Manchester United have considered a move to appoint former Liverpool sporting director Julian Ward under Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The last few days have been dramatic for United fans as the club’s ownership has taken centre stage in the international break. Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim has completely backed away from the race to buy United having failed to agree a deal with the Glazer family. That means that a total takeover now appears to be off the table, which is a huge source of disappointment for United supporters. Instead, the Glazers look set to sell a 25% stake to Sir Jim Ratcliffe in…
According to 90min, Liverpool and Manchester United sent scouts to watch Goncalo Inacio in international action as interest piles up in the 22-year-old Sporting CP defender. The report states the Reds’ talent-spotters were in Zenica last night to watch Portugal thrash Bosnia and Herzegovina 5-0. And it seems like Liverpool’s latest scouting trip was a success, with the centre-back putting in a solid display whilst grabbing himself an assist during the rout. Widely regarded to be one of the best young defenders in Europe, the 22-year-old broke into the Sporting first-team in 2020 and has rapidly become one of the…
Manchester United could reportedly drop their interest in signing Goncalo Inacio, with Liverpool scouting the defender this week. According to journalist Graeme Bailey, the Red Devils might soon move on from the Portuguese international due to Inacio being a left-footed player. United spent big last year to sign Lisandro Martinez, who has since made the left-central defensive spot his own since reuniting with Erik Ten Hag at Old Trafford. As a result, Liverpool could be favourites to sign Inacio, with the Reds keen to sign a young defender in January to add to their ranks going into 2024. Bailey said:…
Liverpool are waiting for the results of scans on Andy Robertson’s dislocated shoulder amid fears the left-back may require an operation. Robertson suffered the damage shortly before half-time in Scotland’s 2-0 Euro 2024 qualifying defeat in Spain last Thursday when he challenged with home goalkeeper Unai Simon. The left-back was immediately substituted and subsequently returned to Merseyside for the extent of the damage to be ascertained. Now the Reds are poised to discover whether the 29-year-old will require an operation to repair the damage, which would rule him out for a significantly lengthy period as Jurgen Klopp’s side continue to…

Robertson has returned to Merseyside for treatment after a nasty fall under Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon left him with a suspected dislocated shoulder. The severity of his injury remains to be seen, with potential surgery likely ruling him out for the remainder of the year, though the hope is that his layoff will be much shorter. After scans and allowing the issue to settle, Liverpool will be able to determine how long their left-back is expected out. As it stands, Clarke is unsure if he will have his captain available for Scotland’s two games against Georgia on November 16 and…
Chelsea pushed Armando Broja to leave the Albania squad and return to the club during this international break. That is according to journalist Simon Phillips. Armando Broja is not currently injured despite having to leave the Albania set-up, but Phillips has stated on Si Phillips Talks Chelsea that the Blues encouraged him to come back to Cobham because he was fatigued and still not fully match fit. Chelsea supporters were initially given a scare when Albania manager Sylvinho told the media that Broja would miss his side’s game against the Czech Republic. “As for Broja, I have to…
Chelsea star Christopher Nkunku has hailed teammate and compatriot Benoit Badiashile following the defender’s injury update ahead of his return to the Chelsea senior squad. It’s possible that the France international will be fit for the clash with Arsenal this weekend although it’ll no doubt be touch-and-go over his inclusion. The star is yet to play under Mauricio Pochettino, having missed all of Chelsea’s first eight league games with his issue but has returned to full-team training in the past few weeks. Having started ten of his 11 Premier League appearances towards the end of last season, Badiashile cemented his…
You have to feel for both Scotland and Liverpool after both teams suffered their second injury blow in a short space of time. Promising youngster Ben Doak was, sadly, the latest casualty of the international break, with a statement from Scottish FA’s website reading: “Ben Doak and Dire Mebude will both miss out on Tuesday night through injury.” Steve Clarke’s men are set to take on France in a friendly clash ahead of the return of domestic football at the weekend having already secured qualification for the European Championship in 2024. It’s another gutting blow, though we can only hope that the undefined…
Liverpool will be gearing up to reignite their season as they host the Merseyside derby on Saturday. While international breaks are often a momentum killer, the October round of international fixtures actually came as something of a blessing to Reds fans, who had just watched the team pick up one point from two league games, off the back of a superb start to the season in all competitions. There aren’t many bigger fixtures to mark the return to Premier League football than a Merseyside derby at Anfield, and that is exactly what supporters are getting, as Liverpool face Everton in the early kick off…
