Paul Pogba is the story that keeps on giving this summer, but the Manchester Evening News are reporting, external that it could soon be coming to an end.

Manchester United have been linked with a world record move for the 23-year-old Juventus midfielder since before Euro 2016.

But the MEN say that Pogba, who played for United before moving to Italy in 2012, has told his agent Mino Raiola that he is happy to move back to his old club, and that personal terms have been agreed.

I don't know whether the weather is as nice in Austria as it is in Manchester today, but new West Ham man Sofiane Feghouli looks much too relaxed about jumping into that tub of ice than what's natural.

Celtic will have to sell players before they bring in more new recruits, believes club legend Pat Bonner.

Brendan Rodgers has signed just one player, Moussa Dembele, since taking over as manager, but said he is looking at "a couple" more.

"Getting players out first and foremost will be the objective," former Celtic keeper Bonner told BBC Scotland.

Celtic have to turn around a one goal deficit in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier against Gibraltar's Lincoln Red Imps tonight.

Kewilo: Swearing at referees is not a problem. Shirt-pulling, grabbing--cheating and referee & linesmen mistakes are the problem.

James Pinsker: So if a referee gets jogged into mid-match when in the way of a player, the player gets a yellow card! Absolute rubbish!

David Ward: Can't see many Sunday League games finishing with 22 players on the pitch. Good for local FA finances though at £50 per fine.

The head of Chesterfield's commercial department has left the club after a winning raffle entry was faked.

Fans were invited to enter a £20 raffle to follow the team on their pre-season tour of Hungary.

But the winning entry was later described as "not legitimate".

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers says he has been "happy" with his players in every match since taking charge, including the shock defeat by Lincoln Red Imps.

The semi-professionals won 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League second round qualifier in Gibraltar last Tuesday.

"It was a bolt of lightning rather than a massive shock to the world," Rodgers said before tonight's second leg in Glasgow.

"Since I came in, the players have been brilliant, first-class, very humble guys, no ego, they're working hard."

MageRage: Really hope they follow this rule through, but I can see "player power" overruling the change sadly.

Mark Taylor: About time, but aren't some of these (new changes) already in the laws of the game? Previously too soft.

Sean Collinson: Sin bins needed, ref mikes needed, respect from the players needed. They're meant to be role models not children.

It seems like Memphis Depay and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are room sharing as Manchester United tour China.

And if this picture is anything to go by, Memphis might be hoping that he's got some sociable neighbours...

Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard has played down his chances of returning to work at the Anfield club under Jurgen Klopp.

Gerrard, 36, moved to Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the 2014-15 season, in which Liverpool came within a few points of claiming the first Premier League title of his Anfield career, which spanned 17 years and over 500 appearances.

But while the midfielder admitted that a return to the club that he supports would appeal to him, he doesn't believe that any move is imminent. 

“He’s got his own team of people around him that he is very happy and content with," he told Laduma., external

"Liverpool is in my heart and always will be but there’s nothing to comment on.

“There’s no future decision to work with Klopp, I get on really well with him, we’re in contact but there’s no job opportunity there at the moment."

Bad news for newly-promoted Hull City...

The appointment of a new England manager is "getting close", says the Football Association's chief executive Martin Glenn.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce and Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce have been interviewed about succeeding Roy Hodgson, who resigned after the shock last-16 defeat by Iceland at Euro 2016. 

"We've consulted widely in the game and spoken to a handful of people," Glenn told BBC sports editor Dan Roan.

"The new manager's got to be someone who can inspire people."

Remember, we had a vote earlier today asking if Steve Bruce was the right man for the job. Only 18% said 'yes'. Ouch.

In 2015, Zach Johnson defeated Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman in a play-off for the Open Championship.

Last year was not quite as classic as this year's action, but it was the moment Jordan Spieth failed to keep his Grand Slam dream alive at St Andrews. (He still had a pretty good season though).

Championship side Wigan Athletic have signed goalkeeper Adam Bogdan from Liverpool on a season-long loan deal.

The Hungarian made just six appearances for the Reds in his one season after joining on a free transfer from Bolton.  

We have been asking for your thoughts after it was announced that players could be sent off for swearing at referees this season.

Lee Parkinson: It's about time the FA did this, if they can get close to the respect shown in rugby league it will be fantastic.

Iain Wilson: Think the new behaviour rules are good. Another good step would be giving the refs a mic like in rugby.

Ian Farrugia: Rule changes have been needed and can only improve the game, chaos at first but refs will need to be strong-great msg to kids
