New information has emerged on Bruno Fernandes’ future at Manchester United, including a no-brainer decision and a ‘significant’ demand for a new contract. Fernandes’ future at Man Utd has been a constant topic throughout this season, with a move to the Saudi Pro League looking likely last summer before he ultimately decided to stay. At the time, there was a debate over whether selling Fernandes for £100m was a necessary sacrifice to fund Man Utd’s midfield rebuild, with this stance justified by mixed performances from a deeper position in Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation. And Fernandes recently added fuel to exit…

Ford’s bold Edsel flopped, then the Mustang soared; high-flying foul-ups often tell a more interesting tale Unsuccessful cars can sometimes be much more interesting than slam-dunk winners. Give me a Leyland P76 over, say, the Mk1 Volkswagen Golf, launched around the same time. It’s not just the vicarious interest of witnessing a metaphorical car crash that captivates me – it’s also the story behind it. No company sets out to make a turkey, but the way it was baked, nonetheless, is nearly always fascinating and often instructive. Also, I feel sorry for the people who find themselves in the middle…
According to reports, a deal for Liverpool star Andy Robertson to join Tottenham Hotspur is “not off” as this deal could be ‘triggered’ by a ‘domino’. Robertson’s proposed move to Spurs is one of this transfer window’s more surprising deals as he nears the end of his current Liverpool contract. The Scotland international was always likely to leave Liverpool at some point in 2026 as Arne Slot’s side have signed Milos Kerkez to be his long-term replacement. But it became clear last week that his exit could be brought forward due to interest from Spurs, who reportedly had a deal…

Jorgen Strand Larsen and his agent “like the idea of a move to Elland Road” as Leeds United continue to pursue a move for the Wolves striker, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic. The Yorkshire side have made a good fist of it in their first season back in the Premier League with Daniel Farke’s side 16th in the table after a 1-1 draw against Everton over the weekend. Their attacking output has been pretty good too with seven sides scoring fewer goals than Farke’s promoted outfit, whose top goalscorer is Dominic Calvert-Lewin. But Leeds are looking to bring…
