دعا النجم الإنجليزي السابق، واين روني، المدير الفني لفريق ليفربول، آرني سلوت، إلى استبعاد أحد لاعبيه بعد خسارة الأمس أمام مانشستر يونايتد، في بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.
واستضاف ملعب “الأنفيلد” مباراة فريقي ليفربول ومانشستر يونايتد في الجولة الثامنة من الدوري الإنجليزي، موسم 2025/26.
وتعرض ليفربول للهزيمة على يد مانشستر يونايتد بهدفين لهدف، في قمة منافسات الجولة المذكورة، مما جعله يتراجع إلى المركز الرابع في جدول الدوري.

وتُعد تلك الهزيمة هي الرابعة على التوالي لـ ليفربول، بعدما سبق وأن خسر أمام كل من كريستال بالاس، جالطة سراي وتشيلسي.
وقال روني في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “sportbible” الإنجليزية: “بالنسبة لي لن أُشرك إيزاك، هو لم يبدو جاهزًا منذ قدومه من نيوكاسل يونايتد في الصيف”.
وأضاف: “هو لم يتدرب ولم يخض فترة تحضيرية للموسم، هذا أمر مهم للغاية، أثناء تدريبات نيوكاسل، كان من المحتمل أن يكون في المنزل يتحدث عبر الهاتف مع وكيله لمدة ست ساعات يوميًا في محاولة للرحيل”.
وواصل: “الأمر صعب للغاية عندما لا يكون هناك موسم تحضيري، ربما يكون قد أنجز بعض الأمور بمفرده، لكنه يدفع ثمن ذلك، بالنسبة للأداء، فهو لا يستحق أن يلعب أساسيًا على إيكتيكي”.
Bumrah is understood to be close to taking the final round of fitness tests at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru
Nagraj Gollapudi04-Apr-2025Jasprit Bumrah will not only miss Friday’s IPL 2025 game for Mumbai Indians (MI) against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) but is also doubtful for MI’s next game, at home against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on April 7.However, ESPNcricinfo has learned that Bumrah, who has been in rehab since January following a stress-related discomfort in his lower back, is getting closer to returning to action. He has been building his bowling workload in recent weeks at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru and is understood to be close to taking the final round of fitness tests. Only after he gets the all-clear from the BCCI medical team can Bumrah link up with MI and play in the IPL.Bumrah, it is understood, has been cautious himself and wants to ensure he is totally fit before returning to action. This is keeping in mind India’s five-Test series in England, starting on June 28.Related

MI have so far played three games in IPL 2025, winning one and losing two, and have handed debuts to the likes of Satyanarayana Raju, Vignesh Puthur and Ashwani Kumar in Bumrah’s absence, with Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar leading the attack and Hardik Pandya the other seam-bowling option in the line-up.The last update on Bumrah had come on March 19, when MI head coach Mahela Jayawardene had spoken about the “challenge” of being without Bumrah at the start of the season. At the time, it was understood that Bumrah would miss MI’s matches in March but join the squad in April. That has been delayed.Bumrah has played all his IPL cricket for MI, starting in 2013 and picking up 165 wickets in 133 matches over the years.

He travelled to Bengaluru for fresh scans in early February, but continued to feel discomfort and was not named in the final squad.
An Arsenal target now has his heart set on joining Manchester United, due to his deep respect for former manager Sir Alex Ferguson and the club’s traditions.
Man Utd's standards have slipped since Ferguson's retirement
Man United are well-known for their rich history and traditions, which included wearing suits when arriving ahead of matches, but Wayne Rooney has revealed that standards started to slip after Ferguson’s retirement back in 2013.
Rooney said: “I remember we went to the League Cup final and players were wearing the suits with big, bright yellow trainers and stuff like that.
“I remember we went to the League Cup final and players were wearing the suits with big, bright yellow trainers and stuff like that. I went to Mourinho and said, ‘Listen, I’ve spoken to the players and you need to have a word here and to keep the standards. We can’t have that going to Wembley into a cup final.’
“He’s like, ‘Yeah, yeah, I’ll speak to them’. And then as we came down to leave, I’ve seen Jose there and he’s got a zip-up top with no tie on. I was thinking, “What’s the point?”
With Rooney going on to reveal that players are allowed to wear whatever they want nowadays, one of United’s traditions has arguably been eroded, but that hasn’t stopped an up-and-coming star setting his sights on a move to Old Trafford.
According to a report from Caught Offside, Arsenal target Kirill Glebov, who currently plays for CSKA Moscow, has his heart set on joining Man Utd and dreams of a transfer, citing the Old Trafford atmosphere, the club’s traditions, and his deep respect for Ferguson as the key reasons.
Glebov is currently valued at just €1.5m (£1.3m), but the winger’s price tag could rise considerably if he continues his current form, having started the season very well, which has attracted the attention of the likes of Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Brighton.
Glebov could be future star for Man Utd
At this stage, United don’t appear to have a great deal of interest in the Russian, but there are indications he has plenty of potential, having made a flying start to the 2025-26 campaign for CSKA Moscow.
The 19-year-old already has four goals and two assists to his name in all competitions, which recently earned the teenager a first call-up to the Russian national side, making his debut in the 0-0 draw against Jordan last week.

