Daley Blind has been one of the successes of Manchester United's season so far.

The Dutchman was thought likely to be one of the victims of Jose Mourinho's appointment as Louis van Gaal's successor.

But in both central defence and at left-back, Blind has been a dependable presence under the new regime.

Player and manager will be talking to the media shortly.

Alan Rolfe: Nobody seems to be mentioning Tony Pulis as a possible England manager.

Christian Evans: Pochettino for next England manager. Tactically brilliant and can get the best out of Kane, Alli, Rose, Walker et al.

Andrew Neill: Wenger has said he's not interested until his contract is up at Arsenal. Maybe install Hiddink until then to start the work?

Former England captain Terry Butcher has been speaking on BBC Radio 5 live about Sam Alladyce's resignation from the England manager role. 

He said he was “absolutely shocked and sad to see Sam go because I thought he was the right man for the job. I was really looking forward to him having a long and successful career with England”

On the situation with English football, Butcher said, “I didn’t think English football could really get any lower after Iceland – now we’re really at an all-time low. I think Alan Shearer said it well on the BBC website - it really is the lowest point of English football”

In terms of finding a permanent replacement for Allardyce, Butcher had some thoughts on the nationality of his successor. 

“I would hate for us to go foreign again – I think you still need an Englishman in charge of the national team. [Because] you need communication, you need understanding.”    

The League Manager's Association say they are "extremely concerned" about allegations in the Daily Telegraph.

The newspaper reports that eight current or former Premier League managers have taken bribes for player transfers.

The LMA added: "We take the allegations very seriously as they are obviously damaging to the game.

"We are in regular communication with The FA to establish the facts relating to those allegations."

We'll bring you more on this shortly

Kevin Smith: Discussing who the next England manager will be has become far more entertaining than watching England play these days  

Say What You See: Hate to say it, we need a winner, Klinsmann, he will in still what we require! It's like Bayliss in the cricket, attacking. 

Russell: Alan Shearer for England manager. Experience has counted for nothing so far and he'll bring discipline and command respect.

Russian website Sport Express , externalsaid Allardyce is just the latest victim of a hostile UK press, saying: "Big Sam is far from the first Briton to be 'given up' by his own countrymen,"

Roman Trushechkin, commentator on Russia's Match TV, took a similar line, tweeting: "First [former England boss Sven-Goran] Eriksson's fake sheikh, and now Singaporean 'businessmen'. This is journalism?" he tweeted.

Liverpool's Sadio Mane has won the PFA Fans' Premier League Player of the Month award for August and September, beating Kevin De Bruyne and Etienne Capoue to second and third respectively.

Jurgen Klopp's side are now fourth in the table and the division's second-top scorers behind Manchester City, with 16 goals in six matches - 11 of those coming in their past three.
