Martinez's future at Man Utd in doubt - Thursday's gossip
Retold by Oddsrama · 14 October 2026
Lisandro Martinez's Manchester United future is looking decidedly uncertain. The 28-year-old Argentine defender has been vocal in his criticism of the club's management, and insiders reckon there's real doubt over whether the Red Devils will extend his deal beyond next summer. For punters watching United's form and squad stability, this kind of internal friction can often signal deeper problems — worth monitoring when assessing their odds for the season ahead.
Elsewhere in the transfer rumour mill, both Manchester United and Arsenal are circling Newcastle United's young Ivorian winger Bazoumana Toure. The 20-year-old only touched down at St James' Park this summer, so any serious move would be a surprise, but top clubs clearly see potential. Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho could be headed to Spanish outfit Getafe on a free transfer — the club is exploring ways to accommodate the English winger's wages as he looks for a fresh start away from Old Trafford.
Across Europe, Jose Mourinho has backed Real Madrid's young Brazilian striker Endrick to shine without requiring a January loan move, tipping the 20-year-old for huge success in La Liga. On the management carousel, former Wolves and Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira is eyeing a Premier League return and is being linked with struggling Fulham. Brighton's Fabian Hurzeler is also on United's radar should the board decide to sack Michael Carrick, with Antonio Conte and Julian Nagelsmann reportedly on their shortlist as well.
Liverpool are pushing hard to land Mexico's young midfielder Gilberto Mora from Club Tijuana, hoping to wrap up a deal in January, while Leeds are bracing themselves for a possible summer exit of Bosnia defender Tarik Muharemovic, with Bayern Munich sniffing around. Barcelona have begun tracking Germany U21 striker Nicolo Tresoldi after his hat-trick heroics for Club Brugge against Inter Milan.
