Inter Miami have rallied around their club captain Lionel Messi following the tragic passing of his father, Jorge, who died in Argentina at the age of 68. The team honoured him during their recent Leagues Cup match, with players and staff offering emotional tributes as the forward returns to Rosario.
Manchester United's new signing Andrey Santos has thrown down the gauntlet, insisting he is ready to fill the massive void left by his compatriot Casemiro. The young midfielder arrived at Old Trafford from Chelsea in a deal worth up to £50 million this summer, marking a significant shift in the club's recruitment strategy under Michael Carrick.
