    Here is the news all Manchester United fans have been waiting to hear - Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has told BBC Radio Manchester Cristiano Ronaldo still dreams of a return to Old Trafford.

    He says the Real Madrid forward has forgotten about the things he used to complain about, like the weather in Manchester, and now only remembers how the United fans adore him.

    However, with the player and the club both changing drastically since he left six years ago, Balague believes it would be an odd move to go back, and PSG is a more likely destination should Ronaldo ever decide to leave Madrid.

    England's Ben Stokes has had a scan on the shoulder he injured on the first day of the third Test against Pakistan.

    The all-rounder, 24, left the field after a diving attempt to take a catch in Sharjah.

    A full diagnosis is not expected until Tuesday, but he will not be able to bowl during the remainder of the Test and a decision on batting will be made when the results are received.

    You can't fail to have missed this story over the past couple of days and now New Zealand back Sonny Bill Williams has been reunited with the youngster to whom he gave his World Cup winner's medal.

    Charlie Lines raced on to the pitch to celebrate with his All Black heroes as they completed their lap of honour following New Zealand's 34-17 win over Australia, when he was tackled to the ground by a member of security. 

    As if being given the medal was not reward enough, the youngster is now apparently an All Black...

    Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy's hailed misfiring forward Daryl Murphy as a "class striker", who's working hard to end his current goal drought.

    Incredibly last season's 27-goal hero has yet to break his duck for the current campaign and has now failed to find the net in his last 15 Town appearances. 

    "He did all of his finishing work on Friday and he keeps practising... But he's like me and any other player that ever played... when it's not going your way you've just got to work your way through it," McCarthy said.

    The constructive dismissal claim now has two respondents - CFC and Jose Mourinho - both are legally liable so whilst linked are also separate.

    In the case of Jose Mourinho the claim will argue that Carneiro was subject to victimisation and or discrimination.

    Gary McPheat: In the autumn of 1998, my brother in law was diagnosed with terminal cancer. His favourite footballer was Sir Geoff Hurst so I wrote to him via West Ham asking if there was any chance of my brother in law meeting him. 

    Sir Geoff rang me to say he would be in Telford the week before Christmas and would be able to meet up. I took my brother in law and his family to meet Sir Geoff and they spent an hour exchanging stories and chatting. 

    Sir Geoff asked me to keep him in touch. I wrote to him in the spring of 1999 to inform him of my brother-in-law's death. I received a lovely letter back. I will always be grateful.

    France's Victor Dubuisson won his second Turkish Airlines Open, as Rory McIlroy finished a disappointing sixth.

    Dubuisson, 25, carded a closing 66 to finish 22 under par, one shot ahead of South Africa's Jaco van Zyl, with Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat a further shot back.

    McIlroy began the day a shot off the lead after three consecutive 67s.

    But the world number three could only manage a final round of 71, including bogeys on the eight, ninth and 12th.
