Hello everyone and Happy World Cup opening day! As you know, though, the transfer market never stops, so enjoy my latest Daily Briefing 🙂
Edwin Van der Sar on links over the Manchester United director job: “I just renewed my contract for another three years here at Ajax. I’ve been here ten years, I enjoy my life here — I like Ajax. We will see what happens in the future.”
