Former Manchester United boss David Moyes admits he would be interested in managerial posts with Celtic and Scotland if they became available. The 55-year-old has been without a coaching role since leaving West Ham in the summer of 2018. His reputation was enhanced during a spell at the London Stadium, having previously endured a difficult time at United, Real Sociedad and Sunderland. Moyes is eager to return to the dugout and is actively scouring the market for potential positions. A club job would be his preference but, with questions being asked of Alex McLeish, an international option could appeal. Moyes told BBC Sport: "Club football would be my choice, but Scotland's my country and I'm really passionate. "I've followed Scotland to all the tournaments when I was a young man, I used to go to Wembley regularly with my dad, so I've got some great memories of being a Scotland supporter. "The Scotland job is difficult for anybody because there's great expectation. "I don't think there's any one way we can fix it. I don't have all the answers, but I've got some ideas and thoughts. "There are many things we're not doing in Scotland, we've chosen to bring in lots of foreign players, and cheap foreign players, and maybe a lot of the young Scottish players are not getting the opportunities. "We need to see if we can find a solution to develop more players, but we're not going to do it in two or four years, it's a 10 or 15-year plan." While Moyes could be charged with the task of delivering an upturn in fortune for Scotland, there are high-profile domestic posts that could soon be available. The reins at Celtic may be up for grabs this summer, with Neil Lennon back at Parkhead on an interim basis. The Hoops turned to a familiar face in the wake of Brendan Rodgers’ decision to head for Leicester, and Moyes admits he would be interested if another change is to be made in Glasgow. He added: "I would always be interested, but Lenny's done a brilliant job. "He's been there before and the job he's doing at the moment would warrant being the Celtic manager. He's doing a good job." Lennon has gone unbeaten through his first four games back at Celtic, with three victories claimed from those outings. He has maintained a 10-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, heading into an Old Firm clash with Rangers on Sunday, while also booking a spot in the Scottish Cup semi-finals.

Alexandre Lacazette concedes that it is “going to be difficult” for Arsenal to secure a top-four finish in the Premier League. As things stand, with eight games remaining, the Gunners’ fate rests in their own hands. Unai Emery’s side sit fourth in the table at present, two points clear of Manchester United and three ahead of Chelsea. They are also only one behind arch-rivals Tottenham, with their north London neighbours having endured a wobble to suggest that third spot is still up for grabs. Lacazette is looking forward to what promises to be an intriguing run-in but admits that securing a return to the Champions League will not be easy with so many sides still in the hunt. The France international striker told Sport360: “It’s going to be difficult of course, but exciting as well. “It’s been a good battle all season so we just want to win every single game and finish third or fourth. It will be good for us and our fans.” Arsenal are considered to have a favourable finish to their Premier League schedule. Wolves, Watford and Leicester are the only sides currently perched inside the top 10 that they are set to face. They do have the added distraction of a Europa League bid, with Napoli next up at the quarter-final stage of that competition. The Gunners are feeling refreshed, though, after taking in a warm-weather break in Dubai and Lacazette is upbeat ahead of a return to domestic action against Newcastle on Monday. He added: “It was a good idea by the club to bring the players available here to Dubai. It’s been good weather, it was a good pitch, great facilities. Everyone enjoyed it and we worked well for one week. “Now we have to come back to London and stay focused on the Premier League and Europa League.” Once their efforts in 2018-19 come to a close, it has been revealed that Arsenal will be facing Bayern Munich, Roma and Real Madrid in the next International Champions Cup. Those meetings with European heavyweights will be taken in during July, as Emery’s side ready themselves for the next Premier League season.

