Man Utd scouts spotted watching Real Madrid target who's keeping up with Mbappe

Setting their sights on early 2026 reinforcements, Manchester United have now reportedly sent scouts to watch an impressive forward who’s keeping up with Kylian Mbappe this season.

What Man Utd need in January

Whilst we’re still only in October, it looks likely to be an important January transfer window for Man United. The Red Devils have started poorly once again in the Premier League – winning just twice in seven games – and further reinforcements are clearly needed.

Given that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has publicly backed Ruben Amorim, INEOS must put their money where their mouth is and back the former Sporting Club manager once again when the winter window swings open. Just who they’ll target to do exactly that is the big question.

The rumour mill has already mentioned the likes of Kenan Yildiz from Juventus and David Affengruber from Elche, but it remains to be seen whether those at Old Trafford act on their interest in 2026.

Yildiz would be a particularly impressive signing. The versatile winger has been the main man at Juventus over the last 12 months and is still just 20 years old. His arrival wouldn’t come cheap, but it is one that United should go all out to secure next year.

Affengruber, meanwhile, would be shrewd business. The central defender represents the type of underrated player that INEOS should be tracking if they want to avoid spending big whilst landing a gem.

La Liga could be where it’s at for such talent, too, with reports now suggesting that United have sent scouts to watch an impressive striker target ahead of January.

Man Utd sends scouts to watch Etta Eyong

As reported by TeamTalk, Man United scouts have now been spotted watching Karl Etta Eyong this season. The 21-year-old has enjoyed an excellent campaign so far, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also eyeing moves alongside the Red Devils.

Having just joined Levante from Villarreal, a January move seems unlikely, but that doesn’t mean he’s not one to watch for next summer. In just eight La Liga games, the forward has scored five goals and assisted another three. To put into context how impressive that is, Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe has managed 11 goal involvements in the same number of games.

Praised for an “amazing” season so far by scout Jacek Kulig, the future is certainly bright for Etta Eyong. Whether that future includes a move to Old Trafford is another question entirely, however.

Up against both Real Madrid and Barcelona in the race for his signature, the Red Devils will have to make their first move as soon as possible.

Sri Lanka begin post-Angelo Mathews era with crucial WTC points at stake

Visitors will have Mehidy Hasan Miraz back and could go with three spinners at SSC

Big Picture: WTC points at stake for both sidesAfter a draw in the first Test in Galle, the action moves to Colombo with more World Test Championship (WTC) points on the line for a Test arguably more important for Sri Lanka than Bangladesh. As their remaining two home series in this cycle are against India and South Africa, two Tests without a win against a lower-ranked Bangladesh might leave the hosts feeling like they left points on the table.As for the visitors, they were the closer of the two sides to getting a positive result in Galle, and will be heading to Colombo with the belief that they can go one better. And with their remaining two away series this cycle against WTC 2025 finalists Australia and South Africa, the points might prove more valuable than most.It is also Sri Lanka’s first Test of the post-Angelo Mathews era, with the search for his replacement now moving into full gear. The first to get a go looks likely to be spin-bowling allrounder Sonal Dinusha, whose slow left-arm spin makes him a handy option – particularly in home conditions. With no Tests on Sri Lanka’s cards until next year, he’ll be itching to make this opportunity one to remember.Related

If Sri Lanka opt to throw all their spin eggs in the Prabath Jayasuriya basket, then one of Pavan Rathnayake, Pasindu Sooriyabandara or even Oshada Fernando could come in.Bangladesh, meanwhile, welcome Mehidy Hasan Miraz back after he missed the first Test with fever. You would expect the No. 2-ranked allrounder in the world to be welcomed back with open arms. But his replacement Nayeem Hasan was arguably the best bowler on show in the first Test.With the SSC surface expected to be dry and batter-friendly, both teams will be trying to decipher the ideal combination. Dhananjaya de Silva hinted that three seamers were likely for Sri Lanka – which could potentially mean a debut for Isitha Wijesundara – but if Bangladesh were to follow suit, it might mean Nayeem misses out.Bangladesh, though, have the seam options to go with a three-pronged spin attack, with both Khaled Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain available for selection. With Ebadot just returning from an injury layoff, Khaled could get the nod, particularly owing to his proficiency with the new ball.Form guideSri Lanka: DLLLL
Bangladesh: DWLWLLAnamul Haque fell for 0 and 4 in the Galle Test•Associated Press

