As unlikely as it may seem at this stage, Andre Onana remains open to giving his Man Utd career one more shot next season.

He is far more likely, however, to follow Rashford and Sancho out the door on a permanent basis.

Strasbourg are a success story with the youngest team in Europe. Strasbourg are also owned by BlueCo and are a "sister club" of Chelsea.

I went to the city to try to square a circle that now defines this club. I don’t know if you ever can.
