Ruben Amorim has admitted that he knew Manchester United would "struggle" in certain matches during the 2024-25 campaign.

Former Manchester United manager Ron Atkinson has leapt to the defence of Bruno Fernandes, insisting the midfielder is unfairly criticised and would be just as effective as Kevin De Bruyne had he joined Manchester City instead of the Red Devils.

Arsenal may be forced into a late defensive reshuffle as Jakub Kiwior weighs up his future at the Emirates. Mikel Arteta is eager to retain the centre-back, but the player is reportedly seeking more regular minutes and is open to a move before the summer window closes.