In the spotlight: Dhananjaya de Silva and Anamul HaqueFor most of his career, Dhananjaya de Silva has batted at No. 6 or lower. He was tried at No. 5 for the entire 2021 as well, and to some success. But with Mathews retired, Sri Lanka’s Test middle order is getting its first real shake-up in over a decade. The biggest beneficiary of that might be the Sri Lanka captain himself. Dhananjaya looks set to slot into that No. 4 role – at least initially – a position he has batted in on only six prior occasions, and one where he averages just 20.33. DDS, as he’s commonly known, has always been the man for a crisis in Sri Lanka’s lower order, and Sri Lanka will be hoping that crisis-management mode kicks in upon the retirement of one of the country’s stalwarts.Anamul Haque’s Test career hasn’t been one to write home about. Having made his Test debut back in 2013, he was in the wilderness from 2014 to 2022. Anamul’s return to the national team was brief, though, as he was dropped after a single Test for another three years. At 32 years of age, his return against Zimbabwe this April was less comeback, and more a reintroduction. He scored 39, his highest Test score, the only time he batted in that game. The Galle Test brought Anamul scores of 0 and 4, not ideal either. But on an SSC track that is expected to be as batter-friendly – if not, more – now, if ever, is the time to deliver.Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be back in action after a fever•AFP/Getty Images

Team newsSri Lanka will be pondering Mathews’ replacement, as well as whether to play three seamers. Milan Rathnayake’s injury has left open a spot for a bowling allrounder, and Dinusha seems likely to fill that role. Tharindu Ratnayake will be the one to make way if Sri Lanka go for an extra seamer.Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Pathum Nissanka, 2 Lahiru Udara, 3 Dinesh Chandimal, 4 Dhananjaya de Silva (capt), 5 Kamindu Mendis, 6 Sonal Dinusha, 7 Kusal Mendis (wk), 8 Prabath Jayasuriya, 9 Vishwa Fernando, 10 Kasun Rajitha/Isitha Wijesundara, 11 Asitha FernandoBangladesh will have to decide how to slot in the returning Mehidy, while also pondering whether to go with three seamers or an extra spinner. It could be Nayeem who misses out if the extra seamer does come in. Skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto also picked up a finger injury at training, but it doesn’t look likely to rule him out.Bangladesh (probable): 1 Shadman Islam, 2 Anamul Haque, 3 Mominul Haque, 4 Najmul Hossain Shanto (capt), 5 Mushfiqur Rahim, 6 Jaker Ali (wk), 7 Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 8 Nayeem Hasan/Khaled Ahmed/Ebadot Hossain, 9 Taijul Islam, 10 Nahid Rana, 11 Hasan MahmudOf active Sri Lanka players, Prabath Jayasuriya’s ten wickets are the most at SSC•AFP/Getty Images

Stats and trivia Sri Lanka have lost four of their last eight Tests at the SSC. Prior to that, they had gone 21 Tests without defeat at the venue. Of active Sri Lanka players, Jayasuriya’s ten wickets are the most at the SSC. Bangladesh have beaten Sri Lanka just once across 27 Tests.Quotes”Runs in the first innings is the key. Then we can try and take 20 wickets in the game. Toss will not be a major factor. Even in Galle, we were able to score the same number of runs as them.”
“To leave Naeem out is difficult. But we make sure everyone is on the same page, and if a decision has to be made, people understand that it’s what’s best for the team.”

