Nuno backs Kilman to win West Ham fans over
Nuno Espirito Santo has backed Max Kilman to win over the West Ham supporters after the defender was booed by his own fanbase against Leeds United.
Defender Kilman has struggled for form since making a 40m switch from Wolves in 2024.
The 28-year-old was jeered by sections of the London Stadium crowd after he clumsily gave away a penalty in the shoot-out defeat against Leeds in the FA Cup on Sunday.
Look, I think in terms of the fans they are giving much more to us than us to them. So we cannot complain, said Hammers boss Nuno, whose side face Wolves in a crunch relegation clash on Friday night, live on Your Site.
I saw a good game from Max. OK, he was in a penalty incident, but I think he held on quite well.
He made a good game, especially for a player that was not involved for such a long period, in terms of competing, duels, in possession, and he was in the build-up for a goal.
So he did a lot of good things and I think he handled the situation well. And at the same time, the group helped. I saw team-mates going around him and supporting.
It shows a lot of togetherness among ourselves. Its positive. Hes OK. Hes working well.
Maguire wants 'big' Man Utd transfer window to push for trophies
Harry Maguire has called for a "big summer" transfer window at Manchester United to build on the success of recent recruitment and help the club push for silverware next season.
Maguire has put pen to paper on a new deal until 2027 at Old Trafford and is now eager to see the club recruit across other areas in the squad.
United are third in the Premier League and have a 95 per cent chance of securing Champions League football next season, according to Opta.
"I always want to be part of a squad that I felt like could compete and the recruitment went well last year. We brought in some top players who helped us," Maguire told ESPN.
"I think this summer's going to be a big summer. I think we've got to recruit really well. Obviously, there's a big manager decision as well, but I think the recruitment side of it is bringing players in.
"I think this summer has got to be a big year because we're not in Europe this year, we've played 40 games at the end of the season, and we definitely need a bigger squad next year.
On expectations for next season, Maguire continued: "I think next season, you look at it, and I think we've got to be in the bracket where if we get the recruitment right and everything's positive from now to the end of the season and we keep going on the curve, there's no ceiling to where we can reach.
"We've got to be in the conversation to go and win the big trophies. We're in a strong position. We've had a great few months under the manager.
"I feel like the squad is starting to look like something that is a strong squad. But this summer's going to be big, really, really big.
"We need more players, we need better quality, we need players to come into the starting eleven. And then when everything comes together, we'll see where it is at the start of the season."
United signed Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Senne Lammens and Benjamin Sesko last summer and Maguire has said any new arrivals must be able to handle the pressure that arrives when you sign for the club.
"I see a lot of players come into this club and quite frankly it's just too big for them," he added.
"The eyes on, the scrutiny, the analysis, every goal that goes in. It's someone's fault. There's going to be ex-players speaking about it. That's just part and parcel of playing for this club."

'Brighton have sell-on clause on Chelsea target Barco'
Brighton have a 10 per cent sell-on clause for Argentinian Valentin Barco, according to talkSPORT.
The player left Brighton and joined Strasbourg in a 8.5m deal in the winter transfer window in the 2024/25 season after making just seven appearances for the Seagulls.
Barco has played 52 games for Strasbourg, scoring two goals and getting 11 assists. He has recently excelled in a new midfield role, and his form has earned him a recall to the Argentina squad.
It has been reported that Chelsea are interested in signing him. Strasbourg and Chelsea are part of the multi-club ownership by BlueCo.
'Newcastle could sell TWO key players this summer'
Newcastle could be forced to sell up to two key players this summer, according to the BBC.
The reports suggest the club are preparing for another busy transfer window but selling key players will depend on Champions League qualification and the financial benefits that follow.
Newcastle are 12th in the Premier League, seven points adrift of Liverpool in fifth.
Your Site News reported it would be a summer of change at the Magpies, with the club braced for interest in players such as Sandro Tonali, Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento.
No player has told Newcastle bosses they want to leave.
Newcastle will prioritise the signing of a new striker this summer - despite spending 125m on Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa last year - as well as a goalkeeper.

Glasner pays tribute to former winger Olise
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has hailed his former winger Michael Olise's "oustanding" performance in Bayern Munich's win at Real Madrid on Tuesday - but said the 24-year-old still has more gears to go through in his career.
Olise only played eight games for Glasner's Eagles following the Austrian's arrival in February 2024 but scored four goals before securing a summer move to Munich, and made a real impression on the boss in their short time together.
"I'm not surprised," Glasner said of his performance at the Bernabeu. "You could see it from the first day he was on the pitch.
"He was injured when I arrived but had a huge impact on our game when he was fit, he was still 22 at the time.
"I watched the game against Real Madrid, it was a great game to watch and he was outstanding. His end to the season is incredible. This isn't his ceiling, he can still do better."
Dortmund director confirms interest in Sancho reunion
Borussia Dortmund managing director Lars Ricken has confirmed the club are considering making an offer to Jadon Sancho.
Sancho is set to become a free agent when his contract at Manchester United and loan at Aston Villa expire simultaneously on June 30.
Sky in Germany reported last month that internal talks were already underway in the boardroom and that the player would be interested in a return to his former club on terms that are less than what he currently earns at Old Trafford.
Ricken has told SportBild in Germany: Were currently looking at a lot of players and analysing them closely.
We check whether they can make us better. Were doing that with Jadon as well.
What next for 'world-class' Michael Olise?
The rest of Europes top clubs would love to sign Michael Olise but as far as Bayern Munich are concerned he is simply not for sale this summer.
The German clubs strong stance even laughing off suggestions that 175m (200m) might be enough has effectively ruled out any concrete interest developing.
Bayerns honorary president Uli Hoeness said last month: "We play this game for our fans it does them little good if we have 200m in the bank and play worse football every Saturday because of it.
And Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen insisted the club were not wasting any thought on it. Hes an FC Bayern player and has all the opportunities here that top players could wish for, he said.
Michael has a contract with us until 2029, without a release clause so were relaxed.
It means Olise is effectively out of reach even for Europes most wealthy clubs, many of whom have recently spent big on their teams and are still in the process of bedding in those players.
Olise has long been linked with Liverpool for instance, but their priority is to get Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz who cost a combined 300m all firing in the same attack.
Manchester City forked out 64m for a new right-winger in Antonie Semenyo in January, while the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United are expected to target new left wingers this summer.
Olise ran the show again as Bayern beat Real Madrid another club reportedly interested in Olise to put one foot in the Champions League semi-finals, but the notion of Real paying the money quoted has been described as a wild rumour by Germany newspaper BILD.
Olise joined Bayern from Crystal Palace in a 51m move in the summer of 2024, amid interest from the likes of Chelsea and Newcastle.
Palace reportedly have a sell-on clause, but they will almost certainly have to wait for any further benefit from Olises progress.
Onana heading for permanent exit door?
Manchester United want to offload Andre Onana this summer despite the Cameroon goalkeeper's desire to resurrect his Old Trafford career, claims the Daily Mail.
Onana has spent the season away from the club, enjoying a successful season in Turkey with Trabzonspor - who sit just a point off the top of the SuperLig.
