Jadon Sancho wants to rejoin Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window following his recent fall out with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, 90min understands. Sancho joined United from the Bundesliga club in 2021, but his career has failed to take off at Old Trafford in the two years since his £73m transfer . The 23-year-old has barely featured for United this season and was dropped from the squad completely for last month's 3-1 defeat at Arsenal. Ten Hag said following the Game that Sancho's performances in training had led to him being left out of the Travel ling party to London, though the 23-year-old later responded on social media saying he "would not allow people to say things that are untrue" and that he had been "made a scapegoat for too long". Sancho was subsequently excluded from first team training and remains so at this point, with some sources suggesting the relationship between Ten Hag and the player is beyond repair. An apolo...

30 players have been named on the list of nominations for the 2023 Ballon d'Or, but only one will be presented with the iconic trophy and considered the best player in the world this year. The last 12 months have seen players excel at club and international level, with the 2022 World Cup played in the middle of the usual domestic and European seasons. The long-list recognises both those who did well in Qatar and others who went above and beyond for their club sides. Lionel Messi is hoping to extend his own number of record wins, in with a chance of an unprecedented eighth Ballon d'Or thanks to his contribution to Argentina's World Cup win. But the 36-year-old will face stiff com Pet ition from the likes of Manchester City duo Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne for their leading roles in a 2022/23 treble. Kylian Mbappe had another outstanding individual year, while Jude Bellingham further cemented his status as one of the best there is. Nicolo Barella, Laautaro Martinez and ...

Kieran Tierney has denied rumours a clash with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta led to his move away from the club this summer. The Scotland left-back has joined Real Sociedad on a season-long loan deal after a campaign which yielded just six Premier League starts under Arteta, who preferred Oleksandr Zinchenko and January signing Jakub Kiwior in his position. Despite growing frustrated with his limited minutes, Tierney insisted he left Arsenal on good terms. "I left because last season I couldn't play a lot and what I wanted was to play a lot of Game s and I wanted to try to do it at Real," he told reporters. "I don't have any problem with Arsenal. "Knowing that Real wanted to have me here, feeling all the love from the people here was very good. Being in the Basque Country, having the experience of living here and playing in La Liga, is something I am very proud of. I hope things will go very well for me here."

Aymeric Laporte has bid farewell to Manchester City ahead of his impending move to Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, where he will link up with ex- Premier League players Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Alex Telles. Al Nassr made an offer for Laporte earlier this month, as reported by 90min , and were hoping to convince the Spain international to join them. He had been assessing his options before committing to anyone and Aston Villa also retained their interest in a transfer . In what has been a growing trend, Laporte took to social media on Wednesday evening to personally confirm his departure in an address to City fans. "It has lasted for five and a half unforgettable years. Plenty of memories that I will keep forever close to my heart," he posted alongside a video. "It's always easy to think of the good ones: the trophies, the wins, the goals, the tackles and the big fights in the Premier League . But I will also remember the bad ones: the injuries and being s...

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed he does not expect to see centre-back John Stones in action until after the September international break. Stones played 90 minutes in the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal but has missed City's last three Game s in all com Pet itions with a hip problem. After City's latest 1-0 victory over Newcastle United, Guardiola revealed Stones is still a few weeks away from being able to return . "John will not be ready until after the international break," Guardiola revealed. That means Stones, who has transitioned into a midfield role at club level, is likely to miss Game s against Sheffield United and Fulham, with the trip to West Ham United on 16 September a potential target for Stones.

Manchester United's shaky start to the 2023/24 season continued on Saturday with a 2-0 loss at Tottenham Hotspur. The Red Devils rode their luck a little to see off Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night at Old Trafford, but that fortune dried up and ran out in north London. Erik ten Hag's men were wasteful, particularly in the first half, while they were denied a penalty despite Cristian Romero appearing to handle the ball in the penalty area. Once Spurs took the lead through Pape Matar Sarr shortly after half-time, Man Utd struggled to maintain their upward trajectory. The Game was settled once Lisandro Martinez rolled the ball beyond his own goalkeeper in Andre Onana and into his own net. Here were Man Utd's best and worst performers, courtesy of 90min's full player ratings.

It's only taken a pair of British record transfer fees, but it looks like Chelsea may finally have a functional midfield again. While optimism was rife heading into the new season with Mauricio Pochettino at the helm, concerns were widespread about the lack of options in the Blues' engine room. Thus, Pochettino was forced to go bold in pre-season as Conor Gallagher was deployed in a deeper position, and while the England international performed well in the unfamiliar role, it was never going to be a long-term option. In the wake of their opening day draw with Liverpool, Chelsea moved quickly to wrap up the £115m signing of Moises Caicedo from Brighton. Now, the west London club are hoping to secure the services of Romeo Lavia, who's rejected a move to Anfield in favour of Stamford Bridge. Lavia starred in the top flight last season, and here's how he and Caicedo could fit in together within Pochettino's framework. Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia as a double pivot Rom...

"I am so excited to be here at this big club and I didn’t have to think twice when Chelsea called me, I just knew I wanted to sign for the club.

Christian Eriksen has insisted new Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund will offer something unique to the team after his £72m move from Atalanta. The 20-year-old was selected as Erik ten Hag's preferred striker target after a fascinating breakout campaign with Atalanta that saw Hojlund bag nine goals in 32 Game s as he found his feet in one of Europe's major leagues. On the international stage, Hojlund has six goals in six appearances for Denmark, lining up alongside new United teammate Eriksen - the man he jokingly nicknamed 'Agent Christian' thanks to the pair's conversations about life at Old Trafford. "He hasn't paid me yet so I don't know where he gets that 'agent' from! I haven't had any fee yet!" Eriksen laughed to MUTV .

It's official, Liverpool fans - Darwin Nunez is your new number 9. The chaotic striker has snatched his chance to inherit the iconic shirt following Roberto Firmino's move to Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia on a free transfer. Nunez's decision to take the number got us thinking about all the great strikers who have sported the 9 for Liverpool since the turn of the century. Here's 90min's ranking of every player to wear it since 2000. 10. Iago Aspas Aspas failed in England / Matthew Ashton/GettyImages Years: 2013 - 2014 Games: 15 Goals: 1 Iago Aspas has had a fine career in La Liga with Celta Vigo, but he was a huge disappointment in his one and only season in England. His only goal for Liverpool came against Oldham Athletic in the FA Cup - he failed to find the net in the Premier League - and the Spaniard's most memorable moment came when he played a Liverpool corner right into the path of an opposition player. Not great. 9. Rickie Lambert Lambert returned to Liver...
