Marcus Rashford has been given a new squad number with Manchester United, as he looks set to be reintegrated into Michael Carrick’s first-team for the new Premier League season

Manchester United have given Marcus Rashford a new shirt number of 14, as the Wythenshawe-born talent looks increasingly likely to remain at Old Trafford for the coming season. The 28-year-old saw his future with the club cast into speculation under Ruben Amorim’s regime, with the Portuguese tactician falling out with the forward during his stint in Greater Manchester.

As a result, Rashford spent the second-half of 2024/25 on loan with Aston Villa, before joining Barcelona in a season-long deal last term. While the La Liga giants had a £26million option to make Rashford’s spell permanent this summer, the likelihood of the forward returning to the Camp Nou are growing slimmer by the day.

Not only have the club splashed £69m on Newcastle United talent Anthony Gordon, who plays in the same position as Rashford, but they are also now approaching a move for Manchester City midfielder Rodri, which could set them back around £60m if the Sky Blues’ valuation is met.

With limited transfer funds, it means that Rashford is likely to remain with United for the coming season, unless another European powerhouse comes in for his services.

United are not opposed to the idea of retaining the Englishman, and allowing him to revitalise his relationship with the Old Trafford elite under Michael Carrick’s stewardship.

And Fabrizio Romano claims that the club have now handed him a squad number of 14 as a message of their trust. It’s the same number that Rashford was handed by Hansi Flick upon his arrival in Catalunya, which he saw a wealth of success wearing.

In La Liga alone, Rashford managed eight goals and seven assists last season, proving his worth in gold on the left-flank. And Carrick will hope to see more of the same from the talent – who has been a part of Manchester United folklore since 2005 – when the new Premier League season gets underway.

As for the reasoning behind the number change, Rashford has typically wore 10 for United since 2018. However, Mateus Cunha now occupies that prestigious number, having arrived from Wolves last summer.

Thousands of Man United fans upgraded their matchday last season. This is how they did it.

It is understood that Rashford is currently travelling with the first-team as they navigate the rest of their pre-season tour across Europe. The forward could feature in the Reds’ upcoming clash with Leeds United in Ireland come Wednesday, August 12.

However, as a result of only recently returning to training, a more likely full start for Rashford could land against AC Milan on Saturday, August 15.

If that’s the case, there will be an air of tension surrounding the Tarczynski Arena, given Amorim is now in charge of I Rossoneri.

The 41-year-old was sacked by United at the turn of the year, enjoying an extended break from management before being appointed at San Siro midway through June.

Dutch rider Demi Vollering won the Tour de France Femmes on Sunday by winning the hilly final stage to extend her lead on nearest rival Kasia Niewiadoma, who finished second overall.

The 29-year-old Vollering also won the 2023 title and claimed her second one by timing the nine-day slog to perfection in winning the final two stages, which both ended in Nice.

Vollering claimed the overall lead on Saturday, attacking late on a small hill and edging into an eight-second overall lead on Niewiadoma.

A furious Niewiadoma, however, complained she had been blocked by a teammate of Vollering at a crucial moment, but no action was taken.

The tense final stage was contested over four climbs of the Col d’Eze just outside Nice, where Vollering waited until the fourth ascent to pounce.

Attacking near the summit, she took a 20sec lead and thundered down towards Nice never looking back.

Italy’s Elisa Longo Borghini came third overall after Swiss rider Marlen Reusser fell on a descent and lost a two-minute cushion on the podium.

Dutch sprinter Lorena Wiebes won the green sprint points jersey mainly thanks to her victories on the two opening stages.

Also from the Netherlands Puck Pieterse secured the polka dot climb points jersey ahead of the final stage.

(FRANCE 24 with AFP)

A former world champion believes Ryan Garcia will knock out Conor Benn inside six rounds, underlining a glaring difference between them in skill and power.

The 28-year-old is making a first defence of his WBC title on September 12, headlining a Zuffa Boxing and Golden Boy co-promoted show at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.

‘King Ry’ claimed his welterweight strap in February, dethroning Mario Barrios with a unanimous decision after scoring a first-round knockdown.

This followed his points defeat to Rolando Romero in May 2025, back when he returned from a year-long doping suspension after testing positive for banned substance ostarine.

But while it has been far from plain sailing for Garcia, the talented American is nonetheless considered a sizable favourite against mandatory challenger Benn.

Despite being the WBC’s leading contender at 147lbs, ‘The Destroyer’ has not fought at the weight in over four years and, generally speaking, has done very little to justify his world title shot.

Even when considering his most notable victory, a unanimous decision against Chris Eubank Jr in November, it seems Benn is still yet to prove himself at world level.

