Liverpool have reportedly identified Micky van de Ven as a potential target in their search to bring in a new centre-back.

Manchester United have reportedly been offered the opportunity to sign Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan from Serie A giants AC Milan. The England international joined the Rossoneri in 2023 after struggling to nail down a regular place at boyhood side Chelsea and has largely managed to shake off his worrying past of injuries, making 90 appearances for the Italian side. However, they are apparently open to the 29-year-old departing on a temporary basis during the January transfer window and have offered his services to United.

Lincoln Henrique has unleashed a verbal volley at Jose Mourinho, claiming the Portuguese manager treated him with total disrespect during their brief overlap at Fenerbahce. The Brazilian midfielder alleges he was frozen out without explanation and accuses the "Special One" of lacking character in a damning assessment of his former boss, insisting that personal integrity matters more than a trophy cabinet filled with silverware.

Serie A giants Inter Milan are reportedly lining up a move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The Argentina international has been a regular at Villa Park since joining the club in 2020 and has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. However, the 33-year-old has been regularly linked with a transfer away from Villa in the past few years, especially during the most recent summer window, and now Inter are considering him as a potential replacement for current shot-stopper Yann Sommer.

Manchester United have reached a groundbreaking agreement with North American production giant Lionsgate to develop a dramatised retelling of the club’s storied history. The project is being conceptualised with a style similar to Netflix’s royal hit The Crown, with the club set to receive a guaranteed sum in the low multi-millions should the series be produced and sold to a major streaming platform.

Diego Costa has hit out at former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, claiming "nobody liked" the current Napoli boss when he was in charge at Stamford Bridge. Former Spain international Costa spent three seasons with the Blues, the last of which came in 2016-17 when they won the Premier League title under the fiery Italian. However, the pair fell out and Costa was soon sent back to previous club Atletico Madrid.

Getafe defender Davinchi has confirmed the tragic death of his father in Sunday's rail disaster in southern Spain. David Cordon Cano, 50, was one of 42 victims killed in the collision near Córdoba while returning from his son's match in Madrid. The 18-year-old paid a heartbreaking tribute to his "brightest star," promising to never give up in honour of the former beach soccer international.

Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has snubbed club icon Rio Ferdinand in a battle of defensive legends, crowning Sergio Ramos as his ultimate centre-back instead. In an exclusive interview with GOAL, in association with adidas, the French teenager explained his decision-making process, admitting his own playing style mirrors Ferdinand’s but ultimately gave the nod to the Real Madrid hero.

Jobe Bellingham endured a difficult night in north London on Tuesday as his Borussia Dortmund side were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur. Cristian Romero's strike put Spurs ahead before Daniel Svensson was sent off for a challenge on Wilson Odobert after intervention from the video assistant referee, with Dominic Solanke's effort then putting the game beyond BVB. Bellingham, brother of Real Madrid and England star Jude, came in for brutal criticism on social media for a perceived below-par performance.

Even though they had waited three years to beat Manchester City at Old Trafford and far longer to do so with such authority, Manchester United's emphatic victory in last weekend's derby was the easy part. Any team, especially one with a new manager who is steeped in the club's glorious history, can get up for a match with their biggest rivals and win it.

Gareth Bale has pinpointed exactly why Xabi Alonso’s tenure at Real Madrid ended in failure, claiming the Spaniard fell short in one crucial area despite his tactical brilliance. The five-time Champions League winner believes the unique pressure of the Santiago Bernabeu requires a "manager" capable of handling fragile egos rather than a tactical "coach", a nuance he suggests proved fatal for his former colleague.

Thierry Henry dismissed a suggestion from fellow pundit Jamie Carragher as the pair discussed the recent Africa Cup of Nations final between Senegal and Morocco. Former Liverpool defender Carragher has been criticised in the past for suggesting that the AFCON should not be considered a "major tournament", and has now raised the question as to whether European referees should be recruited in a bid to improve officiating standards. However, legendary ex-France and Arsenal striker Henry quickly rejected that opinion.
