The international break is over, and as football returns to the club format once more, many eyes will be set upon 20-time Premier League champions Manchester United. The side is set to continue its campaign by taking on Everton in their next game on November 25.
One of the biggest problems that they face ahead of the continuation would be them missing some of their key players. It is quite possible that Manchester United will be without the services of three key players due to their participation in the AFCON, and head coach Ruben Amorim came forward to have a say about the same.
"We have the rules when we will have to release the players. We are trying to have the players a bit longer but we will see. I think it is two weeks before the start. We will try to arrange something with the federations. We already knew (about AFCON), so it is a chance for other players. It is not ideal, they are so important in our squad,” Amorim was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
Joe Cole discusses Manchester United’s transfer targets
Speaking of the upcoming transfer window in January, former footballer Joe Cole came forward and urged Chelsea FC to sign Antoine Semenyo from AFC Bournemouth, who is on the transfer list of several clubs ahead of the winter window.
"Knowing Chelsea, he might be too old! I'd have to check his age, but from a football perspective, if he's available and he wants to come, it's a no-brainer in terms of bringing him into the football club,” Cole told Paddy Power.
"With Chelsea's model, there'll be a financial element and evaluation element to it, so it'll come down to that. He'd be a welcome addition to the Chelsea squad, and he probably starts, because he's been superb for Bournemouth," he added.
