Manchester United reportedly have no plans to dismiss head coach Ruben Amorim this summer, even if he fails to secure victory in the Europa League final. Amorim, who was appointed in November to address the mess left by former manager Erik ten Hag, has found himself in an unexpected situation. United currently sit 16th in the Premier League, but a win over fellow strugglers Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final could restore some credibility and secure a spot in next season’s Champions League. The 39-year-old coach has admitted feeling “embarrassed” by the club’s current form and hinted at a…

Arsenal are reportedly on the verge of finalizing the sale of dynamic full-back Nuno Tavares to Lazio, but the Gunners’ interest in the defender extends beyond this transfer. Tavares joined Arsenal from Benfica in 2021 as a promising prospect, having shown glimpses of potential while serving as Alejandro Grimaldo’s backup. When Kieran Tierney’s injury struck, manager Mikel Arteta had no choice but to thrust the then-21-year-old into the high-pressure environment of Premier League football. Known for his energetic runs down the flank, Tavares showed promise at times, although he also had some tough moments, the most memorable being his early…

Borussia Dortmund forward Karim Adeyemi has opened up about why he decided to represent Germany instead of Nigeria. Born in Munich, Germany, to a Nigerian father and a Romanian mother, the 23-year-old was eligible to play for Germany, Nigeria, and Romania. However, Adeyemi ultimately chose Germany. “It’s a difficult question. I get asked this a lot by my father,” the former Red Bull Salzburg player told Oma Sports. “The German Football Association made me an offer, and I had a good feeling there. In the end, I had to play for Germany. It’s really as simple as that.” Adeyemi has…

Most recently, Madrid surrendered a 2-0 lead…
A visibly frustrated Ruben Amorim has cast doubt over his future at Manchester United, admitting he could walk away if he’s unable to instil a meaningful culture shift within a team he believes is eroding the club’s storied legacy. Following a dismal 2-0 defeat at home to West Ham — United’s 17th Premier League loss of the season, their worst since the relegation campaign of 1973/74 — Amorim didn’t hold back. Despite making six changes after securing a place in the Europa League final, he still fielded a lineup featuring stars like Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo. Yet, the team…

Rashford was previously on Barcelona’s radar during the January transfer window amid uncertainty over his Manchester United future.

Although Villa have yet to decide whether to activate that clause, Rashford is now reportedly keen to explore a potential transfer to Barcelona instead. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Rashford…
