Sir Dave Brailsford is no longer a director at Manchester United, a filing by the Premier League club has confirmed.
The 62-year-old played a key role before and after Sir Jim Ratcliffe completed his minority takeover of the club in February 2024, a period which saw him step down as team principal of the Ineos Grenadiers cycling team.
It emerged last June, however, that Brailsford’s role at the club would be scaled back as part of a reshuffle, leading to his return as director of sport for the wider Ineos group.

Former Wisconsin Badgers standout Mimi Colyer earned an incredible honor from Major League Volleyball.
As a rookie with the Dallas Pulse, Colyer has been named the 2026 MLV Outside Hitter of the Year.
Colyer, who was the 2025 AVCA Outside Hitter of the Year, picked up right where she left off after her time in Madison came to an end.
Overall, the California native led the MLV in points (523), points per set (5.08), kills (466), and kills per set (4.52).
If that wasn’t impressive enough, she set new single-season league records in each category.

In recent days, the Giallorossi club appears to have made a decision: the Friedkins have contacted Giovanni Manna.

Direct contact was made between Friedkin and Manna, who also met with Gasperini.

The occasion was loaded with significance. It was Martin O’Neill’s first Old Firm game in charge of Celtic and the 6-2 victory set the tone for an era of dominance.

On 14 June, the UFC will stage an unprecedented event at the White House, as lightweight king Topuria headlines against Justin Gaethje after Alex Pereira fights Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight belt.
Ahead of that celebration of 250 years of the United States, which coincides with Mr Trump’s 80th birthday, the afore-mentioned fighters faced off on the South Lawn and entered the Oval Office.

At the end of the day, undefeated UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev is a prize fighter. While he’s considered one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, the Chechen isn’t in it for the accolades. He admittedly loves what he does, but he does it for the money.
Chimaev headlines Saturday’s UFC 328 fight card at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey against former titleholder and bitter rival Sean Strickland. It will be Chimaev’s first title defense but he doesn’t care about the belt.
