December 2025

Benjamin Sesko’s agent says the Manchester United striker feels very good and is impatient to return after a thigh injury that has sidelined him since November’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham, having scored twice in 12 games following his £74 million move from RB Leipzig. Representative Elvis Basanovic praised coach Ruben Amorim’s charisma and long term project, stressing that Sesko needs time on the pitch with Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to build attacking automatisms and believes patience will turn United into genuine Premier League title contenders.

Senne Lammens
December 2025

Senne Lammens says he is honoured that Manchester United fans are already comparing him to Peter Schmeichel, with Old Trafford chants asking if he is the club legend “in disguise” making the 23-year-old feel accepted after quickly displacing Altay Bayindir in goal. Signed from Royal Antwerp in the summer, Lammens has conceded 10 goals in eight outings but kept a debut clean sheet against Sunderland, taken over from Andre Onana and Bayindir, received pre match encouragement from Schmeichel and uses personal match journals to sharpen his mindset.

Florian Wirtz denied first Liverpool goal by dubious own goal call

December 2025

Liverpool needed a stroke of luck to avoid another damaging league result, drawing level when Florian Wirtz’s mis-hit shot deflected heavily off Nordi Mukiele and beat Robin Roefs, only for the Premier League’s goal accreditation panel to credit it as a Sunderland own goal. After Virgil van Dijk’s error and deflected concession left Liverpool chasing the game, Curtis Jones sparked a rare attacking surge and Wirtz slalomed through the box, but replays showed his effort was heading well wide, inviting more mockery of his output despite him being one of Liverpool’s few bright performers in a flat display.
