Challenge League Overview

Paul Scholes has urged Manchester United’s struggling squad to stop performing post-match laps of honour following a dismal start to the season. The club legend branded the routine "embarrassing" as Michael Carrick's side continue to languish in the Premier League relegation zone.

Premier League champions Arsenal and Atletico Madrid could reportedly negotiate a sensational winter swap deal. The proposed move would see midfielder Martin Zubimendi head to the Spanish capital, while forward Julian Alvarez would complete a return to English football with the Gunners.

Arsenal are reportedly weighing up a mid-season move for Bayer Leverkusen striker Christian Kofane as Mikel Arteta looks to sharpen his side's attacking edge. The Gunners have enjoyed a stellar start to the campaign but remain concerned by a lack of clinical finishing in tight matches.

Manchester United have opted against relieving Michael Carrick of his duties despite a disastrous start to the season that has seen the club slump into the Premier League relegation zone. The Old Trafford hierarchy intend to use the current international break to conduct a thorough evaluation of the campaign rather than making a reactive change in the dugout.
