Axel Disasi, a defender for AS Monaco, is supposedly a player Man Utd is interested in signing in January. Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his defensive options, though the deal is not thought to impact Harry Maguire’s chances of leaving Old Trafford this month. Tottenham and West Ham are also chasing the French centre-back, but the Red Devils have conducted initial negotiations to land the 24-year-old ahead of their two rivals. The Daily Mail claim that the France World Cup defender is on United’s radar, though his possible addition would not directly see Maguire leave the club despite falling down the pecking order under Ten Hag.…

While Liverpool spends the most of their transfer cash in the summer, they have made some excellent additions in the January transfer window. The Reds have just made another mid-season signing after buying Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven in a deal worth an initial £37m. Admittedly, they haven’t always got it right in the January transfer window and the likes of Andy Carroll, Ozan Kabak and Steven Caulker failed to make the desired impact. But the success stories outweigh the misses and we’ve taken a look at nine of their best deals in the January transfer market. Luis Diaz Diaz was…

Declan Rice has previously stated why Arsenal may hold the upper hand in his prospective summer transfer. Declan Rice has already explained why Arsenal may have an advantage in the race to sign him this summer. The midfielder is being linked with a move away from West Ham United, as he has been for the last two summers. Chelsea and Manchester United have been the clubs to have been linked the most during that time, but it seems Arsenal may now be interested in a move ahead of this summer. According to Fichajes, the Gunners could turn to Rice as they look to sign a new holding midfielder, and the…

Since the beginning of last season, Virgil van Dijk has been almost invariably present for Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp’s injury places him in essentially new territory. The electronic sign above the door to Liverpool’s injury treatment room has just flashed and a little bell has gone off. Now serving, number 21. While that might imply that Kostas Tsimikas is suffering with a fitness issue, it is actually in reference to Virgil van Dijk. The number is not related to the shirt, but rather how many different players at the club have missed at least one match through injury in 2022/23. The 32 absences collectively…

Fabrizio Romano claimed on his YouTube channel that Chelsea is now thinking about replacing Enzo Fernandez with Moises Caicedo. Developments last night suggested the Blues are much further away from the signing of the Argentina international than reports made out. It had been claimed it was only the final details being discussed between Chelsea and Benfica before a deal to sign the 21-year-old was confirmed. The player was seemingly keen to make the switch too, even missing training on one occasion in an attempt to force the Portuguese side’s hand. However, Romano claimed himself last night that the Blues’ actual bid for…

One of the many teams interested in Jude Bellingham is Arsenal. According to The Athletic, the Borussia Dortmund and England sensation is “admired by Arsenal’s recruitment department” but who isn’t? The competition for his signature is fierce, with Premier League rivals Liverpool and European giants Real Madrid seemingly the front-runners. The Bundesliga outfit are thought to believe he is worth as much as €150m (£130m), so he isn’t going to come cheap either but if sporting director Edu Gaspar can do the unthinkable, then he could well stun the rest of Europe with this seismic raid. It goes without saying but Bellingham would be absolutely perfect for Mikel…

After Martin Dubravka left and returned to Newcastle earlier this month, Erik ten Hag is searching for a replacement. The Red Devils are keen to have three experienced shot-stoppers in their ranks, with David De Gea and Tom Heaton already there.

But after just two appearances he was recalled by Newcastle, with speculation suggesting he may now be primed to join Leicester. Man Utd have scheduled a medical for Jack…

Since joining Man Utd from Real Madrid in the summer, Casemiro has had a remarkable debut season. Casemiro has been outstanding this season. (Image: Visionhaus/Getty Images.)

Steven Gerrard recently discussed his iconic Liverpool jersey number and a legendary Liverpool jail.

However, he’d switch again in the summer of 2004, following the departure of Emile Heskey to Birmingham City, as he inherited the striker’s number eight jersey. While the number seven shirt remains the most iconic…

Manchester United is one of the world’s most powerful soccer teams. The Red Devils have a long history in soccer. However, over the last few years, everything at this club has been under par. Manchester United fans are tired of looking at how poorly the club is being run. ‘The Glazer family’ who owns Tampa Bay Buccaneers, also owns Manchester United. The Glazers took over the Red Devils in 2005. The Glazer Family has received criticism throughout the years for withdrawing excessive dividends from the club. In return, the owners do not even invest a sufficient sum of money for the…

Hollywood was in for some of the most startling controversies in 2022. Will Smith caused a stir at the Oscars. Ezra Miller, the star of the Justice League, earned headlines for engaging in aggressive and weird conduct. And let’s not forget Kanye West’s excruciating downward spiral toward infamy. But out of all these bewildering controversies, the Depp v. Heard trial perhaps became the most publicized spectacle of the year. The defamation lawsuit that became the highlight of thousands of media outlets across the world in April, saw Johnny Depp emerge victorious after an exasperating and tedious court battle against his…
