  • GREEN AND MEAN

    MASON GREENWOOD struck twice in the second-half to keep Manchester United’s faint title hopes flickering.

    The Red Devils looked set to drop points at home against Burnley for a fifth straight season when James Tarkowski headed them level early in the second-half.

    But just six minutes from time Greenwood collected a pass from Paul Pogba and his shot was deflected off Jack Cork before beating Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

    This win cuts City’s lead at the top to eight points with six games apiece remaining – and while it remains possible United are clearly not for chucking in the towel.

  • EURO MILLIONS

    THE Prem Big Six have signed up to join a breakaway European Super League.

    In a dramatic development, less than 24 hours before Uefa is due to confirm its planned revamp of the Champions League, English football’s richest clubs have agreed to be part of the new elite.

    And the group is ready to formally announce the breakaway later today, with a potential launch of either next season or the 2022-23 campaign.

    The plans, pushed by Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United and AC Milan, are backed by the financial muscle of US investment giant JP Morgan.

    Clubs joining the proposed Super League could earn up to £310m as an initial “golden hello” plus a minimum £130m each season from their share of a £3.1billion total pot.

  • SOLSKJAER ON SUPER LEAGUE

    Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisted that his focus was on todays game and not on the Super League.

  • MORE FROM NEVILLE

    Gary Neville had more to say on the Super League and calls for the clubs involved to be punished.

  • FA STATEMENT

    Here's the FA's statement.

  • SUPER LEAGUE

    The proposed 'European Super League' has been met with some backlash from fans across the world as well as ex pros.

    Gary Neville, has absolutely unloaded on the big six who are reportedly part of the plans for this new league.

    He said he is especially disappointed with his former club Man Utd who he has supported for the best part of 40 years.

    And he also took aim at Liverpool, who pride themselves on the motto 'You'll never walk alone' - and these plans are far from supportive and collective.

    Football as a sport is built on the foundations of working hard, training to be the best you can be in order to compete in the best competitions and compete against the best teams around the world.

    I'm not going to bore you and make you read a transcript of what Neville said.... take a listen for yourself!
