    FIFA says teams were warned before the tournament that officials would punish blocking offences like the one that saw Jonathan Tah’s extra-time goal against Paraguay ruled out by VAR review during their controversial last-32 defeat.

    Referees chief Pierluigi Collina said players who move to obstruct opponents without playing the ball can be penalised, especially around goalkeepers. Germany later lost on penalties after the last-32 tie finished 1-1, deepening the fallout.

    Manchester United have agreed a £35m deal with Atalanta for Ederson, but his late Brazil call-up means the midfielder’s medical will wait until Carlo Ancelotti’s side are knocked out of the World Cup, strengthening midfield plans.

    United are still chasing midfield reinforcements after missing out on Elliot Anderson and Mateus Fernandes. Club officials insist their recruitment strategy remains calm, with the Premier League opener still seven weeks away and more transfer window time available.
