📞 @xavisimons is the ‘wonderkid’ who shone in Barcelona’s academy & joined PSG at 16 before moving to Spurs last year
🌟 But there is so much more to his story
🇪🇸 I met up with Xavi in his hometown Rojales to find out who he really is

Alex Iwobi became the joint-second most capped African player in Premier League history alongside Mohamed Salah (328 appearances) 🥈
Only Kolo Touré has more appearances (353) 🥇🇨🇮

Hard to see how Berrada survives this too. He’s the ceo of an organisation that has got almost every football decision wrong since he’s been in the building. Apparently hired because he had expertise across both commercial and football.

Emotional exit by Michael Carrick as fans sing his name. A farewell?
Supporters turn on players once Carrick down tunnel.
#MUFC
Huge win and a huge week for Spurs. If Monday’s victory calmed the nerves, this truly represents lift off for the season

Alysson starts again for #AVFC. A deft hand at snooker, video games and a consequence of extensive scouting (they travelled for two of his matches last December, Cruzeiro at home and Corinthians away). Emery saw his lukewarm goalscoring record but felt he could improve that immeasurably with how he fits the system.
Alysson’s signing was the start of an emerging trend at Villa - Roberto Olabe has a track record for using overseas scouts, with Villa now in the process of hiring a South American scout. Piece @TheAthleticFC

Michael Carrick goes into Bournemouth game leading #MUFC, with execs understanding a complex job. Nobody is making predictions beyond that.
Eddie Howe has most compelling case for some at club, if change.
Detail on Julian Nagelsmann, Antonio Conte ⬇️

The Knicks' assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources.
Many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all, per team sources.
Those employees got their hopes up in late September, when they were sent a fake championship ring offer as part of a phishing test.

Luca Williams-Barnett is Tottenham’s ‘precious diamond’, but when
will the talented teenager — who naturally looks at England agemates Dowman and Ngumoha as a yardstick — get a chance to shine?

Michael Carrick now in peril but issues at #MUFC run far deeper. Glazers foundation for crumbling skyscraper; Ratcliffe gives unique challenges; Berrada, Wilcox + City links open to scrutiny.
Only run of results since INEOS arrived is interim Carrick ⬇️
