Who remembers Freddy Adu, the US footballer who made his MLS debut at the tender age of 14?

He has recently been training with Blackpool and spoke to Tangerine TV about his roller-coaster career, 10 years after bursting onto the scene with D.C United.

Arsenal welcome Manchester United to the Emirates in the Premier League this evening as the Gunners seek to keep pace at the top of the table and United fight to stay in the race for the Champions League.

But ahead of the game in North London this evening we're taking you back to the 1977/78 season - when hair was long and shorts were short - and the clash between the two sides at Highbury.

Bristol City has become the first UK club to install 'safe standing' rail seats at their ground - a move which follows a Football League consultation with clubs over the possible return of standing.

For now the 'safe standing' areas at City's Ashton Gate home would only be used during Bristol rugby matches held at the stadium as current regulations prohibit their use during football matches.

TRANSFER TALK

Championship sides Wigan, Nottingham Forest and Reading are reportedly locked in a three-way battle to bag Hull City defender Jack Hobbs. Tigers boss Steve Bruce has told Sky Sports he expects Hobbs to be on his way before the window closes:

"We have accepted a bid from Forest, we have accepted a bid from Wigan and we have accepted a bid from Reading, so I would expect him by Friday to take up one of those options."

TRANSFER WINDOW LATEST!

According to Sky Bet, West Brom are currently favourites to seal a deal for highly-rated Burnley striker Danny Ings, who has struck 16 times in the Championship this season.

The Baggies are 7/2 to land the Clarets forward, with Fulham their nearest contenders at 6/1. Southampton (9/1) and Liverpool (10/1) are considered outsiders in the race for his signature.

Manchester United wonder kid Adnan Januzaj has hit the headlines today after a student told The Sun the Old Trafford rising star took her on a 'stingy' date to Nando's.

‘I usually go there for a quick bite to eat with my mates. I didn’t expect to be going there on a date with a Man United footballer, especially in my dress and heels.’

Fellow Premier League stars soon jumped to Adnan's defence - and Nando's were quick to offer the young United forward a date on the house (and some important fashion advice).

Hey Adnan, the second date’s on us. (P.S. Maybe ditch the trackies?) #AdNandos pic.twitter.com/6P7MIdOnl7
