Former Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, has told current manager, Jose Mourinho, that they have a “duty to entertain” when they return to the Champions League next season.

United booked their place among the continent’s elite, after a 2-0 win over Ajax in the Europa League final, following a year’s absence.

Ferguson, who won the Champions League twice at Old Trafford, has urged Mourinho and his players to win over doubters and detractors next term.

I think you have a duty and a responsibility to entertain. We have to always remember that there’s a public to be entertained.

In my time at United, it was "as long as you win.” If it was 4-3, OK, or 5-4, OK. My last game was 5-5 (at West Brom in 2013).

I couldn't ask for a better score in my last game at United.

Tyson Fury 'will not apply' for new licence to fight

Image
Former world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he will not reapply for a licence to fight from the British Boxing Board of Control. The 29-year-old had his licence revoked in October 2016 after allegations of doping emerged in June of that year. Fury, who hinted at a comeback in March, tweeted: "After thinking long and hard about my return, I will not be applying for a BBBofC boxing license." "After the way they have handled stuff, no thanks." His decision not to seek a new licence casts Fury's future as a boxer into doubt again, although he has previously appeared to end his career via social media. In October 2016 he tweeted: "I'm the greatest, and I'm also retired" before performing a u-turn three hours later. But he has not fought since November 2015, when he shocked Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf to claim the IBF, WBO and WBA world titles. Fury pulled out of one rematch scheduled for July 2016 with an ankle injury, before withdrawin...

Chelsea's win at Atletico is a sign of the Premier League's revival in Europe

Image
 Some results mean more than others and have a greater impact, but one statistic underlines the magnitude of Chelsea's 2-1 Champions League victory on Wednesday at Atletico Madrid. Atletico have faced English clubs in Europe on countless occasions over the years, starting with a European Cup Winners' Cup clash against Leicester City in 1961. Until Michy Batshuayi struck with a 94th-minute winner for the Premier League champions in the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, they had never lost to a visitor from England on home turf. Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool have all previously tried and failed to win at Atletico, as have Leicester, Derby County, Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers. But on their very first European night at their new stadium, Atletico surrendered their proud record against English opponents and, more importantly, could have no complaints about doing so. In a week that has seen the Premier League giants cruise to impressive Champions ...

Liverpool have confirmed the agreement of a club-record deal to sign RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita next summer. The Reds will pay the £48m release clause that will allow Keita to join the club, as well as an undisclosed premium. Keita completed a medical on Monday and will officially join Liverpool on July 1 next year. The fee will also surpass the £39.5m paid to Roma for Mohamed Salah this summer. The Guinea international said: "I am delighted that an agreement has been reached and I will become part of a project that excites me greatly. "My commitment to RBL remains absolute for the remainder of my time at the club. I have given my all every time I have worn the shirt - that will be the case until the final whistle, in my final appearance. "Having my future resolved means I can now focus on helping RBL achieve great things this season. Until I join my new club, next summer, I will remain an interested supporter from a distance." Li...
