Mason Greenwood is planning a move away from Marseille this summer and Manchester United will profit if he does switch clubs

Mason Greenwood would make Manchester United millions if he moves on from Marseille this summer. However, this transfer will not be to north London as Tottenham are not in for the attacker.

Greenwood has scored 48 goals and assisted 17 times from 81 appearances in France, pushing him to the forefront of this summer’s transfer window. There were rumours that Spurs were planning to move for the 24-year-old, offering him a return to the Premier League.

Football London has confirmed that there is no interest in bringing Greenwood to the club, despite his former manager, Roberto De Zerbi, praising him during his time at Marseille. The current Spurs manager claimed that the player – who had attempted rape and assault charges dropped against him in 2023 – was a “good guy” who was handed a “heavy price.”

De Zerbi said at the time: “I don’t want to get involved in anyone’s private life. All I can see is that Mason seems a good lad; he paid in a strong way for what happened. He has probably here found the right environment for him, which gave him affection, and held out its hand to him.

“When I look at him as a person, I feel sad for what happened in his life, without getting into the details. Because the person I know here is very different to the one that has been described, especially in England.”

This response led to fan backlash before De Zerbi joined Spurs, and he apologised for the comments after his deal in north London was confirmed. He said: “I have never wanted to downplay the issue of violence against women or violence against anyone more broadly.

“In my life, I have always stood up for who are more vulnerable, more fragile. I have consistently fought and taken a stand to be on the side of those who are more at risk. Those of you who know me well will know I’m not the type of person who makes compromises to win more games or to win an extra title. I apologise to those who I offended with this subject matter.

“I have a daughter, and I’m very sensitive to these things and always have been. I hope that over time, people will get to know me better and will understand that in that moment, I didn’t mean to take a stance.”

While Spurs are not in the race for Greenwood, Marseille are still keen to let the goalscorer go this summer.

L’Equipe reports that the club will consider all offers and a deal is desired before the end of June. Roma have been credited with an interest, with a fee of around £35million (€40m) proposed by the Italians.

Marseille are expecting at least £47m (€55m) before they let the 24-year-old go, as per Corriere dello Sport. Reports suggest that Roma could make a secondary offer of around £40m (€45m), plus £4.3m (€5m) in add-ons.

This deal could in turn benefit United, despite Greenwood initially departing Old Trafford in 2024. The club holds a 40% sell-on clause, so a deal this summer could significantly boost Michael Carrick’s transfer war chest.

If Roma does move forward with the £43.3m deal in the coming days, United would make around £17m in total. With Ederson on his way to the club this summer and plenty more players linked, Carrick would welcome the incoming cash to bolster his squad for next season.

Tyson Fury has considered Oleksandr Usyk’s justification for distancing himself from a showdown with heavyweight prodigy Moses Itauma.

The Ukrainian comes off an 11th-round stoppage victory over Rico Verhoeven, only he was made to work harder than expected to get the former long-reigning kickboxing champion out of there.

In what was initially thought to be nothing more than a showcase event, Usyk ended up trailing on one judges’ scorecard after 10 completed rounds.

Their contest last month then resulted in controversy when Verhoeven, after being floored by a right uppercut, was waved off by referee Mark Lyson.

The 37-year-old later filed an appeal against the decision, seeing that he was stopped after the bell had sounded, but his efforts were ultimately dismissed.

Usyk, meanwhile, must decide whether to vacate his WBC title – and potentially pursue a rematch with Verhoeven – or face WBC ‘interim’ champion Agit Kabayel.

Either way, the 39-year-old has expressed no interest in fighting Itauma, who comes off an emphatic fifth-round finish over the typically durable Jermaine Franklin, claiming that he didn’t want to ‘break’ him at such a young age.

“No, I’m not going to fight with Itauma because he’s a young guy. I don’t want to break this guy.”

Speaking with IFL TV, former opponent Fury doesn’t believe Usyk’s reasoning for not wanting to face Itauma.

“Bulls**t. Oleksandr is coming up to around 40 years old, he has just been pushed all of the way and probably lost every round against a kickboxer. So, I don’t think that he wants to fight a 21-year-old kid who is mustard, for no gain.

“He is not going to gain big money because Moses doesn’t have that following at the moment or the popularity. He is coming up, he is a rising star but he is not on top at the moment, so he [Usyk] isn’t going to gain anything from it.

“It’s all to lose and nothing to gain. If he beats Moses, he has beat a young kid coming up and if he loses to Moses, he has lost to a 21-year-old, so it doesn’t make much sense [for Usyk to fight him].”

Itauma will face Filip Hrgovic at London’s O2 Arena on August 29, entering his toughest assignment in the professional ranks thus far.

