Looking to end their midfield crisis once and for all, INEOS are reportedly putting Manchester United in a strong position to sign a Championship talent who could help to solve Erik ten Hag’s problems.
Man Utd transfer news
The Red Devils once again had their weaknesses exposed against Fenerbahce in mid-week as they stumbled to a 1-1 draw in the Europa League. Summing up their midfield depth, or lack thereof, it was right-back Noussair Mazraoui who found himself in the number 10 role whilst Christian Eriksen and Manuel Ugarte sat in the deeper role against Jose Mourinho’s side.
When Ugarte arrived in the summer, he was billed as the signing to fix Manchester United’s midfield problems, but it was never going to be as simple as that, making next summer even more important.
The Red Devils must get things right in 2025, which may well see them turn towards the Championship to finally solve the problem at the heart of their side. According to GiveMeSport, INEOS are now putting Manchester United in a strong position to sign Hayden Hackney ahead of Premier League sides like Newcastle United next summer.
Whilst Middlesbrough are far from keen to sell their star midfielder in January, Manchester United could test their resolve in the summer transfer window before perhaps even winning the race to secure his signature.

Still just 22 years old, Hackney could emerge to sit next to Ugarte and form the partnership that Ten Hag is so desperately lacking at Old Trafford. As he continues to prove himself in England’s second tier, a big move certainly seems on the horizon.
"Humble" Hackney could partner Ugarte
Although signing from the Championship may seem like a step down from targeting some of Europe’s best for Manchester United, it would actually signify a step in a smarter direction. The Premier League has seen the likes of Liverpool rebuild by signing from those in England’s second tier or in the bottom half of the top flight before then helping those players realise their incredibly high potential and reaping the rewards as a result.
Instead of splashing the cash on another defensive midfielder of Casemiro’s pedigree, United should take full advantage of Hackney’s recent rise and trust that he will develop into an ideal midfield partner for Ugarte for years to come.
Middlesbrough boss and former Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick was full of praise for Hackney back in March when he won the North East Football Writers’ Young Player of the Year award, telling Teesside Live: “It’s fabulous news and fully deserved for Hayden to get the reward.
“It’s a boost and a reward for the academy and the club as a whole really, to have a player of the calibre of Hayden come through the system after being here so long.
“It’s the ideal scenario and it’s not easy to get to that when so many players are in the system. You couldn’t ask for much more from Hayden. He’s grounded, he’s humble, he’s down to earth and loves to learn.
The PNG captain also called Kiplin Doriga’s lower-order rearguard ‘the blueprint of what we expect from him’

Papua New Guinea will understandably leave Muscat crestfallen, after bowing out winless from the T20 World Cup. After their 84-run loss to Bangladesh, their captain Assad Vala embodied their frustrations and spoke about where they will need to improve when they are back home.”I am proud that we are here but I wouldn’t say we achieved,” Vala said. “We wanted to win games here. Not to make up the numbers. Losing all three games is pretty disappointing. If we could play our best cricket, we would have given ourselves the chance. We were up and down. We have to find out how to get the best out of ourselves.”When asked what the team would leave the T20 World Cup with, Vala picked their fielding out as a positive but said there was a lot of room for improvement with bat and ball.Watch highlights on ESPN+
If you’re in the USA, watch the Bangladesh vs PNG highlights in English here and in Hindi here
“We need to be better,” he said. “Batsmen need to score consistently. Bowlers have to execute well under pressure. Fielding improved in the three games but we can be better there as well.”There’s a lot of learnings but we were not good enough. I think especially our batting really let us down. No one put their hands up, especially myself and the senior players.”On Thursday, PNG bowled contained Bangladesh to 113 for 4 over their first 15 overs, but leaked 68 runs in the last five. Then their chase of 182 fell apart from the start – they stumbled to 29 for 7 before being bowled out for 97.”We believed we could win if we had a good start. It has been costing us,” Vala said. “We have been losing too many wickets in the powerplay. It is hard to come back from it.”I think we haven’t played a complete match. We started well in this match, but we went for 63 in the last five overs. Our bowlers couldn’t perform under pressure.”Kiplin Doriga’s unbeaten 46 got PNG up to their eventual total of 97, and ensured they batted on until midway through the final over. “I think he played really well,” Vala said. “He pulled us out and got us to 97 runs.”He has been really good in the last two games. We need him to keep working hard and be more consistent. It is the blueprint of what we expect from him.”Vala said the legacy of this side, the first from PNG to play in a World Cup, would be the influx of more children into the game.”There are a lot of kids playing these days. If we can have more juniors coming through the system, we will have more depth. I am really proud of the effort of the boys, but the best is yet to come. We have learned a lot from this tournament.”
يواصل الزمالك استعداداته لمواجهة غريمه التقليدي الأهلي في قمة بطولة الدوري المصري الممتاز، والمقرر إقامتها مساء غدًا الثلاثاء، على استاد القاهرة الدولي.
وعلم بطولات من مصدر داخل الزمالك في وقت سابق، أن البرتغالي جوزيه بيسيرو، المدير الفني للفريق، قرر استبعاد مصطفى شلبي من قائمة مباراة القمة كإجراء تأديبي، وذلك بسبب اعتراضه على استبداله في لقاء مودرن سبورت الأخير ببطولة كأس مصر.
من جانبه، قدم مصطفى شلبي اعتذارًا عبر حسابه الشخصي على “إنستجرام”، حيث كتب: “مبدئيًا.. أعتذر عن رد الفعل الذي حدث في مباراة فيوتشر، وأنا متقبل وأحترم أي قرار ضدي”.
وأضاف: “ثانيًا، اسم نادي الزمالك إضافة لأي شخص ينتمي إليه، وكل الناس تعلم أنني شخص لا أفتعل المشاكل، وما حدث كان نتيجة لحظة عصبية”.

