Rio Ferdinand has urged Manchester United to prioritise signing two midfielders this summer‚ as well as recruiting in two other positions. The Red Devils currently sit third in the Premier League table with seven matches left - after a revival under interim head coach Michael Carrick - as they battle to secure a Champions League spot next season. Carrick's audition for the full-time position in the dugout has been impressive‚ United have lost just once since his arrival‚ winning seven matches. However‚ it is yet to be seen whether the hierarchy at Old Trafford will give him the permanent position. Neverthless‚ Ferdinand has his eyes set on the summer‚ and how United can improve their team for whoever is in charge next season.

Arsenal's progress to the Women's Champions League semi-finals was marred by a hair pulling controversy that left Chelsea boss Sonia Bompaster seething. The Blues' 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night was not enough to overturn their 3-1 first leg deficit‚ but Bompaster felt the Gunners should have been down to 10 following a bizarre moment involving Arsenal star Kate McCabe and Chelsea rival Alyssa Thompson.

The four-times world champions will not be competing for football's top prize this summer after falling to penalty shoothout defeat against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Sarajevo on Tuesday night. This latest failure - described as an 'apocalypse' by the Italian media - is yet another lowly chapter for one of the game's traditional powerhouses‚ who last won a knockout game at a World Cup in 2006‚ when they beat France in the final in Germany.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: If this result does not force Italian football to rip everything up and start again‚ perhaps nothing will. The four-times world champions have failed to qualify for a third consecutive World Cup - a source of utter shame for one of the game's traditional powerhouses. Playing with 10 men for much of the match‚ Italy eventually succumbed 4-1 on penalties to Bosnia-Herzegovina and will miss out on next summer's showpiece in North America and Mexico. There was glory for the 40-year-old Edin Dzeko‚ who will become one of the oldest outfield players to contest a World Cup. Bosnia had 31 in shots in total and deserved to advance.

The head coach met with chief executive David Hopkinson for lunch last week‚ when possible scenarios and strategies ahead of the summer were considered‚ depending on where the team finishes in the Premier League. The reality of the club's finances‚ amid Premier League and UEFA spending rules‚ means they will have to sell to buy if missing out on the Champions League.

Spurs have been searching for their fourth head coach in 295 days after Igor Tudor's exit and De Zerbi is the top candidate amid a series of talks between the two parties. The Italian‚ 46‚ has drawn objections from some sections of supporters for his role in rebuilding Mason Greenwood 's reputation at Marseille and is also thought to be keen to wait until the summer‚ but there appears to be no time to waste. If appointed‚ the former Brighton boss will have seven games to save his new side from a disastrous relegation to the Championship before looking to kick on in the top flight next season.

IAN LADYMAN: Thomas Tuchel has admitted that the mass withdrawal of Arsenal players from international camps looks 'suspicious' but is adamant that England duo Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are genuinely too injured to feature against Japan at Wembley on Tuesday night. Rice and Saka have returned to their club without kicking a ball for England after reporting for duty to watch last Friday's draw with Uruguay. The duo were part of a group of players given time off for that game but were originally expected to play tomorrow. But both players left camp over the weekend along with club mate Noni Madueke‚ who was injured during the Uruguay game. This took the number of Arsenal players to have left national team meet-ups around the world to eleven‚ raising eyebrows give the Gunners have just lost the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City and have a Champions League first leg against Sporting Lisbon to play next Tuesday.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT THE CARDIFF CITY STADIUM: Smoke bombs and flares in an away end can make for a striking visual‚ but nothing burns quite like the déjà vu of a near miss. For the Welsh‚ a second major championship in succession has been lost to the dramatic agonies of a penalty shootout. Precisely two years since they lost to Poland by such means in a play-off for Euro 2024‚ they were edged by the Bosnians here in pursuit of the World Cup. A skied effort from Brennan Johnson and a saved one off the boot of Neco Williams proved decisive. Instead of a date with the Italians at this ground on Tuesday‚ they will now have to process a truly galling end to their campaign.
