I've read several articles that have been damaging to me. I know I've had bad matches, I'm aware of that. I'm not hiding anything, and I'm open about it. I'm truly sad. You can say many things about me, but under no circumstances can you say I refuse to play. I've given everything and more for this club. I've played through fractures and injuries, and I've never complained or asked for a break.
That was made evident with their efforts to sign Marc Guehi in the summer, they wanted him to come in as the new partner for Van Dijk. Obviously they weren't able to get Guehi in, so Konate is still a very important player for them, and they can't afford for him to keep making mistakes. I expect the manager was raging at him after that performance against Palace because he was miles off it, and that's not what they need.
Manchester United are interested in signing Carlos Baleba from Brighton and Hove Albion in the January transfer window, according to Football Insider. Man United wanted to strike a deal with Premier League rivals Brighton for Baleba in the summer of 2025, but the Red Devils could not convince the Seagulls to sell him. The Premier League giants are likely to go back for Baleba when the transfer window opens in January.
Manchester United came into the 2025/26 season with sky-high expectations, heavy summer investment and a fanbase eager for momentum. But while some signings have delivered right away, others have struggled to make the impact expected of them, leading to growing chatter about what works, what doesn't, and who must step up. One player who has still not made an impact at Old Trafford is Joshua Zirkzee, a 36 million signing who has yet to rediscover the touch that made him one of Europe's promising forwards.
It would be a hard deal to do. It's no surprise that there were some clubs sniffing around Gallagher in the summer. He's been in and out of the Atletico Madrid side, not played as many minutes as he would like in La Liga, but he did start in the Champions League against Liverpool. That makes it a difficult deal to do in January due to the fee involved and obviously Atletico would need to bring in a replacement for him as well.
Manchester United are reportedly among the clubs showing an interest in the potential transfer of Barcelona central midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The Netherlands international has shone during his time at Barca, but he's coming towards the end of his contract, potentially making him a free agent next summer. It seems Man Utd and others have been keen to take advantage of the situation, with Fichajes naming them and Bayern as two
Barkley has had something of an up-and-down career down the years and it's now unclear what the future could hold for him. The 31-year-old started out as a real wonderkid in his Everton days, but struggled when he later earned a big move to Chelsea. Since then, Barkley has occasionally shown signs of reviving his career in spells with Luton Town and Aston Villa, but he's now fallen down the pecking order in Unai Emery's squad again.
Man United and Arsenal have dispatched scouts to Portugal in recent weeks, eager to evaluate Debast's game in detail. Reports suggest Man United could test Sporting's resolve with a bid in the region of 40 million, though that figure falls well short of the defender's 80 million release clause. Sporting, however, may be open to negotiations below that threshold, given the sizeable 15% sell-on clause owed to Anderlecht, Debast's former club.
Real Madrid have been linked with a surprise move for the Liverpool attacker, Rio Ngumoha. The 17-year-old recently made his debut for Liverpool against Newcastle United away from home in the Premier League, and he scored the match-winning goal for his team. He is regarded as an elite talent, and Real Madrid believe that he could develop into a top-class player.
My focus will be to play international matches and then have a good summer holiday. It's been a great place for me and my family, and we've been there for many years. "When I moved from Tottenham to Inter, it wasn't the plan for me to go back to England. I've been there for three and a half years again since then, so you can never say never, but the priority is for me to leave.
AC Milan are reportedly showing a strong interest in a late potential summer transfer window move for Leicester City centre-back Caleb Okoli. The 24-year-old only joined Leicester just over a year ago, and has become an important member of the Foxes' first-team in that time. Still, it seems Okoli is now firmly on Milan's radar as they look for defensive reinforcements towards the end of the summer.
Honestly, I was gutted that I couldn't go to the Gold Cup. The coaches were all disappointed that I didn't go but ultimately I needed to make that decision for myself because I needed to switch off after a tough season. I needed that time off. Ultimately it was to take that period off then so that I could be in good shape to be able to carry on now the whole season and be able to give my best for club and the national team.
James McAtee, despite a strong season, faces uncertain future at Manchester City as speculation grows about his potential departure, amplified by his absence from the Club World Cup squad.
