Juventus made an effort to bring Paul Pogba back to the club after landing Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, claims <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7358688/paul-pogba-manchester-uniteds-quit-jose-mourinho/" target="_blank">The Sun</a>. The Bianconeri were prepared to complement a €100 million (£89m/$117m)&nbsp;deal for a five-time Ballon d'Or winner with another big-money move for a former favourite.

Manchester United&nbsp;executive vice chairman Ed Woodward is facing a dressing room revolt after he backed Jose Mourinho over Paul Pogba, claims the <a href="https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/732420/Man-Utd-EXCLUSIVE-Ed-Woodward-Jose-Mourinho-Paul-Pogba-Premier-League" target="_blank">Daily Star.</a> Mourinho's feud with Pogba has exploded again this week, with the manager stripping the France star of his vice captain status.&nbsp; But several key players, including Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, are backing Pogba and feel incenced that Woodward is not even considering sacking Mourinho.&nbsp; The report states that only two United players are firmly behind Mourinho in the ongoing feud.&nbsp;

Aaron Ramsey is set to leave Arsenal for free in the summer after talks over a new contract broke down, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aaron-ramsey-leave-arsenal-next-13315036" target="_blank">Mirror</a>.&nbsp; The 27-year-old's deal expires at the end of the season, and the Gunners rejected a £50 million ($66m) bid for his services this summer as they appeared confident of keeping the Welshman.&nbsp; But there has been a sudden breakdown in talks and with no offer currently on the table, Ramsey could be on his way out in the summer as a free agent.&nbsp;

Manchester United have a pair of high priority targets in mind should they decided to move away from Jose Mourinho, according to <a href="https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-mu-les-deux-noms-cibles-pour-lapres-mourinho-405416" target="_blank">le10sport</a>. The on-going feud with Paul Pogba and the club's performance leaves it like he will depart the club, by the summer at the latest. And the Red Devils have Zinedine Zidane and Mauricio Pochettino as their top choices for the post if the change is made.&nbsp;

Man Utd have two Mourinho replacements in mind

Former&nbsp;Manchester United&nbsp;defender Paul Parker&nbsp;believes that both Jose Mourinho and Paul Pogba should be shown the exit door at Old Trafford. Reports of a fractious relationship between the Portuguese boss and the World Cup-winning midfielder have been circling for months and the situation escalated this week after a dismal 1-1 draw with Wolves last Saturday. The United head coach appears to be on borrowed time&nbsp;in his role at Old Trafford and according to Parker, both men should be forced out if the team is to turn around its fortunes on the pitch. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/man-utd-should-get-rid-of-both-mourinho-and-pogba-says/11ujg2ovmubpf1cffyb78v30ep" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Parker: Get rid of BOTH Mourinho and Pogba!

Manchester United are beginning to believe Paul Pogba will demand an exit even if Jose Mourinho departs the club, according to the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/paul-pogba-transfer-latest-manchester-united-barcelona-jose-mourinho-clash-a8557221.html" target="_blank">Independent</a>. The belief has been that if Mourinho left, the situation could be resolved. However, Barcelona's interest may sway Pogba regardless. As a result, Pogba is no longer thought of as untouchable, and an offer of £140 million might be enough to get the Red Devils to bite.&nbsp;

Pogba could go even if Mourinho leaves

Everton goalkeeper says he was unaffected by reports of Chelsea interest after his sterling World Cup with England. Pickford agreed a new six-year deal with the Toffees just over a year after becoming the most expensive British goalkeeper of all-time when he moved to Merseyside from Sunderland for £30 million ($39m). Pickford's outstanding performances for the Three Lions at the World Cup in&nbsp;Russia&nbsp;led to reports that&nbsp;Chelsea&nbsp;wanted to take him to Stamford Bridge before the season began, but he told reporters that his commitment to the club never wavered. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/jordan-pickford-everton-chelsea-premier-league/1ul11r35qt7gk1j3sa2jwfzaoq" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Alexis Sanchez is not suited to Manchester United’s style and will be “kicking himself” for having turned down the chance to move to City, says Paul Ince. The Chilean was considered to be quite a coup for the Red Devils when they&nbsp;lured him away from Arsenal during the January transfer window. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/man-utds-negative-football-doesnt-suit-sanchez-he-will-be/9m3p5bwup8no1nnrh6jhped4o" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>

