Man Utd on verge of repeating Rasmus Hojlund transfer mistake

Manchester United are at risk of repeating their Rasmus Hojlund mistake again. Just when it looked like INEOS had turned a corner and were signing players with a proven Premier League pedigree, they are returning to old habits.

United threw away £72million on Hojlund two years ago - a raw talent with potential, yes, but nowhere near ready to lead the line for one of the world's biggest clubs.

Their risk-taking owners are rolling the dice once more by making Benjamin Sesko their top target.

But haven't we seen this movie before? Leipzig striker heads to England for big money, cue underwhelming returns. Timo Werner and Christopher Nkunku ring any bells?

For all United's faults last season, they still carved out chances. It was clinical finishing that let them down.

With players like Ollie Watkins and Alexander Isak around - proven scorers in this league - you have to wonder if Sir Jim Ratcliffe is learning on the job, or just ignoring the homework.

Raducanu clicking into gear

THINGS are starting to click for Emma Raducanu as she quietly climbs the world rankings and is on the verge of being seeded for the US Open.

North American hard courts are her jam, and she's on course to play a fine tune at Flushing Meadows later this month in her bid to avoid being a one-hit wonder.

No damehood for Sarina

SARINA Wiegman should receive an honorary damehood - but only if she wins the World Cup.

Conquering Europe is a magnificent achievement, as is massively driving up female participation in football.

But sporting excellence is conquering the world's best teams. Now she needs to better the USA and Brazil to bring home the biggest trophy.
