Football transfer rumours: Nemanja Matic to join United exodus to Inter?

Today’s tell-all is bracing itself for a reckoning

Ole Gunnar Solskjær remains at the Manchester United wheel but the Norwegian’s gamble on beginning the season with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood as his main striking options has rather backfired, the upshot being that 17-year-old Greenwood is the only one of the trio available for Monday night’s match against Arsenal.

Having failed to lure Mario Mandzukic to Old Trafford during the summer, Solskjær will now ramp up his efforts to sign the Croatian in January. Unwanted at Juventus, Mandzukic had been in talks with the Qatari side Al Rayyan, but it has now become apparent he will not be joining them. Should United be unsuccessful in their efforts to land the 33-year-old this time around, they may turn their attention to the Lyon striker Moussa Dembélé instead. The Old Trafford outfit continue to be linked with Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, although the Rumour Mill can think of no earthly reason why such a talented youngster would entertain the notion of leaving his current employers to take up with a club that is fast approaching basket case status.

Then came the moment, with fireworks being wedged into the tops of milk bottles, at the beginning of stoppage time, when Nick Pope was finally forced into some sort of movement to deny Timothy Castagne, to make sure it did happen. It came after one of the Newcastle keeper’s slowest days of the season, after what had often resembled a half-pitch, beat-the-packed-defence training exercise against a Leicester team largely too meek to threaten Geordie dreams.

Richarlison’s first Tottenham goals punish Marseille for Mbemba’s red card

By -
There was the obligatory pre-match footage of Lucas Moura’s winner at Ajax and then the declaration on the big screen at Tottenham’s magnificent stadium, one that is built to stage these kind of Champions League nights. “We’re back.” For so long, it appeared that the grand return after a two-season absence would fall flat, even when Marseille were reduced to ten men in the 47th minute following Chancel Mbemba’s last-man foul on Son Heung-min. It was a dreadful misjudgment by the former Newcastle centre-half.
