Former Chelsea manager Ruud Gullit (Picture: Getty) Ruud Gullit believes that Marcus Rashford’s return to Manchester United could prove to be the ‘best Premier League signing of the summer’. Rashford’s time in Manchester appeared to be up when he joined Barcelona on loan last summer, a deal that was expected to be made permanent in a £26million deal. The 28-year-old had made no bones about his desire to extend his stay at the club, but the Catalan giants instead decided to pursue a deal for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon. After a break following the World Cup, Rashford has now joined up with United’s pre-season training, watching from the sidelines as the Red Devils drew 1-1 against Leeds United on Wednesday.

And while an exit from Old Trafford appeared far more likely earlier in the summer, a lack of serious suitors prepared to meet United’s £40m asking price means the Englishman now looks set to return to his boyhood club. But former Chelsea manager Gullit expects Rashford to come back to the Premier League with a point to prove, and believes keeping the winger could prove United’s best piece of business this summer. ‘Marcus Rashford could end up being the best signing,’ he told Sport Witness. Marcus Rashford has joined pre-season training with Manchester United (Picture: Getty) ‘He learned a lot at Barcelona and played much better, with far more freedom, than he ever did at Manchester United. ‘Was that his fault, or was it down to the environment at the club? It’s very easy to point fingers at the player. But if he performs well elsewhere, it suggests something was wrong in his previous environment. ‘So that could prove to be a fantastic move, for Manchester United if he stays, and performs like he did at Barcelona.’ Rashford’s return to United has also been endorsed by former Red Devils defender Rio Ferdinand, who recently said: ‘Rashford is back at Manchester United at the training ground and guys, he’s like a purring Ferrari man. Michael Carrick has hinted that Rashford is in his plans for the new season (Picture: Getty) ‘He looks fit, he looks ready. And you know what, there’s a smile on his face and there’s a little spring in his step. ‘We don’t know which way this is going to go and how it’s going to pan out by the end of this transfer window. But you know what, I hope he stays and he will be like a new signing at the football club. ‘And could this be the motivated Marcus Rashford to come out and prove all the doubters and all the people wrong? And all the naysayers.I hope it is. Let’s watch this space.’ Speaking after United’s draw with Leeds, Michael Carrick hinted that Rashford was in his plans ahead of the new season. ‘He’s our player, you know, and he’s come back great. He’s just like any other player,’ Carrick told ITV1. ‘I’ve known Marcus a long time and, you know, he gives us something a little bit different. And he’s been in great spirits since he’s been back. ‘He’s been back two or three days training and it’s just pretty normal, to be honest. And we’re looking forward to the start of the season.’ For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Merino (Picture: Getty) Mikel Merino says Arsenal ‘probably’ have the ‘best midfield in football’ after Bruno Guimaraes’ £75m move from Newcastle United. The Premier League champions signed Brazil international Guimaraes on a four-year deal after a protracted saga with Newcastle. Guimaraes bolsters an Arsenal midfield that already includes captain Martin Odegaard, England stars Declan Rice and Eberechi Eze, former Real Madrid target Martin Zubimendi, academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly and World Cup winner Merino. Arsenal will try to retain their Premier League crown this season while mounting another challenge for the Champions League after losing to PSG in the final back in May. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Merino, who has returned to Arsenal after helping Spain win the World Cup, believes the Gunners are in good shape to do just that after the ‘amazing’ signing of Guimaraes. Guimaraes made his first appearance for Arsenal in Wednesday’s pre-season draw with Cesc Fabregas’ Como. ‘Amazing signing,’ Merino said when asked about the Newcastle star swapping St James’ Park for the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta and new Arsenal signing Bruno Guimaraes (Picture: Getty) ‘He has proved throughout these years how good he is at Newcastle. And he showed it today again. A lot of composure, technical ability, a lot of defensive effort as well. ‘So it’s a very good signing. A top player, but we have many of those in this team. So everyone that comes to help the team is welcome.’ Asked about the strength of Arsenal’s midfield following Guimaraes’ arrival, Merino added: ‘Honestly, it’s unreal. Probably the best midfield in football. Arsenal are hoping to retain the Premier League (Picture: Getty) ‘The amount of quality that we have there, with every player that can come on the pitch and make a good shift. It’s great. ‘That’s good for the team. That’s good for the squad. It raises everyone’s level because if you have a bad day, the one that is close to you is going to do a great job. ‘I think we have an amazing squad. The hunger is still there. Not because we won it last season, we’re going to be happy with it. https://www.instagram.com/p/Dbyqbq_COQ2/?hl=en&img_index=1 ‘We want more and more and more and we want every trophy possible. That’s the best quality of this team. Not only the amount of depth that we have, the quality that we have in every position, but that hunger.’ Premier League legend and ex-England striker Alan Shearer also believes Arsenal boast arguably the best midfield on the planet following the deal for Guimaraes. ‘Arsenal are signing a top-quality player in Bruno Guimaraes,’ the Newcastle hero told Betfair. ‘There’s no doubt about that. ‘They’re signing a player who’s so comfortable on the ball under pressure, who can make that killer pass. He’s got a great attitude, too, we’ve seen that at Newcastle. ‘So, there’s no doubt he’ll improve them. I think with the likes of Rice, Odegaard and Bruno, there won’t be many better midfields out there.’ Arsenal begin their Premier League title defence with a home match against newly-promoted Coventry City a week on Friday.

