Andre Onana has suggested his Manchester United story may not be over despite sealing a season-long loan move to Trabzonspor.

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.

Samuel Umtiti has officially announced his retirement from football at just 31 years old, bringing an end to a career that saw him win the 2018 World Cup with France and multiple trophies at Barcelona.

Gary Lineker has admitted he is “really worried” about Ruben Amorim’s handling of Manchester United star Kobbie Mainoo.

Lineker says the situation is “slightly baffling” given the midfielder’s talent and potential.

Harry Kane has urged Bayern Munich to start their Champions League campaign strongly as they prepare to face Chelsea on Wednesday night.

Manchester United loanee Andre Onana's Trabzonspor debut got off to the worst possible start after the Cameroonian produced yet another howler to hand Fenerbahce the opening goal.

Benjamin Sesko had yet another night to forget in a Manchester United shirt during what was his first start for the Red Devils.

Arne Slot has defended his decision to delay Alexander Isak’s Liverpool debut by pointing to Yoane Wissa’s recent injury at Newcastle.

Rasmus Hojlund marked his Napoli debut in style as the Manchester United flop scored in a 3-1 Serie A victory over Fiorentina, before expressing his delight at joining what he described as an “incredible” team.

Liverpool fans may have to wait before seeing Alexander Isak unleashed in full flow, with manager Arne Slot admitting the club’s new £125 million signing is still lacking fitness after missing pre-season. The Swedish striker joined on deadline day following a stand-off with Newcastle and will be eased into action carefully, with his availability against Burnley on Sunday under doubt.

Chelsea have agreed to a deal with their sister club Strasbourg over the transfer of in-demand striker Emanuel Emegha in 2026. The Blues' controversial yet legal dealings with the French side continue to raise objections from fans, and Emegha's move will certainly trigger conversation over the morality of the agreement yet again.

Andre Onana has completed a loan move to Trabzonspor after being forced out at Manchester United, where he slipped down the pecking order under Ruben Amorim.

Onana now has the chance to revive his career and has opened up on his emotions for the first time.
