Following Wednesday’s 2-0 win at Coventry City, Leeds United moved five points clear of the Championship leaders, and Daniel Farke emphasized the significance of keeping his squad fresh. Fortunately for a coach eager to exorcise the ghosts of last season’s play-off defeat, Leeds United have a roster that most second-tier managers can only dream of. Willy Gnonto and Largie Ramazani started on the bench at Coventry, with Dan James and Manor Solomon in the XI. This, as they say, is the type of greed discussed in the Bible. Joe Rothwell was benched in favor of Ilia Gruev in the West…

Every successful Rangers team has had a core of Scottish players, and Philippe Clement’s club may have a more local flavour next season. Lyall Cameron has already been signed, and if Patrick Stewart’s new recruitment strategy includes Nils Koppen, he will not be the last SPFL local to join the squad. The highest-profile player to be linked is Lennon Miller, whom the Rangers manager would have to spend a significant portion of his transfer budget to sign, given the latest news on the teenage sensation. Motherwell rejected a record bid for Lennon Miller. According to The Sun, Motherwell rejected a…

According to Paul, Newcastle United thoroughly deserved to beat Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final. The Magpies faced Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final, and Newcastle United won. Newcastle defeated Arsenal 2-0 on the night, and Eddie Howe’s side is heading to Wembley Stadium. This meant the Magpies won 4-0 on aggregate. They were dominant over two legs, with Newcastle fans mocking Mikel Arteta for his comments regarding the ball at the Emirates Stadium. Newcastle have now faced Arsenal three times this season, winning all three games without surrendering a single goal. That demonstrates Eddie Howe’s tactical brilliance, but it…
Cyriel Dessers was constantly linked with a move away from Rangers throughout the winter transfer window. Cagliari was one of the teams vying to sign the 30-year-old from the Gers before the 3 February deadline (Corriere Dello Sport, 27 January). Given his paucity of playing time at Ibrox this season, it’s not surprise that Dessers has been linked with another move. Cyriel Dessers agent makes ‘interesting’ transfer allegation. Keith Jackson finds it “interesting” that the Bears only wanted to sell Dessers in the middle of the season. Stijn Francis, the former Cremonese centre-forward’s agent, recently told Sporza, via voetbalnieuws, that…
Nuno Espirito Santo and Nottingham Forest’s ascent up the league this season has been made the more delightful by the numerous questions around their abilities.

Marcus Rashford had a turbulent January transfer window; following a protracted and difficult negotiating process, the Manchester United attacker eventually secured a loan move to Aston Villa. The 27-year-old, who had openly stated his desire for a new challenge away from his boyhood club, saw the decision as the end of a difficult chapter at Old Trafford. A Broken Connection with Amorim A string of incidents that revealed the escalating hostility between Rashford and United head coach Ruben Amorim precipitated the player’s resignation. Rashford was removed from the Manchester derby matchday squad by the Portuguese manager, who expressed dissatisfaction…
Marcus Rashford has left Manchester United for Aston Villa, and Ruben Amorim says he’s relieved the former Manchester United forward won’t dominate his news appearances. Ruben Amorim acknowledges that he is “thankful” that Unai Emery can finally answer questions about the Manchester United loanee and that he is happy that the drama surrounding Marcus Rashford’s future is finished. The forward will spend the rest of the season at Aston Villa, where they still have a chance to finish in the top four, after leaving Old Trafford late in the transfer window. After it became apparent that Rashford had no future…
Given that this season is probably going to be Casemiro and Christian Eriksen’s last one in red, Manchester United needs to make a midfield overhaul next summer. Ruben Amorim hasn’t given the Brazilian many opportunities, citing his lack of effort as the reason for his cameo against FCSB, which was his first appearance in more than a month. The Dane has started consecutive Europa League games, although the head coach seems amenable to his exit during the winter transfer window, and there are no intentions to offer him a new contract before it expires in the summer. Adam Wharton of…
