    Ruben Amorim’s refusal to start Kobbie Mainoo in the Premier League, despite the midfielder’s explosive 2024 breakout and England impact, has fuelled anger among Manchester United fans who see homegrown talent as core to the club’s identity and now question the manager’s direction.

    December 2025

    Reports in Spain claim Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is considering a staggering €10 billion offer to buy Barcelona, a figure that would wipe out the club’s huge debt burden and inject vast new capital, intensifying debate around state-backed football ownership.
