Senne is a potential No.1 for the Red Devils [and] the Belgium national team. He got his chance, he took it, and we're all really proud of him, but we knew it would happen. "I believe he has all the capabilities to become the best in the world, so I wish him all the best. I'm sure he will have a very good career in England, and Manchester United should return to the big club they used to be. He will have a positive impact on that, for sure."

Atlanta dismiss coach Ronny Deila after missing playoffs

Atlanta United fired head coach Ronny Deila after just one season, the team announced on Sunday.

Ultimately, we owe our fans a much better on-field product and it is our unwavering commitment to provide that to this community as soon as possible. We want to thank Ronny for his time and commitment to the organisation and wish him well in his future endeavours."

Chelsea 'considering' prolific BlueCo striker move

According to Fichajes in Spain, Chelsea are 'considering' an approach for Strasbourg frontman Joaquin Panichelli. Were it to happen, the 23-year-old Argentine would become the latest player to move between the clubs, who share a common owner in Todd Boehly's BlueCo.

The youngster then also revealed the story where he received a shocking phone call from his idol last summer. He said: "It's a funny story. I was on a golf course with my mates at the time. I got a text from my agent, who said: 'Xabi Alonso's going to call you soon'. I'd heard about the move but didn't speak about it too much because I'd been told I wasn't leaving Liverpool. I'd just hit a nice drive and was on for my first par of the day. I had to bin it off, but it was definitely worth it! He (Alonso) told me how highly he rates me as a player. They wanted to sign me."