Manchester United are facing their “most important appointment since Sir Alex Ferguson left”, says Andy Cole, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seemingly the right man for the job. The Red Devils have been without a permanent manager since parting with Jose Mourinho in December. Solskjaer was handed the reins on an interim basis and has overseen 14 wins from 19 games, with United back in the hunt for a top-four finish and through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Cole believes that immediate impact at Old Trafford has made his fellow Treble winner the favourite to remain at the helm, telling Sky Sports: "I would give him the job. "When he came to the club I could see why they were doing it, but we've got to be all brutally honest - I don't think anyone could have sat here and said he would do as well as he has. "He has gone in, he has galvanised the club, they've got results at the right time." Cole added, with Solskjaer having suffered back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Wolves heading into the international break: "Fair enough, they have lost the last couple, but I just think he is trying to get Manchester United playing the way they used to play - attractive football, scoring goals and being entertaining. "His staff have had a lot to do it with as well. Bringing Mike Phelan back was essential." While backing Solskjaer’s claims to landing a full-time position at United, former frontman Cole concedes that the club have to get their next coaching call right after failed experiments with David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Mourinho. He said of a team still struggling to find a suitable successor to an iconic boss who headed into retirement on the back of a Premier League title triumph in 2013: "We all know this is possibly the most important appointment since Sir Alex left. "When people are talking about Manchester United finishing in the top four of the Premier League and it's time to celebrate, I am scratching my head. "That's not something to celebrate. It is Manchester United. For me you celebrate winning the league, getting to the European Cup final or winning the FA Cup, or whatever. "It's a massive appointment and if Ole does get the job, no doubt he will know just how tough it is to try and propel the club forward and be competing with Manchester City and Liverpool."

Thibaut Courtois would like Belgium team-mate and Chelsea star Eden Hazard to join him at Real Madrid. Hazard revealed in early February he had made a decision over his future, but the star attacker is yet to announce his plans. The 28-year-old, whose contract runs until 2020, has long been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu and Courtois wants Hazard to move to the La Liga giants. "I don't know if he is going to sign for Real Madrid, nor do I know if the club want him," the goalkeeper told Onda Cero on Wednesday. "For me, he is a great player, but I don't decide those things. "Each one decides what he does with his life. For me, he is one of the best in the world and as a friend I would like him to be here." Courtois played four seasons at Chelsea before making the switch to Madrid in August last year. Hazard has scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists in 29 Premier League games this season, with Chelsea sitting sixth in the table. The 28-year-old scored on his 100th appearance for Belgium on Sunday but dismissed reports that a deal with the Spanish giants is already done. "There is still nothing," he said when pressed by for an answer about his Madrid future while on international duty . Chelsea return to Premier League action Sunday as they travel to face Cardiff City, with a clash against Brighton to follow on Wednesday.  The Blues are also still in the running in the Europa League, where they are set to face a quarter-final against Slavia Praha, with the first match to be played on April 11 and Chelsea hosting the second leg a week later with a crunch clash against Liverpool tucked in between.   

Everton's Cenk Tosun has admitted that he was ready to leave the club on loan in January in search of more time on the field. The Turkey international began the 2018-19 Premier League campaign as Marco Silva's first-choice centre-forward, but has since struggled to hold on to his starting spot in the Portuguese's plans. Brazilian forward Richarlison, brought in from Watford last summer for a £35 million fee, has been deployed in the central role more than a few times, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin has also been given time to try and prove himself at the highest level in England. Richarlison's goal return of 12 in 29 matches means he has outscored both Tosun and Calvert-Lewin combined, with the former Besiktas man only managing two goals in the top flight so far this term, while the English attacker has six in 29. The 27-year-old did however bag a double in Turkey's 4-0 win over Moldova during the international break and he will hope to continue that form as he seeks more playing time at a club which he said 'needs him'. “I still have a lot to do in the Premier League,” Tosun told Sabah of his ongoing development in the wake of having a January loan move turned down by the Toffees. “I still have a three-and-a-half-year contract with Everton and I want to continue in Europe. My aim is to play more. “I had offers from Spanish and English clubs [in January]. I told the club I am ready to go out on loan and return stronger, but they told me they needed me here.” The club has invested heavily in recent windows with a view to pushing for European football, but the Merseyside outfit currently sit only 11th in the league table. However, the Blue side of Liverpool played hosts to Chelsea earlier in March and sent the London side back to Stamford Bridge with nothing as the hosts ran out 2-0 winners, a possible sign that things could be on the up at Goodison. Only four points separate Silva's side from seventh-placed Wolves, although Everton have played one game more than Nune Espirito Santo's high-fliers. The Toffees will look to kick on from their win over Chelsea when they visit West Ham on Sunday as the Premier League returns following the international break.
