Jose Mourinho admits it was a "mistake" joining Fenerbahce and that the Turkish team wasn't on his "level". The 62-year-old has come full circle after being sworn in as Benfica's new manager following Bruno Lage's sacking. The Portuguese believes he is a coach who should be managing the biggest teams in the world and Benfica give him that platform.

Wolves have confirmed head coach Vitor Pereira has signed a new three-year contract despite his side being rooted to the bottom of the Premier League. The Portuguese arrived at Molineux last December and guided the club from 19th to 16th and top-flight safety. Although they have lost all four league games this season, he has been rewarded with a new deal.

The Professional Footballers' Association is reportedly in talks with Chelsea over how they are treating exiled duo Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi. Both the Blues winger and defender tried to secure deadline day exits but in the end they stayed put in the club's 'Bomb Squad'. Now, it is understood the PFA have intervened over how they are being looked after.

Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi expects Mason Greenwood to become a "complete" footballer like the "greatest players in Europe". The Italian has pushed the forward hard since arriving at the French side last summer and it is clear he has high hopes for him. The head coach also wants him to learn from the likes of elite players such as Kylian Mbappe and Raphinha.

Everton boss David Moyes has defended Liverpool's summer spending spree but still aimed a cheeky dig at their Merseyside rivals. The Reds spent around £450 million on signings but manager Arne Slot was keen to point out they have sold £200m-worth of players as well. And while Moyes acknowledged that, he couldn't help but stick the boot in before their Anfield clash.

Liverpool's £125 million recruit was outshone by his fellow forward as the Reds claimed a 2-1 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby. Alexander Isak had to make do with a spot on the bench and, for the time being, he may have to play second fiddle to the on-fire Hugo Ekitike, who found the back of the net once again.

Salford co-owners David Beckham and Gary Neville have admitted the club faced "serious trouble" before a takeover "saved" the League Two team. The Manchester United legends were "genuinely worried" by losses of £22.5 million over seven years as they sought a new buyer following majority shareholder Peter Lim's exit. But their new ownership group raised nearly £30m to rescue Salford.

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has reportedly left his role at Salford City as he seeks a return to management. The Welshman has been the League Two team's director of football and also helped out with head coach Karl Robinson on matchdays. But it is understood that the ex-winger has parted company with a club that is co-owned by David Beckham and Gary Neville.

Chelsea fans have urged the club to sign a new goalkeeper after Robert Sanchez's early red card against Manchester United. The Spaniard brought down the through-on-goal Bryan Mbeumo and was dismissed in the fifth minute at a sodden Old Trafford. That prompted Blues fans to tear into the ex-Brighton stopper, saying he is a "walking, talking liability" for Enzo Maresca's side.

A Chelsea legend has warned his old team to be "careful" with how they treat 'bomb squad' players Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi. The duo are training away from the Blues first-team after failing to secure summer exits. Amid talks with the Professional Footballers Association, Pat Nevin believes Chelsea need to watch how they treat Sterling and Disasi as it could damage the dressing room.

Jack Grealish has been told that Pep Guardiola isn't to blame for the winger's struggles at Manchester City. Many believe that the attacking talents and flair that Grealish possessed before his move from Aston Villa has been beaten out of him at the Etihad. But former Chelsea man Pat Nevin thinks something else is at play amid the winger's superb start on loan at Everton.

Manchester United have confirmed they have begun work to add 6,000 safe standing seats at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are planning on building a new £2 billion stadium but for the time being, the club are thinking about the here and now. The Premier League giants hope that this short-term changes will improve the atmosphere at their iconic home.

Manchester United are reportedly investigating footage that showed one of their fans being attacked by another during their 2-1 win over Chelsea. Frank Ilett has gone viral for refusing to cut his hair until Ruben Amorim's side win five games in a row - something that led to him being verbally abused at Old Trafford. Now, the club are looking into the matter.

Barcelona have confirmed that midfielder Gavi could be out for up to five months after having knee surgery. The 21-year-old missed the best part of a year with a cruciate ligament tear in late 2023. Now, the Spaniard is set for more time on the sidelines as the meniscus issue in his right knee is more serious than first believed.

Hugo Ekitike has been slammed for his "dumb" red card in Liverpool's 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Southampton. The France striker, who was already on a yellow card, came off the bench to score a late winner for the Reds but picked up a second booking for taking his shirt off in celebration. Now, the ex-Eintracht Frankfurt man has been torn apart on social media.

Antony's Manchester United team-mates reportedly had doubts about the winger's ability and concerns were raised over his conduct towards Carrington staff. The Brazilian swapped Ajax for the Red Devils in a whopping £85 million ($115m) deal in 2022 and joined Real Betis this summer for £63.8m ($86m) less than that. Now, more grumblings about the 25-year-old are coming out of the woodwork.

Arsenal have reportedly made contact with the entourage of a rising Serie A star but will have to splash the cash to sign him. The Gunners spent just under €300 million (£262m) on signings this summer but speculation is mounting that they are ready to go big again. But a certain European giant is unlikely to want to sell one of their prized assets.

Aston Villa president of football operations Monchi has stepped down from his role at the club and now details behind his exit have come to light. Unai Emery's side have had a difficult start to the season after a summer transfer window where they spent just €30 million (£26m). Real Sociedad's former sporting director Roberto Olabe will replace Monchi but all is not well at Villa.
