Dele Alli told his career now hinges on trials after dramatic fall

Dele Alli
December 2025

The former England and Tottenham star is a free agent and struggling to attract interest after an injury-ravaged spell at Everton, a failed loan at Besiktas, and a single, red-carded cameo for Como that ended with his deal being torn up. Ex-Spurs defender Stephen Carr says Alli is in “last chance saloon”, warning his lack of games has left his body unaccustomed to elite intensity, making injuries and rust likely and meaning he may now have to accept trial spells and prove he still has the hunger.

Amorim calls out anxious Dorgu and demands calm

Patrick Dorgu
November 2025

Ruben Amorim has publicly challenged Patrick Dorgu, saying the 21 year old looks more composed and decisive for Denmark than at Manchester United and admitting he feels “anxiety every time Patrick touches the ball” as the full back continues to struggle for rhythm in a new role. Signed mid season from Lecce and used as a wing back in a 3 4 3, Dorgu has been blamed for lapses in boxes, with Amorim citing a miss against Everton and insisting he must relax, cope with pressure and will get time to develop alongside Diogo Dalot in a still evolving system.

Manchester United slumped to a 1-0 defeat against 10-man Everton, ending a five game unbeaten run and dropping to 10th in the Premier League. Despite a man advantage for over seventy minutes, United created few clear chances and never truly stretched the visitors. Everton lost Idrissa Gueye to a needless early red card and Seamus Coleman to injury, yet still struck first through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and then defended deep. De Ligt criticised United’s passive play, overreliance on crosses, lack of runs into the box and shortage of urgency in key moments.

Despite Idrissa Gueye’s early red card for confronting team-mate Michael Keane, Everton dominated early, struck through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and then defended deep while United wasted 75 percent possession. Amorim said his players lacked intensity, vowed to keep working and insisted he is not walking away.

Fulham’s board is considering a managerial change following a flat start, away struggles, and stalled talks with Silva, whose deal expires next summer. A 2-0 loss at Everton intensified internal debate as results and recruitment tensions erode alignment. With a release clause in play and limited summer additions, patience is thinning.

Out-of-favor striker Joshua Zirkzee is being tracked by Everton and West Ham as he slips further down the pecking order at Manchester United following Benjamin Šeško’s arrival. Italian clubs AC Milan and Como are also interested.
United are open to letting Zirkzee leave in January, either permanently or on loan. With limited minutes under Ruben Amorim, the Dutchman is keen to revive his career, possibly by staying in the Premier League. Everton and West Ham could provide the opportunity.

Everton Furious Over Dewsbury-Hall Suspension

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton)
September 2025

Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall branded his one-match suspension “mind boggling” after receiving a fifth yellow card against West Ham. The midfielder’s ban, triggered by cumulative bookings, rules him out versus Crystal Palace. Manager David Moyes slammed the decision as “shabby” while criticising wider refereeing standards.
Dewsbury-Hall, signed for £28m from Chelsea, has been pivotal in Everton’s midfield since August. His suspension follows a controversial yellow against Liverpool, sparking team-mate Jack Grealish’s outrage. Moyes expressed frustration over inconsistent officiating, warning such calls damage fairness and momentum in the Premier League.

United Eye £65m Branthwaite to Fix Defensive Woes

Jarrad Branthwaite
September 2025

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.
