Denmark have progressed a lot as a team on the pitch in recent years and are now a force to be reckoned with, especially in European football. The Danes qualified for the 2022 Qatar World Cup amid huge expectations and hype, but they could not really make an impact at the tournament. Kasper Hjulmand s side drew with Tunisia, lost to France and went down to Australia and finished at the bottom of Group D and got knock…

After being appointed by Oldham Athletic, Paul Scholes becomes the latest former Manchester United star to have played under Alex Ferguson and gone on to become a manager.
Their record is mixed but the strong start made by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer since taking temporary charge at Old Trafford shows why Ferguson s old pupils continue to be in such strong demand.
Unlike former England team-mates Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, Scholes has opted for a low-key start to life as a manager by taking charge of his boyhood club.
The list of Ferguson s former players to have stepped into the dugout is a long one but here are some of the biggest names to have tried their luck.
We can t stop singing this!

Real Madrid would be negligent if they failed to bring Sergio Ramos back to the club one day, according to former team-mate Toni Kroos.
The LaLiga giants announced last week that the long-serving centre-back is to leave the club after a remarkable 16-year spell in the Spanish capital.
Ramos won LaLiga five times with Madrid and helped Los Blancos to four Champions League titles, among an array of other major honours.
But the Spain international will start a new adventure next season after Madrid withdrew their offer of a one-year deal on reduced terms, as confirmed by the long-serving defender.
Kroos spent seven seasons playing in the same side as Ramos and believes the 35-year-old will return to the Santiago Bernabeu in the future.

Edinson Cavani inspired a superb turnaround as Manchester United came from two behind to beat Southampton 3-2.
Jan Bednarek s header and a trademark free-kick from James Ward-Prowse had put Southampton in command at St Mary s Stadium.
But the introduction of Cavani for the second half proved a masterstroke by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that paid initial dividends in the 59th minute when he teed up Bruno Fernandes to halve the deficit.
He then met the midfielder s deflected shot with a diving header to equalise and had the crucial final say when he diverted Marcus Rashford s cross beyond Alex McCarthy in the 92nd minute, securing a record eighth successive Premier League away win for United.

Lionel Messi s home debut for Paris Saint-Germain ended in victory, the Ligue 1 leaders rallying for a 2-1 win over Lyon thanks to Neymar s penalty and a late goal from Mauro Icardi.
Lyon took the lead nine minutes after the break when Karl Toko Ekambi s teasing cross was met by a first-time finish from Lucas Paqueta.
PSG got themselves back on level terms with a 66th-minute penalty, Neymar converting from the spot after he was deemed to have been fouled in the box by Malo Gusto.
Substitute Icardi then popped up in added time at Parc des Princes on Sunday to secure the points for the home side with a brilliant header from Kylian Mbappe s cross.
In a fervent atmosphere generated by the PSG supporters – the air thick with smoke from pyr…
Tottenham Hotspur wanted to sign Marco Asensio from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, according to , as relayed by . It has been reported by the Spanish news outlet that Premier League club Tottenham and Italian outfit AC Milan were keen on signing Asensio, but the Spain international decided to stay at Madrid as he wants to succeed at the Spanish giants.

A spectacular goal from Dele Alli helped Tottenham to a 4-0 win over Wolfsberger on Thursday that secured their place in the last 16 of the Europa League.
Alli scored a stunning bicycle kick in the first half before setting up Carlos Vinicius and substitute Gareth Bale in the second as Jose Mourinho s side eased to an 8-1 aggregate victory.
Spurs third win in nine games in all competitions, capped by a second from Vinicius, was a routine but welcome one, particularly for Mourinho, who was able to rest stars including Harry Kane and Son Heung-min as he looks to put together a string of results and ease some of the speculation over his future.
Spurs have made something of a habit of starting well this season – in fact, no Premier League team can match their tal…
Mauricio Pochettino insists Reece James will not be rushed back from the hamstring injury that has disrupted his season, even if a delayed return costs him a place in England’s Euro 2024 squad.
The club captain has made just eight Premier League appearances this campaign and is at risk of missing out on a second international tournament in as many years, having been ruled out of the 2022 World Cup with a knee problem.
He featured only 16 times in the league last season when a combination of knee and hamstring injuries kept him on the sidelines for club and country.
Mauricio has confirmed defensive duo Thiago Silva and Marc Cucurella could both return at Brentford.
