September 2025

Matthijs de Ligt defended under-fire boss Ruben Amorim after United’s 3-1 loss to Brentford, insisting the players—not the system—must take responsibility. The Dutch defender stressed lapses in focus and poor decisions, not tactics, were to blame for costly goals conceded. De Ligt urged unity despite mounting frustration, admitting inconsistency has defined their season. He said United must analyse mistakes and stick together to recover momentum, warning the squad cannot hide behind tactical excuses while results continue to stall in the bottom half.

The Philadelphia 76ers signed Emoni Bates ahead of camp as cover for Jared McCain, sidelined with a thumb injury. The 21-year-old ex-high school phenom gets another NBA chance after struggling with Cleveland but showing flashes of promise in the G League. Bates was once hailed a future star, though inconsistent college years and legal troubles stalled his rise. His scoring touch shone in the G League, and Philly hopes he can add wing depth while McCain recovers, keeping their high-expectation season on track.

The Clippers released TyTy Washington before training camp, adding another setback in the former first-round pick’s stalled career. Despite excelling in the G League, Washington has struggled to establish himself in the NBA, averaging just 3.3 points in three seasons. Washington’s pro journey saw stops with Houston, Milwaukee, and Phoenix, but his inconsistency and poor shooting limited his NBA impact. Coaches praised his leadership and creativity in the G League, yet he now faces uncertainty about reviving his career at 23.

Micah Richards tore into Ruben Amorim’s chaotic tactical decisions in United’s 3-1 loss to Brentford. He criticised the constant reshuffling, with players switching roles mid-game, leaving some out of position and confused, undermining the Red Devils’ chances of a comeback. Richards blamed Amorim’s rigidity in sticking to his 3-4-2-1 system despite mounting failures. Bryan Mbeumo, shoehorned as wing-back late on, was caught out for Brentford’s decisive goal. United remain unable to win consecutive league matches, fuelling growing calls for Amorim’s replacement.

Al-Ittihad dismissed Laurent Blanc a day after losing 2-0 to Al-Nassr, their third defeat of the season.

Despite boasting Karim Benzema, Blanc lamented injury-hit backline options. The club confirmed his exit via social media, ending his brief Saudi tenure after just over a year in charge.

Sixers’ Grimes Holdout Drags Into Training Camp

Philadelphia 76ers
September 2025

The 76ers opened training camp without Quentin Grimes as his contract standoff continues. The guard has until October 1 to accept an $8.7m qualifying offer with no-trade clause, or hold out for a longer deal while his future remains unresolved. Embiid urged focus on “who’s here,” stressing it’s a business and players must prioritise families. He downplayed the distraction, recalling past holdouts by Simmons and Harden. Grimes, coming off a breakout season, remains central but negotiations risk disrupting preseason preparations.

Benfica Back Mourinho in Referee Row

Jose Mourinho (Benfica)
September 2025

Benfica released a statement accusing referees of double standards after two controversial calls in three days. They argued Antonio Silva was fouled before Gil Vicente’s goal, while a similar incident wrongly saw their own strike disallowed against Rio Ave earlier. The club demanded accountability from the Refereeing Council, calling recent officiating “systematically detrimental.” Their public defence of Mourinho, already under investigation for comments on referee Sergio Guelho, signals unified support as the Portuguese coach continues fighting perceived bias against Benfica.
