  • York City and a ‘3UP’ campaign intended to make football a little less silly

    FAIR GAME? With a reduced slate of action and few transfers of note this week in the men’s or women’s game (unless you count Mainz signing forward and renowned Gwen Stefani fan Benedict Hollerbach), and still no word on Arne Slot’s new residency in Ibiza, Football Daily was fast running out of content for Tuesday’s missive.

    As the dust settles on Manchester United’s post-season tour of Malaysia and Hong Kong, the question must be asked: was it worth it? United may have pocketed around £10m from their six-day, two-match visit to Asia but what they lost was arguably worse. And no, we’re not just talking about their 1-0 defeat against the “Asean All Stars” in Kuala Lumpur, a scratch, invitational side that had never previously played together.
