Man Utd now ready to take huge £30m+ loss on star Amorim doesn’t rate

Ruben Amorim is now ready to brutally axe one member of the Manchester United squad for a massive loss this summer, according to a fresh report, as he looks to put his mark on the Red Devils.

Manchester United transfer latest

It was a relatively busy January transfer window for Manchester United, but it was largely outgoings that dominated the headlines. The Premier League giants, who currently sit 13th in the top flight, sent a trio of first team players out on loan as they looked to trim their squad and their wage bill for the second half of the campaign.

Marcus Rashford joined Aston Villa for the remainder of the season in a deal that sees the Midlands outfit pay 75% of his hefty wages, which could rise to 90% based on performances. Unai Emery’s side also have an option to buy the forward at the end of the season for £40m should he impress in claret and blue.

Meanwhile, Antony’s agonising Old Trafford stay was also finally ended, with the club’s £86m signing leaving to join Real Betis on loan, and the Spanish side allegedly also paying a massive 84% of his wages during his time away from the Theatre of Dreams, with the duo’s exits saving the club significant funds.

These savings, in turn, helped the Red Devils move to sign Patrick Dorgu from Lecce, with the flying wingback arriving in a deal worth an initial £25m which could rise to £30m, a move that in turn allowed Tyrell Malacia to leave Old Trafford on loan.

But the Danish defender is just the first step in what is a major overhaul under Amorim at Old Trafford, with the club already exploring a move to sign former protegee Geovany Quenda this summer, and funds needing to be freed up to continue the job. Now, Amorim is reportedly ready to cash in on one of Erik ten Hag’s signings as he looks to find money to continue to make his mark at Manchester United.

Manchester United ready to cash in on forward

That is according to a fresh report from TEAMtalk, who point to Rasmus Hojlund as the player in question. The Dane arrived in Manchester from Atalanta with a hefty reputation as one of the most promising young strikers around, something which persuaded the Red Devils to shell out £72m (including add ons) to bring him to Old Trafford.

However, he has only shown glimpses of his potential, and has stuggled under Amorim since his arrival at the club in November, with the ex-Sporting coach opting to play midfielder Kobbie Mainoo as the no.9 in Hojlund’s place in their most recent Premier League outing.

His best form came under Erik ten Hag, when he went on a goalscoring run that drew praise from Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer.

“I really like him. That’s six games on the spin now scoring goals. I’ve loved his attitude, it’s been really tough for him at times but he’s stuck at it, he’s been patient and now he’s getting his rewards”, he explained after he scored twice against Luton Town.

“His second goal was instinctive, I mean his reaction. You have got a split second to think about things there. The ball has come at him with pace and then to twist your body and guide it in, it’s an incredible and very clever finish.”

However, he has struggled to find form since and now the report claims that Manchester United are willing to cash in on the Dane this summer, and will accept offers around the £40m mark, something that would mark a massive loss on their initial outlay.

It is claimed that “a new striker is a priority for Amorim in the summer” and, as a result, “there is a good chance” Hojlund could be moved on amid interest from West Ham United and Juventus in the 22-year-old. His departure could allow Manchester United to move for former Amorim pupil Viktor Gyokeres, in whom they hold a long-term interest.

