Manchester United are reportedly interested in the 23-year-old midfielder. A move there would reunite him with former Boro boss Michael Carrick, who is in interim charge at Old Trafford.

Tottenham and Everton have also been linked with Hackney, who has played 29 times for Boro this season.

“He’s very important, of course. He’s

Wolves: An impossible job? Rob Edwards shown the scale of club’s challenge to stay in Premier League

By Total Football News

There is no doubting Wolves’ endeavour, they worked hard for Edwards but there is a glaring lack of quality and belief in the squad.

That low confidence will sap the skill Jorgen Strand Larsen demonstrated by scoring 14 goals last season, or the energy and class which Andre and Joao Gomes have previously shown in midfield.

It will be up to Edwards and his staff to help them rediscover that

By Total Football News

Narrowly defeated in the Championship play-offs last season, Coventry are currently unbeaten this term and have soared into top spot after rattling in 12 goals – and conceding none – in their past three games.

Could last year’s play-off heartbreak actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Frank Lampard’s Sky Blues?

McLean: They definitely look like they’ve learned from last season and improved and that was always

Mehmeti could have given the visitors the lead in fine fashion early on when he latched on to Zak Vyner’s delivery, but his low drive towards goal was well tipped away by Preston keeper Daniel Iversen.

Bristol City kept pushing and Iversen was forced into action again soon afterwards when Mark Sykes sent in a deflected effort which was pushed over the bar.

North End hit back before the break

By Total Football News

Boro’s return of 64 points and a finish of 10th is the lowest under Carrick having been fourth and eighth respectively, with 75 and 69 points respectively.

After a strong November, Middlesbrough were sitting fifth with a play-off finish the least fans were expecting from a team that was scoring lots of goals.

But last season’s top scorer Emmanuel Latte Lath was sold to MLS side Atlanta United in January,
