Scholes names four Man Utd players at risk under Amorim
EPL: Scholes names four Man Utd players at risk under Amorim....Read Full Article>>
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has said four players in the current squad could struggle to feature in Ruben Amorim’s new system.
Amorim will take charge of his last Sporting game this weekend before taking up his new role at Old Trafford.
The 39-year-old has been appointed as Erik ten Hag’s replacement.
Throughout his managerial career, Amorim has played a specific 3-4-3 formation, which has brought him success.
He is expected to implement a similar tactical style with United, but the uniqueness of the wing-back position has raised questions about who may feature in that role.
Scholes told TNT Sports: “There are three or four players, especially forward players, who don’t want to do the ugly side of the game.
“He’s going to have to make them do that. We talk about the back three, we have six centre-halves they can choose from.
“He has got the two central midfielders in Casemiro and [Manuel] Ugarte. It’s the wingbacks that could be the problem. Does he want wingers who are going to run back?
“If he wants that, I’m not sure Rashford and Garnacho are right for that. Does he want two wing-backs in Dalot and Mazraoui who might be a little bit better defensively but not as good going forward?”
Former Chelsea defender William Gallas has cautioned manager Enzo Maresca that midfielder Enzo Fernandez may not be well-suited to the Premier League.....Read Full Article>>
Fernandez, who became the most expensive signing in British football history when he moved from Benfica to Chelsea for £105 million in January 2023, has struggled to meet expectations despite showing flashes of his potential.
The 23-year-old Argentina World Cup winner currently finds himself behind Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia in Maresca’s midfield preferences at Chelsea.
When asked about Fernandez’s suitability for the Premier League, Gallas told Prime Casino: “Enzo Fernandez is different. Even though he has good qualities, we all know the Premier League is very tough.
“It’s not for everyone, and that’s well-known. He needs to improve his fitness, run more, and be more consistent.
“The position he plays is particularly demanding. What’s expected of him? To provide assists, score goals, and play almost like a box-to-box midfielder.
“Can he do this? I’m not sure he’s suited to playing box-to-box. He either needs to start scoring goals or providing assists regularly.”
Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has opened up about his biggest fears for the club.....Read Full Article>>
Arsenal is currently struggling to find a balance, with injuries plaguing Mikel Arteta’s squad.
The club’s captain, Martin Odegaard has just returned to the Gunners’ starting XI after months on the sidelines.
He played the 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday while key players, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka were confirmed injured in the game.
Riccardo Calafiori remains absent as he looks to regain full fitness following a knee injury.
“We have problem after problem. My biggest fear is physically to get players at their best for 90 minutes,” Arteta told the press on Sunday.
“With that, I’m fully confident we will have a good season.”
The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) has suspended referee David Coote indefinitely, following a leaked video in which he made derogatory remarks about Liverpool and its former manager, Jurgen Klopp.....Read Full Article>>
PGMOL issued a statement on Monday evening confirming the suspension, stating: “David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation. No further comments will be made until the process is concluded.”
Coote, who served as the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) during Liverpool’s controversial 1-1 draw with Arsenal at Anfield in December 2023, is under scrutiny after the video surfaced. In that match, Martin Odegaard seemed to prevent Mohamed Salah from advancing into the Arsenal penalty area by handling the ball inside the box.
EPL: I love him – Amorim names Man Utd star he’s very happy to coach....Read Full Article>>
New Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has revealed that he is ‘very happy’ to coach Manuel Ugarte.
Amorim, who will take charge of Man United on Monday, will reunite with the Uruguay international at Old Trafford.
Both men worked together at Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon and won the Portuguese league title.
Speaking about Ugarte, Amorim described the midfielder as a ‘very talented boy’.
“All the Uruguayans I managed are incredible and that is why I love all Uruguayans,” Amorim told TNT Sports Mexico.
“Manuel Ugarte is a very talented boy and has a lot of room to grow. I am very happy to know that I have him back at Manchester United.”

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has said he is hopeful of having Kai Havertz and Mikel Merino available to face Chelsea in the Premier League this Sunday.....Read Full Article>>
Both players failed to complete 90 minutes against Inter Milan in the Champions League in midweek.
