The pundit does not feel Ten Hag's decision to publicly bash Jadon Sancho - the latest infraction he's had to deal with - was the right one

United have shown how serious they are about getting Sancho off the books, and there could be attempts to sign him from multiple sides as a result

Pochettino was set in his ideas on who he wanted to bring to Chelsea, and made his own transfer in the summer rather than going for a man the board had recommended

Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid are among the sides who have the option of making a very exciting signing next summer, and the former pair could disappoint Jude Bellingham

The strained relationship between Harry Kane and Daniel Levy will make it hard for the striker's return to come to fruition, but the chairman's exit decision could make it much more likely

"I just did my job, getting an interview was a nice scoop but the deals depend on players, agents, clubs and not journalists."

A Liverpool star has emerged on the shortlists of the European powerhouses, but Jurgen Klopp's offer to his star seems to be enough to hold them off

Gary Neville was concerned for Manchester United after being nowhere near the signings of two superstars, and instead signing lesser players, who have not yet been good enough

"And I think that next summer, there'll be battle within Saudi to try and get Salah and dealmakers are going to have to decide where the best club is strategically to place him."
