Lisandro Martinez interview: Jason Wilcox again the target in latest Man Utd fallout

By Total Football News

Firstly, it must be pointed out Wilcox is going nowhere.

United sources say the 55-year-old is not in any danger of losing his job.

The club’s recruitment department is working on potential targets for January given it is accepted the strategy of not signing left-back competition for Luke Shaw and striking support for Benjamin Sesko was flawed.

Both players have missed matches already this term, with Sesko sidelined for an

Liverpool target Yankuba Minteh can still get dream move – Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler

By Total Football News

Even though Minteh did not leave the club, Brighton still raised significant funds through player sales in the window, including Carlos Baleba’s £70m move to Manchester United.

After generating those funds, Brighton completed a deadline move for Spanish defensive midfielder Chema Andres from Stuttgart in a deal worth £15.5m.

Andres made 41 appearances for Stuttgart last season after joining from Real Madrid in 2025.

He came through Real’s youth

Ed Still: New Watford head coach sets promotion target

By Total Football News

Still has taken over with Watford in 12th place, only three points away from the play-off places, but without a win in six games.

And he said that in the short term, whatever his preferred approach might be “doesn’t matter”.

He continued: “This isn’t about style and philosophy and massive principles and all of that, it’s about how we’re going to win at Preston on Saturday.

“Everything we do between

Frank Onyeka: Brentford midfielder a target for Coventry City and Sheffield United

By Total Football News

Coventry City are making progress in their talks to sign Brentford defensive midfielder Frank Onyeka before Monday’s transfer deadline.

The 28‑year‑old is also attracting interest from Sheffield United and is expected to decide his future within the next 24 hours.

Brentford have made the Nigeria international available for transfer after he became frustrated by a lack of first‑team opportunities under Keith Andrews, having experienced similar frustration during Thomas Frank’s tenure.

Mohamed Salah: Liverpool forward a target for Saudi clubs, confirms league chief

By Total Football News

“For sure Salah is one of them [a target].”

There have been reports Salah, who signed a two-year contract extension in April, could leave the Anfield club in January.

Saudi interest in Salah has long been known, with a reported £150m bid from Al-Ittihad rejected by Liverpool in September 2023, but this is the first time a league official has gone on the record about the player since his

Aston Villa 4-0 Bournemouth: Emiliano Buendia, Amadou Onana, Ross Barkley and Donyell Malen on target

By Total Football News

Villa’s apparent attacking shortcomings – especially in the early part of the season – have been well documented.

Those sluggish early games, when they went four matches without scoring, now feel like a distant memory.

After a fourth consecutive home win, Villa Park looks to be back to the fortress Unai Emery made it last season, when they lost just once in the league.

Their biggest margin of victory this

Charlton Athletic: Dare to dream? First target is 50 points

By Total Football News

A hugely satisfying week for Charlton Athletic.

On a personal note, any meeting between Hull City and Charlton Athletic means a little bit extra for me as my dad was born there and it just so happened this match was played on the anniversary of his passing.

The 1-1 draw brought an end to a week which was hugely satisfying, culminating in seven points out of nine.

This was our

Benjamin Sesko: Man Utd make RB Leipzig striker their number one target amid Newcastle interest

By Total Football News

Sesko does not fit Ruben Amorim’s preferred template of having Premier League experience.

However, he has become one of the most highly rated young forwards in Europe – and his record of 39 goals in 87 appearances for RB Leipzig is impressive.

At 6ft 5in he would also bring a significant physical presence to United’s front line.

Old Trafford sources say they do not have to sell players in order

Bryan Mbeumo: What will Man Utd target offer Red Devils?

By Total Football News

Amorim spoke often enough last season about United’s failure to make the most of their opportunities.

They need to score much more than the paltry 44 league goals they managed last season.

Mbeumo’s arrival should help address that shortfall but, as with Cunha, the Cameroon forward will offer more than that.

He has the power and strength to carry the ball forward. Too many of United’s attacking players are the
