PREMIER LEAGUE
Newcastle United reveal record £19m profit for 2013-14
Newcastle United have announced a record annual profit of £18.7m for 2013-14, the fourth consecutive financial year they have made money.
The Premier League club's debt remains at £129m, which they say is an interest-free loan from owner Mike Ashley.
"The club benefits from a supportive owner and is financially stable," said managing director Lee Charnley.
"This gives us a strong platform from which to grow, on and off the pitch."
He added: "A result of which means, as we move forward, we are able to net spend on the playing squad and invest in other areas of the business."
Manchester United's best XI of the season so far: No place for Angel Di Maria or Juan Mata
ANALYSIS: Based on statistics across the season, this is the side Louis van Gaal should play for the remaining few games to give them the best chance of a Champions League return
Predicting a Manchester United starting XI this season has been near impossible - even manager Louis van Gaal has often appeared perplexed over who he should play.
However, with 30 Premier League games now under their belts this season, analysis by The Independent indicates who should be starting the final eight games of the campaign if Manchester United are to stand the best chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
Our friends at Whoscored.com produce a rating for every player, based on every aspect of their performances in the Premier League this season. The figure is considered among the most accurate, respected and well-known performance indicators in the world of football. Exact details on how it is calculated can be found here.
Using the tool, Manchester United's best starting XI can be determined, offering Van Gaal guidance on who should be in his side as they look to clinch a finish in the top four.
The results produce some intriguing findings, with the most expensive signing in British transfer history, Angel Di Maria, failing to warrant a place. Another big-money summer signing, Luke Shaw, also fails to make it in, whilst perhaps less surprisingly, troubled striker Radamel Falcao is also excluded from the 4-4-2 formation.

Arsenal transfer target Chris Smalling 'happy to stay' at Manchester United - but contract negotiations yet to start
Chris Smalling has indicated he wants to remain at Manchester United amid speculation he could be the subject of a summer bid from Arsenal.
The England international will have just 12 months to run on his contract at the end of the season, leading to speculation he could leave Old Trafford once the current campaign is out. According to reports, Arsenal are ready to test United's resolve with a £12m bid.
Whilst Smalling has revealed that contract negotiations at Old Trafford have not begun, the former Fulham player would like to remain at the club.
"Yes, I do," Smalling said when asked if he wanted to stay at United long term.
"I am enjoying it. I always have, and if I can contribute then I am happy to stay for as long as they want me."
When asked if he was happy to wait until the end of the season to start negotiations, Smalling replied: "Yeah, and finish as strong as we can.
"If I can contribute as much as I can then I will be very happy.
"I have not even really discussed it with anyone.
"It's a case of the manager showing his faith in me and if I am playing I am happy and we have another eight games to finish as strong as we can.
"There aren't any negotiations (under way) that I am aware of. I don't really take care of that."
Smalling is in contention to play in England's friendly against Italy on Tuesday night having been an unused substitute in the 4-0 Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania.