Japan thrashed Tunisia 4-0 to confirm the North Africans’ exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage on Saturday.

Tunisia came into the match after a difficult week that included a heavy 5-1 defeat to Sweden, the dismissal of head coach Sabri Lamouchi and the appointment of Herve Renard as his replacement. However, the change in the dugout failed to produce an immediate response.

Japan took the lead after less than four minutes at Monterrey Stadium in Guadalupe, Mexico. A swift counter-attack caught Tunisia’s defence out of position and Daichi Kamada finished from close range to put the Asian side ahead.

The Japanese doubled their advantage soon afterwards through Ayase Ueda. The striker produced an excellent finish from the edge of the penalty area, sending the ball through a defender’s legs and into the far corner.

Tunisia struggled to create meaningful chances and looked short of ideas throughout the contest. Japan controlled possession comfortably and repeatedly found space to launch dangerous attacks.

Junya Ito made it 3-0 after being played through on goal and calmly beat goalkeeper Aymen Dahmen with a simple finish.

Ueda completed the scoring late in the match when he guided a looping header into the far corner for his second goal of the game.

Japan were far superior from start to finish and never looked troubled by a Tunisia side whose attacks were easily dealt with.

The result leaves Japan on four points and in a strong position to reach the knockout stage. They will aim to secure qualification when they face Sweden in their final group match on Friday.

Tunisia, meanwhile, have been eliminated from the tournament and will play their last group game against group leaders the Netherlands.

Only a few days ago, they were charging at and sledging Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. On Sunday, it all turned into the ultimate show of sportsmanship. Playing in the final of the Tri-Nation Series in Dambulla, Sooryavanshi shrugged off his lean run in the league stage with a breathtaking 29-ball 94, which also included the fastest fifty in List A cricket, to help India A post a mammoth 377/9 against Sri Lanka A in the tri-series final on Sunday.

The last time Sooryavanshi faced Sri Lanka A, it ended in a physical altercation. On Sunday, Sri Lankan players came up and patted him on the back after the fiery knock.

Asked to bat, India A looked set for a score in excess of 400, riding on Sooryavanshi’s extraordinary blitz before Sri Lanka A clawed their way back in the middle overs.

Skipper Tilak Varma steadied the innings with a composed 67 off 90 balls, while Anukul Roy (39 off 15) and Vipraj Nigam (27 off 20) produced a late burst to lift India beyond the 350-run mark.

The day, however, belonged to Sooryavanshi.

The 15-year-old from Samastipur in Bihar needed just 11 deliveries to reach his half-century, eclipsing the 21-year-old record held by Sri Lanka’s Kaushalya Weeraratne, who had taken 12 balls to reach the milestone in 2005.

Having endured a modest run in the series, Sooryavanshi walked out with clear intent and unleashed absolute carnage. His first 11 deliveries yielded 50 runs, reading 4, 4, 4, 6, 6, 0, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6, as he dismantled the Sri Lankan attack from the outset.

He reached the landmark with five sixes and as many boundaries, bringing up the record with successive sixes straight down the ground off pacer Dulaj Samuditha.

The left-hander combined brute force with exceptional timing. He initially targeted the leg side against the seamers before effortlessly opening up the off side once Sri Lanka A stationed an additional fielder on the on side.

His ability to dispatch even good deliveries over the ropes once again stood out.

The highlight of the innings was his lofted shots over extra cover. Three effortless sixes in that region showcased the bat speed, balance and fearlessness that have made him one of India’s most exciting young talents.

Alongside Priyansh Arya (39), Sooryavanshi added 132 runs for the opening wicket and looked well on course to register the fastest century in List A cricket.

However, spinner Sahan Arachchige ended the fireworks by having him caught at mid-off in the ninth over. Arya followed an over later as Sri Lanka A clawed their way back into the contest.

Ruturaj Gaikwad (40) and Tilak then added 63 runs for the third wicket, but the flow of boundaries dried up considerably.

As India attempted to accelerate in the closing stages, wickets fell at regular intervals, but Nigam and Anukul provided the final flourish.

Eloy Room became an overnight World Cup hero after producing a record-equalling goalkeeping display to help Curaçao secure a historic 0-0 draw against Ecuador.

The 37-year-old goalkeeper was in inspired form as he made 15 saves, the joint-highest number recorded by a goalkeeper in a World Cup match since records began in 1966.

Room’s incredible night started just three minutes into the game when Ecuador captain Enner Valencia broke through on goal. With only the goalkeeper to beat, Valencia looked certain to score. However, Room reacted brilliantly, diving low to push the ball around the post and deny Ecuador an early lead.

