Ittihad Ben Hmed Overview

Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery has left new £25 million signing Taylor Harwood-Bellis out of his 25-man Champions League squad. The 24-year-old defender, who is the son-in-law of Manchester United legend Roy Keane, joined from Southampton on deadline day but faces a waiting game for top-tier European action despite expressing his eagerness to perform on the continent's biggest stage.

Manchester United have submitted their official Premier League squad for the 2026-27 season, but Kobbie Mainoo is a glaring omission. However, there is no need for fans to panic, as his absence is simply down to league registration rules.

Rasmus Hojlund has not held back in his assessment of Ruben Amorim’s disastrous tenure at Manchester United, claiming that the entire squad "suffered" under the Portuguese tactician. The Danish international recently completed a permanent move to Napoli, ending a difficult spell at Old Trafford that saw the club take a significant financial hit on his initial investment.
