I remember when Rasmus Højlund joined #MUFC in 2023. He didn’t kick a ball for almost a month after the season started because of a back issue, despite arriving from Atalanta for €79.8m.

Back then, Manchester United didn’t have the recruitment and performance structure they have today. The club has since overhauled its medical department following the injury-plagued 2023/24 season.

If reports are accurate that medical concerns contributed to United stepping away from Ederson, it suggests the club is now being far more proactive in assessing long-term risk before completing a signing.

That’s exactly what good recruitment should look like. profile, evidence and due diligence before emotion. #MUFC

🚨🇧🇷 More on Éderson deal off exclusive story.

Atalanta are ready to welcome back their midfielder believing he’s fully fit and ready to play.

Manchester United will still sign at least another midfielder after Andrey Santos. 🆕

Third-place matches are meaningless.

That’s why I prefer the Euros and the Champions League.

Lose the semi-final, you go home. No consolation prize.

Chelsea’s surplus to requirements is at an all-time high following the signing of Morgan Rogers.

Look at the options:

• Morgan Rogers
• Cole Palmer
• Pedro Neto
• Jamie Gittens
• Estêvão
• Alejandro Garnacho (if he stays, although reports suggest he’s not part of the manager’s plans)
• Geovany Quenda

Quenda can also operate as a wing-back, as he did under Rúben Amorim at Sporting, which could influence Chelsea’s plans on the left side.

Xabi Alonso’s preferred 3-4-2-1 only accommodates two attacking midfielders behind the striker. If Rogers and Palmer are first choice, with Neto and Estêvão providing depth, minutes become very limited for everyone else.

With no European football to stretch the squad, Chelsea simply don’t need such a large group of attacking players. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Gittens leave on loan and Garnacho sold before the window closes.

Then again, Xabi Alonso is paid the big bucks to solve these selection headaches.

🚨🔵 Xabi Alonso, involved in Chelsea secret mission to get Morgan Rogers. 📞

#CFC manager spoke to Rogers, presented tactical project and was key to get the green light from the player to close in 24 hours.

I remember when the debate was Alen Halilović or Martin Ødegaard.

The rest is history.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🇭🇷 Alen Halilović, close to signing for Persepolis with negotiations underway.

Talks are advancing with former Barcelona player, free agent after leaving Fortuna Sittard.

[Tosin + The Machine™ @tosinandmachine]

The Morgan Rogers signing all but confirms Xabi Alonso’s preferred 3-4-2-1.

RHS: Morgan Rogers
LHS: Cole Palmer
ST: João Pedro

On paper, that’s one of the most exciting attacking trios in Europe.

But titles are won at both ends of the pitch. Chelsea still need an experienced organiser in defence before I put them in the same bracket as Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal.

🚨💰 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Morgan Rogers’ £117m (€138m) move to Chelsea will make him the 5th-most expensive signing in football HISTORY.

[Tosin + The Machine™ @tosinandmachine]

@HozoS Zirkzee i have defended him enough. He might not make it at the club. But let me give him some benefit of doubt.

[Tosin + The Machine™ @tosinandmachine]

Enough of recruitment philosophy. Thankfully, Manchester United are actually playing today. 😅

[Tosin + The Machine™ @tosinandmachine]

Looking beyond the headlines, I can understand why Chelsea have moved for Morgan Rogers.

✅ 55, 54 & 49 appearances over the last three seasons.
✅ 14 goals & 11 assists last season.
✅ 78 key passes and 18 big chances created.
✅ Covers 11.7km per 90 with 15.3 sprints per game.
✅ Elite ball carrier capable of playing as a No.10, left winger, right winger or second striker.
✅ Still only 23 years old with consistent year-on-year improvement.

The biggest debate isn’t whether he’s a top player.

It’s whether Chelsea are paying for today’s Morgan Rogers or tomorrow’s Morgan Rogers. 📈💰

Aston Villa have done exceptional business if that’s the fee. Selling a player for almost twice what many would consider his current market value is difficult to turn down.

@Beastslayerh It doesn’t it’s exhibition

[Tosin + The Machine™ @tosinandmachine]

Not expecting much from the first pre-season game. It’s all about building match rhythm, improving fitness, and understanding the manager’s ideas and instructions.

The more days on the training pitch, the more players return from holiday, and the stronger this team will become. Patience.
