Manchester is gearing up for another high-stakes derby in the Women's Super League. Last season's four meetings across three domestic competitions tilted in Manchester United's favour, but City are revitalised under new head coach Andree Jeglertz and have a point to prove after a disappointing 2024-25. Can United help knock City off their perch at the top of the table? Or will City land a lethal blow to United's title aspirations?
Manchester United are increasingly keen to pursue a January transfer window deal for Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo, as first reported in my Daily Briefing exclusive this morning. The Ghana international has been in tremendous form in the Premier League so far this season, contributing a total of six goals and three assists from his first eleven matches. Sources are now claiming that Man Utd want to move fast to see off competition from Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City for the signing of Semenyo this January.
Manchester United are looking to sign the German International midfielder Angelo Stiller from VfB Stuttgart in January. According to a report from Fichajes, the player is valued at 45 million. However, Manchester United are determined to sign him, and they could launch an offer close to 60 million in order to get the deal done. The player is on the radar of Real Madrid as well.
The claims have been made against Billy Watts, who worked at the club's Cliff training ground in the 1980s. He died in 2009. A civil case has been brought by a man who alleges he was abused when he was a child and he accuses the club of failing to protect him from the abuse while he was under their care and supervision.
News of Tullis-Joyce's absence was passed on to United's players on matchday, with Middleton-Patel thrust into one of the club's biggest games this season at short notice. In front of 14,667 at Old Trafford - their biggest crowd this season - she was tasked with keeping out a PSG side who had reached four of the past five semi-finals in the competition.
Man United and Chelsea eyeing Harry Kane Manchester United could use another quality striker and would have been the ideal acquisition. He could have been the mentor for Benjamin Sesko. His arrival would have allowed the Slovenian to continue his development without being put under too much pressure. Chelsea have signed a couple of strikers in the summer, and it is surprising that they are looking to bring in another striker. They should look to invest in the other areas of the squad.
PSG's Joe Echegini curled an effort against the far post in the second minute, but United gradually grew into the game and after Hinata Miyazawa shot wide, they went ahead through Melvine Malard in the 31st minute. Malard outmuscled Griedge Mbock to reach Jayde Riviere's ball up the right touchline, cut inside, then whipped a fine effort beyond former United goalkeeper Mary Earps.
Frenkie de Jong on Premier League offers and life at Barcelona De Jong could undoubtedly be a fine addition to this United squad, and he surely has what it takes to be a big success in the Premier League. Still, the 28-year-old doesn't sound like he's in a hurry to move to Old Trafford or anywhere else, judging by his comments to ESPN, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano ? Frenkie de Jong: Premier League? I don't think so. There have been offers, but I'm happy at Barca.
Appropriate treatment plans would, on the balance of probabilities, have resulted in the claimant avoiding the pain and discomfort set out below and would have resulted in him being able to play professional football at elite level without restriction or impediment. As it is, although he continues to play at an elite level, this has impacted his career and earnings.
Sesko was clearly struggling with his knee and Amorim delivered a concerning update afterwards. "That [his recent form] is not the biggest concern now," Amorim told reporters. "I'm concerned with an injury, because it is in the knee, and I don't know. "We need Ben [Sesko] to be a better team. We have to check. He has something in his knee. Let's see." Potential return date: Unknown

Tony Popovic has declared teenage Manchester United sensation James Overy a chance to make the Socceroos' World Cup squad next year, even though he is yet to play a competitive senior match. The highly-touted full-back only turned 18 on Sunday but is now training regularly with the Premier League club's first team. Popovic selected Overy for this week's friendlies against Venezuela and Colombia as the Socceroos continue to prepare for next year's World Cup in North America.
Following their 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, Amorim admitted there are potential areas for improvement. Particular in the attacking position, where Benjamin Sesko suffered an injury against Tottenham. Although the full extent of the injury is still not known but if the injury turns out to be a serious one for the Red Devils, they would have to step into the market to sign a new attacker.
I don't know, I have to check. My biggest concern is with Ben. For me, they are all the same but we need to understand what happened. When asked specifically if Sesko could be facing a lengthy period on the sidelineds, Amorim said: He has something in his knee, so let's see. We think he has a problem.
The Slovenian had already wasted a couple of opportunities when he suffered an injury three minutes from time chasing down a long ball. It was immediately obvious Sesko could not continue, and as United had already used all five substitutes they had to complete the game, which stood at 1-1, with 10 men. Head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed afterwards Sesko had sustained a knee injury, but did not know how serious it was.
