    Ajax are keen to reappoint Erik ten Hag as manager if he is sacked by Manchester United this summer, report the Mail.

    However ten Hag's position is under constant question and he is expected to depart United in the summer.

    Man Utd players: keep or sell? It's a very short list to keep - Højlund, Mainoo, Amado, Shaw and Evans. Sell - anyone else from the senior team including Garnacho and even Bruno. Major rebuild with emphasis on team mentality and work ethics. Have to be willing to play for the team and not their own reputation.

    As a Liverpool fan I would love to see us replace Salah, who appears to be leaving at the end of the season, with Marcus Rashford. I think he would suit our style of play down to the ground. I would go all guns blazing for him this summer, might ease the pain of Klopp leaving!

    There has been a lot of discussion around Chelsea manager Emma Hayes' legacy as she steps down from her role at the end of the season to become USWNT head coach.

    Hayes has been the Blues' manager since 2012 and has won six WSL titles, five FA Cups and two League Cups. She has also built a formidable squad consisting of world class players.

    Many have said no silverware this season could impact her legacy. Do you think it will? Let us know with the thumb votes below.

    Liverpool have been in the top four this season but have been battling for the fourth-place spot with Manchester United. The Red Devils are currently three points ahead of Liverpool and a win tonight would bring it down to goal difference.

    They face a tough opposition in Chelsea, though. In the reverse fixture back in November Chelsea won 5-1 and they will be looking for a high-scoring game again with the WSL title potentially being decided on goal difference.

    Liverpool have upsets in their pocket though, including a win over Untied earlier this season, so they are not ones to be under-estimated.

    Manchester City are currently six points clear in the Women's Super League but defending champions Chelsea have two games in hand after their two-leg Women's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona.

    The Blues were knocked out by Barca and it was their third loss in a cup competition in recent weeks. They lost the Conti Cup final to Arsenal and were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United.

    The WSL is now the only silverware Chelsea can win and, with manager Emma Hayes in her last season, they will be keen to retain the title.

    Chelsea manager Emma Hayes on tomorrow's WSL opponents Liverpool: "They are having a brilliant season, vying for top four. Moving to Melwood has helped them as a club. They are physical, make it difficult, and are good in transition.

    "You have to start the game strongly, if we allow a team like that to get on top it can be very difficult. We have to be ruthless in the final third, the team know what they have to do."

  13. 'We have a small chance of winning the league' - Hayespublished at 13:46 30 April

    Chelsea manager Emma Hayes on the mood in the squad following their Champions League semi-final defeat to Barcelona on Saturday: "We have moved on, we had a day off. We have discussed our objectives, and now focus on this game.

    "After any loss the worst thing you can have is a long period of time off. We have a small chance of winning the league, we have to focus on doing that."

    Just a small chance of winning the league? "We are not in the driving seat, we don't have the goal difference, we have to catch up.

    On Manchester City winning twice since Chelsea's last league game to take a six point lead in the WSL: "We always knew we would be playing catch up."

  14. What are the odds?published at 13:40 30 April

    Following Leicester's coronation last night, Huddersfield Town's first home Championship game of the season has been against the eventual champions in the last four campaigns.

    One wonders if Huddersfield's luck will change next season. Barring an unlikely goal difference swing on the final day, the Terriers are facing relegation and playing in League One next term.

  15. 'Would Leicester have wrapped up the title faster if Vardy played more at the start of the season?'published at 13:36 30 April

    Preston 0-3 Leicester City

    Aaron Paul
    BBC Radio 5 Live reporter

    This is the best title race we have witnessed in the Championship in a long, long time. Leicester are just and deserved winners. It is over to Leeds and Ipswich to battle it out for second spot.

    Jamie Vardy has got pace for days. One thing with Vardy which is interesting is that [manager] Enzo Maresca looked to phase him out at the start of the season. Vardy has played 36 games in the Championship, scoring 20 goals. I just wonder if Maresca thinks we could have wrapped this season up a long time ago if Vardy had started the season.

    Leicester were a bit wasteful this season. They create so much but finish so little and yes they will absolutely torture teams when they play this elaborate passing method of football but they don't put teams away.

    Leicester City midfielder Harry Winks says winning the Championship with the Foxes makes this season the best in his career to date.

    Winks, 28, has made 46 appearances for the club since signing from Tottenham Hotspur last summer.

    He started Spurs' 2019 Champions League final and 2021 EFL Cup final defeats, but Leicester's 3-0 win at Preston on Monday night sealed his first trophy.

    "It's something I have always wanted to experience in my career," Winks told BBC Radio Leicester.

    "Personally, it's been my best season. I have loved every minute of it."

    As an Arsenal fan I would love us to sign Marcus Rashford, I think he could be devastating if he got motivated by Mikel Arteta, same as Kai Havertz has this season.

  18. 'Kane can capitalise on Madrid defensive absences'published at 13:20 30 April

    Bayern Munich v Real Madrid (20.00 BST)

    BBC Radio 5 Live

    Spanish football journalist Alvaro Romeo, speaking about Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane ahead of Bayern Munich v Real Madrid on BBC 5 Live Breakfast this morning: "I believe Bayern have a complete performance in them, so Jude Bellingham will have to be at his best to make a difference in this game. But of course he has been phenomenal this season. His ability to appear in the big moments has made him the player Real Madrid resort to when the situation gets difficult.

    "There is clear concensus in Spain that the player everyone has to be aware of is Harry Kane. Real Madrid also have a few absences in defence, maybe Kane can capitalise on that. Antonio Rudiger has been outstanding this season, he will be the one marking Kane."

    Interesting regarding comments that Manchester United will be buying talent as usual. The academy team has just won the Under 18 league and cup, and the other youth teams are also flourishing. Probably the best crop of youngsters since the class of 92. Mainoo, Garnacho, and Kambwala have all gone through. The future looks bright, and Erik Ten Hag comes from a club that prides itself on developing talent. Can’t wait for the clear out of deadwood this summer.
