Premier League news

Wayne Rooney has revealed the reaction of a group of assembled legends to Manchester United's 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City. Ruben Amorim's side were smashed at the Etihad, with Rooney watching on alongside ex-United team-mates Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Michael Carrick.

Alexander Isak’s arrival at Liverpool will allow some goal-scoring responsibility to be shifted away from Mohamed Salah, but the Egyptian superstar has been told that the addition of another forward “won’t improve” his numbers. Salah has been a revelation for the Reds, but they have now splashed out £125 million ($170m) on adding Swedish striker Isak to their ranks.

Chelsea have been charged with 74 breaches of rules relating to agents, intermediaries and third party investment. The alleged misdemeanours date back to Roman Abramovich’s time as owner. Various punishments are being speculated on, but the Blues may avoid being stung with the harshest of points deductions by the Football Association.

Brentford have opened talks to sign highly-rated Borussia Dortmund left-back Almugera Kabar in a deal worth a reported €20 million. The U17 World Cup winner is struggling for game time in Germany, and the Bees are pushing for a permanent January transfer for a player they believe is physically ideal for the Premier League.

Arne Slot has further outlined Liverpool’s plan for Alexander Isak, with the Reds reluctant to rush the £125 million ($170m) striker into making his debut. Isak has, after completing a record-breaking transfer from Newcastle to Anfield, become the most expensive player in British football. He is, however, lacking fitness and sharpness on the back of a hectic summer.

Andre Onana is being tipped to secure a marquee transfer away from Manchester United in 2026, with a loan spell at Trabzonspor allowing his reputation to be rebuilt. The Cameroon international is now out of sight and mind at Old Trafford, but the expectation is that another big club will come calling once his ability has been highlighted again in Turkey.

Manchester United have been urged to launch a January swoop for Marc Guehi after the Crystal Palace captain's proposed move to Liverpool fell through. The centre-back was set to move to Anfield on deadline day but, at the eleventh hour, the move collapsed, leaving Guehi to spend at least the first half of the season at Selhurst Park.

Manchester United's stance on relieving Ruben Amorim of his duties has emerged amid the club's worst start to a Premier League season in 33 years. Amorim's back-five tactics has been criticised after the 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City, but the Portuguese coach remained bullish on his tactical system and even insisted that the club would have to sack him before he changes his setup.

Manchester City star Jeremy Doku was baptised almost immediately after the club's 3-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday. The winger enjoyed a dazzling display at the Etihad as Pep Guardiola's side won comfortably, and Doku claimed that the day was 'already a victory' before the whistle blew against Ruben Amorim's side.

Jack Grealish joined Wayne Rooney in paying emotional tribute to British boxing legend Ricky Hatton who passed away aged just 46. Former world champion Hatton was found dead at his home in Hyde in Tameside, Greater Manchester on Sunday morning by the police. Hatton was a life-long City fan and he used the club's Blue Moon song to walk out for bouts.

Wayne Rooney highlighted a "powerful" bad omen for Ruben Amorim after Manchester United's humiliating defeat in the derby against Manchester City on Sunday. As the Cityzens dominated the game, a section of the visiting United fans were spotted leaving the Etihad Stadium in disappointment. The Red Devils have now lost two out of their first four matches and are 14th in the Premier League.

Matthijs de Ligt has been backed to recover from his shaky Manchester United spell by Red Devils legend Jaap Stam, amid Ruben Amorim's struggle at Old Trafford. De Ligt, who joined United from Bayern Munich last summer, has yet to live up to the expectations. In the current season, the Dutch centre-back has appeared in each one of Red Devils' matches across all competitions.

That first international break of the season always comes at just the wrong time. With teams starting to get into the groove as they switch from pre-season to competitive action, and with the final new signings of the summer arriving on deadline day, that Premier League fans had to wait two weeks to see their teams in action was almost a travesty. Fortunately, that wait is now over.

Wayne Rooney has shown that you never lose it, with the Manchester United and England legend rolling back the years in an exhibition game. The Red Devils’ all-time leading goal-scorer lined up alongside and against a collection of international superstars in the Nexon Icons Match, with the target found with a spectacular strike.

Manchester City were forced to take action after a worker was spotted wearing a Manchester United shirt while serving pints at the Etihad Stadium on derby day. A fan on social media shared the image of the member of staff and brought it to the club's attention, and City swiftly 'removed' the person from their position. On the pitch, the Cityzens demolished their rivals 3-0 courtesy of a brace from Erling Haaland.

Erling Haaland helped Manchester City to cook arch-rivals Manchester United on derby day at the Etihad Stadium, with the Norwegian striker celebrating that success in style. The prolific frontman has revealed that he toasted picking up three precious points with a barbecue that included steak and his Man of the Match award, with Haaland apparently enjoying a "nice evening".

Just after Phil Foden had set Manchester City on their way to their damning 3-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday, fans could be heard chanting Ruben Amorim's name. At first it seemed that United's 3,000 visiting supporters were defiantly backing their coach, and yet it soon became clear that it was in fact City's fans who were doing the singing.
