John Obi Mikel has urged Manchester United to hand Unai Emery "the f***ing keys" and an open chequebook to tempt him away from Aston Villa. The former Chelsea midfielder would choose Emery over Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann, the two men most often linked with the job, with Michael Carrick still in charge despite leaving the Red Devils 16th in the Premier League.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca has offered his full support to Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi following a difficult week for the defensive duo. The Italian shot-stopper and England international have both faced heavy scrutiny after high-profile errors contributed to City losing their perfect start to the Premier League season against Aston Villa.
