Manchester United Eye Tonali as Casemiro Exit Nears and Price Tags Rise

Sandro Tonali
January 2026

Reports say Manchester United are lining up a summer move for Sandro Tonali as Casemiro nears the end of his deal, with Newcastle expected to demand around £100m and Juventus also interested. United are planning midfield reinforcements and Tonali is one of several targets, alongside Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton.

Erling Haaland criticised the late VAR decision that disallowed Rayan Cherki’s stoppage-time goal at Anfield and instead sent off Dominik Szoboszlai, arguing officials should have allowed the goal rather than issuing a three-match ban. With Liverpool pushing forward, Cherki released Haaland through on goal. Szoboszlai pulled Haaland back, Haaland then pulled Szoboszlai as the ball trickled in. VAR ruled the goal out for Haaland’s foul and dismissed Szoboszlai for denying a clear chance earlier in the move. Haaland said he felt bad for Szoboszlai and preferred the goal to stand.

The EFL rejected City’s push to change eligibility rules, meaning Guéhi remains ineligible for the Carabao Cup final despite joining City in January. EFL rules prevent a player from featuring for a second club in the competition if they join after the semi-final first leg. Guéhi signed after City’s first-leg win over Newcastle, so he could not play the second leg and cannot play the final. Semenyo remains eligible because he joined before the semi-final first leg.

Pep Guardiola
January 2026

Guardiola argued Tottenham’s first goal should not have stood after a contentious contact in the build-up/finish, as City blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2.
