      “He outlined his reasons to me and whilst I’m personally extremely disappointed, I will continue to give my all every time I wear the shirt.
      “So I wanted to say a massive thank you to the Manchester United fans for all their brilliant support whilst I’ve been wearing the armband.

      “It’s one of the greatest honours in club football.
      “I’ve done everything I possibly could to help United be successful — on and off the field.
      “I will always be grateful to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for first giving me the responsibility and I wish whoever now takes it on every success and they will have my full support.”

      SunSport revealed eight days ago Maguire was set to have the captaincy taken away — with Bruno Fernandes likely to get the role ahead of Casemiro.
      The England defender joined from Leicester in 2019 but lost his place under Ten Hag last term.
      Half of the Premier League clubs tried to sign him on loan in January and, while United have set an ambitious asking price of £50m, it is likely to drop towards £30m.
      As well as Prem interest, Inter Milan and Saudi clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal also need centre-backs.
      Maguire has two years left on his £200,000-a-week United contract. More

      Wayne Rooney puts ex-Man Utd hero on ‘Discovery List’ – which could make DC United money even if he joins rival MLS side

      WAYNE ROONEY has put a former Manchester United hero on DC United’s “Discovery List”.It means that the club could make money even if the player joins a rival MLS side.

      Each club in the league can name up to seven players on their Discovery List.
      The list consists of players a club has scouted who are playing outside the MLS and are exempt from being drafted or assigned.
      If another club signs a player on a rival’s Discovery List, then they must also pay a fee to that team.
      Rooney has revealed that Jesse Lingard is on his DC United Discovery List in case he chooses to move to the USA.
      READ MORE MAN UTD
      The former England striker explained to The Times: “You don’t know about ‘discovery’ players? OK, take Erling Haaland.
      “We could put Haaland on our ‘Discovery List’ and it means that if he ever came to the MLS but let’s say wanted to play for one of the LA teams and not us, the LA team would have to pay Man City – and us. Because we’ve “discovered” him! It’s crazy.

      “But if you’re clever, you can make money. Last year when Jesse Lingard signed for a year with [Nottingham] Forest we put him on our Discovery List because you thought there’s every chance that after a year at Forest he’ll want to come to the US and that would mean we could sign him or get money for him.”
      Lingard is currently a free agent following the expiry of his one-year deal with Nottingham Forest.

      He previously played 46 times with Rooney for United and England before the DC United boss retired.
      Rooney is now into his first full season as an MLS manager, with DC United ninth in the Eastern Conference after 24 matches.

      Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea pocketed millions for releasing World Cup stars – and even Boreham Wood got cash

      by

      MANCHESTER CITY earned more from Fifa than anyone else for releasing their players to star in the World Cup – but even National League Boreham Wood got a share of the cash.Fifa paid out £160million to 440 different clubs around the world for releasing their players for last year’s World Cup in Qatar.
      Clubs received a share of Fifa payouts for their players competing in the World Cup
      English clubs received a total of £29million in compensation, more than any other country, with City top of the table worldwide, earning £3.5million.
      While that payment will hardly be noticed in City’s huge accounts, the payments for clubs further down the pyramid can make a huge difference.
      Especially for the lowest ranked English club receiving cash, Boreham Wood.
      The non-league side didn’t have any current players in Qatar last winter, but Fifa rewards teams who played a role in the development of players during the qualification period for the World Cup.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Boreham Wood sold Wales international Sorba Thomas to Championship side Huddersfield Town in January 2021 and therefore benefited from the Fifa payments, earning £24,000.
      Huddersfield earned £118,000 for Thomas’ role at the World Cup, despite the 24-year-old only featuring late on in Wales’ 1-1 draw against the USA, coming on as an injury time replacement for Fulham winger Harry Wilson.
      The payments are calculated by how long each player spent at the World Cup, with clubs earning just over £9,000 for each day their man was participating in the Middle East.
      Announcing the figures, Fifa president Gianni Infantino has confirmed that the total compensation figure of £160million will almost double to £304million for the 2026 and 2030 editions of the World Cup.
      Most read in Football
      Infantino said: “The Fifa Club Benefits Programme recognises the contribution that clubs make to the success of the Fifa World Cup, and this far reaching initiative ensures that Fifa redistributes a portion of the revenues from the competition to the clubs.”
      After Manchester City, the top English earners were Manchester United, who pocketed £2.5million and Chelsea who earned £2.4m. More
