Marcus Rashford makes clear desire to play at Barcelona
Marcus Rashford has given the clearest indication yet of his desire to play for Barcelona ahead of his move away from Manchester United this summer being decided. Rashford, who was loaned out to Aston Villa last season, has been warm-weather training in Malaga and has spoken of how much he would like to play with Barcelona's 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal. He also discussed his boyhood idol being ex-Arsenal and Barcelona forward Thierry Henry. Dwaine Maynard, Rashford's brother and agent, has previously held meetings with Barcelona representatives but no deal has progressed. While Barcelona's admiration of Rashford, 27, is genuine, they also hold an interest in Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams and it is unlikely they would sign two wide forwards in the same window. Rashford, when pointedly asked if he would like to play with Yamal, said: 'Yes, for sure. Everyone wants to play with the best. Hopefully... we'll see.' Ruben Amorim froze out Rashford at United last season, dropping him from the match-day squad and then citing his demeanour and standards in training as a factor. But he returned to form during his six months at Villa, reaching the Champions League quarter-finals and helping them towards European qualification. With his loan at Villa over, Rashford returns to the club with the likes of Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho as players who will look for new clubs this summer. Kobbie Mainoo also lost his place in Amorim's team. Speaking to Spanish influencer Javi 'xBuyer' Ruiz, Rashford described how comfortable he is training in Marbella. 'Spain is nice, it is not too far from home,' he said. 'If I'm training over a long period of time, my family can come over as the flight is only three hours. It's a nice location and good weather.' Rashford also named Henry as a player he admired as a youngster. He also listed his qualities as being able to play through the middle, which would be an attribute Barcelona would look at if they were to land Williams and target further attacking players. 'He's [Henry] comfortable playing off the left and in the middle and he is a free-flowing player,' he said. 'When I was young I always enjoyed watching him in the Premier League. The No 9 position is becoming more natural to me.' On Yamal, he added: 'It's difficult to put into words what he's doing because he's not supposed to be doing that at 16 or 17. I don't think we've seen that before. He's going to keep improving.'

Premier League great swaps sidelines for sequins as he signs for Strictly Come Dancing after quitting coaching role
FOOTIE'S Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is ready to swap his tracksuit for sequins to star in Strictly. The former Chelsea and Netherlands striker and ex-England coach, 53, is said to have signed up with the BBC to appear on the next series of the dance show this autumn. 1 His bid for the Glitterball trophy comes after he left his job on Gareth Southgate's backroom team with the Three Lions following last summer's Euro 2024 final loss to Spain. He would follow in the fancy footsteps of a string of former players to appear on Strictly, including ex- Arsenal and England stars Tony Adams and Paul Merson. A TV source said: 'Jimmy has a huge fanbase from his years playing in the Premier League and is a very likeable character. 'Show producers are always keen to book a retired footballer as it gets footie fans tuning into the series and becoming unlikely fans of the show. 'Jimmy has a competitive edge and is going to get his head in the game.' Dad-of-four Jimmy retired in 2008 after nearly two decades as a professional player. He is also known for his spells with Leeds and Middlesbrough. He has also made a name for himself as a respected TV pundit for Sky Sports. A BBC spokesman said: 'We don't comment on speculation.'

Close Michael Schumacher friend paints sad picture of what F1 legend's life has now become after horror ski accident in 2013 left him with brain damage
Michael Schumacher 's former team boss Flavio Briatore has offered a poignant glimpse into the F1 legend's private world. He says he chooses to remember Schumacher as he was, rather than dwell on the heartbreaking reality of his condition more than 10 years after his devastating ski crash. Schumacher has not been seen publicly since suffering catastrophic brain injuries during a skiing accident in the French Alps in December 2013. The seven-time world champion, now 56, has been under 24-hour care at his family home in Switzerland ever since. In a rare comment, Briatore — who oversaw Schumacher's rise at Benetton and remains close to his wife, Corinna — reflected on how he chooses to remember the F1 great, rather than focus on his current condition. 'If I close my eyes, I see him smiling after a win,' he told Corriere della Sera. 'I prefer to remember him like that rather than him just lying on a bed. Corinna and I talk often, though.' The stark image of Schumacher 'just lying on a bed' has reinforced the sense of tragedy surrounding his long struggle, with fans and even some friends largely kept in the dark due to the family's unwavering commitment to privacy. Briatore's comments echo those of his ex-wife, Elisabetta Gregoraci, who claimed in an earlier interview that Schumacher is unable to speak and is visited by only a handful of people. 'Michael doesn't speak, he communicates with his eyes,' she said. 'Only three people can visit him and I know who they are.' That aligns with reports from German journalist Felix Gorner, who said earlier this year the F1 icon is 'completely dependent' on caregivers and 'can no longer express himself verbally.' Despite the silence, a small circle of confidants continues to visit Schumacher — among them Jean Todt, the man who worked alongside him during his dominant Ferrari years. 'I see him regularly and with affection, him and his family. Our bond goes beyond the past work,' Todt told La Repubblica. 'It is part of my life, which today is very far from Formula 1.' Todt has previously revealed he watches races with Schumacher, even if things are no longer as they once were. In 2023, he told L'Equipe: '[He] is simply not the Michael he used to be. He is different and is wonderfully guided by his wife and children, who protect him.' The Schumacher family's desire to shield him from public view has led to confusion — and at times, misinformation. Last year, reports circulated that Schumacher had attended daughter Gina-Maria's wedding in Majorca, but that was swiftly debunked. 'Unfortunately, from what I understand, that was all A1 fake news and no truth in it,' said former Benetton team-mate Johnny Herbert. Nonetheless, the family continue to involve Michael in moments of meaning. Earlier this year, it emerged that he had contributed to a helmet signed by every living F1 world champion for Sir Jackie Stewart's Race Against Dementia charity. 'It is wonderful that Michael could sign the helmet in this worthy cause,' Stewart told the Mail Sport. 'His wife helped him, and it completed the set of every single champion still with us.' Schumacher's wife Corinna also gave a rare glimpse into their life together in the 2021 Netflix documentary Schumacher, explaining how the family remain united around him. 'Michael is here. Different, but he's here, and that gives us strength, I find,' she said. 'We live together at home. We do therapy. We do everything we can to make Michael better and to make sure he's comfortable… and no matter what, I will do everything I can. We all will.'
