This Sunday, Manchester United will kick off their 2025–26 Premier League campaign against Arsenal. In that context, they’ve made a striking call concerning Rasmus Hojlund, who has long been rumored as a potential signing for AC Milan, where he would link up with Christian Pulisic. Shortly before the match against the Gunners at Old Trafford, head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed United’s starting lineup — and one detail immediately caught the attention of fans: Hojlund was not included in the starting XI or even on the bench, signaling how little of a role the coach appears to have in mind for…
AC Milan’s sporting director Igli Tare has confirmed that Rasmus Hojlund is an option that the management are exploring. As we approach the final part of the summer transfer window, the big gap in Milan’s squad is in the centre-forward role, at least in the eyes of the coach and directors. Hojlund is the main name being linked, though there seems to be some doubts about whether he will give the green light. Elsewhere, Tare has nearly completely rebuild the midfield after Tijjani Reijnders was sold. Samuele Ricci, Luka Modric and Ardon Jashari have all arrived. Zachary Athekame and Pervis…
An apparent injury to Rafael Leão made it a bittersweet season debut for AC Milan as the Portugal winger and United States international Christian Pulisic both scored in a 2-0 win over Serie B side Bari in the opening round of the Italian Cup on Sunday. Leão appeared to injure his right calf after celebrating his headed goal early on and had to be substituted. Pulisic, meanwhile, followed up a shot off the crossbar in the first half by finishing off an exchange with Santiago Gimenez — who came on for Leão — shortly after the break at the San…
AC Milan clinched a comfortable 2-0 win in their first competitive game of the 2025-26 season. Christian Pulisic was one of the key players and below are the ratings for the Rossoneri. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out how we decide the player ratings. From the scale to what affects the rating, we have compiled everything there. Starting XI Maignan (7): The captain was forced to a very good save, and I mean a very good save, as Sibili tried his luck from distance and fired a rocket towards goal. Aside from that, he wasn’t really tested that…
Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres made their competitive debuts for Manchester United and Arsenal respectively at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Premier League clash saw the Sweden international start for Arsenal following his £64m move from Sporting Lisbon – playing 60 minutes – whereas the Slovenia international came on for Manchester United in the 65th minute and had 31 minutes to make an impact. Ruben Amorim gave the new Manchester United No.30 just over half the game time that Mikel Arteta handed the Swede, but he still managed to take two shots at goal. Furthermore, Sesko completed four successful passes…
In Arsenal’s opening Premier League match of the season, Mikel Arteta opted to start Viktor Gyokeres against Manchester United. Before the match, Theo Walcott expected Arsenal to start Kai Havertz – he was convinced that Arteta would ease Viktor Gyokeres into things. However, the Arsenal manager decided to be big and bold at Old Trafford – Ruben Amorim’s former striker was thrown straight into the deep end. And whilst Gyokeres proved his strength in shielding the ball against United’s defence, particularly against Mathijs de Ligt, he did lack a bit of finesse to his general play. Of course, Gyokeres was…
Arsenal beat Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday afternoon as Mikel Arteta opened the campaign with victory at Old Trafford. Arsenal will be right in the Premier League title picture once again this season and saw both Liverpool and Manchester City pick up victories on the opening weekend. Liverpool and City opened with four-goal showings, but Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Manchester United featured a little less attacking quality. Riccardo Calafiori bagged the only goal of the game, nodding home from close range after Altay Bayindir flapped at Declan Rice’s corner. Arsenal didn’t look particularly fluent going forward and had to withstand…
Viktor Gyokeres failed to make an impact for Arsenal on his Premier League debut. The £64m signing from Sporting CP played 60 minutes at Old Trafford before Mikel Arteta opted to introduce Kai Havertz, having been unable to register a shot against Manchester United. Benjamin Sesko recorded two efforts in just 31 minutes and also matched the Sweden international’s tally of four passes. Discussing Viktor Gyokeres on Sky Sports after the match, Daniel Sturridge and Micah Richards completely agreed on why the Arsenal No.14 struggled. The pair believe the Swede just needs time to adapt to his new teammates –…
Martin Zubimendi made his Premier League debut for Arsenal against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. With all eyes on Viktor Gyokeres – and also Benjamin Sesko when the £74m man came on – the Spaniard almost slipped under the radar following his £55.8m move from Real Sociedad. This potentially helped Martin Zubimendi deliver the composed display which fired Arsenal to a 1-0 win, and Mikel Arteta was impressed with his fellow countryman after a successful Premier League debut. When asked by BBC Sport what he thought of his two debutants, BBC Sport quote the 43-year-old as saying: “Very…
Man United’s expensively-assembled new forward line drew a blank as Arsenal began their quest for the Premier League title by grinding out a 1-0 win at Old Trafford on Sunday. Arsenal left back Riccardo Calafiori scored the only goal after the Italian defender pounced on a huge mistake by Man United’s stand-in goalkeeper Altay Bayindir. Man United have splashed out £200 million ($271 million) on new forwards to remedy a lack of punch in the final third. Despite promising debuts, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo failed to find the net, while substitute Benjamin Sesko could not make Arsenal pay for…
