Plus, it has been revealed that Chelsea have given Mykhailo Mudryk some rather odd instructions and that Jadon Sancho moving to Saudi Arabia was a distinct possibility before their transfer window shut. There's plenty to cover, so let's jump right in.

Ten Hag out?!

Former Red Devils player Paul Parker has claimed that if Erik ten Hag continues to pick Anthony Martial over Rasmus Hojlund it should be deemed a sackable offence.

Ten Hag is also under pressure because of the ongoing Jadon Sancho issue. The Englishman received a loan offer from Saudi Arabia.

But a deal couldn't be struck and he will now stay at Man Utd - but what happens next?

Mudryk instruction

Chelsea have told Mykhailo Mudryk to tone it down in the gym because the feeling is that he is overdoing it.

If that wasn't weird enough, Todd Boehly and company have decided that they need to splash a few more million - but not on players, no, on something so outlandish it is almost hard to believe.

Liverpool rejected

It has also been revealed that Moises Caicedo wasn't the only €100m+ midfielder to reject Liverpool over the summer.

Haaland's perfect partner

Evan Ferguson is currently the flavour of the month in the Premier League and for good reason. Some see him as the heir to Erling Haaland, but he would actually be better as the Man City star's strike partner!

Transfer news

Finally, let's finish up on some more transfer news from around the world. The Saudi Pro League transfer window has slammed shut, so here are the ten biggest transfers of the summer.

Chelsea are interested in an 18-year-old nicknamed the 'Norwegian Mbappe.'

Joao Felix gave up a fortune to sign for Barcelona.

Is Jude Bellingham's popularity at Real Madrid a potential problem in Los Blancos' pursuit of Kylian Mbappe?

And finally, a World Cup winner rejected an astronomical offer from the Saudi Pro League.
