 Could Tammy Abraham be moving back to the Premier League? Let's see what the latest rumours are saying. The eyes of two giants of European football are reportedly on Tammy Abraham. Last night to watch the match between Rome and Milan at the Olimpico, there were also some representatives of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.  Both clubs are looking for a striker to reinforce their offensive department and, for different reasons, the former Chelsea could be the right person. At Old Trafford, they are looking for a long-term option to try and help them compete for the Premier League and Champions League next season. For PSG, their failure in the Champions League could see them look to start something of a rebuild. There are rumours that PSG  might see both Lionel Messi and Neymar depart.

 Roma 1 - 0 Feyenoord José Mourinho became the first coach to win all three current men's UEFA club competitions. Let's explore how that happened. You can watch the highlights by watching the video at the bottom of the page. This is the match report from UEFA's official website. Spurred on by their supporters, Feyenoord swiftly looked to reply, forcing Rui Patrício to deal with a succession of threats – Orkun Kökçü's rifled effort the most dangerous of the bunch. In a rapid start to the second half, Mancini diverted onto his own post, before Rui Patrício sprawled to tip Tyrell Malacia's long-range effort onto the woodwork. Danger averted, Mourinho's men could take a breath. Feyenoorders, bedankt voor jullie support dit seizoen in de #UECL .

United had lost the first leg 2-1 and many expected the second leg to be close.