Speaking with Pro Boxing Fans, Paulie Malignaggi simply echoed the opinion that many have already expressed.

“Ryan knocks him out. The fight doesn’t go six rounds, in my opinion. [There’s a] disparity in skill; disparity in power. I don’t think Conor Benn’s that good.

“[Whereas] Ryan Garcia’s a very good fighter when he’s motivated. This fight is an opportunity for him to make a statement, because he’s fighting a guy who’s got a big name but also a guy who probably doesn’t belong in the ring with him.”

While attempting to make 147lbs, Benn has revealed that his future fights will be at higher weights.

Pirates vs. Mets: New York money line (+131)

“The Mets were blanked on Saturday, but had scored six-plus runs in four straight prior, and overall are hitting well. No so for the Pirates, who are 3-9 in their last 12 and have scored five runs once in the last 11. Jared Jones isn’t going deep into games for Pittsburgh,” SportsLine MLB expert Adam Thompson said. “For the Mets, Sean Manaea has gone six innings in three straight, all quality starts, and the bullpen has a 1.82 ERA the last two weeks. Tasty plus odds on the road side.” Bet on Mets-Pirates at DraftKings here and claim $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager as a new user: 

Marlins vs. Angels: Miami money line (-142)

“Marlins pitcher Ryan Gusto limited the Braves to one run over six innings last time out. No team has hit worse over the last two weeks than the Angels, whose .587 OPS off right-handers in that span also ranks 30th,” Thompson said. “The Marlins’ bats scored seven runs on Saturday, breaking out of a five-game offensive slump. They can keep it going here vs. Grayson Rodriguez, who has a 7.44 ERA on the season, 7.24 in 11 day games.” Bet on Angels-Marlins at DraftKings here and claim $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager as a new user:

Padres vs. Astros: Houston +1.5 (-193)

The Astros have won 13 of their last 17 games to surge to first in the AL West standings, but they’re holding a slim half-game lead over the Rangers entering Sunday. Meanwhile, the Padres are third in the NL West and are a game behind the Diamondbacks and Phillies for the final NL Wild Card spot. Randy Vazquez and Cristian Javier both posted quality starts in their last outings, but generally haven’t gone very deep into games this season. The model predicts that Houston covers on the run line in 70% of simulations. Bet on Astros vs. Padres at DraftKings here and claim $150 in bonus bets after your first $5 wager as a new user:

ScottsMiracle-Gro Field stages the final 2026 Leagues Cup league-phase fixture between Columbus Crew and Pumas UNAM on Tuesday. Both sides face off in Ohio this week with contrasting objectives, as the hosts aim to book a spot in the quarter-finals while the visitors are effectively playing for pride, with their chances of advancing appearing almost non-existent.

Brais Mendez’s superb start to life in the United States continued on Friday as the former Real Sociedad man found the net for Columbus against Pachuca. An acrobatic effort in the 18th minute made it three goals in three games for the Spaniard and gave the Crew an early lead.

Daniel Gazdag’s close-range header just before the interval put Columbus two goals to the good, after which goalkeeper Patrick Schulte made multiple key saves in the second half to seal a 2-1 victory for Laurent Courtois’ men.

With six points from a possible six, Columbus now sit third in the MLS standings and should guarantee a spot in the knockout rounds with a big win here.

For Pumas UNAM, meanwhile, all hope may already be lost heading into the third round of fixtures after two fruitless outings over the past week.

Fresh off a deflating 3-0 defeat to Charlotte FC on the opening day, Pumas traveled to the American Midwest to face FC Cincinnati last time out, turning in yet another positive attacking showing. However, they were guilty of wasteful finishing and once again came away empty-handed after falling 2-0.

The visitors now sit rock-bottom in the Liga MX standings and will need an almost extraordinary series of results elsewhere to stand a chance of qualifying.

Columbus Crew vs Pumas UNAM Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• Tuesday’s game will mark the first-ever meeting between Columbus and Pumas.
• Columbus have never lost a Leagues Cup game to a Mexican side in regulation time.
• Pumas have lost four of their last six Leagues Cup encounters with MLS sides.
• Neither side has kept a clean sheet in their last five competitive outings.

Columbus Crew vs Pumas UNAM Prediction

Columbus’ last eight victories have come at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, suggesting the Crew tend to make the most of their home advantage, and they will aim to continue in the same vein this week.

Pumas have shown in the Leagues Cup so far that they are happy to play on the front foot. However, their defensive frailties could prove costly once again.

Prediction: Columbus Crew 2-1 Pumas UNAM

Columbus Crew vs Pumas UNAM Betting Tips

Tip 1 – Result: Columbus Crew to win