– Foi por volta das 11 horas da noite, eu já estava no quarto, deitado, quando a cama começou a tremer muito. Eu não sabia o que estava acontecendo. O abajur na minha frente começou a tremer muito também, uma sensação bem estranha, o quarto todo tremendo. Fui para o corredor, todos estavam bem assustados, não sabiam se era um terremoto ou outro problema no hotel. Uns 15 minutos depois, o pessoal da segurança veio e pediu para sair, ir para uma área mais aberta, perto da piscina. Ficamos por cerca de uma hora. Depois veio outro terremoto, mas bem leve. A gente não sentiu. Foi algo único, que eu nunca tinha vivido, uma sensação diferente – revelou o meio-campista.

Mesmo com o susto, o jogador do Timão destacou a primeira experiência internacional vestindo a camisa brasileira. Ele atuou durante 15 minutos na derrota do Brasil para o Marrocos, na quinta-feira (7).

– Foi uma experiência única, como eu já esperava. Algo inesquecível, a primeira vez na seleção. Essa semana de treinamentos e 15 minutos em um jogo foi algo único para mim. Aprendi bastante com o treinador da seleção, o Ramon, e com os meus companheiros, que me receberam muito bem. Uma seleção muito boa, com grandes jogadores que atuam na Europa. Fui bem recebido e aprendi muito com eles. Foi uma semana muito boa, apesar da infelicidade do terremoto no país – comentou o volante, chamado de última hora devido à lesão de Danilo, ex-Palmeiras e atualmente no Nottingham Forest, da Inglaterra.

The Greatest 20 Wingers in Football History

A winger is arguably the most eye-catching position on the football pitch. Whether it be pinpoint crossing ability, a bag of skills or electric pace, we have seen some iconic wide men over time get plenty of plaudits.

Robert Pires

France

20 Robert Pires

Beginning the countdown is Robert Pires, who was actually voted sixth in the list of Arsenal’s best-ever players, showing the impact he made in England.

A Euros and World Cup winner with France, Pires played on the left and bundles of skill and claimed two Premier League titles and three FA Cups at Highbury.

He’d often go under the radar due to playing alongside Thierry Henry, but Pires was world-class in his prime.

19 Tom Finney

One of the greatest two-footed wingers during the 1940s and 1950s was Englishman Tom Finney, who spent 20 years with Preston North End.

Although his career wasn’t glittered with honours, Finney has gone down as one of the finest versatile attackers of the early era, scoring 240 goals for Preston and England.

18 Jose Macia Pepe

Jose Macia Pepe won the World Cup with Brazil in 1958 and 1962 with Pele and starred alongside for Santos during his club career.

An iconic left-winger over 15 years, Pepe scored 405 goals in 705 games for Santos, a remarkable number for someone who played out wide.

17 ​​​David Beckham

One of the best crossers of the ball in history, David Beckham played on the right-hand side for some of the biggest sides in world football during his career.

Man Utd, Real Madrid and AC Milan all had the pleasure of having Beckham take set pieces, delivering the ball with precision on a regular basis.

The first major football celebrity, Beckham’s ability on the pitch is sometimes forgotten, but on his day, the English icon was unstoppable.

16 Gareth Bale

A five-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, Gareth Bale always delivered in the big moments for Los Blancos, scoring some of the club’s most iconic goals in finals.

His overhead kick against Liverpool in the Champions League and solo run against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey are two standout moments from a glittering career, with Bale also starring in the Premier League with Tottenham and on the international stage with Wales.

15 Mohamed Salah

Now a certified Liverpool legend, Mohamed Salah’s return to England after a failed spell with Chelsea has turned him into one of the greatest the Premier League has ever seen.

Pace, excellent dribbling and clinical in front of goal, Salah was key in Liverpool’s Champions League and Premier League triumphs. The Egyptian King has got better with age and broke plenty of records at Anfield.

14 Rivaldo

An extremely versatile forward, Rivaldo’s greatest displays during his 25-year career came out wide. Best known for his time at Barcelona, the Brazilian starred on the left, where he won the Ballon d’Or in 1999.

Netting 130 goals in 235 appearances at the Nou Camp, Rivaldo also won the World Cup in 2002. He had pace, power and could also take a free-kick which came in handy at various points during his career.

