancouver." Whitecaps add over the past 16 months they have spoken to over 100 parties with "no viable offer" to keep the club in Vancouver.🇨🇦