Middlesex make light work of ten-wicket victory to push promotion hopes

Stoneman, Robson rush to victory that cements second place in title race

Paul Edwards15-Sep-2022
Two collapses, one of them understandable on the first morning, the other barely forgivable on the third evening, did as much as anything to determine the outcome of this match. That slightly glib assessment gives insufficient credit to the efforts of Mark Stoneman, whose fine century ensured that Middlesex built a match-shaping first-innings lead, so maybe it was fitting that the opener’s hearty clump over midwicket off Ajaz Patel sealed Middlesex’s ten-wicket victory at 11.30 on this fourth morning, thus giving the newly capped Stoneman and his partner, Sam Robson, time to fit in a coffee and almond croissant at Panzer’s delicatessen near Lord’s. Even in St John’s Wood, cricket matches rarely afford their participants such a civilised opportunity.Given that Glamorgan began this final day with a lead of 15 runs and just two wickets to fall, the wonder was that something like a couple of hundred souls turned up to watch the game’s last knockings. Perhaps some were completists, who hadn’t missed a day of Middlesex cricket since Peter Parfitt was a lad; others may have been Yorkshire-born members, who were determined to get their money’s worth; and others again probably thought they would test cricket’s glorious uncertainty to breaking point.Sadly, perhaps, the latter group had to make do with inglorious certainty and almost all of them were making their way home fairly soon after seeing Toby Roland-Jones take Glamorgan’s last two wickets to finish with match figures of 7 for 111. Patel was caught by Tim Murtagh at mid-off for 9 and Michael Hogan skied one to Ethan Bamber after making an uncultured 14. Bamber held on, which constituted something of an act of atonement, given that he had dropped Patel, a dolly off Roland-Jones indeed, in the third over of the day.That left Middlesex needing 45 runs to secure the win that takes them up to second in the table and their openers scurried to that target in 5.2 overs, Robson taking three fours in succession off James Harris. Murtagh’s side are now 19 points clear of fourth-placed Derbyshire and 12 ahead of Glamorgan, whose inept batting on the third evening could hardly have been timed worse.”We had a poor session with the bat and it’s cost us the game, essentially,” said their coach Matthew Maynard. “We lost some poor wickets. There was no momentum and we didn’t try and wrestle any back, so we’re bitterly disappointed. We need to get that right for the last two games if we’ve got any chance of promotion. We need to get maximum points from both games to stand any chance.”Maynard is correct in every respect, not least in the implicit recognition that the arithmetic of titles and promotion has suddenly become much clearer. For example, Nottinghamshire now need nine points to secure their return to English cricket’s top tier and 21 to win the Second Division title, although that in itself will be a curious achievement given they could well have won the County Championship last season.Middlesex’s fate is also in their own hands after their first Championship victory since May, although they are nothing like such prohibitive favourites for promotion as Nottinghamshire. Nevertheless they chose a good time to scrap for a win in this match and even two productive draws at Leicester and Worcester in their final matches should be enough.”I’m really happy with the character we’ve shown and I think the comprehensive nature of the win against a team who had gone above us last game was an important marker,” said their skipper Tim Murtagh. “We’ve done it the tough way, which is really pleasing and we’ve had a couple of big match-winning performances with Mark Stoneman’s hundred and Toby Roland-Jones’ five-for.”

West Ham expected to make fresh January bid for Champions League striker

West Ham United are expected to make a fresh January bid for one Champions League striker who’s been in sensational form this campaign, with manager Graham Potter on the hunt for another centre-forward after devastating injury blows.

West Ham eye up late January striker signing

The winter transfer window shuts in a matter of days, and West Ham are still yet to confirm the arrival of a prolific centre-forward who can ease the pressure on Danny Ings’ shoulders.

ByEmilio Galantini Jan 30, 2025

Ings is Potter’s only natural striking option right now, with both Niclas Füllkrug and Michail Antonio set to be sidelined for extended periods after suffering serious injuries. West Ham’s need for another body in that area was evident before Fullkrug and Antonio were ruled out, but the duo’s absences have exacerbated their desire for a quality forward even more.

Brighton starlet Evan Ferguson is a primary target for West Ham during these latter stages of the window, which shuts on February 3rd, with the Republic of Ireland international potentially available on a loan deal.

West Ham did make a serious attempt for Ajax striker Brian Brobbey as well, even shaking hands on personal terms worth £100,000-per-week (talkSPORT), but the finances involved in a deal for the Dutchman proved to stall talks for the time being.

Potter’s side, as per reliable media sources like Fabrizio Romano, have also seen a bid rejected for PSV Eindhoven star Ricardo Pepi.

The USA international, a scorer of 18 goals in all competitions so far this season, also bagged one against Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday evening – helping them to a 3-2 win over Arne Slot’s Premier League frontrunners.