13 Eden Hazard

Retiring at the age of 32, Eden Hazard was hampered by injuries in the latter years of his career following his big-money move to Real Madrid from Chelsea.

However, in his prime years, Hazard was untouchable at Stamford Bridge and couldn’t be stopped by Premier League full-backs.

One of Belgium’s best ever players in history, Hazard was known for his dribbling ability, and his iconic goal against Arsenal summed up what he was like as a player.

12 ​Arjen Robben

A serial winner with PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, ​full-backs often knew what Arjen Robben was going to do but still couldn’t stop him.

Cutting in off the right and onto his unbelievable left-foot, the Dutch icon’s career lasted 20 years, and for his country, he made almost 100 appearances.

The scorer of the winner in the 2013 Champions League final with Bayern Munich, Robben’s technical ability was unmatched.

11 ​Ryan Giggs

Another winger who wasn’t the quickest but is still one of the best is Man Utd legend Ryan Giggs.

Giggs was influential in numerous Red Devils sides under Sir Alex Ferguson and had a wand of a left-foot at Old Trafford.

The Welshman has the record for most appearances in the Premier League (632) and the most Premier League assists (162), and his tally of 13 league titles highlights his longevity at the top level.

"بعد غضبه بسبب منتخب مصر".. شوبير يوجه رسالة خاصة لـ ناصر ماهر

وجّه الإعلامي أحمد شوبير رسالة خاصة إلى ناصر ماهر، لاعب الزمالك، بعد حالة الإحباط التي عبّر عنها اللاعب عقب استبعاده من قائمة منتخب مصر لمعسكر نوفمبر الجاري في الإمارات.

وينطلق معسكر المنتخب المصري في الفترة من 10 إلى 18 نوفمبر، ضمن استعدادات الفراعنة للمشاركة في بطولة كأس الأمم الإفريقية 2025، ويتخلله لقاء ودي أمام منتخب أوزبكستان يوم 14 نوفمبر على ملعب هزاع بن زايد.

وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم الأحد: “أولاً، أبارك لأحمد الشناوي انضمامه لصفوف المنتخب الوطني، وهو انضمام مستحق تمامًا، لأنه يقدم موسمًا مميزًا جدًا”.

وأضاف: “أنصح أي لاعب، سواء كان متواجدًا في المنتخب أو تم استبعاده، أن يلتزم الهدوء والصمت، لأن الفرصة دائمًا قادمة، أحيانًا تلعب وأحيانًا تكون خارج القائمة، لكن المهم أن تواصل العمل دون تذمر”.

وتابع: “من الأسماء التي أعلنها حسام حسن، مثل محمد إسماعيل لاعب الزمالك، فهو نموذج للاعب الذي فرض نفسه باستحقاق، لم يكن كثيرون يتوقعون تألقه، لكنه اجتهد وتألق حتى نال مكانه في المنتخب”.

وأردف: “من حق ناصر ماهر أن يشعر بالضيق، وهذا طبيعي، لكني كنت أتمنى منه بعض الصبر، هو مؤخرًا فقط بدأ يستعيد مستواه في آخر ثلاث مباريات، وبعد فترة طويلة لم يكن فيها في أفضل حالاته”.

واستكمل: “نحن الآن في معسكر أولي استعدادًا لأمم إفريقيا، وستكون هناك معسكرات أخرى وفرص جديدة، الموسم طويل، وهناك مباريات كثيرة في الدوري، والباب لم يُغلق أمام أحد”.

واختتم: “الأفضل دائمًا هو الصمت والعمل الجاد، مع احترامي الكامل لمشاعر ناصر، لكنه في حالة فنية رائعة حاليًا، وإذا واصل بهذا الأداء فسيعود بقوة للمنتخب في أقرب وقت”.

