Sky Sports News: Back Pages Tonight

In a first look at the sports stories in tomorrow’s newspapers, joining us are Jonathan Yu, Guardian sports writer, and Ian Ladyman, Daily Mail football editor.

Tottenham Delight at Frank Appointment

The back page of the Guardian features Tottenham’s delight at the appointment of Thomas Frank as their new manager on a three-year deal. Jonathan Yu shares his thoughts on the appointment, saying, "I think Frank is a pretty smart appointment… He’s a tactically astute manager, incredibly smart tactically, and he’s done a great job at Brentford. He’s got a good reputation, and I think he’ll do a great job at Spurs."

Cultural Challenges Ahead

Jonathan also discusses the cultural challenges Frank may face in moving from Brentford to Tottenham, saying, "The scrutiny is greater, the pressure is greater, and the demands on time are greater… He’s an incredibly smart guy, and I think he’ll handle it well."

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Return

Ian Ladyman from the Daily Mail shares the headline "Trent Reds would welcome me back" about Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has left Liverpool for Madrid. Ian says, "I don’t think there will be going back for Trent Alexander-Arnold actually… It’s a very nice thing for the owners to say to him, and I’m sure he sees it as a polite gesture."

Manchester United’s Transfer Policy

The Telegraph’s sports section features a big smile on the face of Brazilian midfielder, Matias Kuna, after his 62.5 million pound move from Wolves to Manchester United. Jonathan Yu says, "If it is a mark shift it suggests a certain impatience among the top brass over how slow progress under Ralf Rangnick has been so far… I think it’s the fact that Kuna and Bruno have been signed so early in the window is a real statement of intent."

United’s Goal-Scoring Woes

Ian Ladyman comments on Manchester United’s struggles in finding a goal-scorer, saying, "It’s fundamental that they buy a goal scorer… You drop those players into that team without a goal scorer and I’m afraid Manchester United continue to go around in circles for the next eight, nine months."