West Ham have made a final, improved contract offer after Declan Rice turned down an offer of more than&nbsp;£40,000-a-week, according to the <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/09/27/west-ham-make-final-improved-contract-offer-declan-rice-frustration/" target="_blank">Telegraph</a>. The latest, and reportedly final, offer comes after Rice turned down&nbsp;£15,000-a-week plus £20,000 for every Premier League start, and&nbsp;£5,000-a-week rise after every 15 Premier League starts. Rice is holding out for a higher basic salary and fewer add-ons, but despite reports, his contract is not up at the end of the year.&nbsp;

Inter could be among the teams lining up to chase the 'new Skriniar'&nbsp;Joachim Andersen, according to <a href="https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/inter-chase-dortmund-target-labelled-as-the-new-skriniar-84301" target="_blank">Calciomercato</a>. Both Monaco and Borussia Dortmund are considered front runners for the Sampdoria&nbsp;defender, who is valued around&nbsp;€25 million. However, that number could rise if his strong performances continue and Inter may rely on their past experience with&nbsp;Milan&nbsp;Skriniar himself, who played at Sampdoria before his transfer to San Siro, to justify a move.&nbsp;

Newcastle have not abandoned hope that they will be able to keep Rafa Benitez beyond the season and are rejecting replacements offered to them, according to the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-give-fans-hope-rafa-13320120" target="_blank">Mirror</a>. Benitez has butted heads with owner Mike Ashley over transfer policy, and as it stands now, the manager is likely to depart at the end of the season. However, that would drastically cut the financial valuation of the club, which is putting increasing pressure on Ashley to come to a long-term agreement with Benitez.&nbsp;

Newcastle hope Benitez will stay

Mauricio Pochettino insisted there is no single correct approach to managing player relationships following criticism of Jose Mourinho's handling of&nbsp;Paul Pogba. Manchester United&nbsp;boss Mourinho and his star midfielder shared a&nbsp;frosty exchange in training in front of media on Wednesday, fueling further&nbsp;talk of a&nbsp;deepening rift between the pair. Pochettino has defended the way it is being handled, saying "like in a game" experience, intuition and other factors come into play. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/there-is-not-just-one-solution-pochettino-weighs-in-on/wjon0m34zr801u1tvl8ptwaa2" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Former Premier League midfielder Stephen Ireland is nearing a deal to sign with Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen, according to the <a href="https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3267350/stephen-ireland-aberdeen-transfer-news-free-transfer-closing-in-stoke-city-derek-mcinnes/" target="_blank">Sun</a>. Ireland is a free agent after spending last season with Stoke City, and had a trial with Bolton but did not sign with the Championship club. Borussia Monchengladbach also had talks with Ireland, but after the deal fell through, Aberdeen have held talks with his representatives and hope to do a deal by the end of the month.

Boukary Drame insists he still has the hunger to play in Serie A at the age of 33. The former&nbsp;PSG&nbsp;defender left SPAL at the end of the 2017-18 season, after playing a total of five games for the club, the latest stop in a nomadic career that saw him spend two years with Paris Saint-Germain, along with time at Sochaux, Real Sociedad, Chievo and Atalanta.&nbsp; Depite not having a club, Drame told Goal: "I'm still waiting for a good challenge. My priority is to play again." <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/i-still-have-the-strength-33-year-old-drame-eyes-serie-a/18rrguhukqkqs1gksvzz0c7bhw" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

AC Milan are ready to step up their interest in Cesc Fabregas and make a January move for the Chelsea midfielder, claims <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/premier-league/20180926/452044219894/cesc-chelsea-milan.html" target="_blank">Mundo Deportivo</a>.

Paul Pogba’s “fate is completely sealed” at Manchester United, says Paul Ince, with Jose Mourinho set to offload the troublesome World Cup winner in January. The former Red Devils star told Paddy Power: "I think his fate is completely sealed and he’ll be gone in January. There’s talk of Mourinho going before him, but I’d be disgraced if Ed Woodward allowed that to happen." <a href="http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/pogba-will-be-gone-in-january-ince-believes-midfielders-man/159pow4if025m12qg0iucbcd1x" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Mauro Icardi always intended to remain at Inter over the summer, claims the striker’s agent, with there a desire on his part to follow in the footsteps of club icon Javier Zanetti.
