Enzo Maresca responds after Man Utd ‘contact’ former Chelsea manager to replace Ruben Amorim
Enzo Maresca is interested in replacing Ruben Amorim as the manager of Manchester United, sources have told TEAMtalk, with the Italian having departed Chelsea on New Year’s Day, but the club’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, is not putting all his eggs in one basket.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
Man Utd parted company with Amorim on Monday following his explosive comments about his role at Old Trafford after the 1-1 draw with Leeds United at Elland Road in the Premier League on Sunday.
Amorim said on Sunday: “I just want to say I came here to be the manager, not to be the coach.
“In every department – the scouting department, the sporting director – [they] need to do their job. I will do mine for 18 months, and then we move on.
“I just want to say that I’m going to be the manager of this team, not just the coach. I was really clear on that.
“That is going to finish in 18 months, and then everyone is going to move on. That was the deal. That is my job. Not to be a coach.”
In a quick turn of events, Man Utd have decided to part company with Amorim, with the club already making contact with one of the candidates to replace the Portuguese at Old Trafford.
We can reveal that Maresca’s camp, led by recently appointed super-agent Jorge Mendes, have already had contact with Man Utd as they assess their options.
Sources have told us that Maresca, who himself left Chelsea on January 1 after falling out with the Blues’ owners, is interested in taking charge at Old Trafford.
We understand Man Utd CEO Omar Berrada is an admirer of Maresca stemming back from their time together at Manchester City. Sporting director Jason Wilcox is also understood to be a fan and believes he has the right temperament to succeed under the Old Trafford spotlight.
Man Utd Under-18 head coach Darren Fletcher has been placed in charge of the first team for the Premier League game against Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday.
Sources have told us that Man Utd would consider keeping Fletcher until the summer if they thought that was the better way to address the managerial situation in the long term.

Man Utd have THREE other options – sources
Despite Maresca’s willingness to get back into management and take charge of Man Utd, Wilcox is keeping his options open.
We understand that Wilcox already had a list of options should Amorim leave.
We revealed before Amorim got sacked that Michael Carrick is someone that the Man Utd hierarchy rate highly.
Carrick, a former Man Utd player, has previously been part of the coaching set-up at Old Trafford and could come in on an interim basis in the short term.
Sources have told us that former England manager Gareth Southgate is held in high regard by Man Utd co-owners INEOS, headed by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
We can confirm that Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna is on Man Utd’s radar, too, though any move for the Northern Irishman is not considered a priority right now.
Wilcox and others at Man Utd are huge admirers of McKenna, who served as a coach at Old Trafford.
Ratcliffe and Berrada will be part of the process of hiring the next Man Utd manager, but the final decision will be Wilcox’s.

Super Eagles midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru has emerged as a top target for Championship side West Bromwich Albion, Soccernet.ng reports.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The Baggies are looking to bolster their midfield during the January window to sustain their push for promotion to the Premier League.
Currently, West Brom find themselves in 19 position on the Championship table, but they are looking to plug the holes in the team.
Asides from their defensive concerns, the Baggies have struggled for creativity and clinical finishing in the final third.
With 32 goals in 29 games, their output is among the lowest in the top 20 teams. However, with 17 games remaining, the club remains firmly in the hunt for a playoff spot.
According to West Brom Xtra, the club has identified Dele-Bashiru as a key target to solve these issues.
The Super Eagles star is a dynamic attacking midfielder known for his high work rate and ability to contribute goals from deep. His arrival would provide a significant boost to Carlos Corberán’s squad.
Why It Will Be Tough To Get Dele-Bashiru’s Signature
While Dele-Bashiru would be a massive coup for West Brom, getting a deal will be complicated. He is currently on the books at Serie A side Lazio, and the 24-year-old has experienced a turbulent tenure since arriving in Italy two years ago.
Dele-Bashiru has endured inconsistent playing time due to a combination of tactical shifts and minor injuries.
Under manager Maurizio Sarri, he has struggled to cement himself as an indispensable member of the starting XI.
The main challenge for West Brom will likely be in the prestige gap; moving from a top-tier Italian side to the English second tier is often viewed as a step down.
However, the lure of regular football and a path back to the Premier League could be persuasive.
Financially, the deal is feasible. Dele-Bashiru is valued between €7–10 million, which is an okay price point for the Baggies.
If the move materializes, he will join the list of Super Eagles stars to have represented the club, including Semi Ajayi and the legendary Peter Odemwingie.

