Newcastle United fan gets victory tattoo before EFL Cup defeat..ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standard/240/cpsprodpb/CEA4/production/_128800925_mediaitem128800924.jpgA Newcastle United fan who predicted a cup final win by getting a tattoo says he "got a little bit carried away with myself" after his team fell to defeat. Kris Cook got the chant "Tell me ma me ma, NUFC Cup winners" tattooed on his leg with Sunday's date 26/02/23. Speaking on BBC Radio Newcastle's Matt Bailey at Breakfast, he was asked if he would perhaps change the letter N from NUFC to a letter M, so it read MUFC, instead. "I wouldn't have that on my leg - I would rather have one leg to be fair," he said. "[It was] dedication or stupidity really, I have always loved [Newcastle] but I didn't think I'd be walking around with that on my leg for the rest of my life. "As long as they win something I divn't care, so I can kind of get away with it a little bit. "It will happen next year, or the year after." The chant's lyrics:Tell me ma, me ma, We won't be home for tea, We're going to Wembley, Tell me ma, me ma.

Gossip:Manchester United have joined Chelsea and Arsenal in keeping tabs on Southampton's 19-year-old Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia. Negotiations are ongoing between Manchester United and David de Gea. The Spanish goalkeeper, 32, is out of contract in the summer, but keen to remain at Old Trafford. Manchester United have received loan enquiries from clubs in Turkey for their 21-year-old England forward Mason Greenwood, who is still currently suspended by the club despite criminal charges against him being dropped in February. ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/976/cpsprodpb/11277/production/_128836207_star2.png

ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/2857/production/_128872301_gossip_kane_pa.jpgManchester United believe they will sign England striker Harry Kane, 29, from Tottenham in the summer if Spurs fail to qualify for the Champions League. Arsenal are also leading the race to sign Napoli's Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen, 24, despite interest from Manchester United. Borussia Dortmund's England midfielder Jude Bellingham, 19, rejected a chance to meet Manchester United representatives while at Birmingham City as he did not want to miss training. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag would like to sign Netherlands midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer, but the 25-year-old does not want to leave Barcelona. Manchester United could also make another move for Juventus and France midfielder Adrien Rabiot, 27, who is set to become a free agent in the summer. England defender Harry Maguire, 30, is among a number of first-team players Manchester United are willing to sell this summer. Staff at Manchester United have been assured there should be "clarity" on the club's ownership situation before the end of the season.

Bruno Fernandes should not captain Manchester United again - Chris Sutton..ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/15A1F/production/_128870688_gettyimages-1247784133.jpgBruno Fernandes has scored seven goals and provided 11 assists in 40 games for Manchester United this season Bruno Fernandes should not captain Manchester United again following Sunday's humiliating 7-0 defeat by Liverpool, says Chris Sutton. The Portuguese, who deputises in the absence of club captain Harry Maguire, was criticised for his behaviour and attitude in the game. "There are people that are far better qualified to be captain," Sutton said. "Fernandes is not their best leader. There are more suitable candidates than him, Casemiro being one." Speaking on BBC 5 Live's Monday Night Club, former Premier League striker Sutton, who also suggested Raphael Varane as another option, added: "I think he should never put on the armband again for Manchester United." Fernandes, 28, has 57 goals and 50 assists in 166 games for the club in all competitions, but his body language at Anfield was called "disgraceful" by former United captain Roy Keane, while another former skipper Gary Neville said he was "embarrassing at times". He also appeared to push the referee's assistant in the 81st minute. No action was taken by the referee at the time and the incident is not being investigated by the Football Association BBC Sport has also been told he did not ask to be substituted towards the end of the match, after questions were asked about a gesture he made to the bench. At one point, when Liverpool's Stefan Bajcetic went past him by the touchline, Fernandes stopped rather than giving chase to the midfielder. "That was a standout moment," added Sutton. "However bad United were, you cannot just let someone run away from you and give up. That's what the captain of Manchester United did - and that's a bad look. "I don't think he has any real arguments if he does get stripped of the captaincy," he added. "I think Bruno's days have to be numbered." The defeat came seven days after Manchester United won the Carabao Cup - their first trophy since Erik Ten Hag's arrival as manager last May. They are third in the Premier League and have reached the FA Cup quarter-finals, as well as the last 16 of the Europa League. Ten Hag, who described his side's performance against rivals Liverpool as "unprofessional", dropped the in-form Marcus Rashford earlier this season after the striker missed a team meeting, while Cristiano Ronaldo's contract was terminated by mutual consent in November. "The way Ten Hag has dealt with Rashford, Ronaldo, it's a situation he needs to get a grip of," added Sutton. "Ten Hag has no option but to let him know who is boss." On the United captaincy, football journalist Rory Smith said: "Fernandes is a fighter, he has a win at all costs mentality. To me he looks petulant and whiny, but maybe to other players they just see that as he is desperate to win." Smith added: "As much as Bruno was the most eye-catching shortfall, I would query what happened to Casemiro and also Ten Hag's substitutions. There were more failures than just Bruno Fernandes."

Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham have asked to be kept informed of 27-year-old France midfielder Adrien Rabiot's contract situation at Juventus. Talks between Manchester United and potential buyers of the club will begin this week, with a Qatari group fronted by Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani thought to be the frontrunner.

Tottenham's England striker Harry Kane, 29, is on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag's summer wishlist, as is 22-year-old Ghana attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus from the Dutchman's former club Ajax. But United will look to sell several first-team players, including England defender Harry Maguire, 30, to make room for new additions this summer.
