      by

      Micah Richards wore a daring yellow suit on live TV

      Former Manchester City star Richards has established himself as one of the most popular ex-pros on TV.
      His easy-going demeanour and infectious laugh has seen Richards become a staple on several shows.
      But he brought even more tears to eyes by wearing a bold yellow suit on Sky Sports.
      The ex-England star was joined by Jamie Redknapp as he gave his thoughts on Man City’s win over Leeds, and later Liverpool’s triumph against Brentford.

      Yet it was his garish outfit that drew the most attention.
      Richards did explain there was a reason behind the garb though — namely that he had WON a bet while filming for TV show A League Of Their Own.
      Richards said: “So basically I won the bet on A League Of Their Own. We went to south east Asia.
      “And whoever won had to wear this ridiculous that Jamie has designed. How am I looking?”

      Pal Redknapp answered: “I’m very proud, I love the brown trousers, I like the mushrooms on the waistcoat.
      “It’s beautifully made, Georgio Redknappio. I think you look… honestly, I’m very proud of my work.”
      Host Kelly Cates added: “I do like that when you’re designing a bad taste outfit, all the colours tone in.”
      Richards then asked: “Am I pulling it off then?”
      Cates hilariously answered: “I wouldn’t say that.”
      Fans were certainly tickled by Richards’ outfit, with one saying: “Fair play, came through on his bet.”
      Another laughed: “Not bad at all.”
      One added: “This would look good on my chefs for my restaurant.” More

      Dean Smith is trying to keep Leicester in the top flight in a nail-biting relegation scrap.
      But his long-term future at the King Power is uncertain.
      And if Leicester have to start again, they have their eyes on the Swansea boss.
      Martin, 37, is seen as a “new Brendan Rodgers”, who was sacked last month.

      That is what the Foxes are looking for if they are in for a reset eight years after winning the title.
      Swansea will want compensation for their highly-rated manager.
      But Martin only has one year left on his deal, leaving the Welsh side with little room to manoeuvre.
      In the meantime, Smith will make his own case for the hot seat by attempting to keep Leicester in the Premier League.

      He cannot sign both on loan in the top flight.
      And if City want to sell Doyle, United might struggle to beat fellow suitors to his signature.
      If Doyle goes elsewhere, McAtee, 20, may go back to the Blades on loan.
      However, City are unlikely to entertain permanent bids as they’re pleased with his progress.

      McAtee has appeared 36 times in the Championship for United this season, scoring eight goals and adding three assists.
      In the case of Doyle, who plays deeper than his fellow loanee, he has made 32 appearances while scoring three goals and adding four assists.
      Both have also enjoyed a smattering of appearances in the Man City first team.
      However, both are yet to grab a goal or assist in these outings.

      Ben Chilwell’s injury prompted the introduction of Cesar Azpilicueta alongside Hakim Ziyech, before Joao Felix was brought on with six minutes of regular time to go.
      Chelsea fans were not happy with the changes, and could be heard booing them and chanting against owner Todd Boehly.
      Other fans took to Twitter to vent their frustration, with one fan tweeting: “Lampard has thrown the game with these subs. Again. Sick of him.”
      A second typed: “Frank has no idea what he’s doing.”

      While a third added: “Lampard is a social experiment.”
      But together these subs helped turn a 1-1 draw into a 3-1 victory, with Ziyech setting up Benoit Badiashile’s effort before Sterling and Felix combined to kill the game off in the 86th minute.
      Reacting to the chanting, Lampard admitted Chelsea fans were in unprecedented territory, but ultimately backed the fans to stick by the club.
      He said: “The fans have had a lot of success, it’s what they’re used to.

      Man Utd Champions League winner names three strikers Ten Hag should sign if he misses out on Harry Kane transfer

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED should try and sign Victor Osimhen if they miss out on Harry Kane, according to former striker Louis Saha.Erik ten Hag wants to sign a striker this summer and Tottenham star Kane is said to be his number one target.

      But there is fear Daniel Levy could prove a tough negotiator and try to hang on to the England star, despite his contract expiring in 2024.
      If that happens United could switch attention to a different target, and Saha believes Osimhen should be top of the wishlist after firing Napoli to the Serie A title with 22 goals in 27 games.
      Saha told Daznbet: “There are not many alternatives to Kane for Man Utd. Victor Osimhen is an obvious one at the moment, though, he’s scoring a lot of goals for Napoli.
      “Very fit, very strong and agile. But it may take him more time to adapt.”
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      United have been linked to Osimhen but getting a deal oer the line could prove difficult with Napoli said to be demanding £133m.
      The Red Devils are also said to be interested in Eintracht Frankfurt forward Randal Kolo Muani, who could also command a significant fee, as well as Atalanta hitman Rasmus Hojlund.
      Saha belives both should be on United’s shortlist, adding: “I think Randal Muani would be a very good signing for Man Utd.
      “Not only as a number 9, he can play either side of a three. He’s a very clever player, very quick, sharp with his feet and very intelligent.

      “He’s already established a good link with Kylian Mbappe for France.
      “He’s aware of everything, he has the talent to go short or long, he’s very clever and he will be a real danger in the Premier League if he comes, especially with Rashford and Sancho.
      “That will be really hard for defences. It could be a very clever move, there is room for improvement. There are lots of names like that who can contribute.
      “But Muani is a very intelligent player, he has lots of stamina, he can run all day and will fit into the game plan that Ten Hag loves. He’s one for the future.
      “There is a young boy, Hojlund at Atalanta. But no one offers the guarantees like Kane does.” More

      Willian, 34, is setting the Premier League alight with a third team after joining Fulham last summer.
      His first spell in England came at Chelsea, where he won two titles in seven years.
      Willian then spent one season at Arsenal but failed to settle, leading to a swift exit in 2021.
      The 70-times Brazil international then rejoined boyhood club Corinthians, hoping to make a big impact on familiar ground.

      But Willian struggled to succeed in his homeland, scoring just once in 45 outings.
      The winger found himself targeted by angry fans as a result.
      And it prompted him to eventually rip up his contract before returning to London with the Cottagers.
      Willian now claims a pocket of Corinthians fans left him and his family feeling unsafe.

      As a result, he has no intention of experiencing a third spell there.
      Indeed, Willian hopes to keep playing football for another five years.
      But he never wants to play in Brazil again due to the general toxic views of some supporters.
      Willian told Mundo Deportivo: “Every time Corinthians lost and I hadn’t had a good performance, my family received threats on social networks.
      “First my wife and my daughters, later my father, my sister…
      “I don’t want to go back to Brazil, ever. I ended up going back to the club where I started because I wanted to and so did Corinthians.
      “But I already had the thought of staying in Europe until the end of my career.
      “Now my intention is to finish it here, whether in Europe, the United States or anywhere else. If it can be in England it would be perfect.

      “A football is not a machine, he has his good and bad days. What happens is that sometimes the fans don’t accept the bad guys.
      “What I see in Brazil is sometimes inhuman pressure, which leads to violence, threatening the family, the children…” More
