      by

      THE ULTIMATE Premier League table of the last 25 years has been revealed, laying bare Sir Alex Ferguson’s incredible impact on Manchester United.The incredible list shows that the Red Devils have been the most dominant force in English football since the start of the 1999/2000 season.Man Utd have been the dominant force in the Premier League over the last 25 yearsCredit: GettyIt shows the impact Sir Alex Ferguson had, with United’s form nosediving since his 2013 exitCredit: The TimesFergie had already United to five Premier League titles by that point — as well as their famous Treble.But he still had plenty left to give the Old Trafford faithful.Fergie went on to win eight more titles before quitting in 2013.And despite United’s dismal form since his exit, they are still top of the pile when it comes to the most games won, the least games lost and their average points-per-game ratio.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLSince the turn of the century, which also ushered in a new millennium, United have won 59.9 per cent of their Premier League games.Stats from OLBG show they have draw 20.6 per cent of those, which means United have only lost 19.5 per cent too.That gives them an impressive points-per-game ratio of 2, putting them ahead of second-place Arsenal.The Gunners have collected 1.95 points in the same period, with a similar loss percentage of 20 but a smaller win rate at 57.4.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSComing in third are Chelsea with 1.94 points per game.The Blues have better loss stats than Arsenal at 19.9 but fall short with a win rate of 56.8.Which football clubs could Marcus Rashford join?Completing the top four are Liverpool, who are on 1.91 points per game.Man City, Tottenham and Everton take the next three spaces, which in the modern era completes the list of teams qualifying for Europe.Newcastle, Leeds and Aston Villa make up the rest of the top 10.They are followed by Leicester, Brentford, Blackburn and West Ham.Ipswich, Charlton and Brighton also beat the drop.While the bottom three features Bolton, Stoke and Southampton — who are coincidentally bottom of this season’s Premier League too.

      Tyson Fury lined up for new role just hours after Gypsy King announced retirement from boxing

      by

      TYSON FURY could continue to work in boxing as a promoter.The Gypsy King announced his retirement from the sport yesterday.Tyson Fury announced his retirement yesterdayCredit: INSTAGRAMThe Gypsy King could join Matchroom chief Frank WarrenCredit: PAIn a short video posted to social media Fury, 36, revealed that he’s hanging up his gloves, before cryptically saying: “Dick Turpin wore a mask.”Fury’s retirement announcement has been met by scepticism in some quarters, given that he has hung up his gloves before only to later return.Should his announcement be for real, promoter Frank Warren hopes to keep his star man onboard in a different capacity.The Matchroom chief, 72, told Sky Sports: “I’d have no problem with him getting involved with us. We’d have a good run together!READ MORE IN BOXING”He’s got a great brain and he’s very astute.”I hope it’s not [goodbye] because he’s got a lot to give boxing outside the ring.”Giving his immediate reaction to SunSport, Warren revealed that he had not been expecting the announcement.He said: “This is the first I’ve heard