Man United and Arsenal have dispatched scouts to Portugal in recent weeks, eager to evaluate Debast's game in detail. Reports suggest Man United could test Sporting's resolve with a bid in the region of 40 million, though that figure falls well short of the defender's 80 million release clause. Sporting, however, may be open to negotiations below that threshold, given the sizeable 15% sell-on clause owed to Anderlecht, Debast's former club.

Malacia saw a temporary switch to Spanish side Elche collapse late in the window. It left the 26-year-old as the only member of the group exiled from the squad by Ruben Amorim without a transfer. While Malacia has been left in limbo, Alejandro Garnacho has joined Chelsea, Jadon Sancho moved to Aston Villa on loan and Antony returned to Real Betis.

He's great in the press conferences but because he's not winning it's like 'shut up'. Stop speaking, keep your mouth shut. If he was winning we'd all be saying, 'what a character'. There is now a big clamour to get Jose Mourinho back in English football and the reason is because he's box office, he comes out with stuff, but he was a winner.

Fernandes is United's talisman. During the club's disastrous 2024-25 season, when the team finished 15th in the Premier League -- their worst position since being relegated in 1974 -- and lost the Europa League final against Tottenham, the 30-year-old was still able to contribute 19 goals and 19 assists for United. Without those goals and assists, United could have suffered the ultimate ignominy of being relegated to the EFL Championship.

My honest opinion is that you have to look at the jobs that Sean Dyche has done at Burnley, what he did at Everton. He stabilised the club, at least he is going to put structure in there. What Manchester United need right now is structure. That is something they do not have. That's a man that will come in and make the team a lot better than what we are all seeing at the moment.

Further and deeper into the jungle. Taunted by the quivering vines, mocked by the rubber trees, bitten and bruised by the asphyxiating vileness of nature. Ropes groaning, extras muttering, mud and rock resisting. Rasmus Hjlund to Napoli, maybe tomorrow, maybe not. Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea, maybe this week, maybe next. Grimsby in the evening. Grim faces in the morning. Kobbie Mainoo wants out.

Grimsby fans took to the pitch to celebrate in absolutely incredible scenes after their shock victory over Manchester United in the Carabao Cup last night. This was a memorable result for the League Two side, who were 2-0 up and close to winning in normal time before Man Utd rallied late on. Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire scored to snatch a scarcely-deserved 2-2 draw, and a ridiculously long penalty shoot-out followed. Grimsby eventually came out on top 12-11 on penalties,