That said, Glebov is still at a very early stage of his career, and having strengthened their attack considerably in the summer, signing Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, Man United should now focus on bringing in a new central midfielder instead.
There is certainly no shortage of options on the shortlist, with Al Hilal’s Ruben Neves, Brighton’s Carlos Baleba and Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson all believed to be of interest.

Liverpool’s stuttering form has drawn sharp criticism from Daniel Sturridge, who believes the Reds are paying the price for selling Luis Diaz this summer. The former striker claimed Arne Slot’s side are missing the Colombian’s intensity and balance in attack, while suggesting the new boss made a mistake by not starting Florian Wirtz in the defeat to Chelsea.
Liverpool slipped to a third straight defeat in all competitions after conceding a 95th-minute winner against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The 2-1 loss saw Slot’s side surrender top spot in the Premier League, just a week after a similar stoppage-time heartbreak at Crystal Palace. Despite a £450m summer overhaul, the Reds’ attack has struggled to click, and Sturridge believes Diaz’s departure to Bayern Munich has caused it.
AdvertisementAFPReds told that selling Diaz was a mistake
“Luis Diaz is a massive miss for me,” Sturridge told Sky Sports. “When you look at Liverpool last year and how they used to press, I think arguably he was the one who would set the press in the front three. For me, Luis Diaz, how tenacious he is on the ball and how hungry he is to get it back for his team — he brought something to Liverpool that they are now missing. I think Ekitike and Isak and Wirtz work hard, but they’re attack-minded players. With Diaz, he would sacrifice himself defensively. That’s what they’ve got to figure out now — who in that attack is going to give themselves up a little bit. In a front three there always has to be one guy who goes, ‘I’m not stats hungry.’ Right now, I’m not sure the manager knows what he’s going to do.”
Getty ImagesSturridge questions Slot's decision to bench Wirtz
Sturridge also questioned Slot’s tactical choices in the Chelsea defeat, arguing that Wirtz should have been in the starting XI. The former England international believes the German playmaker’s creativity could have helped Liverpool regain control in key moments. “I think today’s the type of game you need a Wirtz,” he said. “Someone who can create something, get the ball in his feet, move it, advance it, maybe win a free-kick. Szoboszlai gives you that running and pressing power, but these are the games they signed Wirtz for; the quality on the ball he brings is exceptional.”

Liverpool face bitter rivals Man Utd next
Liverpool now enter the international break on the back of three consecutive losses and mounting scrutiny over Slot’s system. The Dutchman will need to reassess his attacking setup and identify the right blend of pressing and productivity. Liverpool return to action against Manchester United at Anfield on October 19th.
Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke has made no secret of his desire for further offensive reinforcements before the end of the summer transfer window.
After the 0-0 draw with Newcastle United in the Premier League, the manager said: “In defence and midfield, goalkeeper position and full-back position, we’ve done really good business. But we spoke quite open and honest about it, we would need to add some more quality up front.”
The Championship champions have only scored one goal in their first three matches back in the top-flight, which has placed further emphasis on the need for new attacking talent to arrive at Throp Arch.
Leeds in talks to sign new winger
With only a few hours left before the deadline passes, the club are reportedly looking to sign a player from one of their Premier League rivals.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
According to journalist Graham Smyth, Leeds United are in talks with Fulham over a potential deal to bring Harry Wilson to Elland Road in the coming hours.
The reporter does not reveal whether it would be a permanent or loan move for the former Liverpool man, who signed for the Cottagers for £12m in the summer of 2021.
Smyth adds, though, that he expects the club’s business to be done for the summer if they are able to get a move for Wilson over the line in this last-ditch approach.
What Harry Wilson could bring to Leeds
The Wales international is a proven Premier League performer who could slot straight into the side on the right wing as an upgrade on Daniel James.
Farke’s current Welsh winger has failed to create a ‘big chance’ or register a shot on target in any of his three starts in the Premier League so far this term, and only managed two goals and one assist in 24 outings in his last season in the top-flight with Fulham in the 2022/23 campaign, per Sofascore.
These statistics suggest that Leeds should not expect the former Manchester United man to deliver much in the way of quality at the top end of the pitch this season.