Bruce and Heaphy set up Central Districts' first win of GSL 2025

Hobart Hurricanes started poorly in the 168 chase, but got close because of a big stand between Nabi and Allen

A 113-run partnership for the fourth wicket between captain Tom Bruce and Curtis Heaphy, and a strong bowling performance led by Ajaz Patel and Blair Tickner took Central Districts past Hobart Hurricanes. That earned Central Districts their first points in GSL 2025.Having chosen to bat after losing their first and second matches in the competition having opting to field, Bruce got in after another poor start, with Central Districts losing Dane Cleaver and Will Young by the end of the powerplay, which came with 37 runs on the board.It soon became 40 for 3 in the eighth over, bringing Bruce and Heaphy together. And they were unseparated for 12 overs, batting through to the middle of the last over of the innings and scoring quickly. Their 113-run stand came in 73 balls, with Bruce being the aggressor by contributing 61 in 35 balls, and Heaphy 50 in 38. When Bruce fell, to Odean Smith, Central Districts had 153 on the board, and Matthew Forde went 6, 6 and 2 off the last three balls to take them to 167.The reply from Hobart Hurricanes was poor. They were two down in the powerplay, like Central Districts, and three down for 38 by the end of the eighth over. It got worse, as the wickets kept falling, and six batters were back in the dugout by the end of the 15th, with just 84 runs on the board. Ajaz had two of those six, and ended with figures of 4 for 18.That Hobart Hurricanes put up a fight and got to within 16 runs of matching their opponents was down to Mohammad Nabi, and his 65-run stand with Fabian Allen for the seventh wicket. Nabi scored a 25-ball 43, and Allen an unbeaten 36 from 16 deliveries with five sixes.The defeat meant all three of Hobart Hurricanes, Dubai Capitals and Central Districts are on two points from three games each. But Hobart Hurricanes are at No. 3 on the five-team table, followed by Dubai Capitals and Central Districts, who are at the bottom, based on their net run rates.

Jogador 'esquecido' do São Paulo pode viajar para Curitiba; veja provável escalação

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo viaja para Curitiba neste sábado (28), rumo ao confronto contra o Athletico-PR no domingo (29). Com algumas mudanças na escalação, o Tricolor pode ter uma novidade: Raí Ramos relacionado.

‘Esquecido’, Raí Ramos chegou ao São Paulo em março. Na época, era visto como uma contratação necessária tendo em vista o grave problema que o time estava enfrentando na lateral-direita. No momento em que Raí Ramos chegou, o time contava com três opções lesionadas: Rafinha, Moreira e Igor Vinícius.

Mas com o retorno de Rafinha e a volta de Nathan, Raí Ramos se tornou uma terceira opção para a equipe. Neste domingo (29), por sua vez, o cenário é diferente.

Por conta da expulsão no clássico contra o Palmeiras, Rafinha não poderá ser relacionado. A opção imediata para substituir é Nathan – como visto em outros jogos em que o veterano não esteve presente. No banco, Raí Ramos deve estar presente, e assim, ser uma das novidades.

Embora tenha sido relacionado contra o Goiás recentemente, esteve com o elenco em somente quatro partidas nos últimos três meses. A última vez que jogou foi em agosto, contra o Flamengo, quando esteve em campo por 18 minutos.

Assim, uma provável escalação para o jogo pode ser formada por Rafael, Nathan, Diego Costa, Beraldo e Caio Paulista; Pablo Maia, Alisson, Rodrigo Nestor e James Rodríguez; Luciano (Wellington Rato) e David (Erison). Vale destacar que o São Paulo busca sua primeira vitória fora de casa no ano pelo Campeonato Brasileiro.

Kieran McKenna ranks Celtic's big club status amid links to Parkhead

Kieran McKenna has delivered his verdict on Celtic following recent reports that the Scottish giants could look to land the Ipswich Town manager to replace Brendan Rodgers.

It’s been quite the week at Celtic Park. Chaos unfolded on Monday when Brendan Rodgers made the decision to resign and since then, the Hoops have travelled back in time – appointing Martin O’Neill on an interim basis.

The veteran manager has instantly got the Scottish champions back to winning ways, overseeing a 4-0 victory over Falkirk on Wednesday evening before telling reporters: “I’m really pleased to win in the manner we did, and we played some delightful stuff. Could have scored a couple more, too.

