Rasmus Hojlund could reportedly join Scott McTominay at Napoli after Manchester United agreed a deal with the Serie A giants. The deal is said to involve a season-long loan, with a €44million (£38m/$51.4m) obligation to buy, coupled with a loan fee, should Napoli secure Champions League qualification. However, the young striker, still 22, has not yet committed to the move.

Thomas Tuchel had a "difficult" phone call with Trent Alexander-Arnold to inform the defender of the England axe with the Three Lions boss keen to make squad "more spicy".

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. But for many at Old Trafford, his words will ring hollow after yet another night of humiliation for a club already teetering on the brink.

Real Betis have put out a statement confirming that they have pulled out of Antony transfer unless Manchester United shell out an exit fee or the player lowers his salary demands. The La Liga side sensationally walked away from a deal just hours after a transfer package worth £21.6 million ($29m) had been agreed. Betis admitted they couldn’t afford the astronomical financial demands tied to the agreement with United.

His arrival comes at a crucial moment for Eddie Howe’s squad, with Anthony Gordon suspended and Isak’s future hanging by a thread.

Manchester United have been told to bring back club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following his sacking from Besiktas. Solskjaer has barely had time to catch his breath after being shown the door at Besiktas, but his name is already dominating headlines in Manchester. The 52-year-old was dismissed by the Turkish giants after crashing out of the Conference League play-offs at the hands of Lausanne.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has been dropped by England boss Thomas Tuchel for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers but the likes of Adam Wharton and Djed Spence have earned a call-up. The Three Lions face Andorra at Villa Park on September 6 before travelling to Serbia on September 9, and Tuchel has taken a brave call by omitting the star right-back.

Kobbie Mainoo reportedly wants a transfer to Napoli, but Manchester United are blocking an exit due to the success of Scott McTominay. A £50 million ($67m) deal is being discussed and the Italian champions are ready to offer a four-year deal for the youngster.

Liverpool are reportedly ready to submit a British-record £130 million ($175m) bid for Alexander Isak as Newcastle close in on Nick Woltemade as a replacement.

Fermin Lopez reportedly wants to stay at Barcelona as the Blaugrana demand €90 million (£78m/$105m) from Chelsea to consider selling the midfielder. The Blues launched a €50m (£43m/$58m) opening bid only to be met with outright resistance from the Catalan giants. The 22-year-old midfielder remains firmly committed to continuing at Camp Nou, even as the Premier League side dangles eye-watering financial incentives in front of him.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has broken his silence on the future of star defender Marc Guehi, who is at the centre of a transfer storm just days before the window slams shut.

Ruben Amorim is reportedly being questioned by an unhappy Manchester United dressing room as some players believe he will even quit if results continue this way.

Several players believe the Portuguese tactician might not survive the international break if results don’t change, with fears he could walk away rather than alter his footballing principles.

Manchester United have reportedly rejected Kobbie Mainoo's request for a loan move before transfer deadline. The 20-year-old midfielder, hailed as one of the club’s brightest homegrown prospects, wants regular minutes and not a season warming the bench.

Tottenham have reportedly sent a bid close to €70 million (£60m/$82m) for RB Leipzig star, Xavi Simons, as Thomas Frank's side aim to beat Chelsea to the Netherlands international.

Ian Wright believes that "God" intervened to help Arsenal snatch Eberechi Eze from Tottenham as the former Crystal Palace star pivoted to join the Gunners at the 11th hour.
