    Greenwood’s Marseille form fuels La Liga push as Premier League return stays “off limits”

    Mason Greenwood
    December 2025

    Mason Greenwood is thriving in Ligue 1, leading the scoring charts with 10 league goals this season after a 21-goal debut campaign for Marseille, reigniting talk of a move to a bigger stage but not to the Premier League. Despite interest from Tottenham, West Ham and a reported €100m Saudi bid that would trigger a major sell-on payment to Manchester United, English clubs remain wary of fan backlash over his past, making La Liga or Saudi Arabia more realistic exit routes.

    Arsenal have confirmed centre back Mosquera will miss several weeks after landing awkwardly during the win over Brentford. The summer signing now joins fellow defenders William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes on the sidelines, stripping depth from an already stretched back line. Arteta admitted scans showed a worse problem than first expected and ruled the defender out for “weeks”. He has responded by shifting Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie into central roles and even using Christian Norgaard at centre back as Arsenal try to cope while protecting a narrow lead in the title race.

    Mourinho walked into his press conference carrying McTominay’s Napoli shirt, joking that after giving him his Manchester United debut and even benching Paul Pogba for him, the least the midfielder could do was hand over his jersey as a souvenir. He described a warm post match exchange with McTominay and used the Scot’s journey from overlooked academy player to Serie A star as an example for Benfica youngsters. Mourinho highlighted how trust, work rate and professionalism can outweigh transfer fees when a coach decides who to back.

    Courtois publicly defended Alonso after back to back home defeats, insisting the squad remains united behind the coach. He said the display against City showed players are still fighting to change a run that includes only two wins in eight matches. The goalkeeper framed criticism and tension at the Bernabeu as a natural reaction to poor results, but rejected talk of a fractured dressing room. He stressed that the group accepts responsibility for recent setbacks and will work collectively to reverse the current negative momentum.

    Harvey Elliott’s season-long loan at Aston Villa has stalled badly, with the midfielder limited to a single Premier League start and excluded from the last seven league matchday squads, putting pressure on Liverpool to consider recalling him before a purchase clause activates. A £35m mandatory buy clause kicks in at 10 appearances, but Emery’s selections and Villa’s strong form have squeezed Elliott out, prompting frank talks between coach, player and both clubs as they search for a solution that guarantees him regular minutes, at Villa Park or elsewhere.

    VAR reprieve and Haaland penalty fire Man City to statement win at the Bernabeu

    Manchester City overturned a 1-0 deficit to beat Real Madrid 2-1 away, with Nico O’Reilly’s close-range finish and an Erling Haaland penalty cancelling out Rodrygo’s opener and pushing City up to fourth in the Champions League league-phase standings. Madrid briefly thought they had an early penalty before VAR ruled Matheus Nunes’ foul outside the box, and after Rodrygo’s breakaway strike, City exploited Madrid’s defensive lapses, with Haaland punishing Antonio Rüdiger’s foul while the hosts were later denied by misses from Jude Bellingham and Endrick.

    Mohamed Salah
    December 2025

    Mohamed Salah has publicly aired frustration at being benched for three straight league games, accusing Liverpool of “throwing him under the bus” and fuelling speculation over a winter exit, just months after signing a new two-year deal at Anfield. After Salah’s explosive post-Leeds rant and ongoing omission from Arne Slot’s starting XI, Saudi Pro League CEO Omar Mugharbel openly welcomed him as a target, stressing that clubs handle negotiations while hinting strongly that the Egyptian could be lured to the Middle East soon.

    Fullkrug exit stalls as Wolfsburg wait on new sporting director sign off

    December 2025

    West Ham are ready to sell out of favour striker Niclas Fullkrug and have a broad agreement with Wolfsburg, but the move is on hold while the Bundesliga club complete their sporting department reshuffle and formally install Pirmin Schwegler as sporting director. Fullkrug has struggled with injuries and system fit since joining from Borussia Dortmund and is now surplus to requirements, with West Ham keen to recover funds and free wages. Wolfsburg see him as a key reinforcement, yet no major signings can be approved until Schwegler officially takes charge, leaving the deal in limbo and inviting rival interest.

    Salah v Carragher row deepens as Liverpool civil war splits fanbase

    Mohamed Salah
    December 2025

    Mohamed Salah’s claim that Liverpool have “thrown him under the bus” after three straight games on the bench has triggered a fierce backlash, with Jamie Carragher branding him a disgrace before later apologising, and supporters now deeply divided over whether the forward or the club is in the wrong. Salah argued that broken promises, a lost relationship with Slot and his track record justify a guaranteed starting role, but critics point to his poor season, his history of public contract pressure and Liverpool’s unbeaten run since he was dropped. Fans and pundits stress that no player is bigger than the club, while others defend his past contributions.

    December 2025

    Manchester United have reportedly made an offer to sign Sergio Ramos on a free transfer following his exit from Monterrey, with the 39 year old eyeing one last European chapter after seven goals in 32 games and a strong defensive stint in Mexico. Ramos has confirmed he is leaving Monterrey and is prioritising a European return, reviving a link with United that dates back to serious talks in 2015 and a failed proposal in 2023. United are early favourites, though negotiations are at an initial stage and no agreement on terms has been reached.
