Signed in 1990 by the iconic Brian Clough, Keane became a Forest legend in his three years at the City Ground before moving to Manchester United for what was then the British record transfer fee.

Though it’s partially because to the lack of Thanos in the middle, we believe Howe would use this formation when against supposedly…

After all, the £13 million Barcelona acquisition had been one of the team’s top players in 2024–2025, playing the finest football of his Leeds United career after coming back from a six-week injury layoff following Christmas. Furthermore, Leeds’ decision to put talks on hold raises the possibility that the team would lose their first-choice left-back for free during the forthcoming summer transfer window, as Real Betis is eager to bring Junior Firpo back to…