ويخوض الأهلي اللقاء وهو في المركز الثاني بجدول ترتيب الدوري برصيد 39 نقطة، بعدما حقق 11 انتصارًا وتعادل في 6 مباريات دون تلقي أي هزيمة، بينما يحتل الزمالك المركز الثالث برصيد 32 نقطة، جمعها من 9 انتصارات و5 تعادلات، وتلقى 3 هزائم.
وكانت مواجهة الدور الأول بين الفريقين قد انتهت بالتعادل الإيجابي (1-1)، مما يزيد من أهمية المباراة المقبلة في سباق المنافسة على لقب الدوري.
Diogo Jota picked up a new injury for Liverpool in the win over Chelsea, but the Portuguese star isn’t the only concern, according to a fresh update from journalist James Pearce.
Jota injured in Liverpool win
The Reds knew that only a win over Chelsea on Sunday would see them return to the top of the Premier League table, and they edged out their opponents in a frenetic clash at Anfield.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones sealed a 2-1 victory for Arne Slot’s side, who have now won eight of their nine league games this season. Their only slip-up came at home to Nottingham Forest last month, as belief grows that a title challenge is on the cards in 2024/25.
The one negative to emerge for Liverpool against Chelsea was a first-half injury to Jota, however, with the Portuguese forced to leave the field with what appeared to be rib damage, being replaced by Darwin Nunez.
Given the striker’s injury-prone nature, it was concerning to see him head down the tunnel, and Reds supporters will be praying that one of their most influential attacking players isn’t missing for a significant period of time, especially with Alisson already a high-profile absentee.
"Really special" Liverpool ace could miss Leipzig
According to a new update from Pearce on X, Conor Bradley missed Liverpool’s win over Chelsea with a new injury picked up with Northern Ireland, suggesting he could also be out for the Leipzig game, given the quickfire turnaround in fixtures.
While Bradley isn’t as influential as Jota, or other injury victims like Alisson and Harvey Elliott for that matter, it is still worrying that he is carrying an issue, ahead of a relentless run of fixtures for Liverpool, with midweek games constant in the coming weeks.
Conor Bradley for Northern Ireland
The Northern Irishman is such a great understudy to Trent Alexander-Arnold, bursting onto the scene last season and genuinely feeling like a great squad player, with his international manager, Michael O’Neill, saying of him earlier this year: “We’ve got a really special young player who can only continue that way.
“His attitude to the game is maybe his biggest attribute, he just loves to play. He trains that like that, he always trains at his maximum and I think at times the other younger players feed off that.”
Admittedly, Joe Gomez is also a good option at right-back, with the Englishman coming on and doing a solid job in the latter stages against Chelsea on Sunday, but he doesn’t possess the attack-minded brilliance of Bradley, who outlined his class last season with a superb strike against the Blues.

