    'Address racism together'published at 08:50 British Summer Time 4 May 2017

    Garth Crooks
    Former Spurs striker

    "This is not just about black players, we've moved on from that. This is about players. 

    "And I'm also a little alarmed that Sulley Muntari's team-mates have not become involved in this. His manager's not said more - he said something but quite frankly what he has said is rather inadequate as far as I'm concerned.

    "So it's about addressing racism together as black players and white players, because that's the only way we're going to get past this problem in football."

    Penalty shootouts in football could be transformed to make them fairer under new plans being looked at by Uefa.

    The sport's European governing body is already trialling a new way for penalties to be taken in decisive shootouts.

    Instead of teams alternating spot-kicks, Uefa is considering a new system similar to the tie-break in tennis.

    The system is being tried out at the European Under-17 Championship, which began in Croatia on Wednesday.

    Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is "humiliating players" by questioning their commitment, says ex-Blackburn striker Chris Sutton.

    Mourinho has appeared to criticise the desire of Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones to return from injuries.

    Sutton told BBC Radio 5 live Mourinho was "running the risk of turning the dressing room against him".

    "To call them out for not playing through the pain barrier is deeply unfair," he added.

    Monaco's young pups will be waking up this morning with a headache after being given the runaround by Juventus in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

    But Lyon will be feeling the same having been hammered by a youthful Ajax side, who took a huge step towards the final of the Europa League.

    Can Manchester United join them?
