da blaze casino： Potentially replacing the struggling Andre Onana, Manchester United are now reportedly eyeing a bargain deal to sign a former Newcastle United shot-stopper for Ruben Amorim this summer.
Man Utd targeting Onana replacements
da wazamba： Whilst there was a brief spell at the start of the season that Onana looked to have put any problems in the past, mistakes have since crept back into his game under Amorim, who must replace his goalkeeper. The former Inter Milan man must be part of a ruthless clear-out at Old Trafford, with several names already linked with a summer switch to Manchester United to act as a replacement.
Onana has struggled ever since arriving last season and found himself at the centre of criticism from the likes of Gary Neville following some disappointing displays.
Development: Man Utd hold positive talks with "strong" £68m star over move
He’d be an instant upgrade.
ByTom Cunningham Apr 5, 2025
The Manchester United legend slammed the goalkeeper after he made a mistake against Aston Villa last season, saying: “That was a pathetic passage of play. McGinn’s delivery was awful and then Onana makes a mess of it. Onana is getting on my nerves, slowing the game down and then keeps giving it away. Catch it and stay in your box!”
If recent reports are anything to go by too, Manchester United have seen enough. Recent rumours have even indicated that the Red Devils are interested in bringing David de Gea back to the club in what would be a sensational deal. Of course, it was Onana who initially came in to replace the Spaniard two seasons ago.
Meanwhile, other names such as Mike Maignan have also threatened to steal the headlines. The AC Milan goalkeeper is arguably one of the best in his position and his reported price tag reflects that, sitting at an eye-watering £67m ahead of the summer.
Whether the Red Devils can afford such a deal is the big question. The reality is that they could be forced to turn their focus towards a bargain deal to replace Onana this summer.
Man Utd eyeing Freddie Woodman bargain
According to The Sun, Manchester United are now eyeing a bargain deal to sign Freddie Woodman from Preston North End this summer. The former Newcastle shot-stopper is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, which could allow those at Old Trafford to swoop in and land a free transfer.
The 28-year-old has been in excellent form in the Championship this season and may have done enough to earn a move back to the Premier League for the first time since leaving St James’ Park on a permanent deal in 2022. Having kept as many as 17 clean sheets in the current campaign, Woodman is far from the young goalkeeper who struggled to establish himself at Newcastle.
In recent years, Woodman has instead found himself at the centre of praise at Preston, including from Ryan Lowe. The former manager told reporters after the shot-stopper kept his 16th clean sheet of the 2022/23 campaign: “Freddie made some fantastic saves and that’s 16 clean sheets for him now, which is brilliant.
“He’s got a gashed eye and had three or four stitches at half-time, but there was no way we were going to get him off the pitch.”

da betcris： Pela última rodada do Paulistão, a Portuguesa venceu, de virada, o Mirassol fora de casa pelo placar de 2 a 1 e se livrou do rebaixamento no Campeonato Paulista. Nas duas últimas colocações da tabela, ficaram Ferroviária e São Bento, que disputarão a Série A2 do estadual em 2024.
Se antes do jogo a permanência da Lusa parecia um milagre, a situação ficou ainda mais difícil quando o Mirassol abriu o placar, aos 43 minutos, com Camilo. A esta altura, em Sorocaba, o São Bento já perdia para o Red Bull Bragantino por 1 a 0, resultado que ajudava a Portuguesa.

