December 2025

Everton are reported to be considering January loan moves for Manchester United’s Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, but any deal is described as complex and expensive, with United undecided on exits. Moyes has played down expectations of heavy January business. Everton’s interest is framed as opportunistic loans rather than quick fixes, with injuries and AFCON absences squeezing depth. Reports claim Grealish’s loan has improved Everton’s pull for higher-profile targets and could be used as part of the pitch, while the club follows a multi-window strategy.

Grealish skipped Everton’s 0-0 draw at Burnley after a London night out with Walker that reportedly included Winter Wonderland, a Mayfair dinner and a late visit to a Leicester Square strip club, with the pair said to have spent around £20,000 in total. Moyes said a “bug” left Grealish feeling sick despite training on Tuesday and stressed he would not expand on the illness, while also citing concurrent absences for Dewsbury-Hall, Branthwaite, Ndiaye and Gueye, and expressing hope his City loanee returns to training later this week.

After Everton’s 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal, Grealish travelled to London to meet Walker at Winter Wonderland before a lavish night out that included dinner at Bagatelle and thousands of pounds spent on drinks, ending at Platinum Lace strip club. Grealish’s group reportedly ordered “hundreds” of Jagerbombs at £14 each and ran up a £3,500 club bill before leaving at 4am, then continued drinking back at their hotel. Both players had club-sanctioned time off, with sources insisting Grealish declined lap dances and focused only on late-night drinks.

United weigh Saudi Arabia friendly to fill mid-February gap

Manchester United
December 2025

Fixture rescheduling has opened a large gap in Manchester United’s calendar between league games against West Ham and Everton, reviving plans for a money-spinning friendly in Saudi Arabia. With no European commitments this season, the club see an overseas game as useful financially and for maintaining rhythm. Moving the Everton clash to February 23 leaves almost two weeks free, but final approval depends on FA Cup progress, as a fourth-round tie on February 14 would change the picture. United will wait until after facing Brighton before deciding if travel demands and logistics justify a first-team trip.

David Moyes said Dewsbury-Hall’s early withdrawal disrupted Everton for around fifteen minutes and admitted frustration at losing more players despite being relatively satisfied with their general play, stressing they must now manage Grealish carefully as medical staff assess both knocks in coming days.