West Ham expected to make fresh Ricardo Pepi bid

While their opening proposal was swiftly turned away, the Hammers recruitment team have not given up on luring Pepi to the London Stadium.

Ricardo Pepi for PSV Eindhoven.

According to ED reporter Rik Elfrink, via X, West Ham are expected to make a second bid for Pepi worth around £29 million – but it remains to be seen whether this will be enough to convince PSV to part with their superstar attacker.

“Fireworks on the transfer market expected at PSV in the coming week,” said Elfrink.

“West Ham United will return with 35 million [euros] for Pepi, is the expectation.”

The Texas native is also a proven scorer at international level, bagging 13 in 33 caps for the US, and you could make a good case that a player of his ilk is exactly what West Ham are crying out for as one of the English top flight’s lowest-scoring teams right now.

Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz send Hong Kong hurtling to new T20I low

Chasing 194, they were bowled out for 38, the lowest total against a Full-Member team

Sidharth Monga02-Sep-20222:27

Arthur: Associate teams can find it tough on skiddy pitches

Pakistan made it to the Super 4s with a 155-run win over Hong Kong, who were bowled out for 38, the lowest total against a Full Member in T20 internationals. It will sound silly at the end of it all, but there were moments of concern when Pakistan were put in and found themselves stuck against Hong Kong’s slower bowlers on a low and slow pitch. However, Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan read the conditions well, and steered Pakistan towards a safe total. They then scored 129 in the last 10 overs and 77 in the last five to get to a well-above-par total, with some help from a Khushdil Shah assault.Pakistan’s quality with the ball then proved too much for Hong Kong, none of whose batters could make it to double figures, losing out to 10 extras. Naseem Shah and Shahnawaz Dahani set the tone with their high-pace spells before Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz took seven wickets in 4.4 overs between them to set up Pakistan’s biggest T20I win. This was also Hong Kong’s lowest total.Shadab Khan finished with figures of 4 for 8•AFP/Getty ImagesPakistan under pressure
Hong Kong went in with the same philosophy as against India: bowl at the stumps, give the batters no pace to work with, and build up dots. Pakistan, though, were in a must-win situation against a side that didn’t have much to lose. Early doors – as Babar Azam fell in the third over and Rizwan struggled for timing – it was apparent even 150 might be enough for an attack as good as Pakistan’s, but you can never say if two batters go for it and have a good day.Rizwan and Fakhar, though, didn’t look too hassled. They were happy to knock the ball around when the spinners were on. Fakhar looked to give the charge once in a while but the wily Yasim Murtaza kept him in check with slow pace and mastery over length. Rizwan kept trying to sweep, but struggled to find the right line for it. When they went into the drinks break halfway into the innings, neither Fakhar nor Rizwan was going faster than a run a ball. There might have been questions about their approach but this was not for want of trying. The conditions were difficult and the bowling good from a side that plays its home cricket on low, slow surfaces.Khushdil Shah’s unbeaten 15-ball 35 helped apply the finishing touches for Pakistan•AFP/Getty ImagesThe counter
After the drinks break, more used to the pace of the pitch, both batters started taking on the spinners. Rizwan skipped down to the tall legspinner Mohammad Ghazanfar to hit him over long-on. He kept attacking spin to break away from Fakhar and bring up his fifty off 42 balls. In the 15th over, Fakhar found his timing, and when he did, he hit a six and a four off left-arm spinner Murtaza in a 13-run 16th over.Fakhar got out soon after getting to his fifty, but the military medium of Ayush Shukla and Aizaz Khan was cannon fodder for Khushdil in the 18th and 20th overs. He ended the innings with four successive sixes off Aizaz.Bowling too good
The Hong Kong batters never looked at ease. They stayed deep in the crease to even full balls from the quicks, and looked to stay leg side of the ball. The first wicket was a result of that: captain Nizakat Khan looked to drive with his weight back, got no power into the shot and offered an easy catch off Naseem. Babar Hayat played three dots and heaved at one to be bowled top of off stump. Dahani hurried Murtaza up with a quick short one for a top-edge on the hook.The powerplay ended at 25 for 3, but Hong Kong’s troubles were only just beginning. Their batters failed to pick Shadab’s wrong’uns, and he proceeded to have fun with them. Three of his four wickets were bowled off wrong’uns: the first one on the cut, the second behind the legs, and the third off a big slog. Nawaz didn’t have to work hard either as the batters kept falling on the sweep. Zeeshan Ali tried to hit a six down the ground but found long-on.The end came as swiftly as the Shadab flipper to get No. 11 Ghazanfar lbw pad first.