“My anxiety has calmed somewhat. When you get a few goals in front you can perhaps enjoy the last 10 or 15 minutes, and it kind of brought me back. I’ve not seen Celtic often, not live, to make criticism of this side. A restoration of confidence was great.”

Leaving O’Neill to turn things around on the pitch, Parkhead chiefs have commenced their search for a new manager and already faced their first blow thanks to Ange Postecoglou.

The Australian has reportedly chosen to take a break from football after getting the sack at Nottingham Forest just 39 days into the job. This shuts down any rumours that he could be making a sensational return to Scotland in the coming weeks.

Forced to search elsewhere, Celtic could yet turn towards Wales boss Craig Bellamy or Club Brugge’s Nicky Hayen, who has refused to rule a move out.

Meanwhile, another option is McKenna. The Ipswich Town boss has quite the reputation and has reportedly made Celtic’s shortlist as a result. Whether he decides to call it quits at Portman Road is another question, however.

Kieran McKenna delivers fresh Celtic verdict

Asked about the vacant job in his latest press conference, McKenna revealed where he ranks Celtic as a club whilst also speaking about his verdict on the position in Scotland.

Despite holding them in high regard, it looks as though Celtic will have a tough task on their hands if they want to lure McKenna away from Ipswich.

The former Manchester United coach has done an excellent job in Suffolk, taking Ipswich to as high as the Premier League following back-to-back promotions before suffering relegation last season.

Former Irish League star Thomas Stewart is one of many ex-players and pundits to have praised McKenna, previously telling reporters: “He’s well-educated, an intelligent man and I always felt that when we had conversations when we were younger.

As good as Kenny: Celtic star who won 10 duels is already undroppable

This Celtic star who was as good as Johnny Kenny is now undroppable for Martin O’Neill.

ByDan Emery Oct 30, 2025

“I think we were the only two from the U16 Victory Shield team that got left out and went on to play for the U21 team. I’ve full respect for him and he’s doing an amazing job.”

For now, though, Celtic may be forced to miss out on their managerial target.

ليفربول يحسم موقفه من رحيل سوبوسلاي إلى ريال مدريد

كشفت تقارير صحفية موقف نادي ليفربول من السماح لنجم الفريق، دومينيك سوبوسلاي، من الرحيل إلى نادي ريال مدريد، بعدما نجح في جذب انتباه عملاق أوروبا بفضل أدائه المبهر رفقة بطل الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

ومن المقرر أن ينتهي العقد الحالي للاعب الوسط المجري مع ليفربول في يونيو 2028، ويمثل عنصرًا أساسيًا في كتيبة آرني سلوت.

ونجح سوبوسلاي في الاستحواذ على اهتمام ريال مدريد عن جدارة واستحقاق، حيث يتطلع المدرب تشابي ألونسو إلى تدعيم خط وسط الفريق الملكي، ويرى أن صاحب الـ25 عامًا يمثل هدفًا مميزًا له في “سانتياجو برنابيو”.

وحسبما ذكرت شبكة “فوتبول إنسايدر” الإنجليزية، فإنه من المتوقع أن يرفض ليفربول أي عرض من ريال مدريد للاستغناء عن خدمات دومينيك سوبوسلاي، حيث أن سلوت مصمم على الاحتفاظ بخدمات نجمه.

وأوضحت أن ليفربول يسعى لبدء مفاوضات تجديد عقد سوبوسلاي، لإغلاق الباب أي نادِ يرغب في ضمه، خاصة عملاق أوروبي مثل ريال مدريد.

وأفادت أن سوبوسلاي يُعد أكثر لاعبي ليفربول ثباتًا في الأداء ذلك الموسم، في ظل المستوى المتذبذب من معظم لاعبي الفريق، بخلاف دوره المحوري في التتويج بلقب الدوري الإنجليزي الموسم الماضي.

وأشارت إلى إنه ليس من المستغرب أن يكون هناك اهتمام من أندية أخرى، مثل ريال مدريد، بضم سوبوسلاي، ولكن ليس من المرجح أن يوافق ليفربول على أي عروض.
