🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card.

FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.

Michael Carrick's #MUFC contract contains a break clause, making an exit more affordable than with previous Manchester United managers.

Mauricio Pochettino, one of the leading contenders for the role, also has a release clause, which multiple sources believe will not prove prohibitive if #MUFC choose to proceed. The former Spurs and Chelsea boss is open to the role despite only recently extended his contract with US Soccer.

Free agents Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann have also been discussed. £3m due to Newcastle if Howe was to be appointed.
