BIG NAME LEAVES OLD TRAFFORD
Sir Alex Ferguson may have convinced Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at Manchester United but he has lost a key member of his backroom staff to former assistant Carlos Queiroz.
Queiroz quit Old Trafford last month to replace Luis Felipe Scolari as Portugal boss and now he has tempted sports scientist Julian Ward to join him in Lisbon.
Ward, 27, has completed a doctorate in sports science, and under Queiroz he will be responsible for collecting statistics and gathering information on Portugal's opponents - both for individual players and a team's tactics.
When Ward was unveiled in Lisbon, he said: "It's an exciting job and it will be a new experience in the world of football."
