    Olympic legend Usain Bolt blasted Manchester United’s 3-1 defeat at Brentford, describing their display as a “joke.” The lifelong Red Devils fan vented online, struggling to identify “one good thing” as Amorim’s side slipped to yet another damaging Premier League loss. United fell 2-0 down early to Igor Thiago’s brace, briefly rallied through Benjamin Sesko’s first club goal, but Mathias Jensen’s late strike sealed their misery. Bolt’s anger reflected fan discontent at United’s inconsistency and ongoing struggles under Amorim’s stubborn 3-4-3 system.

    Werder Bremen coach Horst Steffen claimed Bayern benefited from “fortunate” referee calls in their 4-0 Bundesliga win. He pointed to Michael Olise’s foul before a corner for Jonathan Tah’s opener and Harry Kane’s penalty, both of which swung momentum early. Steffen argued Kane went down “cleverly” and Olise’s push was a “definite foul,” frustrations echoed by captain Marco Friedl. While admitting Bayern dominated overall, they accused referees of bias. German media noted the incident fuelled perceptions of preferential treatment for Bayern.

    Gareth Southgate is reportedly on a three-man shortlist to replace Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. United minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has held fresh talks with the former England boss as Amorim flounders with just two wins in seven games this season. Southgate, out of work since Euro 2024, joins Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola as candidates. United’s poor start, capped by defeats to Arsenal, City, and Brentford, plus a Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby, has piled pressure on Amorim.

    Former referee Mark Halsey branded “absolute nonsense” the decision not to send off Brentford’s Nathan Collins for hauling down Bryan Mbeumo in the box. VAR backed Craig Pawson’s yellow card call, ruling Mbeumo lacked control, before Bruno Fernandes missed the penalty. Halsey argued the laws require assessing the likelihood of maintaining control, not existing control, insisting it was a clear denial of a goalscoring chance. He said Manchester United were rightly furious and claimed a red card “should absolutely have been shown.”

    Chelsea’s owners, including Behdad Eghbali, entered the dressing room after a 3-1 collapse to Brighton, sparking speculation. The Blues had led through Enzo Fernández before Danny Welbeck’s brace and Maxim De Cuyper’s late strike turned the game upside down. Maresca dismissed concerns, saying the owners regularly visit post-match and did not address players. Despite his calm, the defeat piled pressure on Chelsea, who once again squandered control and collapsed defensively, leaving questions about resilience and tactical cohesion.

    Manchester United are weighing a £65m move for Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite as they seek stability at the back. With Harry Maguire’s contract expiring and United conceding 11 goals in six games, Branthwaite has emerged as their top defensive target. Branthwaite’s mix of physicality and ball-playing ability has made him one of the Premier League’s brightest centre-backs. United face stiff competition from Liverpool, who view him as Van Dijk’s successor, but their desperation for defensive reinforcements could push them into January action.

    Erling Haaland bagged two goals and an assist in City’s 5-1 win over Burnley, surpassing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the Premier League’s highest-scoring Norwegian. The brace lifted his City tally to 133 goals and 92 in the league, achieved at blistering pace. Haaland has now scored 52 Premier League goals at the Etihad, overtaking Raheem Sterling’s home tally in half the games. Only Sergio Agüero sits above him in City’s home scoring charts, further highlighting the 25-year-old’s record-breaking trajectory in English football.

    Liverpool’s unbeaten run ended in a 2-1 loss at Selhurst Park, undone by a late Eddie Nketiah strike. Federico Chiesa had levelled after Ismaila Sarr’s opener, but sloppy defending at a long throw cost Slot’s side their perfect start. Slot criticised summer signing Jeremie Frimpong for abandoning his marker in the dying moments, calling it “unnecessary” with time almost up. He admitted Palace deserved to win, praising their intensity, while lamenting Liverpool’s wastefulness and repeated vulnerability from set pieces.

    Inter Miami surrendered a first-half lead in a 1-1 draw at Toronto, denting their Supporters’ Shield chase. Tadeo Allende’s stoppage-time header opened the scoring, but Djordje Mihailovic equalised after the break. Messi twice tested Sean Johnson but couldn’t find the winner. Mascherano’s side looked leggy and lost control after halftime, allowing Toronto back into the match. Despite Messi’s constant threat, Miami failed to convert late chances and had to settle for one point, underlining concerns about their fading intensity in tight games.

    Manchester United’s misery deepened with a 3-1 defeat at Brentford, leaving Amorim with just nine wins in 33 league games. Igor Thiago struck twice early, Benjamin Sesko grabbed his first United goal, but Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty before Mathias Jensen sealed it. Amorim insisted he feels no pressure despite fan frustration at his rigid 3-4-3 system and ongoing inconsistency. He admitted United must “play better” and urged his side to build momentum, though defensive lapses and poor finishing again cost them crucial points.
