A 15-year-old Oxford United academy player, Amelia Aplin, has died after collapsing during a youth match against Fulham. The tragic incident occurred at the club's Horspath training centre on Saturday. Oxford United, the Football Association, and the wider football community have expressed immense sadness, and the senior women's team's weekend fixture was postponed.
Even Dorgu was recruited as a defensive player, having made his name as a left back with Lecce prior to a 2025 transfer, and the Dane flourishing higher up the pitch prior to his current injury layoff likely was a happy accident rather than something planned. Matheus Cunha, more suited to No. 10 or No. 9 roles, has been filling the position of late but cannot offer the natural width that is in keeping with the club's DNA.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the Glazers want to have their new manager in place before the North American World Cup gets underway on June 11.

Mata opened the scoring with a free-kick in the 34th minute, and Charles Nduka doubled the lead after coming off the bench. His goal was beautifully struck, bending it around the wall and giving the goalkeeper no chance.
NO. F***ING. FIGHTING. In the opening leg of United's Europa League clash with Real Sociedad last season, Rasmus Hojlund and Diogo Dalot were on the verge of clashing after Dalot chose not to square the ball to Hojlund, who was poised for a simple tap-in. Amid an 18-game goal drought, the Danish forward reacted angrily to the squandered chance, throwing his arms up in frustration before directing a stream of stern words at his team-mate.
