Argentine could leave Old Trafford this transfer window
Hot off the press: I’m just back from Manchester Airport and who should come pacing past me while I was waiting in Terminal One but Little Carlos Tevez.

Thanks,
Alex
The Champions League draw has thrown the old Premier League sparring partners together. Here’s a look at Jose and Fergie’s harshest and kindest words for each other.
“In the second half it was whistle and whistle, fault and fault, cheat and cheat. The referee controlled the game in one way during the first half but in the second they had dozens of free-kicks. I know the referee did not walk to the dressing rooms alone at half-time”

You know the game - find the odd one out in the red hat
Did you spot him? Don’t worry if not - that was a tough one, kids. Dimitar Berbatov has been rocking his Steve Zissou look over in Japan. This is how his painstaking process of withdrawal and isolation begins.
Geno, Geno, Geno, Geno
It’s been a weekend for popular music references in the Premier League, as Phil Brown will testify. Fergie showed better musical taste than the Hull boss by rocking a Geno-era Dexy’s Midnight Runners look during Saturday’s clash with Tottenham.