Stats via Sofascore
As you can see in the table above, Wilson has delivered ten goals and seven assists in his last two seasons in the Premier League with Fulham.
These statistics show that the left-footed star, who was once hailed as “incredible” by Jurgen Klopp, can provide quality as both a scorer and a creator of goals on the right wing.
The Fulham forward has shown that he can score and assist goals at a decent rate in the Premier League and could, therefore, hit the ground running at Elland Road as an upgrade on Dan James, who has consistently struggled to deliver in front of goal at that level.
He has shown that he can make a bigger impact in front of goal than the current Leeds winger and that is why a move for the £12m forward could be a shrewd last-minute move.
Better than Buonanotte: Leeds eyeing Deadline Day move for £11m star
Leeds United could make a late move for a star who is even better than Facundo Buonanotte.
Liverpool enjoyed a barnstorming summer transfer window, with an estimated £415m outlay marking the most ambitious and expensive spending spree in European football history.
Rarely had Liverpool shown even a measure of the willingness to fork out such sums across a condensed period, but the careful construction of a superpower under Jurgen Klopp’s wing hit new heights last year in Arne Slot’s system, winning the Premier League and earning a windfall from finishing first in the Champions League group phase.
Twice the Reds have broken the British transfer record this year, first signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen before winning the interminable battle with Newcastle United for their free-scoring forward Alexander Isak.
But it didn’t all go the Anfield side’s way, having missed out on top defensive target Marc Guehi on transfer deadline day, with the Three Lions star’s announcement earlier in the day thought to be a formality.
Liverpool's miss out on Guehi
Guehi remains at Crystal Palace. The 25-year-old centre-half, who has entered the final year of his contract, had come within a whisker to making a career-changing move to Slot’s Liverpool, but lost out after his club failed to sign a fitting replacement and Oliver Glasner reportedly threatened to walk if his sale was green-lit.
However, Guehi’s arrival was never going to be the be-all and end-all for the Merseysiders, who had already welcomed Giovanni Leoni to their ranks from Parma in Italy for a £26m fee plus add-ons.
The Italy international is only 18, but he has already showcased prodigious potential and is considered to be one of the most talented young defenders in the world.
Liverpool also resisted interest in Joe Gomez last month, and thus have a range of options at the rearguard, with skipper Virgil van Dijk still performing at the top of his game despite turning 34 in July.
In short, there’s not much to worry about, even if Guehi is one of the best on English shores.
Palace might of reneged on their initial agreement with Liverpool due to internal strife, but the league champions have options aplenty to get them through the campaign, with Van Dijk not the only one who might consider himself an upgrade on the England international.
Liverpool already have a Guehi upgrade
Guehi has the makings of a top-class defender, but perhaps he’s not quite there yet. The one-time Chelsea prospect has captained Palace to FA Cup and Community Shield titles in 2025, but it’s perhaps fair to say that he hasn’t yet lived up to the heights of Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate.
Crystal Palace'sMarcGuehilooks dejected.
Konate, 26, hasn’t enjoyed the best of starts to the season, caught out in both of Liverpool’s opening Premier League fixtures, but the Frenchman is typically immense beside Van Dijk, hailed by analyst Josh Williams as a “monster at covering ground and dealing with one vs one situations.”
Across his four seasons at Liverpool, Konate has grown stronger and stronger, both on the field and from a fitness slant, with his title-winning performances last season bearing a likeness to Guehi’s own efforts across the year. It’s clear, then, why Liverpool want to land a player who is comparable to their athletic defender.

