PL news: Fernandinho to leave Man City

-

Manchester City captain Fernandinho has announced his plans to leave the club in the summer.

The midfielder revealed his intentions prior to City's game at Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

Fernandinho

Fernandinho, 36, signed a one-year contract extension with City last June. When asked if he expected to still be at Etihad Stadium next season, he said: "No, I want to play regularly."

The midfielder has won a number of trophies during his time in Manchester. This includes four Premier League titles and six EFL Cups since joining City from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013.

He has made 23 appearances for the club this season, but started just six times in the Premier League as the club bid to retain the title.

Reaction

The news has come as a surprise to the Manchester City boss: "I didn't know it. We will see what happens at the end of the season. We don't know what's going to happen.

"Fernandinho, I've said many times, is so important for me. We will see what happens but, anyway, I will talk to him.

"Maybe it's a family decision or maybe he wants more minutes than he has had this season, I don't know. I will speak to him, of course, but this kind of situation...at the end of the season we are going to talk."

Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference.