That save set the tone for the rest of the match.

Time and again, Ecuador attacked, but Room stood firm. By the final whistle, the veteran goalkeeper had frustrated the South Americans with a string of outstanding stops, helping Curaçao claim their first-ever point at a FIFA World Cup.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown was full of praise for the goalkeeper after the match.

“Take a bow, Room. Absolutely magnificent,” Keown said.

“The number of saves, you were almost getting a calculator out at the end of the game to count them up. His reactions were first class.”

Room’s 15 saves matched the World Cup record set by former United States goalkeeper Tim Howard against Belgium in 2014. However, unlike Howard, Room kept a clean sheet as Curaçao held Ecuador scoreless despite facing 27 shots.

The achievement was another special chapter in the career of the Dutch-born goalkeeper.

Born in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, Room represented the Dutch youth teams before switching his international allegiance to Curaçao, the homeland of his father. Former Netherlands striker Patrick Kluivert, who managed Curaçao in 2015, convinced him to join the national team.

Room enjoyed a successful club career in the Netherlands, making more than 200 Eredivisie appearances. During that period, he won the league title with PSV Eindhoven and lifted the Dutch Cup with Vitesse.

He later moved to the United States, where he joined Columbus Crew and helped the club win the MLS Cup in 2020. He also received the league’s Save of the Season award before eventually joining Miami FC.

The experienced goalkeeper has also played a key role in Curaçao’s rise on the international stage. In November, he made a crucial save in a goalless draw against Jamaica, a result that secured the nation’s place at the World Cup.

Away from football, Room enjoys playing padel and believes the fast-growing racket sport helps sharpen his reflexes. Those reflexes were certainly on display against Ecuador as he repeatedly denied the South American side.

Playing in front of 68,598 fans at Kansas City Stadium, Room delivered the performance of his life and etched his name into World Cup history.

“I still have to process it myself,” Room said after the match.

“The first save gave me confidence and we all grew into the game. This was a team effort.

“We kept fighting until the last minute. Earning a point this way for Curaçao is absolutely great.”

Thanks to Room’s heroics, Curaçao celebrated one of the greatest results in their football history, while their goalkeeper earned a place among the legends of the World Cup.

Wyndham Clark is 18 holes away from capturing the second U.S. Open title of his career.

The four-time PGA Tour winner and the rest of the field faced a tougher test Saturday at Shinnecock Hills. Beginning the round with a four-shot lead, Clark grinded out par save after par save, punctuating his day with an eagle at the par-5 16th hole.

By day’s end, he’d shot an even-par 70 to head into Sunday with a six-shot lead at seven under.

But in what is expected to be a fierce final round on Long Island, Clark may spare a worry or two about the man who will share the final pairing with him on Sunday: World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler fired a 69 in Round 3 to move into a four-way tie for second at one under.

Clark and Scheffler will begin their final rounds on Sunday at 2:45 p.m. ET.

Trainer Bjorn Baker has concluded a remarkable week with a significant local victory.

His rapidly improving gelding, Midnight Dynamite, triumphed in Saturday’s Listed Civic Stakes (1400m) at Royal Randwick.

This win follows closely on the heels of Overpass’s gallant third place in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot. Overpass is slated to compete again this week in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes (1200m).

Baker, who was trackside in England for Overpass’s debut, left the horse in the skilled care of his racing manager Luke Hilton. Baker returned to Sydney on Thursday night to oversee his domestic stable.

“It was a great trip, and he ran so well, Overpass,” Baker stated. “We’ve got a pretty special horse here too in Midnight Dynamite. He is putting together a marvellous record for Darby Racing, and he was dominant today.”

Midnight Dynamite is amassing an impressive record, with eight wins from twenty career starts and three victories from his four starts this preparation.

Baker admitted that the horse’s consistent improvement has caught the stable by surprise, and he feels the four-year-old has not yet reached his peak.

“He’s been a horse who has surprised us, just how well he is going, and how he keeps improving,” he said. “When he gets in better grade, if he ever hits a really wet track, he’s going to be very tough to beat.”

The Winter Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill on July 4 is the probable next target for Midnight Dynamite, and jockey Jason Collett shares Baker’s positive assessment of the gelding’s potential for further advancement.

“He is only getting better,” Collett remarked. “This preparation he has gone to another level so that says time is a good thing for him. He ticks a lot of boxes, and he’s going through the handicaps nicely.”

Midnight Dynamite ($2.60 favourite) secured victory by 1-3/4 lengths over Whinchat ($19), who had dictated terms up front and fought on gamely, with Cool Jakey ($5) a further short neck adrift.