Liverpool just about did enough to beat Chelsea 2-1 back in Premier League action.

Not only that, but Alexander-Arnold will need a rest at some point, rather than being overplayed and risking picking up an injury as the season goes on, so the hope is that the £10,000-a-week Bradley’s injury is only minor, meaning he will be available this week.
Os bastidores eleitorais do Corinthiansjá estão pegando fogo. O pleito ainda não tem data marcada, mas deve acontecer entre meados de outubro e novembro. Atual presidente, Duílio Monteiro Alves acompanha a situação de longe e não quer se envolver no assunto, pelo menos por enquanto.
O mandatário corintiano faz parte do grupo ‘Renovação e Transparência’, que comanda o Timão desde 2008. O coletivo, no entanto, está rachado, pois diverge sobre quem lançar como candidato à presidência corintiana no fim do ano. André Luiz de Oliveira, popularmente conhecido como André Negão, é o nome mais forte da chapa no momento, mas enfrenta rejeição dentro do próprio conjunto.

Por questões políticas e divergências extracampo, algumas pessoas influentes no grupo torcem o nariz para a candidatura do atual presidente da comissão de ética e disciplina do Conselho Deliberativo. Alguns ameaçam até mesmo lançar uma terceira via, caso André seja confirmado como candidato da situação. Há quem abrace o nome de Ronaldo Giovanelli ao cargo máximo do clube alvinegro. O ex-goleiro corintiano, que atualmente exerce a função de comentarista esportivo, publicou na noite da última quarta-feira (1º) uma foto se intitulando candidato à presidência do Timão, porém excluiu a postagem horas depois.
Segundo informações obtidas pela reportagem, a postagem foi uma forma de engajar a nação corintiana e sentir se o nome de Ronaldo teria mais aprovação ou rejeição. O fato de Giovanelli ser um ex-atleta com identificação no clube anima algumas pessoas no Corinthians, mas a maioria acredita que o ídolo não terá espaço o suficiente para oficializar uma possível candidatura.
O nome de Andrés Sanchez segue tendo muita força nos bastidores corintianos, mas o ex-presidente, que dirigiu o clube entre 2007 e 2011 e, mais recentemente, entre 2018 e 2020, descarta totalmente a possibilidade de lançar o seu nome novamente ao cargo máximo no Coringão. Ele, inclusive, é um dos trunfos para que André Negão seja o candidato da situação. Os dois são muito próximos, e Andrés é apoiador da candidatura de Negão.

Outra possibilidade ventilada até com certa força no Parque São Jorge é a de reeleição de Duílio Monteiro Alves. O movimento é vetado pelo estatuto corintiano, mas um grupo aliado ao atual presidente do Timão está disposto a solicitar ao Conselho Deliberativo uma revisão estatutária que permita que o atual mandatário brigue por mais três anos à frente do Corinthians. Duílio, por sua vez, não tem se envolvido nessa situação, mas também não descarta a possibilidade, caso haja a reforma no regimento interno. Essa ação, por sua vez, é vista como pouco provável de acontecer.
Nomes como os de Herói Vicente, Diretor de Assuntos Jurídicos, e Osvaldo Neto, Diretor do Futebol de Base, correm por fora.
De certo na eleição corintiana até o momento é somente a candidatura de Augusto Melo, que marcou o anúncio da sua candidatura para o dia 11 de março. Ele será o principal e, possivelmente, o único nome de oposição no pleito, já que é esperada uma união entre figuras contrárias à chapa ‘Renovação e Transparência’ apoiando Melo que, em 2020, ficou em segundo lugar na disputa presidencial, obtendo 939 votos – 142 a menos que Duílio, que saiu vencedor.
The Ireland coach says he has had ‘a few good chats’ with IPL coaches to understand the conditions better

Graham Ford has been speaking to coaches involved in the IPL to get a better idea about conditions in Sharjah, ahead of his Ireland side’s winner-takes-all fixture against Namibia in the T20 World Cup.Sharjah played host to a series of high-scoring games during the 2020 IPL, but the pitches were re-laid earlier this year and were generally slow and low after the resumption of the 2021 season, with average scoring rates down to 7.00 runs per over from 8.87 the year before.Related

