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. Nobody would have anticipated this time last year that Forest would continue to hold their place in the Premier League table in the race for European football after their 7-0 thumping of Brighton on Saturday.

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…
After going on loan to Real Betis, Manchester United winger Antony has spoken out about a possible permanent move away from the team. In the January transfer window, the Brazilian, who paid £86 million to join United in 2022, finished a six-month loan to the Spanish team. His status as an outcast player was highlighted by the fact that he had only started one Europa League game and none in the Premier League prior to that. His 96-game total of 12 goals and 5 assists was an astonishing return on an amazing investment. He was connected to a permanent and…
After leaving his sphere of influence at Sporting in November, Ruben Amorim has had nothing short of a nightmarish start to his reign at Manchester United. With only 29 points, 28 goals, and a -6 goal differential from 24 games, United is sagging in 13th place in the Premier League. In his first 13 league games as manager, Amorim has experienced seven defeats, which is more than in his final 75 games as Sporting manager. After a respectable draw against Liverpool, United appeared to be turning things around when they eliminated Arsenal from the FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium.…
Similar to his predecessor Erik ten Hag the previous season, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has had difficulty at the left wingback position. Luke Shaw is still out, and the Portuguese would be foolish to have too much faith in him considering his dismal injury record. After a rough one-and-half years, Tyrell Malacia has left for PSV Eindhoven on loan. Patrick Dorgu is anticipated to take over starting Friday’s FA Cup match against Leicester City after the experiment with using Diogo Dalot as a temporary left wingback failed horribly. However, Amorim is also watching for young players through the…
It is an incredibly proud moment for Nottingham Forest to have the City Ground being lined up to host an England international fixture. And perhaps further down the line, more such prestigious occasions will follow. When the stadium redevelopment is eventually completed, there is no reason why it cannot open plenty of other similar doors for the Red Details are still being finalised for Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions to play Senegal in a friendly on the banks of the Trent on June 10. If all goes to plan, it would be the first time the City Ground has hosted an…
Newcastle United’s game plan started long before the game kicked off with an elaborate warm-up act catching out Mikel Arteta Gary Neville was caught napping by Newcastle United’s tactics in the Carabao Cup shoot out against Arsenal. The former England and Manchester United star was working as a pundit for Sky Sports and made a note of Newcastle’s warm-up as Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman and Dan Burn, as a left-back, acted out a fake warm-up exercise. But when the teams emerged for the game, Newcastle instead lined up with a five-man defensive rearguard that included Lewis Hall as…
Liverpool go into the Carabao Cup semi final one goal behind Tottenham and Gary Neville does not think that the Reds can make it to Wembley. Asked to predict how the match will pan out on The Overlap US, the 49-year-old said: “I think Tottenham. I think Tottenham are going to get a draw. “I don’t know how they’re going to get a draw at Anfield, but I feel like it’s going to be an emotional, mad night where something happens.” “Postecoglou said earlier on in the season… I’m maybe not hanging my hat on what he’s saying entirely, but…
