Premier League news

Years before Cristiano Ronaldo became a global icon and five-time Ballon d’Or winner, he made a striking declaration to then Manchester United team-mate Edwin van der Sar. The Dutch goalkeeper, reflecting on former Real Madrid and Juventus forward's early days at Old Trafford, remembers a hungry individual confidently stating he would become the best player in the world.

Manchester United players have made their feelings known on Rasmus Hojlund in response to the striker's fast start at Napoli following his loan move. It took him just 14 minutes in a Napoli shirt to do what he so often struggled to do at Old Trafford: score when it mattered.

Wayne Rooney has reportedly braced himself for an 'awkward' possible meeting with Ruben Amorim after criticising the Manchester United head coach. This is partly because the ex-Red Devils striker picks his son up from the club's training ground - a place the Portuguese regularly frequents.

Senne Lammens' brother has admitted he felt that the Belgian goalkeeper should have joined Galatasaray instead of Manchester United in the summer transfer window, amid fears he would "succumb to the pressure" of life at Old Trafford. Lammens completed an £18 million ($25m) deadline day move from Royal Antwerp as the Red Devils decided against placing a formal offer for Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez.

Paul Scholes has torn into Manchester United for a "criminal offence" in the summer transfer window, with Ruben Amorim missing out on a "best in the world" signing. The Red Devils spent a whopping £205 million ($280m) on the likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens, but have still made a poor start to the new season.

Arsenal have announced that former Rangers winger Archie Stevens is now a Gunners player, with the promising forward signing a professional contract with the Premier League giants. The talented teenager saw his time in Scotland brought to a close when walking away from Ibrox upon the expiration of his deal in Glasgow over the summer - making him a free agent.

Liverpool have been told that they have “one hell of a player” on their hands in Federico Chiesa, with the Reds yet to see the Italian forward’s “true qualities”. The European Championship winner was heavily linked with a move elsewhere in the summer transfer window, but the deadline passed with no deal done and he remains part of Arne Slot’s plans at Anfield.

Nick Woltemade has been discussing his living arrangement since completing a transfer to Newcastle, with the German striker being joined on Tyneside by one of his best friends. Neither has an issue with their shared accommodation as they remain single and ready to embrace an exciting new challenge with Premier League giants in the north of England.

Nuno Espirito Santo is in line for an instant return to the Premier League, with a surprise club reportedly ready to swoop for the ex-Nottingham Forest boss. A breakdown in his working relationship with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis led to Nuno being relieved of his managerial duties at the City Ground last week, with Ange Postecoglou swiftly drafted in as his replacement.

Cristian Romero has welcomed the arrival of an “organised” coach at Tottenham, which could be considered a swipe at former boss Ange Postecoglou. Spurs are now working under the guidance of Danish tactician Thomas Frank, with a change in the dugout being made over the summer after stumbling to a 17th-place finish in the Premier League last season.

Heading into the summer, Arsenal fans were told to expect an 'unprecedented' window by transfer reporters. The club held up that end of the bargain, splashing out roughly £250 million ($340m) on new players to bolster Mikel Arteta's squad as they look to end their 22-year wait for a Premier League title. Through four games of the season, their recruits look right at home.

Erling Haaland has reportedly become an “obsession” for Joan Laporta, with Barcelona’s president confident that the Norwegian striker can be prised away from Manchester City. The Blaugrana will find themselves in the market for a new No.9 during the summer of 2026 as prolific Polish frontman Roberto Lewandowski is seeing his contract run down towards free agency.

A Paris Saint-Germain figurehead has appeared to aim a subtle dig at former goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma following his summer move to Manchester City. PSG football advisor Luis Campos has suggested that the Italian's salary demands were beyond their wage "policy" and that nobody is bigger than the club.

A Benfica presidential candidate has addressed speculation he wants to bring Ruben Amorim to the Portuguese giants after watching Manchester United's 3-0 loss to Manchester City. Joao Noronha Lopes and his team were at the Etihad for the Manchester derby and now he has made his thoughts on the Red Devils head coach perfectly clear.

Andre Onana has suggested his Manchester United story may not be over despite sealing a season-long loan move to Trabzonspor. The goalkeeper has chosen to leave his family in Manchester while he looks to rebuild his reputation in Turkey, a decision that hints at a possible long-term return to Old Trafford once his loan spell ends in the summer of 2026.

Julian Alvarez’s agent has poured cold water on rumours linking the Argentine World Cup winner with a sensational switch to Liverpool in the summer of 2024. Reports had claimed the Reds proposed a swap involving Luis Diaz, but Fernando Hidalgo has now confirmed there were no official approaches, insisting the forward remains fully committed to Atletico Madrid.

Andy Robertson has leapt to Milos Kerkez's defence after the new Liverpool left-back was taken off early in their 1-0 win at Burnley. The 21-year-old has taken the Scot's place in the Reds' starting lineup but the experienced defender is still backing the Hungarian to the hilt.
