Amorim 'eager' to bring two new goalkeepers in at Man United next season

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly considered buying two new goalkeepers this summer, following underwhelming performances from Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir.

Headlines were made at the weekend when Amorim told Onana to stay at home in order to regroup mentally ahead of their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon on Thursday.

Onana was at fault for both Lyon goals in the 2-2 draw in the first leg, allowing Thiago Almada's cross to go through his hands for the opener, before palming a shot straight into the path of Rayan Cherki, who netted the late equaliser.

This came just a day after former Man United man and current Lyon midfielder Nemanja Matic called Onana one of the worst goalkeepers in the club's history.

Paul Pogba 'seeking' a move to a top-five European league this summer

Paul Pogba has reportedly expressed his desire to join a club in one of Europe's top-five leagues in the summer.

The 2018 World Cup winner has been a free agent since leaving Juventus in November, shortly before his 18-month ban for a doping offence was set to end.

Pogba has been free to train and play since the start of 2025, after having his initial four-year ban reduced on appeal, but he is yet to put pen to paper with a new club.

At 32, and having been out of the game for so long, there are some doubts about Pogba's physical state, but if he is on the market, he is undoubtedly going to be snapped up by a club over the summer.

Experienced Man United duo 'expected to leave' this summer

Manchester United are reportedly expected to part ways with two of their most experienced squad members at the end of the season.

With United enduring their worst-ever Premier League campaign, a comprehensive rebuild under Ruben Amorim is an inevitability ahead of the summer transfer window.

Red Devils officials will first need to determine what level of revenue is coming into the club, a Europa League trophy required to secure Champions League qualification for 2025-26.

Nevertheless, United will naturally look to free up spaces in their squad, ensuring that they continue to lower the wage bill when they need to strengthen their position with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules.

"Multiple players": Why Reds need multiple additions to replace Alexander-Arnold

© Imago

Liverpool will need to sign multiple players in the upcoming summer window to replicate the impact of Trent Alexander-Arnold on the team, Reds transfer expert David Lynch has claimed.

The Reds beat West Ham United 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday and moved to within two victories of securing the Premier League title, but perhaps news of Mohamed Salah signing a new contract at the club overshadowed the Merseysiders' win.

While captain Virgil van Dijk is also reportedly close to signing a new deal, reports have suggested that vice-captain Alexander Arnold is likely to leave, and his exit could significantly damage Liverpool's ability to create chances.

Lynch argued that Alexander-Arnold's impact with the ball can only be replicated through the addition of multiple players, telling Sports Mole: "You can't sign a right-back who can progress the ball in that way he can because he's the only one in world football [who can], which is why he's wanted by Real Madrid and why he's been so fantastic for Liverpool. That player doesn't exist.

Cunha still delivered his 14th Premier League goal of the campaign on Sunday afternoon as he came off the substitutes' bench to score in the 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Exclusive: Arsenal legend shoots down former teammate's striker suggestion

Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn cannot envisage his former side bringing in two strikers to aid their Premier League title charge for 2025-26, unlike a fellow Gunners great.

Mikel Arteta's team have held off on splashing the cash on a new centre-forward for a couple of years, but this summer should finally be the one where the Gunners welcome a new number nine to the club.

Winterburn's ex-Arsenal teammate Ray Parlour recently suggested that the North London giants could even try for two strikers this summer, while also name-checking Ipswich Town's Liam Delap as an option that the Gunners should pursue.

However, speaking exclusively to Sports Mole, Winterburn - a three-time English top-flight title winner - shot down the notion that Arsenal could bring in more than one centre-forward and also suggested that Delap may opt for a team where he is guaranteed weekly starts.

Real Madrid will reportedly step up their interest in Manchester City striker Erling Haaland if they decide to sell Saudi Pro League-linked Vinicius Junior.

Since joining Los Blancos in 2018, Vinicius has transformed into one of the best players in world football, and he has already won 14 trophies with the club, including three La Liga titles and two Champions Leagues.

Chelsea have announced that Ishe Samuels-Smith has been handed a new long-term contract.

Since the arrival of Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital as co-owners, the Blues have made a habit of handing lengthy deals to first-team stars.

Starlets from abroad have also seen Chelsea invest heavily in their futures, while the likes of Josh Acheampong and Tyrique George are recent academy graduates who are now viewed as first-team squad members.

While Samuels-Smith is yet to make that step, the Premier League outfit have announced the left-back has penned terms through to the end of 2030-31.

Zirkzee or Hojlund? Man United U-turn revealed as they 'decide to sell' striker

© Imago

Manchester United have reportedly made a decision over the futures of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee ahead of the summer transfer window.

Both strikers have failed to reach the heights expected since moving to Old Trafford, scoring just six goals between them in what has been a disastrous 2024-25 Premier League campaign.

Hojlund, who joined Man United from Atalanta BC for a reported £72m in the summer of 2023, has found the net just eight times in 43 appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions, scoring just once in his last 26 games over the last four months.

Meanwhile, Zirkzee completed a £42m transfer to Man United from Bologna last summer and has scored seven goals in 48 matches across all tournaments, including three strikes in 21 games since the turn of the year.

© Imago

Chelsea have reportedly added Brighton & Hove Albion attacker Georginio Rutter to their shortlist of summer transfer targets.

After a standout 2023-24 season with Leeds United, where he recorded seven goals and 15 assists in 48 Championship games, Rutter completed a club-record £40m move to Brighton last summer.

The soon-to-be 23-year-old, who penned a contract until 2028, has since featured regularly under Seagulls head coach Fabian Hurzeler this season, featuring in 32 matches across all competitions.

Rutter, a versatile forward who can operate as a number 10, out wide or as a central striker, has chipped in with eight goals and five assists this term, including a strike away against Chelsea in a 4-2 defeat in September last year.

Why Gibbs-White transfer would be "a very expensive gamble" for City after Wirtz blow

Manchester City expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany is "not optimistic" about the Citizens' chances of signing Florian Wirtz this summer, but Pep Guardiola's side will require a "serious signing" of his calibre to replace Kevin De Bruyne.

It was announced by De Bruyne earlier this month that the Belgian playmaker will be leaving Man City when his contract expires at the end of the season after 10 glittering years at the Etihad Stadium.

One name who has regularly been linked with a move to the Citizens is Bayer Leverkusen star Wirtz, who is widely regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in world football and at the age of just 21 has already recorded 56 goals and 63 assists in 192 games for the Bundesliga club.

Aston Villa 'making progress' in efforts to sign the 'next Odegaard'

Aston Villa have reportedly emerged as the new frontrunners to sign Rosenborg starlet Sverre Nypan.

Dubbed the 'next Martin Odegaard', the 18-year-old has been making an impact back in Norway since being handed his Eliterserien debut in 2022.

Despite his young age, a total of 14 goals and 11 assists have come from 62 appearances in the first team, including eight goals and seven assists in the most recent edition of Norway's top flight.

However, with a contract until the end of 2026, it is inevitable that a transfer to a bigger club will materialise over one of the upcoming transfer windows.

Leeds United have reportedly established when they intend to make a decision over the future of Manor Solomon.

Having suffered a serious knee injury during his early months at Tottenham Hotspur, the winger soon dropped down the pecking order under Ange Postecoglou.

As such, a loan switch to Championship giants Leeds United was facilitated last summer in an effort to get the 25-year-old's career back on track.

The arrangement has proven to be an overwhelming success, the Israel international contributing eight goals and nine assists from his 35 appearances in the Championship.