Mas o drama da Lusa durou pouco: nos acréscimos do primeiro tempo, Richard empatou a partida, mantendo viva a esperança da permanência. Aos oito minutos do segundo tempo, João Victor fez o gol que garantiu a vitória da Portuguesa. Com 10 pontos na classificação geral, o time comandado por Gilson Kleina terminou o campeonato na 14ª colocação e se livrou do rebaixamento no critério de saldo de gols – o time terminou o campeonato com saldo -8, enquanto o São Bento terminou com -9.
São Bento perde para o Bragantino
Em Sorocaba, o São Bento perdeu por 3 a 0 para o Red Bull Bragantino – gols de Bruno Gonçalves, Gustavinho e Bruno Praxedes – e acabou rebaixado para a Série A2 do Paulistão. Com essa derrota, os donos da casa estacionaram nos 10 pontos, mesma pontuação da Portuguesa, mas acabaram rebaixados por terem marcado apenas 5 gols no campeonato inteiro.
Ferroviária fica com a lanterna
Em outra partida fundamental na definição dos rebaixados, Ferroviária e Inter de Limeira não saíram do 0 a 0. A equipe de Araraquara encerra sua participação no Paulistão com apenas 9 pontos e na última colocação. Já a Inter de Limeira se despede do estadual na 13ª posição, com apenas 11 pontos, um acima da Portuguesa.
Leeds United are currently sat at the top of the Championship table during the last international break of the 2024/25 campaign, as they inch closer to promotion back to the Premier League.
The Whites missed out via the play-offs last season, losing to Southampton 1-0 at Wembley in the final, and will hope to go up automatically instead of having to rely on the post-season matches.
Earning promotion to the Premier League is only the first step, though, as Daniel Farke will then have to build a squad that is capable of avoiding instant relegation – something that he did not manage in two attempts with Norwich City.
This is why it is important that the 49ers provide the German head coach with all the ammunition he needs, and we have had a look at the dream Premier League starting XI that the board could build for Farke in the summer transfer window…
1 GK – Caoimhin Kelleher
Illan Meslier has been the number one for Leeds in recent seasons but he has not done enough to suggest that the club should rely on him as their number one next season.
The Frenchman has conceded a staggering 34.4 more goals than expected, based on post-shot xG, in his league career at Elland Road, which suggests that he has woefully underperformed as a shot-stopper.
Caoimhin Kelleher, who has been linked with a move to Leeds next season, has conceded 3.0 fewer than expected during his Premier League career as Liverpool’s number two, suggesting that he could come in as a far superior shot-stopper to bolster the team’s hopes of survival.
2 RB – Jayden Bogle
Jayden Bogle, who joined from Sheffield United last summer, has started all 36 of his appearances for Leeds in the Championship this season and could remain the first-choice right-back option next term.
3 CB – Nico Elvedi
Leeds were reportedly interested in a deal to sign Farke’s former Borussia Monchengladbach star Nico Elvedi in the January transfer window, but failed to get a move over the line as the Swiss star wants to play top-flight football.
The Whites could convince him to make the switch to Elland Road in the summer if they secure promotion to the Premier League, and he could compete with Joe Rodon for a starting berth.

As you can see in the table above, Elvedi has outperformed Rodon as an out-and-out defender in a bigger league, suggesting that he could come in to provide a solid presence at the heart of the backline.
4 CB – Pascal Struijk
Dutch defender Pascal Struijk could retain his place as a regular starter on the left side of the defence, both because of his leadership qualities – having captained the team on many occasions – and the fact that he is naturally left-footed and can comfortably play out from the back on that side.
5 LB – Hugo Bueno
TEAMtalk recently reported that Junior Firpo is ‘increasingly likely’ to leave when his contract expires in the summer, which will leave a hole to fill at left-back.
It was reported earlier this month that Leeds have their eye on Feyenoord defender Hugo Bueno, who is on loan from Wolves, as a possible replacement for Firpo.
Bueno has created four ‘big chances’ and registered three assists in 12 Eredivisie starts for Feyenoord this term, and could provide an attacking threat down the left flank for Leeds in the top-flight.
6 CM – Ao Tanaka
Ao Tanaka has been a revelation for Leeds in the middle of the park in the Championship, averaging 3.6 tackles and interceptions per game and a pass accuracy of 90%, and could be given a chance to showcase his quality in the Premier League.
7 CM – Ethan Ampadu
Ethan Ampadu, who started all 49 matches including the play-offs in the league last term, is the club captain and Farke could want his skipper in the engine room alongside Tanaka in the 2025/26 campaign – whether that is in the top-flight or the Championship.
8 RW – Jonathan Rowe
The Telegraph reported last summer that Leeds wanted to make a £7m bid for Norwich City forward Jonathan Rowe, but he ultimately joined Marseille on loan with an obligation to make it permanent for £17m this summer.
It was recently reported, however, that he has fallen down the pecking order in France and that Marseille are looking to instantly offload him in the summer, which would open the door for Leeds to return with another attempt to sign him.
Rowe scored 12 goals from just 5.36 xG in the Championship last term, whilst Dan James has scored ten goals from 9.22 xG this season, and he could be a ruthless finisher for the Whites in the top-flight if Farke can get the best out of him.
9 CAM – Wilfried Gnonto
Brenden Aaronson has been the go-to option in the number ten position for Leeds this season but his performances against the top sides suggest that he would struggle badly in the Premier League.

