FA charge Tottenham boss Tudor with misconduct over referee comments
Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Igor Tudor has been charged with misconduct for his remarks about the match official after their 2-1 Premier League defeat at Fulham earlier this month, the FA said on Thursday, Reuters reported.
"I didn't like the referee today, too much of a home team referee," Tudor told the BBC after the game on March 1.
"All the decisions were on their side. He doesn't understand football, the feeling of what is wrong and what is right."
Man United move for Guimaraes as Real Madrid interest clouds talks
Manchester United are in advanced talks to sign Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes for around 80 million euros, but renewed interest from Real Madrid threatens to complicate the proposed move, sources close to the negotiations have told Reuters.
Newcastle's heavy Champions League elimination by Barcelona has paved the way for the Brazilian midfielder's possible departure, with Manchester United targeting the 28-year-old as a replacement for Casemiro, who has already announced he will leave the club.
Casemiro has personally recommended Guimaraes as his ideal successor, citing his experience and leadership, according to the same sources, according to Reuters.
Leeds striker Piroe gets chance to play at World Cup

Suriname are looking to qualify for a first-ever World Cup, and their squad is dominated by Dutch-born players with roots in the South American former colony, according to Reuters.
