UK Back Pages: Alastair Cook Tells ECB It's Either Me or Kevin Pietersen

The fallout of Kevin Pietersen's ECB snub is getting even juicier in Thursday's back pages. 

Mirror Sport reports that both Alastair Cook and ECB administrative staff informed Andrew Strauss that they would revolt if the 34-year-old was allowed back to the England squad. 

The paper also runs with rumours that Manchester City will attempt to lure Kevin De Bruyne back to the Premier League and Nani will return to Old Trafford following his loan spell at Sporting.
