    November 2025

    Amorim admitted United need additional wing-backs with Amad’s attacking punch, explaining that his 3-4-3 system requires profiles who can both run relentlessly and create, and that current options have struggled to impose themselves in the role consistently. Defending his use of Amad at right wing-back, Amorim highlighted the player’s speed on the ball, technical quality and flexibility to play between the lines, but accepted squad characteristics are not yet ideal and signalled that future recruitment will be aimed at perfecting his preferred structure.

    Blaise Matuidi has lavished praise on Vitinha after the midfielder’s first career hat trick in PSG’s 5-3 Champions League win against Tottenham, calling the Portuguese star exceptional and suggesting he is now perhaps the best midfielder in the world on current form. Vitinha scored in the 45th, 53rd and 76th minutes, including a late penalty, to cap a complete display of pressing, passing and intelligent movement.

    Estudiantes’ refusal to perform a guard of honour for Rosario Central exploded into a major disciplinary case as the AFA handed bans to all eleven starters and suspended club president Juan Sebastian Veron for six months after he admitted ordering the viral protest against Rosario’s controversial points based title recognition. The fallout followed AFA chief Tapia presenting Rosario with a physical trophy for having most points in 2025, a decision many clubs viewed as political and symbolic rather than a proper championship. Estudiantes players turned their backs during the planned tribute, prompting a fierce federation response that has deepened tensions around Tapia’s leadership and treatment of dissenting teams.

    Arne Slot’s position at Liverpool has come under fierce scrutiny after nine defeats in 12 matches, prompting prominent journalist Michael Reif to suggest that former boss Jurgen Klopp could realistically return if results do not improve and the Anfield hierarchy decide a change is unavoidable. Reif argues Klopp holds enormous emotional capital with supporters, describing Liverpool as “burned to the ground” and warning that Slot must stop the slide. With Klopp rested in his Red Bull role, Reif believes the club would be negligent not to explore a reunion.

    Leeds United’s alarming start under Daniel Farke has sparked speculation that the board could act if results worsen, with Ange Postecoglou unexpectedly emerging as a candidate to replace him and Brendan Rodgers also mentioned as an alternative option for the struggling club. Seven defeats in 12 have left Leeds 18th, with a brutal run against Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool looming and Farke’s Premier League record under intense scrutiny. Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy still appeals despite his brief Forest spell, while Rodgers’ name persists in boardroom discussions.

    Newcastle United
    November 2025

    Newcastle United have condemned the “unacceptable” treatment of their travelling support in Marseille, claiming fans were indiscriminately assaulted by police using pepper spray, batons and shields after the 2-1 Champions League defeat and confirming they will file formal complaints with UEFA, Marseille and French authorities. The club say supporters patiently waited up to an hour in the away sector under an agreed phased-exit plan before officers suddenly blocked movement, triggering distress and crushing in the concourse, despite fans being in “good spirits” and under observation from Newcastle stewards and staff.

    November 2025

    Arne Slot admitted he is “almost confused” by Liverpool’s disastrous Premier League run, with the defending champions losing six of their last seven league games and sitting in the bottom half despite heavy summer investment and three wins from four in a strong Champions League campaign. Pointing to big-money arrivals such as Isak, Wirtz, Ekitike, Kerkez and Frimpong, Slot insisted the squad has enough quality and noted recent European victories over Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt. However, he conceded that “far too many games” have been lost domestically and that he has yet to “find a winning way” in the league.

    Former Arsenal and Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri said Mason Greenwood “shouldn’t be judged” if his partner Harriet Robson has forgiven him, referencing the ex-Manchester United forward’s past rape and assault charges that were dropped in 2023 before his move to Marseille. Speaking on Canal+, Nasri argued public opinion should follow Robson’s forgiveness, a stance that has provoked debate given the graphic allegations that led United to move Greenwood on despite no conviction. Greenwood, now a key Marseille player, has previously admitted to “mistakes” while denying the criminal accusations.
