Wayne Rooney retains England captaincy
Wayne Rooney will continue as England captain after manager Sam Allardyce made the "easy'' decision to retain his services.

Hart allowed to leave England camp: To complete Torino deal today
Joe Hart has been given permission to leave the England training camp so he can undergo a medical ahead of a proposed move to Torino. The Serie A club have been in talks with Manchester City over a loan move for the Three Lions goalkeeper, and it appears as if the 29-year-old is edging closer to leaving for Italy. Pep Guardiola has made it clear Hart is not a part of his plans at the Etihad, and following the signing of Claudio Bravo from Barcelona, the England man has been forced to look for a move away from City.

United want to keep Marcos Rojo – agent
In spite of being heavily linked with a move away from the club, it appears that Marcos Rojo will be staying at Manchester United.
