Speaking exclusively on the Beast Mode Podcast following his PFA Players' Player of the Year triumph, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes shared a hilarious story about his son's favourite footballer. In a conversation with host and boyhood Liverpool fan Adebayo Akinfenwa, the Portuguese playmaker confessed his shock at discovering that his own child would prefer to emulate Reds midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, with Fernandes also opening up on his pride at claiming the all-time Premier League assists record.
Dominik Szoboszlai is considered to be Liverpool captain material, as the potential heir to Virgil van Dijk at Anfield, but Reds legend Ray Houghton has highlighted to GOAL the selection mistake that Andoni Iraola and Co must avoid when it comes to the all-action Hungarian. Szoboszlai has seen his versatility put to good use across three seasons on Merseyside.

Dominik Szoboszlai felt Liverpool should have claimed all three points despite needing his dramatic 99th-minute penalty to rescue a 2-2 draw against Newcastle on Sunday. The midfielder held his nerve from the spot in front of a hostile St James' Park crowd after strikes from Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock put the hosts on the brink of an opening-day win.
Dominik Szoboszlai has played down a public confrontation with Liverpool team-mate Curtis Jones, insisting there is no lingering animosity between the pair following a heated exchange during the club’s pre-season tour. The Hungarian midfielder was spotted in a visible disagreement with the academy graduate following a friendly victory over Wrexham, leading to intense speculation regarding a rift in the dressing room.
Liverpool are close to tying Dominik Szoboszlai to a new long-term contract after reaching an outline agreement with the Hungary international. The midfielder, who has become one of the club's standout performers since arriving from RB Leipzig, is expected to remain a key figure under new head coach Andoni Iraola.
We are now just hours away from the start of the 2026 World Cup finals in the United States, Canada and Mexico, with all 48 teams having made their way to North America with dreams of glory driving them. All of the pre-qualifying favourites made it safely through, including Spain, Brazil, England, France and defending champions Argentina.
Liverpool have a new manager. Just over a year after Arne Slot led the Reds to a record-equalling 20th English championship, the Dutchman has been replaced in the dugout by Andoni Iraola. The change of coach has already lifted spirits around Anfield after a disastrous Premier League title defence that featured 12 defeats, while Liverpool were also hammered at home by Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, humiliated by Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals and swept aside by Paris Saint-Germain in the last eight of the Champions League.
