Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is holding post-game training sessions to sharpen his side’s attacking edge after Alexander Isak’s departure left a major void. Record signing Nick Woltemade has only scored once since joining. Following a 4-1 Carabao Cup win, Howe staged drills at St James’ Park with Woltemade, Trippier, Livramento, Barnes and Tonali to sharpen finishing. With Isak now at Liverpool, Newcastle need Woltemade to adapt quickly or risk enduring a prolonged scoring drought.

Amorim faces renewed pressure after United’s dismal form and early Carabao Cup exit. Critics call his squad a “Frankenstein team” lacking identity, while the Portuguese coach insists on his 3-4-3 despite poor results. Club legends are now being floated as emergency options. Despite finishing 15th last season and starting poorly again, Amorim has board backing for now. Yet Michael Carrick or Darren Fletcher could be drafted in if results worsen, showing the club’s readiness to lean on familiar faces to stabilise the crisis.

Sterling, earning a place among Chelsea’s unwanted, prioritized stability for his family over silverware abroad. Bayern’s approach highlighted Kompany’s desire to reunite with his ex-Manchester City teammate, but Sterling’s refusal leaves him sidelined with limited prospects until the winter transfer window.

Ben Foster claimed Ruben Amorim is “living on borrowed time” after United’s poor start, including an early Carabao Cup exit and unconvincing league form. Despite beating Chelsea, pressure mounts after last season’s 15th-place finish and Europa League heartbreak against Tottenham. Foster suggested Amorim may last only a couple more defeats, warning United lack cohesion. He mentioned Oliver Glasner as a candidate but doubted fans would accept his three-at-the-back system. Glasner’s Palace sit fifth despite losing stars, highlighting his managerial stock, but doubts remain.

Manchester United and Liverpool are monitoring Juventus defender Gleison Bremer, valued at €70–80m. Both clubs see him as a potential defensive anchor, but Juventus remain reluctant to sell given his importance and four-year contract, making any deal difficult without a “mind-blowing” offer. Bremer, 28, has regained top form after an ACL injury, cementing his place in Juve’s backline. While Chelsea and Bayern Munich also show interest, Juventus consider him untouchable unless extraordinary bids arrive, as they rebuild under pressure to retain their best defensive asset.