Like Guehi, Konate is staring at the end of his contract, and despite lengthy efforts to reach a breakthrough, Liverpool have as yet failed to convince the £70k-per-week defender to extend.
However, reports from recent months have suggested that there has been something of a narrative shift, with reporter DaveOCKOP revealing that talks are ongoing underneath the ominous backdrop of Real Madrid’s persisting interest.
And class, as they say, is permanent, with Konate putting in a phenomenal shift against Liverpool’s title rivals, completing all 44 of his passes and standing strong against the waves of Gunner offensives.
Liverpool may feel that they have an exciting prospect in Leoni – and indeed, they are probably right in viewing him as a potential superstar – but Konate has been chiselled into one of the best in the business, and his track record suggests Guehi wouldn’t have so easily displaced him if a deal was done on deadline day.
All this is to say that while supporters might be understandably frustrated by the failed effort to sign Guehi, there is little, if any, cause for panic.
Konate is at the top of his game right now, and if Liverpool do find a breakthrough in negotiations to extend his stay on Merseyside, the tough-tackling giant might just find himself reaching new levels, especially when the time comes for Van Dijk to bow out.
Sofascore’s data even reveals that Konate won a whopping 71% of his aerial duels in the top flight last term, whereas Guehi, much shorter at just 6 feet tall, came out on top just 54% of the time for the Eagles.
After all, it’s hardly a coincidence that Konate won his first Premier League title the same year he sorted his fitness levels out, starting 30 times in the Premier League.

Liverpool will still need to sign a centre-back at some stage in the not-too-distant future, and Guehi may well remain at the top of the shopping list as he approaches free agency.
Not Ngumoha: Liverpool's exciting 17-year-old could become the next Isak
Liverpool have refined every level of their squad this summer, from youth to senior standard.
Manchester United are reportedly considering keeping hold of veteran Brazilian midfielder Casemiro as Ruben Amorim plans to revamp his team in the summer transfer window. The Portuguese manager is planning a major overhaul in the middle of the park, with one big-name signing on the radar and the Brazilian’s lucrative contract now under the microscope.
Casemiro must take hefty pay cut to continue at Man Utd
Casemiro could be set to continue at Manchester United past the end of the season. The 33-year-old Brazilian, one of the Premier League’s top earners, has two years left on his deal, and has been linked with an exit but United are now seriously weighing up their options. The midfielder’s contract runs until June 2026, with an option to extend for a further year. However, that clause would mean keeping him on his current eye-watering wages, something the club are reluctant to do as they continue their post-glory-era cost-cutting drive. United have been aggressively slashing their wage bill since the exits of David De Gea, Raphael Varane and Marcus Rashford, and Casemiro could be the next high-profile casualty. According to , if the Brazilian wants to stay in Manchester, he’ll need to accept a hefty pay cut. But Amorim, who sees Casemiro as a vital figure in his evolving setup, may yet have something to say about that.
AdvertisementGetty Images SportAmorim wants a midfield revolution
Behind the scenes, Amorim is plotting what insiders are calling a complete midfield reboot. United are expected to make at least one marquee signing next summer as part of the rebuild. Kobbie Mainoo’s uncertain future and Manuel Ugarte’s inability to nail down a starting spot have left the manager frustrated. Amorim had been desperate to add fresh legs in the middle during the summer, but the window slammed shut with no new arrivals, a failure that has already been felt on the pitch.
Last summer, United pushed hard for Brighton’s Carles Baleba, with Amorim identifying the young Cameroonian as his ideal long-term midfield anchor. But Brighton stood firm, refusing to sell at any price. Enter Adam Wharton, Crystal Palace’s 21-year-old midfield sensation. Since joining from Blackburn in 2024, Wharton has taken the Premier League by storm, dazzling fans with his effortless control, crisp passing, and ability to glide through opposition lines. He’s already become one of the league’s standout ball progressors, and Amorim is a huge admirer. The Portuguese coach believes Wharton’s composure and versatility could be the missing piece in United’s midfield puzzle. Wharton’s reputation soared even higher when he helped Palace win their first-ever major trophy, lifting the FA Cup last season before adding the Community Shield by beating Liverpool on penalties.
Reports claim United are lining up a £60m ($80m) bid to tempt Palace into negotiations, though insiders believe Oliver Glasner’s side will demand a significantly higher sum. Palace’s hierarchy view Wharton as irreplaceable, but every player has a price, and United are keen to act fast before Liverpool, Manchester City, or Real Madrid make their moves.
Midfield mayhem as old guard comes under fire
United’s struggles this season have been painfully familiar: a lack of control, disjointed pressing, and a midfield that too often looks one step behind. Fans have grown increasingly vocal about the partnership of Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro, which hasn’t clicked under Amorim’s system. With Casemiro’s deal winding down and Mainoo reportedly angling for a move to boost his England chances ahead of the 2026 World Cup, the middle of the park could see major upheaval in the coming months. Napoli are understood to be preparing an offer for Mainoo, with Antonio Conte personally keen on reuniting a core of ex-United players who’ve thrived in Serie A. Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund have already found redemption under Conte’s leadership, and he is ready to make a gamble with Mainoo.
Meanwhile, clubs in Brazil and Saudi Arabia are circling for Casemiro, ready to swoop should United give the green light. From January, he’ll be free to negotiate a pre-contract with overseas clubs, a moment that could define the next chapter of his career. Despite speculation, those close to the player insist he’s settled in Manchester with his family and still fully committed to the cause. Amorim, too, reportedly values the experience and leadership Casemiro brings to a squad still searching for its identity under his tenure.

