Raheem Sterling is open to moves beyond London as he looks to leave Chelsea after being left out of domestic and Champions League squads and training away from the first team. West Ham and Fulham remain linked, but staying in the capital is not being treated as a hard requirement.

Jesse Lingard believes he could have restarted his Manchester United career if he had been trusted after his strong West Ham loan spell. Now a free agent again after leaving FC Seoul, he says the lack of consistent minutes at United forced his eventual exit.

He said players can sense when their time is up, even with multiple managers involved.

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.

United will wait until after facing Brighton before deciding if travel demands and logistics justify a first-team trip.