of it. I haven’t spoken to him today but God bless him.Most read in BoxingJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS”He’s earned more money than he could spend if he lived to be 1,000 years old.”He’s won every belt he ever wanted to win and he couldn’t have done any more for the sport, for himself or for British boxing.We wish him the absolute best.SunSport’s Wally Downes Jr reacts to Tyson Fury’s shock retirement aged 36 “When I did speak to him I told him to take your time, relax, recover, don’t rush into any decisions and if this is the one he’s made he has our support and gratitude.”Fury had been tipped for a huge Battle of Britain bout with Anthony Joshua.And AJ’s promoter Eddie Hearn still believes that the fight could happen.He told iFL TV: “I saw that coming. I think, if you ever want to come back and get the max you’ve gotta retire first, ain’t you?”Someone’s gotta bring you out of retirement. So listen, if that’s the last we see of Tyson Fury, good luck to him.”I doubt it, personally, but whatever he chooses to do much respect to him.”View of The Sun’s boxing expert: ‘I think it’s a ploy’By Wally Downes JrCALL ME a miserable fat little boxing cynic, but Tyson Fury’s latest retirement just doesn’t wash with me.It wasn’t too long ago we were hearing he had a ten-fight deal with Saudi Arabia, that he was gonna fight Anthony Joshua twice, then he was going to face Joseph Parker twice.He was planning on doing every fight in the world – there was even talk he’d rematch Francis Ngannou and do a better job.IF he has retired, then he goes out with an incredible career having made over £300million in boxing events alone, let alone all the extra stuff.He does so having sacrificed bundles of his own life for such success.We know his wife Paris suffered a miscarriage going into the first Olesandr Usyk fight.We know for Deontay Wilder III, his little girl was put in intensive care, he barely even trained for that fight, he was sleeping on the hospital floor.IF he has retired, IF it is genuine, then it’s been an incredible career.And for the big showman, it’s probably a nice little short sharp way to go out by just posting a video while sat inside his car.But I can’t help but think that it’s a bit of a ploy to drive AJ a little bit crazy.AJ was at the Ring Awards the other day and put out a social media post saying “Fury, where are you? I’m looking for you.”It’s the only fight that AJ wants, and Fury being wise and looking at the Floyd Mayweather playbook, knows that once you retire, you have to be coaxed out of retirement.And how do you coax someone out of retirement? Loads more readies.The fact of the matter is, Fury has always told us: I’m a prize fighter, I do it for money, I’m gonna do it for as long as I can and make as much money as I can.So the idea that he suddenly ducks out now doesn’t seem to ring quite true.As Fury made the announcement, I was with Frank Warren and he said hadn’t spoken to Tyson about it today, but that he hopes that it’s true, that Fury’s done enough and made enough money.IF it’s true, then what an incredible career.Fury and AJ have put British boxing on the map where it’s not been for decades, not since Lennox Lewis 25 years ago.So thank you, but rather than being at his leaving party, which I’m sure The Sun would be invited to, I suspect we’ll see him boxing AJ in Riyadh in a few months.  More

