Real Madrid missed out on a move for Rodri this summer, but Jose Mourinho is happy with the six new players the club have already signed. The post ‘The squad is closed’ – Mourinho thrilled with Madrid signings despite Rodri miss appeared first on SoccerNews.
United looking to sign a left-back before the transfer window closes (Picture: Rex Features) Former Manchester United star Paul Parker has urged the club to sign West Ham’s El Hadji Malick Diouf to solve their problem at left-back. United have finished their midfield rebuild with Carlos Baleba set to join the club alongside Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. But the club are still eager to bring in another option at left-back before next week’s transfer deadline. Luke Shaw started every Premier League match for United last season but given his injury record, there are concerns over whether he can stay fit with their return to the Champions League bringing in a more demanding schedule. Shaw’s fitness issues have been well-documented over the years with his performance in the opening day defeat to Hull City also put under the spotlight, directly at fault for the Tigers’ second goal.

United are keen on Lewis Hall but Newcastle United have firmly closed the door on any move this summer. The club have held talks over a move for Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde with the left-back considering leaving the Camp Nou, with Racing Santander’s Jorge Salinas another option under consideration. Parker, who spent five years at United under Sir Alex Ferguson, fears Shaw’s limitations mean United must do business in the next week, naming West Ham’s Diouf as a ready-make option to come in. Diouf could leave West Ham before deadline day (Picture: Rex Features) The Senegal international is wanted by Brentford but Parker has urged his old side to swoop in, believing a deal could be done for around £30million. ‘They can’t put themselves in the position of being stuck with Shaw and having to rely on him because he can’t do what the modern day left back does,’ Parker told Metro, via GambleGuru UK. ‘You want someone who wants to run rather than someone who is only going to run if he’s going to get the ball. ‘For £30 odd million, why don’t United sign Diouf from West Ham? Shaw struggled on the opening day against Hull (Picture: REUTERS) ‘Great left foot, wonderful crosser without a doubt. He gets up and down he’s quite content in defence, but if you get enough possession, he will get forward and he’ll create goals. ‘He isn’t big money and you’ve got somebody who’s already played in this league rather than go and bring somebody from Barcelona who hasn’t, and you’ve got someone there who actually knows the league and will just adapt straight away. That makes sense, but I don’t know if that fits the criteria of people at United and who they want to sign. ‘He’s got the quality to pull on the shirt, without a shadow of a doubt.’ Comment now Comments Add Metro as a Preferred Source on Google Add as preferred source

After being forced out in La Liga debut, FC Barcelona issued an encouraging injury update on Gavi. Gavi provided the main injury scare during FC Barcelona‘s La Liga debut against Elche, as the midfielder was forced off the pitch before halftime. Just one day after Barca secured a dominant 5-0 victory, the young Spaniard received an encouraging update regarding his condition. With Rodri still working his way toward full match fitness and Pedri starting on the bench, Gavi earned the start for Barcelona in a double pivot alongside Marc Casado. However, in the 44th minute, Gavi went down clutching his right knee. While he was able to walk off the field under his own power, he was immediately ruled out from continuing. Pedri entered as a substitute to replace Gavi, who was captured by broadcast cameras walking along the touchline visibly emotional, triggering widespread concern over another potential knee setback. Fortunately for the midfielder, medical testing revealed the issue was nothing more than a minor scare. FC Barcelona released an official medical report offering an optimistic diagnosis for the youngster: “First team player Pablo Gavi took a knock to his right knee during yesterday’s game. Medical tests carried out this morning have confirmed that it is only a bruise. He is expected to return to training shortly.“ ‼️𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧First team player @pablogavi took a knock to his right knee during yesterday's game.Medical tests carried out this morning have confirmed that it is only a bruise.He is expected to return to training shortly. pic.twitter.com/UYlNq6bcS9— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) August 24, 2026 Gavi’s history with his right knee The moment he felt discomfort, Gavi minimized his movements to prevent further aggravating his right knee, which has been the primary source of his medical hurdles in recent years. While playing for the Spain national team in November 2023, Gavi suffered a complete ACL tear and lateral meniscus damage, an injury that sidelined him for nearly a year. Later in 2025, he underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his internal meniscus following an ineffective conservative recovery process, with surgeons suturing the tissue to safeguard the joint long-term. Gavi’s message following the medical exams Suffering an impact on that exact same joint immediately raised alarms for both Gavi and Barcelona’s medical staff, explaining his emotional departure toward the tunnel. However, the positive test results brought immediate relief to the player, who will likely sit out Thursday’s La Liga match against Athletic Bilbao as a precaution rather than facing any long-term absence. Prior to the club’s official statement, Gavi took to social media to express gratitude for the outpouring of support: “Thank you to those who are always with me supporting me and are with me to the end!! I don’t understand football any other way; I’m sorry for making you suffer so much.“