Getty ImagesThe road ahead: Tough choices, big dreams
Amorim faces his sternest test yet. Balancing the need for fresh faces with loyalty to experienced veterans like Casemiro will define his United tenure. A decision on Casemiro’s contract is expected before the end of the year, with United bracing for offers as early as January. Whether the Brazilian accepts a pay cut or seeks one final payday elsewhere could shape the next era of Amorim’s midfield rebuild. For now, United’s focus turns to the upcoming Premier League clash with Liverpool, a fixture that could either reignite their season or deepen the crisis.
Playing his first match since October 2024, the highest speed he worked up against MI was 142.7kph
Sidharth Monga27-Apr-20251:30
Mayank Yadav’s variations impress Anil Kumble
Playing his first competitive match in six months, tearaway quick Mayank Yadav came back a much slower bowler. He returned figures of 4-0-40-2, bowled the first over of a T20 match for only the second time in his career, and took his first T20 wicket off a slower ball in matches that have a ball-by-ball record. The slower balls were the standout feature of his comeback; he has never bowled more in a single T20 match than the eight he sent down at the Wankhede Stadium against Mumbai Indians on Sunday.Eyes train on the speed gun whenever Mayank runs in to bowl. It was his high pace – a high of 156.7kph – and accuracy that excited the selectors, who gave him a special fast bowler’s central contract. But the high pace came at a cost: frequent injuries that hardly let him play longer formats. Eighteen of his 36 representative matches are T20s, and only one first-class.Mayank was primarily recovering from a back injury, and missed the entire 2024-25 domestic season. He was recovering at the BCCI’s Centre Of Excellence (CoE, formerly NCA) in Bengaluru. His return to action had been pushed back by “a week or two” when he stubbed his toe against his bed, and subsequently picked up an infection, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head coach Justin Langer had said in early April.It was apparent immediately that Mayank was going to ease himself back in after his latest injury cost him six months. The quickest ball he bowled against MI was 142.7kph, which often used to be his slowest pace. He added the smarts, though: after getting pulled for two sixes in the third over by Rohit Sharma, he slipped in a wide slower ball that gave him Rohit’s wicket.Despite that, Mayank remained costly, going for 13 runs in his second over, and 15 in his third over. However, he made a stellar comeback in the 16th, getting Hardik Pandya out bowled top of leg stump with a reversing delivery, and then tying up Suryakumar Yadav and Naman Dhir with slower balls. His final over conceded no boundary.”It’s going to take a while,” Anil Kumble said of Mayank’s journey to be the bowler he once was, “But very impressed. For a first game, after a long time, especially against a really good batting line-up, Mumbai Indians, a good surface, Wankhede, you know as a bowler, irrespective of when you are playing at the Wankhede, you don’t have too many margins of error. So knowing all of that and coming back from injury, he was very impressive.”He picked up two important wickets, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya. I thought the lengths that he bowled and the variations that he provided, was really good.”If Mayank has found himself a more sustainable bowling action, he can work on his strength to add a few clicks to his early 140ks on his comeback. However, there is a big difference between the early 150s and mid-140s, which will call for much more accuracy, control and movement to be effective at the top level.
