Premier League news

Nicky Butt has criticised Manchester United's season ticket restrictions after supporters were caught up in the club's anti-touting crackdown. The former Red Devils midfielder believes genuine fans should be allowed to share tickets with family and friends without facing penalties.

Michael Carrick has become the latest manager to take on the challenge of rekindling former glories at Manchester United, but can he achieve a first since Sir Alex Ferguson? The Red Devils have failed to capture the Premier League title after bidding farewell to the iconic Scot, and have also found stability in the dugout hard to come by. Mikael Silvestre has told GOAL that the next man up is capable of enjoying a rare form of longevity.

Christian Pulisic could be the perfect successor to Mohamed Salah at Liverpool, Jonathan Spector has told GOAL, with the USMNT star considered to be a “nightmare” for opposition defences. The United States international forward is currently on the books of Serie A giants AC Milan, but boasts Premier League experience from his four-year stint at Chelsea.

A Premier League transfer for Kylian Mbappe in future windows cannot be ruled out, Mikael Silvestre has admitted to GOAL, with the France international being advised to find the “best platform” on which major silverware can be chased down. Mbappe thought he had found that when becoming a ‘Galactico’ at Real Madrid, but the biggest of honours are proving difficult to secure.

Benjamin Sesko has been set a goal target for the 2026-27 campaign that should be “written in his contract” at Manchester United, with Dwight Yorke explaining to GOAL why the Slovenian striker can “fly” for the Red Devils. Michael Carrick needs his leading marksman to do just that if a return to Premier League title contention is to be enjoyed at Old Trafford.

All the 2026-27 kits in one place

Manchester United have been told that Antonee Robinson “fits the bill” when it comes to left-back reinforcements, with the USMNT star considered to be the ideal candidate to provide competition for Luke Shaw. Jonathan Spector has explained to GOAL why a raid on Premier League rivals Fulham should be considered by Michael Carrick and the Red Devils’ board.

Arsenal and Tottenham are both weighing moves for RB Leipzig winger Antonio Nusa after his impressive World Cup campaign with Norway. The North London rivals face stiff competition from Italy, while Leipzig's £51 million valuation could prove the biggest hurdle.

Newcastle United have completed the signing of midfielder Aladji Bamba from Monaco in a deal worth up to £35 million. The 20-year-old French prospect has committed his long-term future to St James' Park on a five-year contract, with manager Eddie Howe highlighting the player's remarkable potential ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.

Steven Gerrard has been used as an example of why Premier League title triumphs are not a definition of greatness, but Mikael Silvestre has told GOAL that Bruno Fernandes will require a major trophy of some description in order to be remembered as a Manchester United legend. The Portuguese playmaker remains determined to savour domestic or Champions League glory before the day comes to leave Old Trafford.

Borussia Dortmund have stepped up their pursuit of Said El Mala, but their opening offer has been rejected by Koln as falling well below the club's valuation. With Brentford previously willing to pay €50 million, the transfer battle is far from over.

Chelsea are on the verge of completing a £52 million deal for Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix. The 26-year-old French international is set to undergo a medical before signing a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge, while Palace actively seek a replacement ahead of the new campaign.

It feels as though Marcus Rashford and Manchester United are back at square one. Both player and club must have been desperately hoping that Barcelona would take up what looked like a bargain £26 million ($35m) option to buy the attacker at the end of a productive loan spell in Catalunya in 2025-26, but, much to United's disbelief and anger, they turned in another direction. Now, Rashford faces limbo at Old Trafford.
