Man Utd approach Julian Nagelsmann amid ongoing crisis

Manchester United target Julian Nagelsmann as a potential replacement for Michael Carrick.

The Manchester United hierarchy have immediately contacted 39-year-old manager Julian Nagelsmann to replace Michael Carrick following a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Como in the Champions League, extending their winless run to seven matches. This defeat has slumped the Red Devils to 20th in the Champions League table with a mere three points – having won just two of their opening 11 games this season – amid dressing room unrest as Bruno Fernandes publicly criticised the team's pressing tactics ahead of the Bournemouth clash.

Dani Olmo suffers major injury blow, set to miss El Clasico

Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo is forced off with an adductor injury, ruling him out of El Clasico.

Barcelona have been dealt a massive blow as 28-year-old star Dani Olmo suffered a left adductor injury in the 27th minute against PSG, ruling him out for around four weeks. This significant setback means he will definitely miss the highly anticipated El Clasico clash against Real Madrid on 25 October, as well as the Champions League encounter with Aston Villa on 3 November 2026.