As you can see in the table above, he has failed to make an impact against any of the top six sides in his ten appearances against them, whilst Wilfried Gnonto has previously shown quality in the top-flight.
The Italian gem, who came on as the number ten against QPR last weekend, produced two goals and four assists in 14 starts in the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.
10 LW – Manor Solomon
Manor Solomon is currently on loan from Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds are reportedly interested in a deal to sign the winger, who has scored seven goals and provided seven assists in the league this term, permanently.
Chelsea are keeping a close eye on a pair of teenage twins as they look to win the race to secure their long-term futures.
As with most transfer windows since Todd Boehly took over at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea will be expected to be very busy this summer as they try to push on from wherever they finish in the Premier League this season.
A 3-0 defeat to Brighton on Friday night called Enzo Maresca’s future at the club into question within some sections of the fanbase, but with the Blues still in the race for a top-four finish and being favourites in the Conference League, Maresca will be hoping he can still do enough to keep his job.

The season still has a long way to go, but as it approaches its most important period, it also means the summer transfer window is getting closer, and it appears as though Chelsea have already put some plans in place. According to reports in Spain, the Blues are prepared to bid around £58m to sign Pablo Barrios from Atlético Madrid as they eye a new central midfielder.

As well as Barrios, Chelsea have approached Marc Casado of Barcelona over a possible move to Stamford Bridge. The midfielder’s contract includes an £83m release clause, and while it is unclear if Barça would be willing to negotiate at a lower fee, he is highly thought of in Spain. Chelsea are big fans and have been impressed with the performances he has put in recently.
The transfer news for the Blues doesn’t stop there, as according to TBR Football, Chelsea are keen on signing teenage twins Bailey and Anton Palmer from Middlesbrough this summer.
The Blues, as well as Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Brighton, have all been keeping a close eye on the pair, and all are keen on landing their signatures when the summer transfer window opens. However, they also face the prospect of other teams joining the race by that time. Both players are midfielders by trade and are seen as two top prospects in Boro’s acclaimed academy.
Both Bailey and Anton have been named in England’s under-17 squads and are both seen as two of the most exciting players at their age in the country right now. Bailey is the one who has experienced first-team football, as he’s been named on the bench in three separate games against West Brom, Preston and Blackburn Rovers.
Due to PSR, teams from the Premier League are more aware of making profit on players and the Blues haven’t been afraid to nurture and sell young talents for huge profits, with Mason Mount’s move to Manchester United the perfect example of a clever book-balancing deal from the hierarchy.