      From scratching head in anguish to snapping at fans, the signs of Pep Guardiola’s secret ‘marriage breakdown’

      by

      THE worst spell of Pep Guardiola’s managerial career has played out in front of the world.But in private, the Manchester City manager has also been suffering the heartbreak of the breakdown of his 30-year relationship with wife Cristina Serra.Pep Guardiola is experiencing his worst-ever season as a managerCredit: GETTYThe Spaniard worryingly revealed he wanted to harm himself and had self-induced scratches all over his head after City’s Champions League collapse to FeyenoordGuardiola had to be held back after confronting a fanChampions Manchester City are a whopping 12 points behind league leaders LiverpoolCredit: GETTYGuardiola has also been dealing with the breakdown of his marriage to Cristina SerraCredit: REXGuardiola was filmed snapping at autograph huntersPep and his wife are said to have gone their separate ways after nearly 30 years togetherCredit: PAGuardiola’s behaviour during City’s wretched run has been put down to him struggling to cope with the unfamiliar feeling of losing.He has snapped at autograph hunters and fans. He has bared his soul in interviews, branding himself “not good enough”.And while watching his team let a 3-0 lead slip against Feyenoord, the City boss became so agitated that he left scratch marks on his face.Now it appears there was a lot more going on beneath the surface – and the signs were there all along.READ MORE ON PEP GUARDIOLAReports from Spain that Guardiola and Cristina finally split last month are a reminder that one of the most relentlessly successful coaches of all time is also a human being with the same problems as anyone else.Guardiola’s on-field issues have arrived in the ninth season of his reign at City, the longest he has spent in charge of one club.But he and Cristina have been an item for more than three decades, after meeting as teenagers in 1994 and marrying in 2014.And the sacrifices as Guardiola tried to find that work/life balance will have been difficult, even at the best of times.Most read in FootballGuardiola and Cristina have been living apart since 2019 when she returned to Barcelona with daughter Valentina, the youngest of the couple’s three children.The explanation given at the time was that Cristina was taking a leading role in her family’s fashion business, Serra Claret, which is based in the Catalan city.Pep Guardiola says ‘I’m the manager and I’m not good enough’ as Man City lose again Although Guardiola made trips back to Barcelona, when the hectic fixture schedule allowed, the pair inevitably ended up leading separate lives.Rumours of a split emerged in the spring. Yet soon afterwards Cristina was in Manchester to celebrate City’s unprecedented fourth title in a row and there were other public displays of togetherness, too, such as a day out at Wimbledon last July.Photos also emerged of the whole family – including eldest child Maria and son Marius – enjoying a summer holiday in Egypt.But it seems as though Guardiola went into the new season with doubts not only about his football future.His City contract was due to expire in June and speculation grew when the club confirmed in October that director of football Txiki Begiristain, Guardiola’s old Barcelona pal and close ally, would be leaving at the end of the campaign.The City boss signed a two-year extension in November as results started to slide.The following month he and Cristina are said to have agreed to end their marriage.And it seems significant that the biggest crisis of Guardiola’s reign at City has coincided with personal difficulties.His recent confrontation with autograph hunters outside his home in Manchester is just the latest example of him losing his cool.After City lost the FA Cup final to rivals United in May, Guardiola reacted angrily to goading from a supporter.Reports in Spain say Pep Guardiola and Cristina Serra went their separate ways last monthCredit: GETTYPep Guardiola has kept a lid on his separation from the mother of his three childrenCredit: GETTYBut the Spaniard has had several out-of-character outbursts this seasonCredit: GETTYAnd as the club slumped from the top of the Premier League to miles off leaders Liverpool, he showed signs of stress and vulnerability that no-one had seen before.After Guardiola scratched himself during the collapse against Feyenoord in late November, he said: “I cut myself with my fingernail.“I want to harm myself.”It was an off-hand comment, a half-joke to explain why what was unfolding on the pitch was reflected in his appearance.But in these sensitive times, Guardiola had to issue a statement soon afterwards, saying: “My answer was in no way intended to make light of the very serious issue of self harm.”Of course it wasn’t. Yet this was just another example of the intense scrutiny and pressure that Guardiola has to live with constantly.And he freely admits he has been feeling it.When asked if he was in any way enjoying the biggest challenge of his managerial career at all, Guardiola said: “I don’t enjoy it all. I don’t like it.“I don’t sleep as good as when I won every game. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have to do it.“This shall pass, I don’t know when, but nothing is eternal, not even our lives. “Maybe it’s more unusual to win four Premier League in a row, right?“So in that moment I was stable enough, I was happy because I eat better and sleep better.”But I was not thinking differently to who I am.”I’m the same person as four Premier Leagues in a row and in that situation, I have the same doubts.”Pep Guardiola and Cristina Serra became an item back in 1994Credit: GETTYGuardiola was adamant that his passion to make City succeed was undimmed and that was why he had signed the new deal.Yet he also left open the possibility that he would not be able to turn things around.Guardiola said: “If I extend, it is because I feel it. I’m not sitting here just for what I’ve done, or because still I’m happy.“Still I want to try. But I don’t want to stay in the place like I feel I’m a problem.“I don’t want to [just] because the contract is there. My chairman knows it.READ MORE SUN STORIES“And I said to him, give me the chance to try to come back. And after if we are not able to do it, we have to change.”But it seems Guardiola and his childhood sweetheart have decided they were unable to carry on and had to make a change. More

      Sir Alex Ferguson would’ve booted him out the door by now, says Man Utd legend about club outcast

