Premier League news

Manchester United have informed Bruno Fernandes he will not be sold "under any circumstances" this summer. The club has provided private assurances to the captain following earlier reports that they were open to an £80m Saudi Arabian bid.

Two elite profiles, one decisive shift. The season tells one story, the last five games tell another.

Paul Dickov has told GOAL that despite being unable to see Arsenal “sacking” Mikel Arteta, the Spaniard could still leave Emirates Stadium if another Premier League title falls agonisingly out of reach. Some uncomfortable questions are being asked in north London, following another collapse of sorts, with Dickov offering his take on the long-running “bottle” debate.

Chelsea's dressing room reportedly became tense during their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United. Teammates allegedly confronted Alejandro Garnacho at half-time following his poor performance against his former club.

Barcelona are reportedly preparing to allow Marcus Rashford to return to Manchester United this summer following an underwhelming loan spell at Camp Nou. Despite initial interest in a permanent deal, club officials have cooled on the 28-year-old after he failed to deliver during a crucial sequence of fixtures in the Champions League and Copa del Rey.

Certain staff members within Manchester United are hailing the potential of Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven, suggesting that the duo can be "as good as" Arsenal’s elite pairing of Gabriel and William Saliba. As the club nears Champions League qualification under Michael Carrick, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his leadership team are simultaneously plotting a move for Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven to bolster the backline.

William Gallas has urged Chelsea to looking at plucking a head coach from La Liga to solve their ongoing crisis. The former defender believes the Blues need a "harsh" leader to transform their young squad into winners.

Harry Kane once wrote a list of career goals that left Tottenham team-mates “laughing at him”, with fellow Spurs academy graduate Paul-Jose M’Poku telling GOAL who the “only person” that believed in the record-breaking striker was. In his younger years, few could have predicted what the current England captain would become. He has, however, had the last laugh and proved any doubters wrong.

A brutal nickname apparently used by a Chelsea player for Liam Rosenior has been revealed following his sacking. The Blues let go of their manager on Wednesday following a string of disappointing results that leaves them at risk of missing out on Champions League football.

Gary Neville has labelled Chelsea’s owners "clueless" following the decision to sack Liam Rosenior. The former Manchester United also ridiculed the club’s policy of handing out long-term contracts, calling the strategy "laughable."

Erling Haaland was left visibly irritated during a post-match interview following Manchester City’s slender 1-0 victory against Burnley at Turf Moor. Despite scoring the decisive goal to send his side to the top of the Premier League, the Norwegian striker grew weary of repetitive questions regarding City's failure to convert more of their chances.

Morgan Rogers has been told that he can “go higher”, amid renewed transfer talk at Aston Villa, with Henri Lansbury telling GOAL why the classy England international playmaker is capable of “stepping on again”. Rogers has proved himself in the Premier League, while also gracing European competition, and could take on a new challenge outside of his homeland at some stage.

Chelsea have identified a primary target to succeed Liam Rosenior as the club's leadership explores a diverse shortlist of coaching options. Following Rosenior's dismissal on Wednesday, the Blues are searching for their fifth permanent appointment since 2022 to salvage a season currently marred by a fractured dressing room.

To paraphrase the great Homer Simpson, it is not only easy to criticise, but fun, too. It is quite simple to sit and judge from this ivory tower, but hey, that's football after all, merely a game of opinions. Being a Premier League manager must be one of the loneliest gigs in the world, particularly when results are wayward and your job security is the subject of international speculation.

Chelsea have successfully avoided a staggering £24 million compensation payout following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior after just 104 days at the helm. While the board has faced intense scrutiny for the club's recent decline, a strategic break clause embedded within the manager's eight-year contract has saved the Blues from a massive financial hit.

Newcastle's season has unravelled; with five Premier League games remaining and in the thick of a dire run of form, the Magpies find themselves closer to the bottom three than they are to the Champions League places, and their hopes of securing any form of European football are fading fast. To make matters worse, their struggles are unfolding against the backdrop of significant upheaval behind the scenes as pressure mounts on head coach Eddie Howe.

Pep Guardiola has warned his Manchester City players that they cannot afford a single slip-up if they are to secure the Premier League crown ahead of Arsenal. Following a narrow victory at Burnley that sent City top for the first time since August, the Spaniard insisted that a perfect record in their final five games is the only path to glory.
