Manchester United stay in the mix as a top-four chase boils on; longtime club from Old Trafford, big-name history, ongoing managerial turnover.
Liverpool overturned a first-leg deficit with goals from Szoboszlai, Ekitike, Gravenberch, and Salah, setting up a quarter-final against PSG. The match featured key injuries, missed chances, and Salah's 50th Champions League goal. Liverpool's win signals a resurgence ahead of their next challenge.
England's coach Thomas Tuchel has announced a 35-man squad for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan, including returning players Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo, as part of preparations for the 2026 World Cup. Notably, Trent Alexander-Arnold is excluded.
Manchester United has extended Kobbie Mainoo’s contract amid renewed faith in the 21-year-old midfielder after a breakthrough season, including a key FA Cup final goal and England representation in Euro 2024. The club also signals confidence in his development under interim manager Michael Carrick and a shift in long-term plans as Casemiro departs.
Manchester United has reinforced its push for Champions League football, with Casemiro scoring and Bruno Fernandes assisting in a 2-0 win over Brentford. The result consolidates United’s position as their bid for a top-four finish continues, while Casemiro is closing in on a club record for headed goals.
Liverpool's Mo Salah has been ruled out of the final weeks of the club season due to a hamstring tear, with officials confirming he will be fit for Egypt's World Cup group stage. Jurgen Klopp’s side are pushing for a Champions League place as they navigate his absence.
Mohamed Salah has been sidelined by a minor hamstring issue since a win over Crystal Palace, but Liverpool says he is expected to be available again before the season concludes as he prepares for his Anfield farewell this summer.