Myles Lewis-Skelly has drawn reported interest from Chelsea and Manchester United, which Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta sees as a positive. The post Arteta sees Lewis-Skelly speculation as ‘a good sign’ for Arsenal appeared first on SoccerNews.
Newcastle players were making the "same mistakes" in their 3-1 loss to Everton in pre-season on Wednesday, says former Magpies defender Steve Howey. The Premier League returns next week and Howey believes Matthias Jaissle's side need the time to work on the same issues from last season. "I was just a little bit disappointed at half-time because it's familiar players - the players that will be making the starting line-up against Liverpool - that are making the same mistakes again," Howey told BBC Radio Newcastle after the match.
Leo Hjelde's exit to Belgian Pro League side KV Mechelen has sparked the conversation at BBC Radio Newcastle around his cult hero status. The Norwegian centre-back featured 19 times for Sunderland in the Championship in 2024-25 on their way up to the Premier League, before going on loan to Sheffield United last season. While the 22-year-old missed out on playing in the top flight, football commentator Nick Barnes believes Sunderland fans can agree that without his contributions towards the end of their promotion campaign, they may never have made it back up in the first place.
Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi (Picture: Getty) Chelsea and Real Madrid have expressed interest in Martin Zubimendi after Arsenal signed Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta bolstered what was already a strong and deep Arsenal midfield with the £75m signing of Guimaraes. The Brazil international emerged as a top target for Arteta earlier in the summer and Arsenal finally made a breakthrough in transfer talks after weeks of negotiations. Guimaraes strengthens a Premier League title-winning midfield which already includes the likes of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Zubimendi. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Zubimendi made a superb start to his Arsenal career following last summer’s £60m move from Real Sociedad but lost his place in the team towards the end of the campaign. Lewis-Skelly started ahead of Zubimendi during the run-in and the Spain international was benched for Arsenal’s Champions League final against PSG. Zubimendi was included in Spain’s triumphant World Cup squad but barely featured for Luis de la Fuente’s side, making just one appearance during the tournament. Zubimendi holding the World Cup trophy (Picture: Getty) The 27-year-old could face an uncertain future at Arsenal given he was already struggling for minutes before Guimaraes’ arrival, with Chelsea and Real Madrid reportedly expressing interest in securing his signature. New Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso worked with Zubimendi at Real Sociedad and tried to sign him last summer during his spell in charge of Real Madrid. Reports in Spain said Madrid were ‘gutted’ to miss out on a deal for Zubimendi and the La Liga giants are said to be interested in reviving their interest if Arsenal indicate he could be sold. Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso (Picture: Getty) But Arsenal have ‘no desire’ to offload Zubimendi this summer, according to the Daily Express, and still view the Spaniard as a key member of Arteta’s squad. It is claimed Arteta also intends to keep hold of Zubimendi despite Guimaraes’ arrival as he plots a Premier League title defence and another Champions League challenge. While Arsenal appear determined not to sell Zubimendi, the report adds that ‘every player has his price’, with the club willing to change their stance should an ‘exorbitant fee’ arrive on the table. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYwnlGpNRnI/?hl=en Last week reports in Spain said Arsenal valued Zubimendi, now a World Cup, Premier League and European Championship winner, at around 90m euros (£77m). Amid speculation they could target Zubimendi, Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign his Arsenal teammate Lewis-Skelly. Chelsea have rejected the opportunity but should press ahead with their pursuit of Zubimendi, according to former Blues defender Glen Johnson. Chelsea were offered Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly (Picture: Getty) ‘I think he would be a brilliant signing for Chelsea,’ Johnson, who won the Premier League at Stamford Bridge, told SeatPin. ‘I’m not sure why Arsenal are even signing players to replace him when he was so influential for them last season. ‘He has worked with Alonso before at Real Sociedad, so Xabi must really like the player to be pushing to re-sign him at Chelsea. ‘He’s now a Premier League winner, so he’s only going to be a better player than what he was when they last worked together. ‘I’d be surprised if Arsenal let him go to Chelsea, but if they do, more fool them. He was brilliant last season and knows what it takes to win in the Premier League, which is exactly what Chelsea need. ‘He could be the backbone of Chelsea’s midfield next season, and if Alonso wants him as badly as being reported, then the club should do everything they can to sign him.’ Arsenal begin their Premier League title defence against newly-promoted Coventry City a week on Friday.

The former England full-back is back in the Championship after 12 years away, hoping to lead Wolves out of itWhen the question inevitably comes, Kieran Trippier is happy to set the record straight. Fresh from training, head to toe in Wolves kit – vest, shorts and club-branded sliders – he walks into a suite at their Compton Park base, conversation soon shifting to an episode that rocked supporters and stopped outsiders in their tracks: three days after signing, the manager Trippier cited as a significant driver behind his decision to drop into the second tier, Rob Edwards, was sacked. All the while, a deal for his replacement, César Peixoto, was being accelerated.“I’m not going to sit here and lie, I wasn’t expecting it,” Trippier says. “But it’s the club’s decision. I had good chats with Rob, of course, but I’m here to play for Wolves. There are many surprises in football and that certainly was a surprise, I’m not going to deny that. But I just cracked on, I was with my kids on holiday, training in Mallorca and just looking forward to day one in pre-season.” Continue reading...
