Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is reportedly “open to the possibility” of joining Roma on loan for the rest of the season. The Brazilian, who was signed for £60m from Real Madrid and became a fan favorite during his debut season at Old Trafford, has struggled to replicate that form in his second season. Under new manager Ruben Amorim, Casemiro has fallen out of favor, making just two starts in the Premier League this season and remaining an unused substitute in eight of the last ten games. He has yet to feature at all in 2025. Amorim has favored other midfield…

Manchester United and Napoli are set to resume discussions over the potential transfer of Alejandro Garnacho, who has also been linked with Chelsea, according to reports. The 20-year-old winger could be allowed to leave Old Trafford if United receive an offer close to their £50m (€60m) asking price, though the club isn’t actively looking to sell the talented Argentine.

However, City’s disappointing European campaign has caught everyone off guard, and now they find themselves dangerously close to missing out on the knockout rounds. As of Matchday 8, the Cityzens sit in 25th place, just outside the playoff…
The English Football Association (FA) has overturned Myles Lewis-Skelly’s three-match ban after accepting Arsenal’s appeal against his dismissal during last weekend’s match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 18-year-old left-back was shown a straight red card by referee Michael Oliver just before halftime in Saturday’s game at Molineux. Lewis-Skelly fouled Matt Doherty by deliberately tripping him to halt a counter-attack, a move he likely expected to be penalized with a yellow card. However, Oliver, with VAR assistance from Darren England, deemed the tackle as “serious foul play,” resulting in the red card. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta strongly contested the decision, and the…

Despite growing frustration among fans, the club’s hierarchy reportedly continues to back Postecoglou, recognizing the significant impact injuries have had on the team’s performance. Speaking after the disappointing Leicester…
