Former Manchester United team-mates Rasmus Hojlund and Scott McTominay showed how well they are getting on away from Old Trafford at Napoli as they attended a Halloween party together.

Spain's anti-violence commission have recommended a Real Oviedo supporter is fined £3,521 (€4,000/$4,625) for allegedly directing racist abuse towards Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford. The incident is alleged to have taken place during the Spanish champions' 3-1 victory over Oviedo in La Liga on 25 September - a match in which the Manchester United loanee recorded an assist.
Real Madrid are leading the race for Marc Guehi as the La Liga leaders are reportedly "confident" of beating Liverpool to complete the free signing of the Crystal Palace captain. The 25-year-old centre-back is out of contract at the end of the current season, and with Palace unable to convince him to stay, Guehi has emerged as one of Europe’s most in-demand free agents. The Reds tried their best to get him to Merseyside, but their attempts failed flat on their face after Palace chairman Steve Parish chose to shut the door on the transfer in the 11th hour.
Senne Lammens has made a bold claim that he isn't "afraid" of Andre Onana's Manchester United legacy, with the Belgian goalkeeper is preparing for the long haul at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have had a couple of legends between the sticks at the Theatre of Dreams, such as Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar. Many might make a case for David de Gea as well, but most will concur that the Spaniard was the last of the goalkeeping stars. With Onana, a sharp decline started as United slipped to horrifying depths, with the Cameroonian committing several costly mistakes, which saw him shipped out on loan to Trabzonspor.
Shortly before the coronavirus pandemic forced the world into lockdown in December 2019, Tottenham recorded and released a video of their first-team players driving academy kids to training.

Along the way, the Brazil international had some words of wisdom for the child.
Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche has blamed the media for twisting his quotes on Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim to make them "clickbait" and insisted that he "didn't question him as a person".

With the title race having already swung back and forth while the top-four and relegation battles are as open as they have been for a few years, the Premier League is becoming increasingly difficult to predict.

Manchester United are expected to lose both Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo when the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off in December. The tournament, which takes place in Morocco, starts over the festive period and runs until mid-January.

Liverpool have been dealt another piece of concerning news, as it has been reported that Jeremie Frimpong will be ruled out for six weeks following the hamstring injury he picked up at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. The Reds' £29.5million summer signing has already spent time out injured and started just one Premier League game as a result, and his latest hamstring issue will keep him out for the near future.
Santiago Gimenez’s goal drought in Serie A has forced AC Milan to consider reinforcements ahead of the January window. The Mexico international hasn't been able to find the net in any of the opening nine games of the tournament, prompting CEO Giorgio Furlani and sporting director Igli Tare to start scouting alternatives. Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee has re-emerged as a prime target, while Roma’s Artem Dovbyk remains a fallback option if talks stall.
Liverpool have been warned that Florian Wirtz could leave in January, as Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso is keeping tabs on his former Bayer Leverkusen apprentice. The German arrived at Anfield amid huge fanfare this summer for a staggering £116 million ($153m). The 22-year-old was supposed to be the creative spark to define Arne Slot’s new era.

Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox has spoken about the club's continued need to invest in new players ahead of the January transfer window, as they seek to drive standards on and off the pitch following three successive Premier League wins. Approaching one year since Ruben Amorim was appointed as head coach, the Red Devils have taken strides in the right direction but Wilcox reiterated that there is still a way to go.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes revealed his "biggest regret in football" that curiously involves former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Despite lifting 25 major trophies, including 11 Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns, Scholes confessed that his biggest regret wasn’t a missed shot or a lost final.

Ange Postecoglou's reported stance on the Celtic job offer has been revealed after Brendan Rodgers sensationally quit the club after just nine games of the season. Having returned to Glasgow in June 2023 for his second spell, the Northern Irishman’s reign ended abruptly, in the aftermath of a crushing 3-1 defeat to Hearts. The loss left the Hoops eight points adrift of the Premiership leaders, a gap that proved too much for Rodgers to continue fighting.
Alejandro Garnacho has been sent a stern warning by Argentina World Cup winner Oscar Ruggeri and been told what he must do to earn a recall to the national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner hit back fiercely at suggestions that his side’s 3-0 Carabao Cup demolition of Liverpool came against a weakened team, insisting it would be "disrespectful" to the players Arne Slot fielded at Anfield. The Eagles booked their spot in the fifth round thanks to a first-half brace from Ismaila Sarr and a clinical late strike from Yeremy Pino, as Palace ran riot in front of a stunned Kop. While Liverpool fielded an inexperienced lineup, Glasner refused to let that diminish his team’s victory, claiming the Reds’ squad was still full of world-class quality.
