Glenn Hoddle criticised Bukayo Saka’s leadership and “flat” demeanour after Arsenal surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with bottom-side Wolves, denting their title push. Saka admitted the dressing-room mood was “very flat” and called the second-half level below Arsenal’s standards. Arsenal controlled the first hour and held a two-goal cushion before conceding to Bueno and Edozie, dropping points from a winning position. The result boosts Manchester City’s chase, with City five points back and holding a game in hand.

Crystal Palace

Palace’s planned £50m move for Strand Larsen is reportedly close to collapsing, despite an agreed framework, with Palace signalling they could pull out.

Ruben Amorim’s refusal to start Kobbie Mainoo in the Premier League, despite the midfielder’s explosive 2024 breakout and England impact, has fuelled anger among Manchester United fans who see homegrown talent as core to the club’s identity and now question the manager’s direction. Mainoo has logged just 183 league minutes and mostly late cameos while Casemiro starts, with Amorim even sniggering when asked about him after the West Ham draw before defending his selection rights, a reaction branded disrespectful by many supporters and criticised by former players such as Paul Scholes.

Ruben Amorim says a blunt half time message, rather than tactical tweaks, sparked Manchester United’s 4-1 win at Wolves after Jean Ricner Bellegarde cancelled out Bruno Fernandes’ opener and briefly threatened another setback against the Premier League’s bottom club. Amorim told his players at the interval that domination meant nothing without ruthless finishing, urged them to cut out sloppy passing that was gifting Wolves belief and later played down the importance of climbing to sixth while focusing on improving performances and managing looming AFCON absences.

Mason Mount says he is finally ready to push on at Manchester United after scoring his third goal of the season in a 4-1 win at Wolves, matching his combined league tallies from the previous two injury disrupted campaigns at Old Trafford. The 25 year old midfielder, signed from Chelsea in 2023, has already featured in 12 of United’s 15 league matches, volleyed in a Bruno Fernandes cross at Molineux and insists staying fit, making forward runs and adding ruthless finishing are now his main priorities.