      by

      MARCUS RASHFORD would have been given the boot by now if Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge, claims former star Teddy Sheringham.The Manchester United forward has been tipped to leave Old Trafford this month after revealing he “wants a new challenge”.Marcus Rashford is available for transfer this monthCredit: ReutersAlex Ferguson would have got rid of Rashford by now, says Teddy SheringhamCredit: GettyRashford, 27, was subsequently dropped from the first-team squad by Ruben Amorim and is expected to leave on loan this month.Arsenal, AC Milan and Juventus are amongst the clubs linked, with United understood to be open to a permanent sale if their £40million valuation is met.He has made just four appearances since Amorim took charge in November, but former United striker Sheringham does not understand why he has not already moved on.Speaking to OLBG, Sheringham said: “I think the way he’s come out and said that ‘he’s ready for a new challenge’ is beyond me.READ MORE ON MAN UTD“When it’s one of your own from Manchester, a Manchester boy that should understand the privilege it is to play for United and where you’re at when you’re playing for United.“Every player in the world growing up still wants to play for United and he’s saying now that he wants a new challenge somewhere.“I don’t understand it! Fergie would’ve booted him out the door by now if he’d have said that while he was in his tenure. “He’s obviously going to go somewhere, but I think his days are numbered at United.”Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSWhy Rashford joining Arsenal is perfect fitBy Martin LiptonMARCUS RASHFORD is at a crossroads.But now the England star has to make the biggest choice he has ever faced – does he care about cash, or about his career?Rashford’s shock admission that he is “ready for a new challenge” after some two decades under the Manchester United umbrella has altered the dynamic around his future.That Rashford might not fit the blueprint of Ruben Amorim – who has now responded to Rashford’s comments – was not exactly a surprise.The Portuguese coach prefers a 3-4-3 formation but appears to have settled on Rasmus Hojlund as his starting central striker and wants two “narrow” inside forwards, with the width coming from the wing-backs.Rashford has always wanted to play through the middle but is often at his best exploiting spaces out wide – and that skillset does not necessarily suit the way Amorim wants to play.Even so, going public with his evident dissatisfaction at being bombed entirely from the squad for the Manchester derby was a major move, even if he vowed there would be “no hard feelings” if he does leave his boyhood club.In truth, Rashford has been leaving United almost from the moment he signed that new £325,000 per week contract in 2023.Something was broken in his connection to the club. His form dropped, his threat dissipated, his issues with the hierarchy deepened.When Erik ten Hag dropped him for hosting a birthday party after a derby defeat, and he later pulled a sickie to miss the FA Cup game with Newport, it felt even then that the writing was on the wall.The facts suggest the love affair has ended. After scoring 30 in all competitions to earn that new deal, he has scored just 15 in the 18 months since it was signed.Amorim’s arrival seems merely to have accelerated what was increasingly inevitable.Now, though, it is up to Rashford to determine what his future will bring.If it is only about the money, then his options might be somewhat limited.It is hard to see a Prem rival coughing up the same £16.9m annual salary – although Rashford’s comments have probably knocked £20m-plus off any transfer fee.But Real Madrid have their fill of big-money strikers and Barcelona’s budget remains restricted by LaLiga financial controls.In Europe, then, that probably leaves PSG – but a move to a one-club league.Or, in the wider world, he could follow the likes of Ivan Toney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Firmino and Co and head to the Saudi desert. Lucrative, yep. Certainly a different environment – and that may be exactly what Rashford both wants and needs. But the football? Not in a million years.What Rashford needs, above all, is to be able to play for trophies and showcase his talents.There is no better stage than the Premier League – which has far more global eyeballs on it than any other domestic competition.And in that Premier League there is one club crying out for a goalscoring No 9, especially if he can also play down the left channel to balance out the side and widen its threat.Rashford has always been more Longsight than London.Yet Arsenal, and Mikel Arteta, might be the perfect fit.The Gunners’ lack of a proper scorer is one of the major factors many fans feel has hurt their title challenge this year.Gabriel Jesus has never been a natural finisher, while Kai Havertz is still a converted midfielder.And while the link-up between Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka makes their right flank deadly, faith in Gabriel Martinelli on the left is waning.There have not been too many who succeeded at Arsenal after leaving United – although Danny Welbeck was not a flop.Rashford has all the attributes to change that history, if he can reproduce what everybody knows is inside him.And by breaking free, giving himself the chance to start all over, Rashford can make a point to Amorim that will resonate for a very long time.Rashford has reportedly made his team-mates furious with his revelation that he wants to leave.Borussia Dortmund could take him off United’s hands following reports they have held talks with his agent.BBC look back on Sir Alex Ferguson’s career in two part documentary More
