Alexander Isak's debut has been delayed as Liverpool left the new signing out of their matchday squad to face Burnley on Sunday amid the striker's fitness concerns. Isak, who joined Liverpool for a British record £125m fee on deadline day, hardly trained during pre-season with Newcastle. Arne Slot named the same starting lineup that beat Arsenal in their last game.
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.

Former Burnley skipper Josh Brownhill has turned his back on English football after sealing a surprise move to Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Shabab.

Manchester City are all set to splash a whopping £500,000 to sign 14-year-old wonderkid from Burnley.

Bryan Mbeumo and captain Bruno Fernandes were on target for United, while Josh Cullen's own goal gave them the lead in the first half.
Ruben Amorim issues another apology to disgruntled Manchester United fans in an incredibly brief 95-word programme notes ahead of their Burnley clash. The Portuguese coach, already skating on thin ice after the midweek Carabao Cup embarrassment at League Two minnows Grimsby, used his platform to plead for unity.