Chelsea have always been a side that has produced some exciting young players, and they currently have Josh Acheampong, Marc Guiu, Caleb Wiley, Renato Veiga and Mathis Amougou, to name just a few, in their academy.
Bailey and Anton are younger and probably further behind in their development, but Chelsea will always have their eyes on the next biggest talent at 17, 18, 19 and so on. The twins are highly rated, so Chelsea will want them in their academy in hopes of breaking into the first team or selling them for a huge profit.
Manchester United have now made a proposal of Rasmus Hojlund plus cash to sign “the best striker in the world”, and his club would be open to a deal of that nature, according to a journalist.
Hojlund struggling in the Premier League
Hojlund has regularly found himself on the scoresheet in the Europa League, netting five times in the league phase, but the majority of the Dane’s goals came against relatively weak opposition in Bodo/Glimt and Viktoria Plzen.
The 22-year-old has struggled against tougher teams in the Premier League, netting just two goals in 23 appearances this term and failing to find the back of the net since scoring in the 3-2 defeat against Nottingham Forest back in December.
Summer signing Joshua Zirkzee has also been an unreliable source of goals, scoring six in 42 games in all competitions, so it is little wonder Man United are looking to bring in a new striker when summer comes around.
Man Utd could now move for "outstanding" £84m striker instead of Osimhen
The Red Devils have identified a potential alternative to the Nigerian.
ByDominic Lund Mar 11, 2025
Napoli’s Victor Osimhen has emerged as a target for the Red Devils, and journalist Luca Cerchione has now dropped an interesting update on their pursuit of the Nigerian, suggesting a proposal has already been made.
Cerchione said: “Keep an eye on the Rasmus Højlund trail, which was reported to me last week.
“United have proposed Højlund to Napoli as part of the deal that could bring Victor Osimhen to Manchester United. In order for Osimhen’s price tag to drop, they will also talk about Højlund, who Conte likes a lot. We’ll see, we’ll follow this lead. €40m, plus Højlund, would be a deal in favour of Napoli.”
Osimhen is known to have a £62m release clause in his Napoli contract, but United are seemingly keen on a deal of a different nature, which would allow them to get an underperforming striker off the books.
Osimhen could be "the best striker in the world"
It would be a shame to see Hojlund leave United so soon, considering he is still young at 22 and may go on to become a top striker, but Ruben Amorim’s side cannot pass up the opportunity to sign the Nigeria international, should Napoli be keen on a swap deal.
The 26-year-old was lauded as “the best striker in the world” by members of the media during his time with Napoli, and he has since gone on to impress on loan at Galatasaray this season, netting 23 goals in 29 games in all competitions.
There are also signs of interest on the player’s end, with previous reports suggesting the Galatasaray star is open to talks over a move to Old Trafford this summer, indicating a move could be a real possibility.
It is imperative Man United sign a striker this summer, given their current options’ struggles in front of goal this season, so it is exciting news they have now made a proposal for one of the world’s best.
da esport bet： This season has been nothing short of a roller coaster for Arsenal fans.
da bet sport： Mikel Arteta’s side have been inconsistent on the pitch and incredibly unlucky with injuries off of it.
However, the last seven days might just have been the start of a good period for the side, with Mikel Merino stepping up in the absence of a recognised number nine on Saturday and then the former manager doing his successor a favour by taking two points off Liverpool on Wednesday.
With that said, the Gunners have a tough test against Graham Potter’s West Ham to get past this afternoon if they are to keep up the pressure on Arne Slot’s Reds, and to ensure they do, Arteta must unleash one of his new stars who’s been compared to the Hammers’ Mohammed Kudus.
Arsenal's record against West Ham
Since their first meeting back in January 1909, when they were under the name Woolwich Arsenal, the Gunners have played West Ham 152 times across all competitions, winning 74, drawing 41 and losing 37.
However, while their overall record against the Hammers is pretty excellent, the North Londoners’ form against the Hammers over their last four encounters has been decidedly more mixed, with two wins, two losses and a draw.
Moreover, while their last two games against the East Londoners, which have both been away, have resulted in hefty wins for Arteta’s men, their last game at the Emirates was something of a disaster.
It was in late December 2023, and despite taking 30 shots to their six, having 74% of the possession and amassing an expected goals figure of 2.77 to their 1.42, the title challengers came away 2-0 losers, and it could have been even worse had David Raya not saved Saïd Benrahma’s 96th minute penalty.
So, it should be an exciting game this afternoon, and one of the players Arsenal have to be most aware of is undoubtedly Mohammed Kudus.
Still, the good news is Arteta already has his answer to the attacker, although he has to make sure he starts him.
Arsenal's answer to Kudus
The unfortunate truth of the matter is that, thanks to the mountain of attacking injuries Arsenal have at the moment, there really aren’t many options for Arteta to choose from for the right wing, meaning it’s likely to be another start for the incredible Ethan Nwaneri, who also happens to be the team’s answer to Kudus.
Now, there are a number of reasons why this is the case, but perhaps the most significant is that he’s been likened to the Hammers star by FBref, which compares players in similar positions across Europe’s top five leagues, the Champions League and Europa League, then creates a list of the ten most comparable players for each one, and, in this instance, has concluded that the Ghanaian is the second most similar attacking midfielder or winger to the Englishman.
The best way to see where this comparison has come from is to look at the underlying metrics in which the pair rank closely, including, but not limited to, non-penalty expected goals plus assists, shots on target, passes into the penalty area, blocks, ball recoveries and more, all per 90.

On top of their statistical similarities, both players have shown themselves to be positionally versatile, as while the young Hale Ender is currently thriving off the right, he’s also able to play in midfield, attacking midfield, and even up-top, akin to the Irons ace.
With all that said, another reason Arteta must start the “unplayable” teenager, as dubbed by Jack Wilshere, is exactly that: he’s becoming the sort of player defenders do not want to play against.
For example, despite playing just 790 minutes of first-team football across 24 appearances, the Enfield-born phenom has scored seven goals and provided one assist, which comes out to an unreal average of a goal involvement every three games, or every 98.75 minutes.
Ultimately, Arsenal must win this game to keep the pressure on Liverpool, and for them to stand the best chance of doing so, the manager needs to keep Nwaneri in the starting lineup.
He's like Xhaka: Arteta must rue not signing Arsenal's loan "genius"
The former Arsenal man is having a stellar campaign this year.

Chelsea are reportedly in pole position to sign Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen this summer as doubts surface over Real Madrid's pursuit.
