Pep Guardiola confirms he will leave Manchester City, while Michael Carrick will remain at Manchester United, according to the reports. The announcements come as England prepare to travel to the World Cup next month. Multiple outlets also report that England’s squad is set to include some familiar names, but several players associated with the team are not selected for the tournament. The coverage links the two football developments: Guardiola’s planned departure from City and England’s squad selection process. While specific details on which England players are left out are not provided in the shared summaries, all sources agree that England have left out multiple established stars. Taken together, the articles indicate a period of transition across both club football in the Premier League and international competition for England ahead of the World Cup.
