Ruben Amorim has admitted that he will not be afforded the luxury of time to turn things around at Manchester United, acknowledging the growing pressure to achieve immediate results. United’s two-game winning streak before the international break came to an end on Tuesday as they were beaten 1-0 by a strong Nottingham Forest side, with former Red Devil Anthony Elanga scoring the only goal of the match. Defending the club’s decision to let Elanga go in the summer of 2023, Amorim emphasized that Manchester United cannot afford to wait indefinitely for players or managers to come good. “We’re talking about…

Liverpool maintain interest in Alexander Isak but have no intention of meeting Newcastle United’s £150m valuation of the Swedish striker. The Reds are among several top European clubs monitoring Isak, who is having another impressive season with Newcastle. After scoring 25 goals across all competitions last season, Isak has already surpassed 20 goals this term, including a goal in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Barcelona are also reportedly keen on the 25-year-old ahead of the summer transfer window, though Newcastle are determined to hold on to their star forward for the foreseeable future.…
Manchester City stayed in fourth place in the Premier League after securing a comfortable 2-0 win over Leicester City on Wednesday night, who are heading for relegation. In their first league match since the March international break, and fresh off a comeback victory over Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals, City were never troubled. Jack Grealish scored his first Premier League goal since December 2023 within the opening two minutes, and Omar Marmoush doubled the lead midway through the first half, ensuring a straightforward victory.
Reece James has defended Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, insisting that the team has “come on leaps and bounds” this season, despite recent criticism from some fans. Chelsea faced a rocky start under Maresca after his appointment following his success with Leicester City in the Championship, replacing Mauricio Pochettino. However, a strong beginning to the Premier League campaign helped silence many of the early doubters. Although Chelsea briefly appeared to be contenders for the title, their form faltered after the turn of the year, and they’ve struggled to deliver consistent performances and results since then. This sharp decline has led to…
Nottingham Forest fought hard to secure their third consecutive Premier League victory on Tuesday night, edging out Manchester United 1-0 at the City Ground. The home fans, buoyed by their FA Cup quarter-final win at Brighton just days earlier, were in high spirits from the start. Their excitement grew when former Manchester United player Anthony Elanga gave Forest an early lead. The Swedish international broke away from a United corner with blistering pace, fending off several challenges before calmly finishing past Andre Onana. United responded with determination, but the first half lacked rhythm, which played into Forest’s hands. The visitors’…
Enzo Maresca has declined to comment on whether Jadon Sancho will remain at Chelsea next season but acknowledged the winger’s performance has not been up to standard this term. Sancho, currently on loan from Manchester United with an obligation for Chelsea to buy him for £25m, could reportedly be released from that agreement by paying a £5m penalty fee. The player himself is said to be interested in returning to his former club Borussia Dortmund, where he made his mark between 2017 and 2021, and also spent part of last season on loan. “I’m completely focused on the next nine…
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that midfielder Romeo Lavia has suffered another injury setback, forcing him back onto the sidelines. Lavia had recently returned from a hamstring injury, making a brief appearance in Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal before the international break—his third appearance of 2025 and 13th across all competitions this season. However, he has now encountered another issue, picking up a problem during training ahead of Thursday’s Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur. “He was making progress, but unfortunately, one day ago, he had another small issue,” Maresca explained. “We’ll see in the next hours how things…

The 26-year-old striker is said to be on Juventus’ radar for the upcoming summer transfer window, but he is focused on a potential switch to the Premier League, as per JuveFC.

The powerful forward has attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal. So far this season, Osimhen has netted 20 goals in 23 league appearances…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed concern after the Gunners lost both Gabriel Magalhães and Jurrien Timber to injuries during their 2-1 win over Fulham on Tuesday evening. While Bukayo Saka made a successful return from injury to score the decisive goal, Arteta’s defensive options are being severely stretched. With Ben White already sidelined and Riccardo Calafiori suffering a knee injury on international duty, Arsenal fans were alarmed to see Gabriel pull up with a hamstring issue just 16 minutes into the match. Timber, who had only recently recovered from illness, was also forced off late in the second half,…
Nigerian winger Moses Simon has been nominated for the Best African Player of the Year award in Ligue 1, which is named in honor of former Cameroon international, Marc-Vivien Foé. Simon has been in outstanding form for Nantes this season, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists for coach Antoine Kombouaré’s side.
