Minnesota United are close to completing a deal to appoint Manchester United assistant coach Eric Ramsay as their new head coach , as reported by Tom Bogert of The Athletic. The MLS club are planning to appoint a new boss before their MLS season opener against Austin FC after interim head coach Sean McAuley left the club to join Indy Eleven at the start of the year. Ramsay, 32, has been approached over a move to Allianz Field, where he would become Major League Soccer’s second youngest-ever head coach . Yoann Damet was FC Cincinnati’s interim manager in 2019 when he was 29 years old, while Roy Wegerle was 32 when he led the Colorado Rapids in 1996.

Six-time world champion Marquez will ride a Gresini-run Ducati from 2023 this year, having left Honda after 11 years with the Japanese manufacturer. Marquez was one of the biggest attractions during the first pre- season test at Sepang, where he finished with the sixth quickest time of the three days of running. The Spaniard was hindered by some technical issues that cost him track time, and he admitted he was still riding the Ducati the same way he rode his Honda, claiming he was not as quick as Martin or Ducati's reigning world champion Francesco Bagnaia. Last year's runner-up Martin reckons, however, that Marquez could be in the fight to win the season opener. Asked if Marquez was faster or slower than expected during the test, Martin said: "He's where I expected, so he will be really close and ready maybe for the victory in Qatar." Pramac rider Martin lost out to Bagnaia for the 2023 title after an intense bat...

Erik ten Hag says he knew regression at Manchester United was possible in his second season after a positive first campaign at Old Trafford. The Red Devils ended a six-year wait for a trophy in 2022/23 as they claimed the Carabao Cup and finished third in the Premier League after a dicy start. However, Man Utd currently sit in ninth position ahead of Sunday's clash with Tottenham Hotspur, who are eight points ahead in fifth, and are out of Europe after finishing last in their Champions League group before Christmas. Ten Hag said: "I knew this could happen . You need time to get the progress in, so for me it's not difficult. I see it very rational. "We didn't get the points in the season and from there on you get some negativity and some injuries and you get a pattern where a lot is going against you. You have to deal with some setbacks but that belongs to the process. "It's not difficult for me because I could expect from the start of this season, when...
