SG8:, external With Klopp at Liverpool, Guardiola at City and Conte at Chelsea. Mourinho will find it very difficult to succeed at Man Utd.

Chelsea Warrior:, external Mourinho to United is wrong on so many levels. It's like casting Arnold Schwarzenegger in a romantic sitcom. Doomed to fail.

Ian:, external I'm not Mourinho's biggest fan but he's a proven winner & if United had got him.back in Jan they would be in the top four now.

Reuters report that Manchester United will make a statement at 13:00 BST.

Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla with their kit for next season. Yes that peculiar black stripe is down the centre of the shirt. Recently Granit Xhaka has been pictured wearing the new kit,, external even though his protracted transfer has not been confirmed yet. Oh, protracted football developments eh?

Julian Gold:, external Hope that LvG is treated with the respect he deserves. He wasn't a brilliant fit but failures weren't all down to him.

Oluwaseun Badejo:, external If it's true United are going this route, then, football died today. Hope Utd recover from Hurricane Mourinho. Sad day.

Mark Randle:, external Yes LVG brought the FA Cup but he ruined Di Maria & Falcao, sold Hernandez and Welbeck and played the worse football ever seen!

Chris Vernalls:, external Mourinho wins trophies, but in the past van Gaal did too. A gamble between the two as far as I can see.

Michelle Payne, who made history in November by becoming the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup, is recovering in hospital after a fall at a race meeting in Australia.

The 30-year-old is suffering with abdominal pains after she was unshipped from Dutch Courage, trained by her brother, Patrick, in a five-furlong sprint. 

The jockey was conscious and had full movement of her limbs before being taken by ambulance to Mildura Base Hospital for further observation.
