- Chelsea are reassessing their goalkeeping plans after Robert Sanchez’s five‑minute red card at Old Trafford, with scouts evaluating replacements, according to Football Insider.
- Maignan’s contract is reported to expire next year, making a January pre‑contract or cut‑price move possible after Milan’s earlier valuation blocked a summer switch.
- United signed Senne Lammens for £18.2m and loaned out Andre Onana to Trabzonspor, yet Amorim has stated there is no guaranteed first‑choice, with Altay Bayindir starting league games so far.
- Pundits Paul Merson and Jamie Carragher have criticised Chelsea’s recruitment approach and argued the team needs an elite goalkeeper to compete for major honours.
