Bobby Robson is being tipped to receive his long-awaited knighthood this weekend when the Queen's Birthday Honours List is announced.

A media campaign has been waged for many months to turn the former England boss into Sir Bobby.
And United fans' group Talkofthetyne claims to have inside knowledge that the wait is finally over.

"I'd rather not say where this has come from, but it is going to happen this weekend," said editor Kev Fletcher.

Robson himself has refused to be drawn on the speculation, while a club spokesman said: "We cannot comment on whether or not it will happen.
"But if it does, I'm sure everyone at the club will be absolutely delighted."