“[We have to] wait to see how they react. Kai’s was quite a nasty cut.
“Mikel wasn’t feeling great and we decided to substitute him at half-time,” Arteta told reporters on Friday.
Arsenal were boosted by the sight of Martin Odegaard making a return as a late substitute in the same match.
Odegaard had missed 12 games since he damaged ankle ligaments playing for Norway in September.
Arteta added: “Everybody that is in the squad will be fit and available to start the game.
“Then it is a decision to see if it is too early.”
Champions League: Just 30 more goals – Lewandowski tipped to surpass Messi’s record....Read Full Article>>
TNT Sports pundit, Rory Smith has tipped Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski to surpass the club’s legend Lionel Messi’s UEFA League all-time goalscorers list.
Lewandowski is third on the list of players with the most goals in the Champions League competition.
The Poland international recently took his Champions League tally to 99 goals.
He netted two goals in Barcelona’s 5-2 thumping of Crvena Zvezda on Wednesday.
His brace put him at 30 goals shy of Messi’s tally.
Messi is second on the Champions League all-time scorers list with 129 goals and his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo is top of the chart with 140 goals.
“It’s not impossible that he catches Messi. 30 more goals. Two more years. 15 a season,” Smith said (via EuroSport).
“He’s quite old, but he famously eats his pudding before his main course. He will be going!”
Europa League: Man Utd get double boost ahead of PAOK clash....Read Full Article>>
Manchester United has been handed a double injury boost ahead of their UEFA Europa League clash with PAOK on Thursday.
Man United’s interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy could be with the likes of Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen against the Greek champions.
Both players trained with the rest of the Manchester United squad during Wednesday’s open session at Carrington.
The duo have been recovering from injury, having missed some of the Red Devils’ matches.
Yoro suffered a foot injury in July but this is a positive sign and marks the next stage in his rehabilitation.
Eriksen, for his part, missed Van Nistelrooy’s two games in interim charge so far.
The Denmark international picked up a knock in the defeat to West Ham and was unavailable for the win over Leicester City and draw with Chelsea.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has reported the elimination of several terrorists during a coordinated air interdiction mission aimed at supporting power restoration efforts in Kaduna and other northwestern states.....Read Full Article>>
This information was disclosed in a statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Olusola Akinboyewa, on Monday in Abuja.
Akinboyewa stated that on November 1, the NAF executed a series of air interdiction operations targeting terrorist positions deep within the Alawa Forest in the Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State.
He emphasized that this mission is part of ongoing efforts to secure power infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted progress in restoring electricity to affected areas.
According to him, the airstrike was conducted following a series of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions that confirmed the presence of terrorist fighters converging to disrupt power restoration activities.
The air component, acting swiftly on the intelligence gathered, successfully planned and executed the airstrike to neutralise the threat.
“Overhead the target area, NAF crews observed and engaged the terrorists, neutralising several fighters and their logistics with precise firepower,” Akinboyewa reported.
In addition to these interdictions, the NAF has intensified armed reconnaissance along critical power lines from Shiroro Lake to Damba, maintaining airspace dominance to prevent any potential terrorist interference in the restoration efforts.
“This sustained mission underscores NAF’s commitment to collaborate with other security agencies in protecting vital infrastructure and ensuring the swift and full restoration of essential services for Kaduna and neighboring states,” he added. (NAN)
Flying Eagles head coach Aliyu Zubairu said his team is still not yet at the level he wanted, DAILY POST reports.....Read Full Article>>
Zubairu’s side successfully defended their crown at the WAFU B U-20 Championship in Lome, Togo, last month.
They defeated eternal rivals, Ghana 2-1 in the final.
The Flying Eagles also secured a place at the 2025 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
Despite their success in Lome, the gaffer said his team is still a work of progress.
“I’m somewhat dissatisfied with our defence; we were conceding goals consistently. This vulnerability cannot be overlooked on a larger stage,” he made this statement during a meeting with members of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria, SWAN, Kwara State Chapter, in Ilorin on Monday.
