20 yrs since the Glazer takeover in May. So much since then, but this is about the weirdness & conflict of that 2004/05 period. The secretive family who came from nowhere to control #MUFC. And what the club was like before. Speaking to those who were there telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Inside story of how the Glazers pulled off the most toxic takeover in English football history

Special report: Twenty years after leveraged buyout that has netted about £1bn for American family, the fury of fans has only intensified

⚽️ You can loathe the officials, you can be dismayed about rules but someone, somewhere is watching the World Cup with the innocent eyes we all once had... the football is to be enjoyed (thanks to the brilliant @sid_lambert for the inspiring videos 🙌) telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

I love the World Cup – can we please just enjoy it?

The tournament is about memories, so dismissing what will unfold over the next month would be absurd and unfair

Arsenal had a plan that came close to working - whatever the inelegance at times. It was Mikel Arteta’s demands of the club immediately after the final that struck me. It will not be easy to meet them. Report from Budapest: telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Arsenal remain biggest club never to have won the Champions League

Towering first half from Gabriel and Saliba. It's hard to be that focussed against an attack as good as PSG. No margin for error.
