According to reports, new Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has already decided that one of Erik ten Hag’s signings is ‘not in his plans’.

Ten Hag won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup during his time at Man Utd, but his struggles in the Premier League and Europe weighed him down before he was sacked at the end of last month.

The Dutchman had a major say in transfers and the Premier League giants made some poor signings while he was in charge.

Most of his recruits have struggled at Man Utd and Gary Neville reckons Ten Hag made “two of the worst signings” in their history.

However, Andre Onana – who initially struggled following his move from Inter Milan – has come good for Man Utd and has been one of their most consistent performers over the past year.

The Cameroon international – who previously played under Ten Hag at Ajax – was bought for around £43m when Man Utd were in the market for a goalkeeper to replace David De Gea during the 2023 summer transfer window.

Ten Hag left Man Utd after his side only won three of their opening nine Premier League games, so Amorim could push co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his recruitment team to make signings once the winter transfer window opens.

A report claims Man Utd’s priority is on signing a striker and centre-midfielder but they could also do with bringing in a new left-back.

This could make for a hectic January window and despite his positive form, Onana’s future is reportedly at risk as Amorim ‘doesn’t want him’ and is prepared to say ‘goodbye’.

It is claimed that Amorim has ‘not hesitated to point out that several aspects of the squad must change’ and Onana is the ‘first player who does not enter into his plans’.

Amorim is right if he’s recognised that Man Utd’s ‘squad must change’, but he should have more pressing concerns about other positions.

Given he’s been one of Man Utd’s standout performers, it’s hard to see a scenario where Onana is replaced in 2025, but the report claims his ‘future is up in the air’ as Amorim is ‘unconvinced’.

‘Andre Onana’s future now seems to be in doubt. With Amorim taking over, the possibility of an exit for the Cameroonian goalkeeper is becoming an increasingly likely option.

‘There are rumours that several clubs in the Premier League and other European leagues, including teams from La Liga and Serie A, could be interested in signing the goalkeeper.

‘Onana will have to make a decision soon, since with the arrival of Amorim at Old Trafford, his stay at Manchester United seems increasingly distant.’

Energy, technique, speed and a pinch of madness are the things to he brought to the world stage every time he scored a goal: an explosive mix of qualities that allowed Obafemi Martins to be loved by so many Nerazzurri fans.

After arriving in 2001, Oba Oba began his career with the Primavera, a side that he won a league title and Torneo di Viareggio with before being moved up to the First Team. He made his debut in December 2002, scoring the first of his 49 goals for the Nerazzurri on 19 March 2003 against Bayer Leverkusen in Champions League. On that occasion, he celebrated for the first time with an amazing series of flips, a celebration that became his trademark.

Milan, Juventus, Arsenal, Benfica: these are just some of the big sides that he has scored against in some brilliant clashes, especially in the Champions League, a competition in which he has scored 10 times (one of them coming in the qualifying rounds).

He was a rapid forward with brilliant technical ability, in his five years for the Nerazzurri, Martins made 134 appearances, winning a Scudetto, two Coppa Italia’s, and a Supercoppa Italiana, giving a decisive edge to a talented group of players, which gave way to a long number of successes.

Today Obafemi Martins celebrates his 40th Birthday and receives the best of wishes from FC Internazionale Milan and all of the Nerazzurri on this special day!

Richarlison marked his first start of the season with a second-half winner to help Tottenham edge past AZ Alkmaar by a 1-0 score and earn a third consecutive Europa League win.

The Brazil international chipped home from the penalty spot in the 53rd-minute, which ensured he avoided a post-match dressing down after he initially would not give the ball to stand-in captain James Maddison.

When Maddison did get the ball back, he quickly had a change of heart and let Richarlison take the spot-kick and score for the first time since May after a troublesome calf injury to help Spurs clinch a seventh win from eight games.

Ange Postecoglou made nine changes from the 4-1 win over West Ham with Mikey Moore was handed his first start at home.

Moore should have marked it with a goal in the fifth minute, but headed wide from close-range after an excellent inswinging cross by Timo Werner.

AZ lost Ruben van Bommel, the son of former Netherlands international Mark, to an injury after 12 minutes, but a fine run by Ernest Poku created an opportunity for ex-Spurs forward Troy Parrott, but his low effort was blocked.

Chances remained limited before the match burst into life when a wonderful outside of the boot pass by Lucas Bergvall sent Werner away only for the RB Leipzig loanee to side-foot weakly straight at Rome-Jayden Owusu-Oduro.

The visitors responded when Sven Mijnans’ corner found Alexandre Penetra, but his powerful header was superbly clawed away by Fraser Forster in the 29th-minute.

Penetra was involved again two minutes later when he dived in on Maddison inside the area and despite the Spurs midfielder going down, a quick VAR check showed it had been a clean tackle.

Werner sent another effort wide moments later after Richarlison won the ball back before a slack pass by the German attacker forced Forster to rush out to deny Mijnans.

With the breakthrough yet to arrive, Postecoglou made another half-time substitution – like against West Ham – with Werner replaced by Brennan Johnson.

Moore was moved out to his favoured left wing position and responded with a dazzling run and pass into Johnson, but his effort was blocked before the 17-year-old then nearly picked out Richarlison.

Tottenham had gone up a gear and the opener did arrive in the 53rd-minute after Bergvall was brought down by Dekker inside the penalty area.

Richarlison chipped home the spot-kick for his first goal of the season but only after an awkward moment with Maddison beforehand.

Maddison required Rodrigo Bentancur to intervene and convince Richarlison to let go of the ball, but after Spurs vice-captain Maddison got the ball back, he had change of heart and let the Brazil international take the spot-kick.

Moore produced more magic soon after when he skipped past Seiya Maikuma and fizzed an effort wide.

AZ had threatened though moments earlier when Radu Dragusin appeared to be fouled but play continued and Bentancur had to slide in to thwart Poku.

Forster was called into action in the 74th-minute with a crucial low save to deny Mayckel Lahdo, but the visitors’ hopes of a late equaliser were dealt a blow when Maxim Dekker was sent off after he received two yellow cards in quick succession as Tottenham held on to stay perfect in the competition
