Man Utd sign ex-Man City defender Aoife Mannion

Hosting Newcastle at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening, if you'd have asked someone to fill in the blank of 'Manchester City have the most [?] this season', most people would probably quip something along the lines of 'goals' or 'chances created'. Y'know, something good. Many probably wouldn't have known that City have now made more changes to their starting lineup than any other side in the Premier League this season. 125, to be precise. Which is, like, loads. No Premier League team has...

Source: Pulisic agrees to join Milan from Chelsea

Right wingers come in all shapes and sizes. For every scheming, diminutive trickster there is a sprinter-turned-footballer who relies on speed to get past their man. Then there's the wide playmakers...or the fat bloke in your Sunday League team who's partial to a cheeky step over - but not much else. No matter what your favourite genre of right winger is, they're likely to be represented in this list. Well, maybe not the last one actually. This is the cream of the crop you see. Garrincha...

Roma are said to be ready to step up their efforts to keep hold of Chris Smalling at the club as they prepare a new offer for the central defender.
