While Clearlake owns 61.5 per cent‚ it shares joint control with Boehly‚ who is close to the end of a five-year term as chairman. Next May‚ that role will switch to Clearlake.

LEWIS STEELE AT YANKEE STADIUM: The Andoni Iraola era continued to gather pace in New York as Liverpool beat Wrexham thanks to Rio Ngumoha's second-half goal. At the iconic home of the New York Yankees baseball team‚ Ngumoha cut in from the right wing - pretty much second base on this slapdash‚ bumpy football pitch - and scored via a deflection. It is Liverpool's second win of this pre-season tour of the United States having beaten Sunderland in Nashville last week and they now fly back to their training base in Chicago to take on Leeds on Sunday.

Erling Haaland celebrated turning 26 in style on Tuesday as he showed off his huge birthday feast while holidaying after the World Cup.

American tourists‚ Maguire support and Wrexham chats - Inside Man United's low-key start to pre-season
US President Donald Trump took center stage at MetLife Stadium on Sunday to hand the FIFA World Cup trophy to Spain's triumphant stars after their dramatic final win. The European outfit clinched their second World Cup title after beating Lionel Messi's Argentina 1-0 after extra time‚ following a late strike from forward Ferran Torres. Shortly after the full-time whistle‚ the US President made his way down to the field and onto a stage which had been constructed‚ along with FIFA chief Gianni Infantino.
Wayne Rooney said it best on the BBC. He described it as 'crap'‚ explaining: 'I thought the best part was when it finished.' In that moment‚ Rooney became a man of the match contender. Not many players for Argentina or Spain had performed better by that point‚ after all. The FIFA vanity project started long before this half-time show‚ of course. Those inside the MetLife Stadium could hardly hear the rather random pre-match speech from Tom Cruise because the Argentinian supporters in particular were singing over the American actor's words. Perhaps it was in protest at him not having parachuted on to the pitch. Could have even borrowed Donald Trump's Marine One helicopter that he flew in on. Therein lay the first of FIFA's many mistakes.
