"I want to join a team where I can play and have minutes. If it's at Manchester United or another team, I will be equally happy. My priority is to play."

"If you see any confrontations you'll see me running in the complete opposite direction," said Scott before England's opener against France on Tuesday.

There's probably a happy medium between running away and planting your head on someone, no?

UK Athletics chairman Ed Warner has told BBC Radio 5 live the allegations against coach Alberto Salazar could "dog" Mo Farah's reputation for the rest of his career.

BBC's Panorama investigation alleged last week Farah's coach had links to illegal doping - a claim Salazar strenuously denies. There is no suggestion of improper conduct from British Olympic champion athlete Farah.

"If I was a personal friend of Mo's, not the British Athletics chairman, I might have said to him 'the best thing to do is to suspend the relationship for now'," Warner said.

"However I completely respect the fact that Mo has a great loyalty to his coach and of course as the British Athletics chairman you absolutely can't make a knee-jerk reaction like that because Salazar is innocent until proven guilty."
