27-year-old Tottenham player would “seriously consider” a move to Real Madrid or Barca
Pedro Porro could reportedly be tempted to leave Tottenham Hotspur for Barcelona or Real Madrid, despite only recently committing his long-term future to the north London club. The 27-year-old signed a new Spurs contract running until 2031, but interest from Spain’s two biggest clubs appears to have complicated the picture. Want more CaughtOffside coverage?

“I can’t lie” ex-Arsenal & Chelsea man Cesc Fabregas enjoyed thrashing Man United
Como manager Cesc Fabregas admitted he took some pride in thrashing his old rivals Manchester United in the Champions League last night. Fabregas, who played against Man Utd many times during his career with both Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League, also rather damningly admitted that he asked his players to slow down once […] The post “I can’t lie” ex-Arsenal & Chelsea man Cesc Fabregas enjoyed thrashing Man United appeared first on CaughtOffside .
Attacking duo from Premier League rivals eyed by Man United ahead of January window
Manchester United are tracking Crystal Palace’s attacking duo—winger Ismaïla Sarr and striker Jean‑Philippe Mateta—as potential January signings. Both have Premier League experience, but Mateta (29) may be the more realistic target: his contract expires in 2027, he is reportedly eager to move, and United could secure immediate firepower without a long adaptation period. Sarr, whose deal runs until 2029, remains in contract talks and has attracted interest from United, Newcastle and Sunderland, but Palace’s control could make a deal harder. United’s pursuit signals a shift toward proven league talent ahead of the mid‑season window.
Tielemans gives brutal verdict on what is going wrong at Man United after Como defeat
Midfielder Youri Tielemans delivers a blunt verdict after Manchester United’s 4-1 Champions League loss to Como on October 22, 2026, saying the club’s problems are “everything” – tactical, technical and effort‑related. He warns that no single fix will mend the team’s lack of control, intensity and defensive organisation, and stresses that both manager Michael Carrick and the players must take responsibility. Tielemans’ candid assessment suggests a systemic crisis at Old Trafford, heightening scrutiny on Carrick’s future.
Harry Kane did something “different” that “I’ve never seen” vs Arsenal, says Thierry Henry
Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has heaped praise onto Harry Kane for the intelligent performance he put in for Bayern Munich against the Gunners in last night’s Champions League clash.

“Big coaching talent” becomes favourite for Man United job after Como humiliation
Manchester United is reportedly eyeing Julian Nagelsmann as a replacement for interim boss Michael Carrick after United’s 4-1 Champions League humiliation by Como, which extended their winless streak to seven games. TalkSPORT says the 39‑year‑old, who left Bayern Munich and stepped down from the Germany job post‑World Cup, is high on United’s shortlist, alongside Brighton’s Fabian Hürzeler and Antonio Conte. Klopp once dubbed Nagelsmann a "big, big, big coaching talent" for his aggressive pressing and tactical flexibility, qualities United hopes will restore a clear football identity. While Carrick remains in charge, the club faces mounting pressure to reset amid deeper squad and recruitment issues.

Arsenal and Man United track 23-year-old rival midfielder ahead of potential move
Arsenal and Manchester United are keen on Brighton midfielder Yasin Ayari, the 23‑year‑old Swedish international who has logged 85 games, eight goals and four assists since joining from AIK in January 2023. Both Premier League giants see him as a versatile option to add defensive stability and transitional play, while Brighton aim to extend his contract and have an option to retain him. AC Milan also circles the player, making a summer 2027 move the likely window for any formal bids. Ayari’s rising profile could see a high‑profile Premier League transfer if Brighton’s negotiations stall.
Man United face Liverpool transfer battle for Premier League ace with €65m valuation
Manchester United are eyeing Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr, valued at €65 million, as they hunt attacking reinforcements for the January window. The 28‑year‑old Senegal international, who joined Palace from Marseille in 2024 and helped secure a Conference League title, draws interest from Liverpool and Newcastle United as well. United see his pace, one‑on‑one skill and positional versatility as a boost for their wide areas, but a recent groin injury has hampered his rhythm. Palace, with Sarr under contract until 2029, demand a minimum €65 m and are reluctant to sell, setting up a competitive bidding battle.

Man United could extend Lisandro Martinez’s contract but not for the reason fans might think
Manchester United plan to activate a one‑year extension in Lisandro Martínez’s contract, not to cement his future but to protect the £56 million investment. After a public outburst against senior staff following a 2‑0 Champions League loss to Atlético Madrid and ongoing fitness concerns, United risk losing the 28‑year‑old defender on a free. Extending the deal gives United leverage to command a fee, with clubs like Atlético Madrid reportedly watching. The move signals an exit strategy rather than a long‑term role for Martínez at Old Trafford.

Euro giants set £50m asking price as Arsenal and Man United monitor versatile Brazilian
Arsenal and Manchester United are eyeing Roma's 23‑year‑old Brazilian defender Wesley, a versatile right wing‑back who can also slot into the opposite flank or a four‑man defence.

Roma have set a steep £50 million price tag, which could stall negotiations, while Newcastle’s interest is deemed marginal. The rivals may have to wait until next summer to mount a serious bid.