Conditions were particularly difficult during the three matches played during the day in IPL 2021, with several players struggling to cope with the combination of heat and humidity: when Friday afternoon’s game starts at 2 pm local time, forecasts suggest the temperature of 35 degrees celsius will ‘feel like’ 41 degrees. Ireland have been in the UAE for several weeks now, but the heat remains a significant challenge in contrast to the weather their players are used to at home.”I’ve had a few good chats with some of the IPL coaches, but we’ll keep that to ourselves for now,” Ford said after Ireland’s heavy defeat to Sri Lanka, which leaves them needing a result in Friday’s fixture if they are to progress to the Super 12s. “Win or lose, we are gaining and we are learning, but quite obviously we’re desperate to go through to the next phase of the tournament.”You’re always greedy as a coach: you want to win everything and you want to have a nice easy last fixture and say ‘we’re already through’. But realistically, we’d have taken it. We’re still alive, we’re still in the competition, and that’s the most important thing.”Ireland played the evening game in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday night and will be unable to train as a whole squad ahead of Friday’s fixture due to the time it will take to travel to Sharjah and the need for their bowlers in particular to recover. They have been frustrated by their schedule in the tournament, not least with the other first-round group staged in its entirety in the same venue, and Ford admitted it was “very difficult” to make improvements between games when playing three fixtures in the space of five days.”There’s no doubt it’s very difficult because of the distances that you have to travel to get to training venues,” he said. “Making improvements in terms of actually just getting in the nets and training is quite difficult [but] we can get to the ground a little bit earlier on matchdays and a couple of guys can sharpen their skills that way.”A lot of the work needed to be done in the preparation phase, which we had a pretty good block through that period, and now it’s not so much getting in the nets and trying to work on anything – it’s more about what have we learnt from the matches that we’ve played and how can we improve tactically and just really try to look sharper and see where we can improve in the game situation.”Ireland arrived at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in time to see the final stages of Namibia’s win against the Netherlands on Wednesday but are well aware of their ability as a side. They squeezed past them in the third-place play-off of the qualifying tournament in 2019, defending 135 in a low-scoring game, and the sides have played each other in a number of qualifiers over the last 15 years.”We had a long bus journey then caught the end of the game and they did hit the ball extremely well at the end,” Ford said. “We know that they’ve got some very dangerous players and David Wiese, who put on a show – we caught the end of that show. He’s played for South Africa in the T20 World Cup before and I’ve seen him in South Africa and on the county circuit. He can be absolutely devastating, which he was today.”They’ve got some dangerous players. They’ve got some very hard-working cricketers. Quite a few of them have learnt quite a lot of their cricket in South Africa and they pushed us close in the last game of the qualifiers. We know that they’re going to be tough – if we’re slightly off our best, we will struggle.”

They say that standings are meaningless before the Christmas period in football, and there’s more than just a grain of truth in that.
Nonetheless, Liverpool will be delighted with their progress under Arne Slot this season, having defied expectations to win 12 of their first 14 matches across all competitions, first in both the Premier League and newly-formatted Champions League group stage.
Things couldn’t be going better. However, despite the cast-iron defensive resolve, the free-scoring attacking exploits and the slick and stylish football on show, the midfield at times lacks physicality and command.
Is that nitpicking? Perhaps, but even though Ryan Gravenberch has raised his game by several flights, bringing in a bit of competition wouldn’t be amiss.
Liverpool transfer news
The next transfer window is drawing closer, and that means the habitual Aurelien Tchouameni to Liverpool rumours are starting back up.
According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the Real Madrid superstar’s representatives have engaged in talks with the Anfield side, who are trying to ascertain whether a move could be on the cards, with Los Blancos no longer viewing him as ‘untouchable’.
A separate report – from Spain – has suggested that Carlo Ancelotti’s side would consider offers that fall into the ballpark of €80m (£67m), which means they would take a loss on the £85m sum paid to AS Monaco for his signature in 2022, winning such a race against… Liverpool.
How Aurelien Tchouameni compares to Gravenberch
This would be a stunning capture for FSG, who have previously held a vested interest in Tchouameni and could now pounce, for Real Madrid are bloated with high-class quality and might need to make some sacrifices.
France international Aurelien Tchouameni.
The France international is no doubt among the pantheon of contemporary midfielders, hailed for his “world-class” performances by Transfermarkt’s Stefan Bienkowski.
His efforts across Real’s highly successful 2023/24 campaign were marred by injury, and though he’s returned with vigour this term, the balance is all wrong at the Spanish club right now and they are toiling.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
Even so, Tchouameni’s muscular profile and first-class technical game mark him as a cut above the lion’s share of his peers, and he really could be the one to make the number six position his own at Liverpool over the coming years, jockeying for position with Gravenberch.

