Amorim says little-used Mainoo is proof he trusts Manchester United’s academy

Arsenal's Mikel Merino may retain his position as striker as the team prepares for upcoming matches, while Manchester City's Rodri remains unavailable due to injury. This situation follows a recent Premier League clash where West Ham managed a late equalizer against Manchester United, highlighting the competitive nature of the league.

Rui Borges, the head coach of Sporting, credits his loyalty to a Casio watch as a lucky charm that has aided in revitalizing the Lisbon club following the tumultuous departure of Ruben Amorim. The watch, purchased for €20 during his amateur playing days in Mirandela, symbolizes Borges's superstitious nature and his journey from obscurity to prominence in club football.

Manchester United's hopes for a fifth win in eight games were dashed when Soungoutou Magassa scored an equalizer for West Ham in the 83rd minute, resulting in a 1-1 draw. The goal came after a corner kick, where Noussair Mazraoui cleared the ball off the line, only for it to fall to Magassa, who netted his first goal for the Hammers.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed discomfort over his decision to bench Mohamed Salah during the team's recent victory against West Ham, emphasizing his desire to see Salah back on the pitch contributing positively rather than remaining sidelined. Salah's omission comes amid a challenging season for the player and the team, with his performance not meeting expectations as he prepares for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
