Manchester United captain Rooney withdraws from England squad

Wayne Rooney has withdrawn from the England squad after suffering a minor knee injury.
The Manchester United captain has returned to Carrington for further assessment on the problem after sitting out Monday's training session.
However, he may not necessarily be out of United's Premier League fixture with Arsenal on Saturday.
The England international was due to be rested in Tuesday's friendly with Spain at Wembley by interim manager Gareth Southgate, so an early release from the Three Lions' camp is a logical precaution.
Jose Mourinho will already be missing striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Arsene Wenger's Gunners after the Swede picked up a suspension for a fifth yellow card against Swansea last time out.
Marcus Rashford will be hoping to get the start up front for United, but was forced to play on the wing in the defeat to Fenerbahce while Rooney was in the central role until Ibrahimovic was introduced.
Arsenal will be without Hector Bellerin for the clash, but Alexis Sanchez has been declared fit to play for Chile on Tuesday after an injury scare last week when he suffered a "low grade" muscle tear.

Schweinsteiger: I am ready whenever Mourinho needs me

Bastian Schweinsteiger has told Jose Mourinho that he is ready to give his all for the team whenever the Manchester United manager needs him. The former Germany international has yet to feature in a competitive game this season after being deemed surplus to requirements by Mourinho at the start of the campaign. He was recently welcomed back to first-team training, though, and is desperate to start playing games again. "I am trying to keep myself fit for the situation in which I am needed," Schweinsteiger was quoted as saying by Eurosport. "Hopefully I will be given a chance. I look forward to training every day and being able to train with the team. I do not know if I will get a chance but I hope so. If I am needed, I will give everything - I am ready. "I still feel fit at 32 and certainly want to play more years at the top level and, of course, I want to win things. We won the FA Cup last year and that was also one of my aims. Of course it would be great to p...

How Cristiano Ronaldo, the world's highest-paid sports star, makes and spends his millions

He is just the third athlete to sign a lifetime deal with Nike, joining LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Ronaldo also signed a new deal with Real Madrid that will keep the Portuguese national with his club team for at least the next five seasons. That deal, along with some of the biggest endorsement deals in football, give him a ludicrous amount of cash to burn. Find out how he earns his money and what he spends all that cash on by clicking through the slides above www.facebook.com

Arsenal fans are not waiting for the first north London derby of the season to reignite their long-running rivalry with Tottenham after poking fun at their £30m signing of Moussa Sissoko from Newcastle, with the France midfielder insisting for years that he wants to play for the Gunners. Sissoko went public on more than one occasion with his desire to play for Arsenal, having seen a string of French internationals pass through the club during Arsene Wenger’s 20-year reign. But while Arsenal considered making a move for the 27-year-old in recent years, his terrible form last season looked to put them off for good. He did impress at Euro 2016 as hosts France reached the final, though that only annoyed Newcastle fans further due to a belief that he simply hadn’t tried to perform to his best level during the 2015/16 campaign as the Magpies were relegated to the Championship. At one point, Sissoko looked to be on his way to Everton after they lodged a £30m offer, but the move trigger...
