Cristiano Ronaldo was the other. Real united the two in 2013, signing Bale for a then world-record fee of £85m, eclipsing the £80m they had paid for Ronaldo four years earlier. Protracted negotiations meant Bale's presentation to fans at the Bernabeu came close to the transfer deadline, as well as Wales' squad meeting before their game in Macedonia. Many, particularly in Madrid, assumed Bale would stay with his new club.

Some clubs are using a "loophole" in a regulation aimed at increasing the number of black managers in football, says Troy Townsend from anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out. The English Football League (EFL) has a policy - informally known as the 'Rooney Rule' - that clubs must interview at least one black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) candidate for a managerial vacancy. But that is not necessary if they do not have a shortlisting process and interview only one candidate.
Robert Huth was fantastic at it. He didn't have a lot of peace but in training nobody was getting past him. If someone was quicker than him, they would push it and he would step across with the forearm every time, straight into the face. It didn't matter if it was training or a match. Whoever it is, they are getting a forearm. It puts that element of doubt into a winger's mind. I've seen it so many times, with top players laying it off, thinking: 'I'm not going through that again'.

Does Ancelotti not fancy the task of revitalising Arsenal? Are his wage demands beyond affordable? Have talks already broken down?

They want training to be prepared well, they want it to be competitive and well organised and rightly so.

Villa were only promoted from the Championship last term and could be relegated from the Premier League for the second time in five seasons.
