It's a rumour that is becoming more exasperating by the day. Will Jose Mourinho pack his bags and leave his beloved London? Will he relieve his former teacher, Louis Van Gaal, from his duties at Old Trafford, thus repeating every kung fu movie plotline ever? Well, it kind of depends who you ask.
Yesterday was Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday, and her alleged favorite football team was in a festive mood.

We have been fans of Leicester City left back Christian Fuchs ever since he declared his intention to join the National Football League as a kicker after his soccer days are over.
The Englishman's latest venture, though, just might be our favorite thing he's ever done. Fuchs took advantage of his curious last name and released a clothing line: "No Fuchs Given."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he won’t treat Daniel Sturridge like an orange and squeeze every last drop of playing time out of the striker.
According to Transfermarkt, Sturridge has missed 74 games since the beginning of the 13/14 season, an average of almost 25 games a season, making him on of the most injury prone players in the Premier League.
Chelsea’s meek title defense resulted in Jose Mourinho losing his managerial position back in December. Now, Cesc Fabregas has opened up about the reasons behind Jose Mourinho and Chelsea’s failure on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.
Aston Villa have had a terrible season. They've already been relegated from the Premier League and are as hopeless as a football club can possibly be.
No Villa player has personified this hopelessness as much as Joleon Lescott. The defender tweeted a picture of a cool car immediately following a Villa loss and blamed it on ghosts in his pocket.
And then there was this interview.
This Sunday started out like every other game for the Foxes. An early goal at the 18-minute mark by Jamie Vardy put Leicester City out in front, 1-0. Business as usual it seemed for this club, but 10 minutes into the second half Vardy was dismissed due to his second booking. And, with a foul by Wes Morgan on Andy Carroll in the penalty area, West Ham tied the game at the 84-minute mark. Only two minutes later, West Ham struck again, taking a 2-1 advantage.
Jurgen Klopp was brought to Liverpool because of his reputation and history of success. At his former club, Borussia Dortmund, he had taken a team that had known failure for a long, long time and turned them into a title winner and Champions League finalist. Outside of his ability to build a team and teach it his tactical philosophy, he was known for his power of charisma. He knows how to say the right thing in the right way in order to get a reaction from people.
Buzzer beaters and clutch shots are just part of another day’s work in the world of basketball, and yet are quite a rare commodity in the world of soccer, which makes them extra special when they happen.
And nobody has provided the world with that kind of special more times than Jurgen Klopp in the last few years. So here are the top three nail-biters Klopp and his squads have gifted the world in recent history.
3. Norwich City 4 – 5 Liverpool
When you are 18-years-old and you play for arguably the most noticeable club in the world, you're not supposed to score 6 goals in your first 11 games. But that's what Marcus Rashford has done since LVG called his name to the first team. Rashford kicked off the scoring against West Ham in the FA Cup quarterfinals. The youngster received the ball at the edge off the box after a West Ham turnover and then showed off his footwork before burying a shot off the upper 90 crossbar. So smooth, so pretty.
