Head carer left Tour de France after ITA approach
The Ineos Grenadiers head carer who left the Tour de France earlier this month after it was revealed he had been called to interview by the International Testing Agency (ITA) over alleged links to convicted German doping doctor, Mark Schmidt, worked for Manchester United in 2024.
Sources at Manchester United have confirmed to the Guardian that David Rozman spent one month working at Old Trafford last year as part of what is called a “knowledge exchange” within Ineos Sport. Rozman is described on the Ineos Grenadiers website as “one of the longest-serving members of our staff” who “takes on the important role of head carer”.
Everton’s £27m bid for Tyler Dibling turned down by Southampton

David Moyes frustrated again in the transfer market

Coach already missed out on Conceição and Bakayoko
Southampton have rejected a £27m bid from Everton for Tyler Dibling, leaving the Merseyside club to consider an improved offer to land the England Under-21 international.
The 19-year-old was one of the few pluses in a troubled season for the relegated club and has attracted interest from Aston Villa, Fulham and West Ham. He has two years remaining on his contract at St Mary’s Stadium and is believed to be open to a move to Merseyside.
Tom Brady’s Birmingham primed to touch down in the Championship
Driven by the ambitious ownership of Tom Wagner and an NFL icon, the Blues intend to take the second tier by storm
Unsurprisingly, Tom Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion and global sporting icon, is braced for the challenges that await Birmingham City, where he is a minority owner. “Just because you were successful last year doesn’t mean you’re going to be successful this year,” he says, alluding to a season that culminated in promotion and a record-breaking tally of 111 points. “You have to put the same amount of work, commitment and discipline in – sometimes more – because the stakes only get higher. When the competition gets tougher, the margin of error gets smaller.”
It is his final answer in an interview that takes in everything from the “blue-collar nature of Birmingham”, which he compares with Cleveland and Cincinnati, to the Championship landscape and the bubbling rivalry with Aston Villa, which he was educated on during his first visit to England’s second-biggest city after acquiring his 3.3% stake.

Ella Toone reveals grandmother died on day of Euros final
Manchester United have completed their first signing of this summer’s Women’s Super League transfer window, bolstering their midfield with the addition of the Sweden international Julia Zigiotti Olme from the German champions Bayern Munich.
The defensive midfielder was one of Sweden’s top performers at Euro 2025, starting three of four matches, including their quarter-final against England, where she was one of only two of Sweden’s seven takers to successfully convert her penalty in the dramatic shootout.
Macclesfield’s John Rooney: ‘I’d be stupid to act like Robbie Savage, I’d be being false’
Younger brother of Wayne hopes he will not be needed on the pitch as he embarks on first managerial job
Macclesfield FC have grown accustomed to being the most famous team with the most famous names in their league. In a previous life, the club listed Sammy McIlroy, Paul Ince and Sol Campbell as former managers. Since their rebirth in 2020, the former Premier League players Neil Danns, Alex Bruce and, most notably, Robbie Savage, have enjoyed spells in the hot seat.
John Rooney’s surname is unlikely to go unnoticed. Yet the younger brother of the England and Manchester United legend Wayne is, by his own admission, a far less glitzy appointment than his predecessor Savage, whose effervescent character came to define Macclesfield in recent years. A self-styled Marmite man, Savage enjoyed unparalleled success in his season-long stint at Macclesfield, winning the Northern Premier League with a mammoth 109 points. His departure to Forest Green this summer left a void, with key players such as Laurent Mendy, Tre Pemberton and Neil Kengni following him to Gloucestershire.

Players can still live the dream in League Two. It’s a strange one, but a dream all the same
I am staring at a video posted on X by my beloved Cambridge United. Their stuff is pretty good. It’s four days until our League Two campaign begins at home to Cheltenham. “Striker, Acquired” it reads, the video showing a man with a neat beard in baggy jeans wearing the new home shirt. The music is the kind that if it was played too loudly in a confined space, I would instantly get a migraine. OK, these things aren’t aimed at me.
The man does some keepie-uppies in bright white trainers. He has an endearing smile. He side-foots a few, points at the camera, leans against a post, rests a ball against his right hip and then smashes a penalty into the roof of the net. Our new saviour is here. The man to score the goals to get us back into League One at the first attempt.