Adams Akor broke new ground in Nigerian football history on Saturday night as his penalty helped Sevilla to a 2-1 comeback win over Athletic Club and secured the club’s first La Liga victory of 2026, Soccernet.ng reports.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The Super Eagles striker struck in the second half at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán to take his personal tally in Spain’s top flight to six goals, a figure that now places him 11th on the list of Nigeria’s all-time La Liga scorers.
It was Adams’ third goal in two matches since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, where he helped Nigeria claim the bronze medal, and another reminder of his growing importance to Matías Almeyda’s side.
More significantly, the goal carried historical weight. With six La Liga strikes, Adams has now moved ahead of legendary Super Eagles forward Rashidi Yekini, who scored three times in the competition, and has also overtaken the marks set by Bartholomew Ogbeche (three) and Christantus Uche (five).
While Adams still has a long way to go to threaten the towering figures of Christopher Ohenhen (48 goals), Finidi George (43) and Ikechukwu Uche (43), his steady progress is a pointer to how quickly he is carving out his own place in Nigerian football’s European story.
Comeback win lifts Akor Adams’ Sevilla up the table
The match itself was a tight, nervy affair between two sides separated by little in the table.
Athletic Club struck first in the 40th minute through Robert Navarro, but Sevilla hit back almost immediately when Gerard Fernández levelled the score just two minutes later to send both teams into the break on equal terms.
Ten minutes after the restart came the decisive moment. Yuri Berchiche was penalised for a handball in the box, and after a VAR check confirmed the offence, Adams stepped up and calmly rolled the penalty into the bottom-left corner to complete the turnaround.
Athletic Club pushed hard for an equaliser, but Sevilla held their shape and saw out the contest, condemning the visitors to their seventh away defeat in 11 league matches this season.
The victory lifts Sevilla above Athletic into 11th place. Both sides are now on 24 points after 21 games, but Sevilla’s superior goal difference gives them the edge and, crucially, leaves them five points clear of the relegation zone.
For Adams, it also marks his most productive La Liga campaign so far, matching the momentum he showed during the 2023-24 season at Montpellier, when he scored eight league goals.
Sevilla now travel to face Mallorca on Monday, February 2, while Athletic Club turn their attention to Europe, hosting Sporting CP in the Champions League.

Victor Osimhen became the fastest player to reach 50 goals in Galatasaray’s history as the Turkish champions claimed a 3-1 away win at Fatih Karagumruk on Saturday night, Soccernet.ng reports.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The Nigeria striker reached the landmark in just 59 appearances when he scored the third goal of the game, capping another strong display from the league leaders.
Victor Osimhen’s latest strike also confirmed his growing status as one of the most important players in the club’s recent history.
Galatasaray went into the match looking to protect their lead at the top of the Super Lig and made the perfect start. Inside the opening minute, Gabriel Sara punished a mistake from the home side while they tried to play out from defence, calmly finishing to give the visitors an early advantage.
Karagumruk struggled to create chances but made the most of their best moment in the first half. In the 27th minute, Serginho led a quick counter-attack before squaring the ball for Kalayci, who curled a fine shot into the top corner to level the score with what turned out to be the hosts’ only effort on target before the break.
Victor Osimhen seals victory and makes history
Galatasaray came out with more control after half-time and soon regained the lead. A patient move ended with Rolland Sallai sending in a cross, and Gabriel Sara arrived at the right time to head home his second goal of the night and make it 2-1.
Four minutes later, the moment everyone was waiting for arrived. Osimhen controlled a cross from Gündoğan with his chest inside the box and fired a powerful shot into the roof of the net. It was his 50th goal for the club and one that put the result beyond doubt.
The win keeps Galatasaray top of the Super Lig table with 46 points, four clear of second-placed Fenerbahçe, who still have a game in hand. Karagumruk, meanwhile, remain bottom of the standings with just nine points from 19 matches.
Osimhen’s goal was his seventh in the league this season and his 13th in all competitions in 18 appearances. Last season, he scored 37 goals in 41 games and played a key role as Galatasaray won both the Super Lig title and the Turkish Cup. Once again, he proved he is a player who delivers on the biggest nights.
GOL! Fatih Karagümrük 1-3 Galatasaray (55' Osimhen)
