Live Premier League scores Some surprising live scores in the Prem this afternoon: Aston Villa 4-0 Brentford (74′) Leeds 1-2 Fulham (74') Southampton 1-1 Arsenal (75′) Wolves 0-3 Leicester (78′) Burnley fast-track wonderkid 17-year-old keeper Casper Burnley fast-tracked goalkeeper Charlie Casper into their first-team squad training group , at the age of just 17.
Highly-rated Casper is the grandson of former Turf Moor boss Frank and steeped in Clarets tradition, with his rise catching the eye.
Casper may go out on loan this season to keep up his rapid improvement.
The youngster is yet to feature in a matchday squad but Vincent Kompany did bring him along on the short trip to Preston last month.
Casper was delighted to be involved, writing on Instagram: "Great experience with the first team last night ⚽️" Chelsea look to pinch Ronaldo in January Sunday World report that Chelsea are also looking to pounce on the opportunity and join the race for the unsettled veteran.
As revealed by SunSport in the summer, Blues owner Boehly is a huge fan of Ronaldo .
At the time, boss Thomas Tuchel still needed convincing to press ahead with a move but now Graeme Potter is in charge at Stamford Bridge.
A £14m bid was being touted back then however Old Trafford bosses may take whatever they can to ship him off.
Could United salvage anything for Ron?
Old Trafford’s money men insisted Ronaldo, who wanted Champions League football, would only be allowed to go on their terms…and that meant a fee of up to £20m.
Now, though, they have the option of his leaving for nothing, if a vastly reduced severance package was also part of the deal.
It would almost certainly be the case if Ronaldo, who will be 38 in February, decided on America as his next destination.
David Beckham’s Inter Miami are keen on signing him , but although they are confident of meeting his personal terms, a transfer fee on top would make it difficult.
Yet with Ronaldo clearly having reached the end of the road at Old Trafford, there is growing belief a deal can be done after all.
United could fork out £10m to ditch Ron if no one wants to sign him Man Utd could have to fork out almost £10 million if they want to get Cristiano Ronaldo off the books in January.
Ronaldo was axed for yesterday's trip to Chelsea , amid claims he refused to come off the bench in last week’s win over Spurs and looks sure to have played his last game for the club.
Yet if United hope to get rid before his contract expires at the end of the season, they are staring at a pay-off touching eight figures.
Ronaldo would earn around £9.6m in basic wages until June, regardless of any bonus payments for league placings or trophies.
But United do have some wriggle room , not least the option of tearing up his deal if he did indeed refuse to come on as a substitute and was deemed to be in breach of contract.
There is also the bargaining chip of letting him join another club for a knockdown fee or even a free , something they stood firm on last summer.
Agbonlahor slams ‘Mr Mentality Monster' Klopp Gabby Agbonlahor has continued his feud with "Mentality Monster" Jurgen Klopp after Liverpool fell to a 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest.
Ex- Reds striker Taiwo Awoniyi scored the winner to help Forest to their second Premier League win of the season.
And with Liverpool continuing to lose ground on their league rivals - currently sat 11 points behind table-toppers Arsenal - Agbonlahor has ripped into Klopp , questioning whether the "Mentality Monster" German only gets his team up for home games.

Because today was shocking from Liverpool. "Every player apart from Alisson was below a five out of ten today." Rooney returns to HQ Wayne Rooney set tongues wagging when he turned up at Manchester United’s training HQ in a club tracksuit.

The former England international's American outfit finished bottom of the Eastern Conference with just seven wins from 34 matches - although Rooney did not take over until July.
