Manchester United had conferences yesterday, however on the time of writing I’ve no substantial updates on what was mentioned and what it means for the way the membership’s plans are taking form.
It’s a state of affairs to observe hour by hour because it includes many individuals, they’re discussing a number of issues after the poor begin to the season. It consists of the administration, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, they’re discussing all collectively, so in the mean time, whereas I’m penning this, Man United haven’t made any agency resolution but and Erik ten Hag stays the supervisor.
It’s additionally been reported that switch plans for January might have come up on this assembly, however my understanding is that this will probably be their matter in December, not now after simply eight video games for positive.
I’ve additionally been requested a few story involving United and Ollie Watkins in 2023, because it’s been claimed that they determined to not signal the Aston Villa striker, focusing as a substitute on Ramus Hojlund. My info is that that they had a number of choices on the desk, not solely Watkins, however they take into account Hojlund an enormous expertise for the long run with huge potential, so their primary alternative in 2023 was at all times Hojlund.
Was it the fitting resolution? Personally I might not criticise Hojlund – he wants time however he’s proficient and an excellent participant, although it’s most likely true that an skilled striker subsequent to him would have helped United.
Trent Alexander-Arnold stays on the listing at Actual Madrid, whereas we’re additionally ready for vital updates on his potential new contract with Liverpool, together with teammates Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.
All three gamers are speaking with Liverpool, discussing with Liverpool, so let’s wait and see how this negotiation will go. It’s not simply concerning the wage, but additionally the size of the contract, and likewise the challenge and the route Liverpool are going. These will all be mentioned, so we’ll have to attend to see the way it develops.
I preserve getting numerous questions on Alexander-Arnold particularly, and it stays the case that Actual Madrid preserve following the state of affairs. Actual Madrid are very nicely knowledgeable, nevertheless it’s nonetheless not superior when it comes to any negotiations, as a result of the participant’s precedence is to debate with Liverpool.
Elsewhere, there are constructive updates as Jarell Quansah has signed a brand new contract, and negotiations have additionally began with Ibrahima Konate. He’s pleased at Liverpool and Arne Slot is pleased with him, so it’s wanting constructive, and Liverpool are ready to supply him an vital contract with an improved wage, which is clearly one thing Konate will look on in a constructive means.
Below new director Richard Hughes, Liverpool are decided to keep away from conditions just like the contracts of Salah, Van Dijk and Alexander-Arnold taking place once more – vital gamers need to type out their contracts as quickly as doable, so that is what’s going to occur with Konate, following the deal being executed for Quansah.
With the Salah state of affairs being what it’s, we’re unsurprisingly seeing numerous Liverpool switch rumours about new wingers. It’s true that they’re watching a number of gamers, however I don’t have any concrete updates but on particular targets, regardless of the hyperlinks with Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi and West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus.
Juventus needed Adeyemi final summer time, however since that second when Karim determined to remain at Dortmund, nothing concrete occurred. We’ll see what occurs sooner or later, however for now I believe it’s too early to be speaking about him and Liverpool.
Equally, with Kudus and Liverpool there may be at the moment nothing concrete to report. There will probably be 100 hyperlinks per day on Liverpool with Salah out of contract however Liverpool usually are not in discussions or planning any transfer but, it’s only a second the place they discover the market and nonetheless speak to Salah concerning the contract. So nothing actually concrete on Kudus now, it’s not an October/November matter for positive.
Lastly on Liverpool, some followers have been asking me for perception into how Arne Slot has made such a robust begin after the large problem of changing Jurgen Klopp. It’s definitely been an excellent appointment – Slot has an excellent feeling with the gamers, but additionally he’s typically a really humble man, and this was appreciated within the dressing room and likewise among the many new administrators.
Aside from that, he’s after all superb tactically, this isn’t new as already at Feyenoord we might see that he was a wonderful supervisor, however the way in which he’s entered Liverpool’s world has been actually appreciated. This was most likely the key of this glorious begin.
Following the information of Paul Pogba having his drug ban lowered from 4 years to eighteen months, I needed to make clear as soon as once more that it seems to be to be over between him and Juventus. I can affirm that either side have determined to half methods, and now a proper negotiation will observe to terminate his contract.
Pogba feels he wants a recent begin after this troublesome interval, and Juventus additionally wish to transfer on. They’re specializing in totally different gamers, notably younger gamers on this new challenge beneath new supervisor Thiago Motta, so it’s over between Juve and Pogba, and his contract will probably be terminated, making him a free agent.
Pogba stays actually formidable – he needs to play, he needs to be again with the French nationwide crew, so let’s see which membership will resolve to present him an opportunity within the months forward.
It’s been a extremely robust begin to the season for Chelsea and I believe Enzo Maresca deserves credit score after his arrival this summer time in what was not the simplest second. Mauricio Pochettino had additionally executed nicely in the direction of the top of final season, however the membership determined to go in a unique route, although it now seems to be prefer it’s proved to be a sensible name, even on an inexperienced identify in his first Premier League job.
I’m informed that Maresca is having an excellent affect on these gamers on the tactical perspective, and likewise the outcomes of which have clearly been good. However most vital half is the sensation he created with the gamers; they’re all very pleased with Maresca, how direct and clear he’s, additionally the followers are appreciating that and you’ll really feel a unique environment at Stamford Bridge this season.
Full credit score to Maresca for the job he’s executed to date – the beginning has been glorious however this challenge is clearly a long run one, so there may nonetheless be a number of ups and downs, however let’s give him time to proceed his spectacular work.
