Will Still, remember him?

Football Focus met the Belgian-born Englishman last season became the youngest head coach or manager in Europe's major leagues when he was appointed manager of French club Reims.

Still's tinkering on computer game Football Manager helped inspire him to get into management for real and his Reims side went on a remarkable run last season before ultimately finishing 11th in Ligue 1.

Borussia Dortmund's victory over PSG last night killed off any chance of a fifth English team in next season's Champions League.

It also means the recipients of the European Performance Spots - Germany and Italy - could get six teams in the expanded 36-team competition as Borussia Dortmund and Italian duo Roma and Atalanta could qualify anyway, by winning the Champions League and Europa League, respectively - with the European Performance Spot an addition on top of that.

For Premier League clubs, the situation is now clear:

• Top four go into the Champions League
• Fifth-placed team goes into the Europa League
• If Manchester United win the FA Cup, they go into the Europa League
• If Manchester City win the FA Cup, the sixth-placed team goes into the Europa League
• The next team that hasn't qualified for Europe (must be sixth or seventh) goes into the Conference League play-offs

The Sun

Bruno Fernandes' quotes on his future were reported in Wednesday's edition of the Sun...which said the Portugal midfielder had "stunned Manchester United by hinting he could quit [the club] this summer".

The future of a number of Manchester United players, Jadon Sancho included, should be a hot topic over the summer during an expected restructure of the squad.

One player that might not have expected to be part of that reshuffle was captain Bruno Fernandes, until quotes surfaced on Wednesday that cast doubt over his plans following the summer's European Championships.

However, it seems Fernandes' words may have been more measured than some reports suggested.

Here is a translation of the interview the midfielder gave with DAZN in his native Portuguese. Asked about his future, he said: "I haven't, in this moment, thought about other things. Obviously this doesn't depend just on me - a player always has to want to be here, but at the same time, they have to want him to stay here and, at the moment, I feel that is the case on both sides.

"I don't think much about the future, because obviously this season was not at the level that I wanted - both on individual and collective levels.

"We can still finish this season by winning the [FA] Cup. Soon after this we have a European Championship [with Portugal] that is really important to us.

"Because of this, if I'm really honest, if something happens that I have to think about not continuing in the Premier League, it will only be after the European Championship, because nothing will take away my focus from this [Premier League] finale and the FA Cup final, and the European Championship, because there is nothing more important than this at this moment."

Manchester United will not be playing in the Champions League next season but they still need to secure a place in the Europa League, which requires a couple of victories from the remaining four games.

As Erik ten Hag has said repeatedly this season, United have been decimated by injuries. However, the club posted pictures of Jonny Evans and Anthony Martial this morning and confirmed they have returned to training.

Evans has recovered from a muscular issue that flared up last month while Martial has been missing since the beginning of December with a groin problem.

Ten Hag is due to speak to the media this lunchtime ahead of Monday's trip to Crystal Palace, so we might find out more then.

But first we have some Women's Super League news as Arsenal have handed a first professional contract to striker Michelle Agyemang.

Agyemang, 18, made her WSL debut in November 2022 and has gone on to make five senior appearance for the Gunners.

She's spent this season on a dual-registration with Championship club Watford, scoring six goals despite Watford finishing bottom.

We have a bit more to come on Manchester United before today's Premier League news conferences begin.

So we'll soon bring you all the latest on Manchester United, Nottingham Forest, Burnley and Luton.

Contract situation: Contracted until 2027

Estimated market value: £34m

Linked with: Newcastle, Bayern Munich, Tottenham

BBC Sport football news reporter Nick Mashiter: Villa have insisted he is not for sale with manager Unai Emery making his stance clear in January.

Yet, even with probable Champions League qualification bringing in extra TV revenue, selling the academy graduate would help the club in their efforts to comply with profit and sustainability after they lost £119.6m for the year ending 31 May, 2023.

Contract situation: Contracted until 2027

Estimated market value: £35m

Linked with: Brentford, Brighton, Fulham

BBC Sport football news reporter Nick Mashiter: Alex Scott’s £25m move to Bournemouth from Bristol City in 2023 and Adam Wharton’s £22m transfer from Blackburn to Crystal Palace in January are likely to be the minimum benchmarks – but with Dewsbury-Hall having Premier League experience, Leicester are likely to demand more.

Contract situation: Signed a new deal in October until 2027

Estimated market value: £43m

Linked with: Manchester United

BBC Sport football news reporter Shamoon Hafez: He has been the shining light in another tumultuous season for Everton with his calm displays at the back which has led to a first England call-up.

Contract situation: Signed new deal last year that runs to 2029

Estimated market value: £68m

Linked with: Arsenal, Chelsea

BBC Sport chief football news reporter Simon Stone: In an era when strikers are hard to find, Evan Ferguson caught the attention of many leading clubs last term, when he was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year prize. The big question is, would Brighton listen if the price was right?

Contract situation: One year left at the end of the season

Estimated market value: £68m

Linked with: Tottenham

BBC Sport football news reporter Alex Howell: Conversations between the club and Gallagher's agent have been ongoing and Gallagher is happy at the club, but it is understood that if a bid at the right price was to come in, Chelsea would be open to selling.

Contract situation: Signed five-year deal to 2028 last season

Estimated market value: £85m

Linked with: Paris St-Germain

BBC Sport chief football news reporter Simon Stone: At his best, he has a combination of lightning speed and finishing power that frightens any defences. However, too often he drifts out of games and his work rate has been questioned.

As one of United’s highest earners, realistically the market for Rashford is small. It seems far more likely he'll remain at Old Trafford.

Supporters love homegrown players coming through into the first team, hailing them as 'one of their own' and the connection between club and fans.

However, Premier League club accountants also relish academy graduates - with a growing trend of selling them to generate 'pure profit' and help navigate the strict financial rules which have bitten hard this season.

After Manchester City academy graduate Cole Palmer left for Chelsea in a surprise £42.5m deal last summer, could we see a flurry of similar transfers this summer, including Marcus Rashford?
