Il Corriere dello Sport is reporting that AC Milan are keeping close tabs on Udinese starlet Jakub Jankto.

The 21-year-old joined the Zebrette from Slavia Prague in 2014, and he slowly moved up the ranks at Friuli.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer cleared his desk to make way for the next Manchester United manager as he challenged the out-of-sorts Red Devils to kick on and shake themselves out of their dismal slump.

After almost three years in charge, Solskjaer was sacked on Sunday, the 4-1 defeat to Watford a result from which there was no coming back.

It came on the back of excruciating manhandlings by Liverpool and Manchester City at Old Trafford, with United having now lost five of their past seven Premier League games.

Many will consider the Norwegian to have been badly let down by a talented squad, but Solskjaer departed by describing the players he left behind as top lads, top people such an enjoyable bunch to work with .

Malaga winger Santi Cazorla has described Spain team-mate David Villa s absence at Euro 2012 as a heavy blow .

Barcelona announced on Tuesday Villa would be unable to take part in the tournament in Poland and Ukraine, as he will not recover in time from a fractured tibia sustained in December 2011.

A disappointed Cazorla said Spain would not have won either Euro 2008 or the 2010 World Cup without Villa.

This is a considerable loss because David was an important player for us, he told reporters.

If he had not been at the Euros and at the World Cup, Spain would not have been champions.

He gave us a lot, and we will have to make sure that this loss will not be that noticeable. It is a heavy blow, I would like to take this chance to send him my b…

Wilfried Zaha deserves a place in the England squad, according to Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew.

The winger has two caps to his name for the national side, but the last came back in 2013 in a 3-2 victory over Scotland.

But the 24-year-old has impressed this season for a Palace side just one point above the Premier League relegation zone.

Zaha has scored one goal and contributed five assists in 11 games, leading Pardew to push for him to be handed a chance to shine on the international stage again.

I think Wilf is hoping that England come for him, Pardew said.  Personally, I think he s done more than enough to warrant a place.

Even during this run his defensive work has been good, the assists are starting to rack up.

The ball s in…

Lionel Messi is looking forward to football getting back to normal after admitting it is horrible  to play games without fans present inside stadiums. 

Due to the impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, leagues across Europe continue to carry out fixtures behind closed doors in the 2020-21 season. 

This was also the case to finish the previous campaign, meaning Messi has not played in front of supporters at Camp Nou since LaLiga was paused in March. 

The Argentine superstar feels the impact of empty venues has been felt on the pitch too, as it negates any home advantage for teams and leads to more even contests. 

It s horrible to play without fans. It s not a nice feeling, Messi told Marca after picking up the Pichichi award …

The Irishman is seen in the video asking the current crop of players whether they have what it takes to be a true red devil – reference to the return of the fan favourite red devil emblem on the jersey.

“So you’re a devil are you? Well let’s remind you of the terms,” Keane says. “The devil isn’t something you wear. It’s more like a pact, a deal, shall we say.

“It’s not for everyone. We expect a lot. And as sure as the sun will rise, we will know if you mean it. So have a good long think.

“What do you get in return? What’s on offer? It’s Manchester United.

“So there it is. No small print. Sign on the dotted line. But you already signed, didn’t you? Before you were even born.”

Keane ends the sequence sitting at a tabl…
