United’s early talks with Jorge Mendes faded once Adeyemi made his preference clear, while off the pitch he publicly apologised for receiving a knuckleduster and taser in an online “mystery box,” accepting a heavy fine and calling the episode a reckless mistake he vows not to repeat.

Diaz scored twice before his dismissal in Bayern’s crucial win over PSG, but UEFA deemed his late challenge dangerously reckless as Hakimi suffered a severe ankle sprain.

The plan would tie maximum wage spending to five times the revenue of the bottom club, which critics say could weaken English giants in Europe and face legal challenges from players and clubs, putting Friday’s shareholders’ vote and the whole project in doubt.
