Clockwatch updates from all the 5.45pm GMT kick-offsLive scores | Read today’s Football Daily | And mail YaraDoes Ange Postecoglou regret saying he “always wins things in his second year”? Maybe, but despite Spurs yo-yo form, he still believes they can all the way and be in the final at Bilbao.The boys really understand there is a great opportunity for us.I said before the [Manchester] United game with the week of training that we had with some of the injured lads coming back – it was a lot of positive energy around the place and we ended up winning that game and keeping a clean sheet. It’s the same feeling now with Mickey and Cuti [Romero] back in the squad and everybody is wanting to finish the season strong.The Yellow Canaries are in good form; their 3-0 win over Antalyaspor on Sunday extends their unbeaten run to 18 matches. José Mourinho’s team are particularly strong at home, having won eight of their past nine at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.However, Mourinho will be without t...

6 h. ago Real Sociedad v Manchester United: Europa League last 16, first leg – live

Europa League updates from 5.45pm GMT kick-offLive scores | Read today’s Football Daily | And mail ScottManchester United are back, baby! No, not like that, unfortunately for their long-suffering fans. They are back in San Sebastian, though, where they’ll fancy themselves to keep their season alive. United won at Anoeta in 2022 thanks to Alejandro Garnacho’s first goal for the club; they drew there in 2013 despite Marouane Fellaini getting himself sent off. They also routed the Basques 4-0 away in 2021, albeit in Turin thanks to Covid. So their record on the road against Erreala is very good indeed.That should give them succour, after their latest dispiriting performance against Fulham in the FA Cup last weekend. They’ll also be thankful that Sociedad aren’t quite up to their recent standards, languishing in mid-table in La Liga and coming off the back of a 4-0 thrashing at Barcelona. Although ninth place when compared to United’s 14th in the Premier but let’s not belabour the point...

Mourinho states he is not looking to leave FenerbahceTakes aim at sacked Clement before Europa League tieJosé Mourinho has not ruled out managing Rangers or Celtic. The Fenerbahce head coach is preparing for Thursday’s Europa League last-16 first leg in Istanbul against Rangers, who have Barry Ferguson in interim charge after the sacking of Philippe Clement.Mourinho, whose Porto side beat Celtic after extra time in the 2003 Uefa Cup final to secure his first European trophy, took some of his coaching badges in Ayrshire in the 1990s. Asked whether coaching in Glasgow appealed to him, he said: “In this moment, no, because I have a job that motivates me and a job that demands loyalty. But why not in the future? People can say that the Scottish League is a league of two teams, but it’s a league of passion. Continue reading...

On Thursday, Shamrock Rovers have the chance to become the first Irish side to reach the last 16 of a European competition when they host Molde in their Europa Conference League playoff second leg, with a 1-0 advantage.On Sunday the League of Ireland’s attendance record was smashed, as more than 33,000 people watched Bohemians v Shamrock Rovers at the Aviva Stadium.