As you can see from above, the two midfielders have been pretty neck-and-neck in their respective divisions this season, albeit with Gravenberch a bit more crisp in the duel and Tchouameni more crunching in the tackle and precise with the pass.
Tchouameni, 24, ranks among the top 3% of midfielders across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year for pass completion and the top 10% for interceptions and aerial duels won per 90, as per FBref, emphasising his natural defensive quality and that passing prowess too.
Ryan Gravenberch for Liverpool
Gravenberch has been a revelation for Liverpool this term but he’s not the tough-tackling profile of a traditional defensive midfielder. Bringing in Tchouameni – who has already proven himself at the elite level in Madrid – would certainly add a dimension in that regard while strengthening the depth and dynamism of Slot’s high-flying outfit.
Who knows, perhaps the two stars would learn to coexist in the midfield, dominating English football for years to come.

Former captain also says coach Russell Domingo “should be held accountable” for the team’s elimination in the Super 12s
ESPNcricinfo staff04-Nov-2021
“Look at India. The BCCI is quiet despite so much happening.” – Mashrafe Mortaza•AFP
The Bangladesh players’ inability to handle the BCB’s criticism was a factor in their T20 World Cup blowout. That’s the view of former captain Mashrafe Mortaza, who said that the board could have shown more patience with the team they believed was the best combination to go to the world event.BCB president Nazmul Hassan, in his characteristic no-holds-barred style, blamed Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah for the Scotland defeat, in a press conference on October 18. Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur shot back in the post-game press conferences in the subsequent days, although Shakib said that he agreed with Hassan’s broadside.But it set forth a chaotic World Cup campaign for Bangladesh from which the focus kept deviating to what was being said off the field, rather than the cricket being played on it.Related

“The players succumbed to the pressure that came from the board’s criticism,” Mashrafe told . “Cricketers try to find solace in the cricket board during bad times. BCB should have been more patient. If a player doesn’t do well, you can drop him after the tournament but as long as they are in the tournament, it is better not to talk about them.”The cricket board sent this team to the World Cup. You can’t change the squad if someone does badly. You have to show patience. If you don’t have that patience, you should have realised much before if this is your best team or not. When the coach, captain, selectors and board have all agreed this is the best team, you have to be patient with the team.”Bangladesh were eliminated from the T20 World Cup with one Super 12s match, against Australia, to go•Getty Images
Mashrafe said that BCCI were an example in restraint when India lost the first two matches against Pakistan and New Zealand. “Regardless of what’s being said, players and board should be united. Look at India. The BCCI is quiet despite so much happening.”Nobody from their board says anything about the team’s poor performance, despite what is being said in the mainstream media and social media. This is because they know what to do next,” he said.Mashrafe admitted that the players, too, should have kept quiet when they were not performing well. “When players aren’t doing well, nobody will receive their words kindly. All they can do is play better in the next match.”Players don’t really need to say much. They have to play well to get out of their bad times, which is why there should be coordination between cricket board and players,” he said.Mashrafe however said that coach Russell Domingo should be answerable for the team’s performance. Mashrafe has been highly critical of Domingo on Facebook, terming the Bangladesh team management as a “rehab centre” for South African coaches.”The coach has to take responsibility. I don’t think he had a particular plan for the World Cup. My question is: why does the new coach always experiment with our team? Why does the cricket board agree to it?”I think the coach should be held accountable, even when he is given the freedom to do his work. When there’s no accountability, when their salary is guaranteed for the next six months, the coaches don’t care about anything. I think we have to think about the coach now,” he said.
