Graeme Souness has warned Chelsea’s owners their transfer strategy is ‘creating a monster’ with the decision to replace Raheem Sterling with Jadon Sancho another example of their questionable approach. Having publicly deemed Sterling surplus to requirements, Arsenal pounced on transfer deadline day to sign the experienced England international on loan until the end of the season. Subsequent reports claim the Gunners are paying less than a third of the 29-year-old’s salary, which means the Blues are effectively paying around £10million to let Sterling represent one of their main rivals until June. Souness fears that decision represents a grave error, with Enzo Maresca’s chances of succeeding only further undermined by the signing of Jadon Sancho who has struggled to adapt to the Premier League since his move to Manchester United three years ago. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #arsenal #mikelarteta #premierleague #enzomaresca #souness #football

EA Sports has introduced a list of new features and various game modes, and it is understandably irresistible to check out the player ratings. Manchester City duo Rodri and Erling Haaland share the top rating of 91, with fellow team-mate Kevin De Bruyne third with a 90 rating. Arsenal's Martin Odegaard joins Liverpool trio Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah with an 89 rating. #footballfanarena #ffa #mancity #erlinghaaland #EAsports #arsenal #duorodri #football

Norway manager Stole Solbakken joked he is not expecting a positive phone call from Mikel Arteta after Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard suffered a serious looking injury last night. The Gunners, already without the suspended Declan Rice and injured summer signing Mikel Merino, now face an anxious wait to find out the severity of the damage their skipper sustained to his ankle ahead of Sunday’s north London derby. Odegaard had to be helped off the pitch by Norway’s medical staff and was in obvious pain following a robust challenge from Christoph Baumgartner midway through the second half of a Nations League match against Austria. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #mikelarteta #liverpool #nationsleague #football

Manchester United chiefs Dan Ashworth and Omar Berrada have thrown their full support behind Erik ten Hag despite the club’s poor performance against Liverpool. Despite a disappointing eighth-place finish in the Premier League, Ten Hag remained in his post over the summer thanks, in part, to his side’s unlikely FA Cup win over Manchester City. However, the pressure is firmly back on the Dutchman after a sluggish start to the season which has seen them fall to a late defeat against Brighton before being thumped 3-0 by Liverpool at Old Trafford. Both Ashworth and Berrada arrived over the summer as fresh appointments by Sir Jim Ratcliffe to change the club’s footballing structure. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #mancity #eriktenhag #ashworth #berrada #facup #football

Owen Hargreaves says that while he likes Joshua Zirkzee, he isn’t the answer to Manchester United’s goalscoring problems. Zirkzee joined United from Bologna over the summer for around £36million and made an instant impact, scoring the winner against Fulham on his debut. He made his first start for the club in the 3-0 loss against Liverpool on Sunday and was arguably the Red Devils’ best player in a rather dismal display. The centre-forward came close to scoring twice and looks to be Erik ten Hag’s best hope up top in the absence of the injured Rasmus Hojlund. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #fulham #owen #zirkzee #eriktenhag #football

Mohamed Salah has rocked Liverpool with a jaw-dropping revelation: Says this season will be his grand finale at Anfield, with no new deal in sight! Following a blistering 3-0 thrashing of Manchester United, Salah played like it was his swan song at Old Trafford. The football world is ablaze with speculation—could this be the epic end of Salah’s iconic Liverpool chapter? #football #fifa #salah #mosalah #mohammedsalah #egypt #trend #footballfanarena #footballfansarena2024 #ffa

Arne Slot addressed Mohamed Salah's 'last season' statement as the Egyptian starred in Liverpool's win over Manchester United. #liverpool #arneslot #salah #manchesterunited #football

In a ruthless display, Mo Salah and Luis Díaz dismantled Manchester United, shattering their title hopes after just three games. Liverpool’s firestorm at Old Trafford has fans questioning if Ten Hag can survive this humiliation. #football #fifa #salah #diaz #manchesterunited #liverpool #cr7 #trend #footballfanarena #footballfansarena2024 #ffa

Mohamed Salah appeared to confirm that this season will be his last at Liverpool after his side’s thumping win against Manchester United. Salah scored one and assisted two as Liverpool cruised to a 3-0 win against United at Old Trafford. However, speaking at full-time, the Egyptian reiterated that he had not been approached about a new deal and hinted he believed this would be his last year at the club. The Reds winger was the subject of major transfer interest last summer, with Liverpool rejecting a £150 million offer from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad, but has just one year left on his current contract. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #liverpool #salah #transferwindow #premierleague #trending #football

Michael Owen thinks Liverpool could well prove the biggest rivals to Manchester City in the Premier League title race this season after their dominant win against Manchester United. Liverpool looked at their rampant best at Old Trafford on Sunday as Arne Slot’s side cruised to a commanding 3-0 win against United. Luis Diaz twice took advantage of mistakes from Casemiro to score first-half goals before the brilliant Mohamed Salah, who set up both of Diaz’s efforts, added a third with yet another goal against the Red Devils. The result continues Liverpool’s perfect league start under new boss Slot, with City the only other team to have won their first three games of the season. #footballfanarena #ffa #michaelowen #liverpool #manchesterunited #mancity #luissuarez #premierleague #trending #football
