🚨 MY MANCHESTER UNITED DEFENDER VERDICT 🚨

I've seen suggestions that United should sell Lisandro Martínez and Matthijs de Ligt this summer.

Absolutely not.

✅ KEEP:
• Harry Maguire
• Lisandro Martínez
• Matthijs de Ligt
• Leny Yoro
• Ayden Heaven
• Patrick Dorgu
• Diogo Dalot
• Luke Shaw
• Noussair Mazraoui

Selling quality defenders because of injuries would be a huge mistake. With Champions League football returning, squad depth will be more important than ever.

Martínez brings leadership and quality on the ball.
De Ligt is only 26 and was excellent before injury.
Yoro is a future world-class defender.
Heaven and Dorgu look like stars in the making.

If United are serious about competing next season, midfield should be the priority—not breaking up the defence.

🔴 What's your verdict? Which defender would you sell, if any?

🗣️ Andoni Iraola on why he took the Liverpool job and his relationship with Richard Hughes.

"I identify with the football and the values of the squad, and we are all in for this year...

"It helps a lot that, on the other side of the table, there is someone you have worked with [in Richard Hughes]. We were one year together.

"But this case it's about Liverpool, that's what really attracted me. I am looking forward to getting all the information so I can better understand the club.

"We still have time, one month before we [start] work with the players, but I want to use this month to arrive in the proper way.

"I have been here three years in the Premier League and people have seen Bournemouth play.

"There are some things we need to change coaching Liverpool, but I wouldn't like to lose our identity: the intensity, the aggressiveness, the organisation. There are certain things that I would like to always have in my team, but you also have to adapt to the players you have...

"The fundamentals match quite well what has been Liverpool over the last few years, so I think we can make it work...

"Liverpool gives me the chance to coach top players, and top players give you the chance to fight for titles.

"When you arrive to a [new] place, you can't promise everything, but I understand where I am coming and what is expected. I am ready for the challenge."

🗣️ Andoni Iraola on the Anfield atmosphere. “I’ve been the other side – I still remember the goal Chiesa scored at the end of the first game of the season! [in Liverpool's win over Bournemouth].

“We were there at 2-2 thinking that probably we could take something. He scored and the place erupted. It was crazy, no? I want now to feel this from the other side.

“At the beginning when you arrive at any club, I think you need to kind of prove a little bit yourself. You need to earn the right also to belong. I want to do this as quickly as possible so I can also celebrate with them and I can be part properly of those celebrations.

“For me, football is about emotions. About passion.

“I’m quite cool-headed probably, during my life quite rational, I would say. But it’s true that when the game starts, when you have to celebrate a goal, something is inside, no?

“I think this inner energy, you need it as a player, you need it as a supporter, you need it as a coach. And there's no better place than Anfield.”

🚨 BREAKING: Liverpool confirm Andoni Iraola as their new head coach. He has signed a two-year contract.

For Meru residents, the forest is not just land—it is a spiritual and cultural symbol, woven into traditions and identity.

It is betrayal of the people of Meru, who depend on the forest for water, food, and survival.✊ Our StandOur forest is not for sale.We refuse its destruction.We demand accountability from those behind this act.

The forest is everything to us: our rivers, our farms, our culture, our future. To destroy it is to destroy Meru itself.🔥 Let this be clear: We will not allow our forest to be sold or destroyed.
