November 2025

Former Wake Forest star and 12-year NBA veteran Rodney Rogers has died at 54 from natural causes linked to his long-standing spinal cord injury, ending a 17-year period of paralysis that he used to inspire others through advocacy and foundation work. The ex-ACC Player of the Year and 2000 Sixth Man of the Year, whose No. 54 jersey was retired by Wake Forest, spent his post-accident years promoting resilience for people with spinal injuries, earning a Distinguished Alumni Award and an honorary degree as former coaches and teammates hailed his strength and character.

November 2025

The NBA fined Dillon Brooks $35,000 for confronting officials and using inappropriate language after Phoenix’s one-point win over the Timberwolves, adding another disciplinary mark to the forward’s already volatile reputation with referees and the league office. The incident occurred immediately after the final buzzer at Mortgage Matchup Center, prompting a review by Basketball Operations chief James Jones and resulting in the fine, with the league again signalling a low tolerance for direct verbal abuse of officials in tense late-game situations.

November 2025

Pogba made his long-awaited Monaco debut in the 85th minute of a 4-1 loss at Rennes, stepping onto the pitch for his first competitive appearance in 811 days after an 18-month doping ban and the end of his Juventus contract. Entering with Monaco already 4-0 down and a man short, Pogba treated the cameo as a first step, stressing he still needs time to reach 90-minute fitness while club staff plan a gradual build-up of minutes as he targets consistent league impact and a distant 2026 World Cup dream.

Adeyemi chooses Arsenal project over Manchester United after weapons fine sto

Karim Adeyemi
November 2025

Adeyemi is reported to favour a move to Arsenal over Manchester United, with the Dortmund forward telling intermediaries that Mikel Arteta’s project is his first choice as the Bundesliga club set a £75m valuation that already exceeds United’s planned outlay. United’s early talks with Jorge Mendes faded once Adeyemi made his preference clear, while off the pitch he publicly apologised for receiving a knuckleduster and taser in an online “mystery box,” accepting a heavy fine and calling the episode a reckless mistake he vows not to repeat.

Guardiola fumes after controversial defeat to Newcastle dents City’s title push

Pep Guardiola
November 2025

City lost 2-1 at Newcastle, with Harvey Barnes scoring twice and Ruben Dias replying, in a result that could leave Guardiola’s side seven points behind leaders Arsenal and raise new doubts over their title defence after a poor night in both boxes. City felt aggrieved that a tackle on Phil Foden did not bring a first-half penalty and that Barnes’ second goal stood despite Donnarumma’s foul claims and a tight offside call on Bruno, with Guardiola seen arguing with Bruno and a cameraman before refusing to elaborate in post-match interviews.

Dyche hails “demanding” Forest after stunning 3-0 win at Anfield

Sean Dyche
November 2025

Forest beat Liverpool 3-0 away to climb to 16th, earning back-to-back league wins at Anfield for the first time since the early 1960s and becoming only the fourth Premier League side to win there by three or more goals. Goals from Murillo, Nicolas Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White capped a display built on defensive organisation and relentless work-rate, with Dyche stressing that Forest’s intensive training, blocks, and confidence in goalkeeper Matz Sels underpinned a performance where they accepted little possession but executed chances ruthlessly.

Amorim drives six-day training weeks to reset Manchester United standards

Ruben Amorim
November 2025

Amorim has United training six days a week, with only Mondays guaranteed off, using the lack of European fixtures to impose a demanding schedule aimed at raising standards after last season’s failures and rebuilding a culture of hard work and discipline. A typical week at Carrington now features high-intensity Tuesday sessions, long Wednesday tactical and physical blocks, lighter Thursday recovery, focused Friday game-prep, matchday Saturday and Sunday recovery, with Amorim favouring short video clips and on-pitch walkthroughs instead of long analysis meetings.

Bayern lose in-form Luis Diaz to three-game European ban

November 2025

Bayern winger Luis Diaz has been hit with a three-match Champions League suspension for serious foul play after his red-card tackle on Achraf Hakimi, ruling him out of the top-of-the-table showdown with Arsenal and two further European group games. Diaz scored twice before his dismissal in Bayern’s crucial win over PSG, but UEFA deemed his late challenge dangerously reckless as Hakimi suffered a severe ankle sprain. Vincent Kompany must now navigate decisive ties against Arsenal, Sporting CP and Union Saint-Gilloise without a key attacker.

Amorim tries to delay AFCON exits for Mbeumo, Amad and Mazraoui

Ruben Amorim
November 2025

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim plans talks with the federations of Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Morocco to delay AFCON call-ups for Mbeumo, Amad and Mazraoui so he can keep them deeper into December during a packed Premier League and FA Cup run. AFCON rules allow nations to demand players two weeks before their first group games, which could remove the trio around the Wolves match on 8 December, but United are pushing for release after Bournemouth on 15 December to limit the number of fixtures they miss.

Inter weigh January move for Aston Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez

November 2025

Inter Milan are reportedly exploring a January deal for Emiliano Martinez as they consider upgrading in goal, with Aston Villa believed to be open to selling the Argentine if a substantial offer arrives after a failed summer switch to Manchester United. With doubts over current No.1 Yann Sommer, Cristian Chivu’s side are assessing alternatives and see Martinez’s penalty record, big-game pedigree and leadership as attractive qualities for a team targeting both another Serie A title and a deeper Champions League run.