Arsenal have struck gold with "superb" ace who’s worth far more than Cunha

There are less than two weeks until the transfer window closes, and Arsenal still haven’t made a single signing.

Mikel Arteta’s side have endured injuries, suspensions and spotty form, but remain second in the Premier League and, perhaps even more impressively, third in the Champions League table.

However, with the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus out injured, the team could really do with some new additions this month.

Arsenal manager MikelArtetacelebrates after the match

While the fans will be getting understandably nervous about the lack of action in this department, there have been an enormous number of players who’ve been linked with the club in recent weeks, suggesting that work is being done behind the scenes.

One of the most heavily linked players this month has been Wolverhampton Wanderers’ sensational Matheus Cunha, although while he’d be an incredibly exciting signing, he’s still worth considerably less than one of Arsenal’s stars.

Wolves striker Matheus Cunha

Arsenal's transfer targets

So, before examining the Arsenal player in question, let’s look at some of the attacking stars they’ve been linked with this month.

One of the most exciting players who has been touted for a move to the Emirates for months now is Nico Williams, and earlier this month, he was once again reported to be a key target for the Gunners.

The Athletic Bilbao star was sensational last season, racking up a haul of eight goals and 19 assists for the Basque outfit in just 37 appearances, but has taken a slight step back in terms of his output this term, scoring just three goals and providing five assists in 28 games.

Another winger that has been touted for a £50m move to N5 multiple times this month has been Brentford’s Bryan Mbuemo.

The Cameroon international has been on fire for the Bees this season, racking up 13 goals and four assists in just 26 games.

Not only would the former Troyes star bring more goals to the Gunners frontline, but he would be able to provide Saka with the chance to rest and actual competition.

However, as mentioned above, it’s Cunha who has been potentially the most heavily linked player this month, with reports suggesting he could be available for up to £80m.

That is undoubtedly a lot of money, but Wolves are understandably reluctant to sell their best player midway through the season, and for his part, he’s scored ten goals and provided four assists in just 22 games.

However, even if he were to cost as much as reported, he’d still be worth millions less than one of his potential teammates.

Wolverhampton Wanderers'JoaoGomescelebrates with Andre and Matheus Cunha after scoring

The Arsenal star worth millions more than Cunha

So, to get straight to the point, the Arsenal player we are talking about is none other than German international Kai Havertz.

The Gunners’ current first-choice striker is valued up to a whopping €121m by Football Transfers, which converts to about £102m, or a massive £22m more than the club might end up paying for Cunha this month.

Now, that is an almost absurd amount of money, and there are arguments against the former Chelsea ace being worth anywhere near it, but his record for the North Londoners is perhaps better than most might assume.

For example, despite enduring a rough patch of form earlier this month, the “superb” 25-year-old, as dubbed by Arteta, has still notched up an impressive tally of 14 goals and four assists in 30 appearances, which comes out to an average of a goal involvement every 1.66 games.

Moreover, the Aachen-born forward is also the club’s top goalscorer this season and ended last year as the third top goalscorer despite playing the first half of the campaign as a midfielder.

In fact, this ability to play both roles has probably upped his valuation somewhat, as there are not many players who can fill in up top and in the middle of the park.

Ultimately, Arsenal should still look to bring in Cunha this month, as he has been utterly sublime this season, but he’ll have to really impress to see his valuation eventually surpass Havertz’s.
