of manchester united Interest in Rafael Leao has been a topic of discussion in recent weeks. The attacker is now struggling and is at the center of AC Milan’s goalscoring issues.

sports witness Covered Jorge Mendes’ involvement in a potential transfer. AC Milan are relying on the super-agent to find a new club for the attacker.

Through Mendes, Manchester United made initial contact to explore the terms of a deal. The Red Devils have an excellent relationship with the agent, having acquired Manuel Ugarte and Lenny Yoro through his work.

A deal for Leo will be cheaper than before, but that’s because his star has faded.

Leo made noise over the weekend

transfer market The report added that Leao’s performance against Atalanta was another ‘black mark’ on his season. Initially he was not expected to play but despite being given the start, he showed an ‘indifferent attitude’.

The game was important for the Rossoneri. Roma’s win over Parma took them level on points with Milan, who found themselves fourth in the table. They lost 3-2 and are now in serious danger of missing out on Champions League football.

The outlet accused Leao of ‘missing goals, poor play’ and was heavily criticized when he was removed in the second half.

Fans at San Siro protested against CEO Giorgio Furlani before the game. The 26-year-old’s performance enraged them further and the loudest boos were heard when the Portugal international was substituted.

Calciomercato doesn’t end there, adding that Leao is ‘hooked’ on the touchline.

Our Opinion: LEO is becoming an easy target

This may worry Manchester United, but AC Milan are generally struggling. They have won only three league games from nine, going from a title challenger to a team that could clinch a Conference League place.

As is often the case, their best player receives the most criticism. The issues are big, as evidenced by the protests against Furlani and Redbird ownership. Max Allegri’s system is also failing to bring out the best from Leo, who finds himself deeper and forced to cover more distances.

The Buffalo Sabers weren’t about to fool the Boston Bruins twice.

The Sabers stunned the Bruins with four third period goals to steal Game 1 of the series between the Atlantic Division foes.

However, Boston got its revenge in Game 2, scoring three goals in the middle frame, and another quick goal early in the third on Tuesday night, resulting in a 4–2 Bruins victory that tied the series with Buffalo.

Sabers goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen blamed himself.

“It’s my fault,” Luukkonen said. “There is no way around it.”

Trailing 1-0 on the backend of the second period, the Bruins’ Morgan Geikie delivered a backhanded clear lob from center ice to the Sabres’ zone. A favorable layup went Boston’s way, Luukkonen calmly dodged it to give the Bruins a 2–0 lead.

That’s when the game started to spiral for the Sabres.

Tage Thompson took an interference penalty shortly thereafter, leading to Pavel Zacha’s first goal of the series on the power play and a 3–0 lead for Boston.

“It’s a bad bounce, but there’s no way to avoid it. It can’t go in,” Luukkonen said. “I kind of read a bad read about it, but that’s about it. I was trying to get to it before it flipped, but when you start questioning yourself and doing things like that, you get bad bounces. It’s unfortunate, but you’ve got to play through it.”

Well, Luukkonen missed only 16 seconds of the third period, allowing Viktor Arvidsson to score his second goal of the night to make the game 4–0. Sabers head coach Lindy Ruff immediately pulled him for Alex Lyons.

And as Luukkonen said, he clearly questioned himself.

Ruff turned to Alex Lyons for the remainder of the third period and suddenly Buffalo’s confidence was restored.

The Lyon side made his job easy as he only saw seven shots and made seven saves.

That’s because Buffalo played most of the final frame in the offensive zone, outscoring Jeremy Swayman on 20 shots in the third period and scoring twice on the sticks of Bowen Byram and Peyton Krebs.

In fact, Ruff even said that Game 3 could go to Lyon instead of Luukkonen.

“I think if you look at the year and the way it unfolded and how successful we were when we were rotating goaltenders, and then Alex [Lyon] Got injured, so he missed a few games, but just felt there might be a chance we would need him,” Ruff said. “Could play the next game, but just give him a period of playing time, because he hasn’t played in a while.”

This is where inexperience could hurt them for the Sabres.

Buffalo began the 2025–26 season quite inconsistently, but proceeded to win the Atlantic Division through December for the rest of the season.

However, this is the first time in 14 seasons that the Sabers have been back to the playoffs. Most of the roster, including Luukkonen, had never held the position before.

Luukkonen and Lyon split the load for the surging Sabers this season. However, it is ideal to hopefully make a run with a goaltender in the postseason

In January, sports witness Spain cover up claims Barcelona regret failure to identify Micky Van de Veen before he joined Tottenham.

The example was used as a reason why the Catalan club is now attempting to focus on signing certain talents early in their careers. They did not take risks with Van de Ven and this was seen as a ‘lesson’ that Barcelona does not want to repeat.

Now, the Spanish giants themselves are interested in bringing in the Tottenham player. With Spurs struggling, this summer is seen as the perfect opportunity to bring him to the Camp Nou.

game Report in detail on the defender, describing him as an alternative to Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni.

Van de Ven is demanding an exit from Tottenham

According to the Spanish newspaper, Bastoni was Barca’s first choice to improve their defence. At the moment, Inter do not want to let this player go and his price is also very high.

That’s why Tottenham’s Van de Ven is seen as a viable option. It is believed that he would prefer to join Barcelona rather than Real Madrid.

There have been very positive reports about Hansi Flick on both a professional and personal level. The price is set at €65m or slightly less.

Van de Ven’s stance is likely to be important. Sports State ‘does not want to stay’ at Tottenham due to current ‘crisis’.

Barça is waiting for the resolution of doubts

Sport further claimed that Barcelona have some minor doubts about the Netherlands international. He has been made aware of some of the mistakes he has made this season. This is raising concerns whether he is suitable for Flick’s high-line setup.

That is why Van de Ven will be considered further.

Tottenham brought the defender from Wolfsburg in 2024. The 24-year-old’s departure would be a benefit, but it would also leave a hole for the Premier League club to fill.

Andre Onana lost his place in Manchester United’s starting eleven to Altay Bayindir at the start of the season.

The goalkeeper fell further down the pecking order with the arrival of Sené Lemmens to Old Trafford from Royal Antwerp on summer deadline day. Manchester United then allowed Onana to join Trabzonspor on a season-long loan deal.

Onana has kept four clean sheets and conceded 29 goals in 19 matches in all competitions for the Turkish club.

Decline in form of Manchester United players

The Cameroon international is being criticized for his recent decline in form As such Provide the latest now.

Onana had made a good start to his Süper Lig career, but his performances declined in recent weeks, resulting in criticism. This intensified after the Turkish club’s 2–3 defeat at the hands of Fenerbahçe.

According to the newspaper, the Manchester United player has received support from his current teammates and Trabzonspor’s coaching staff.

In fact, Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke held a private meeting with the 29-year-old to express his confidence.

The manager reportedly told Onana: ‘We trust you. You are one of the leading players of this team. Everyone goes through inauspicious times. You are one of the best in Europe.’

According to Takvim, the Tekke meeting was to ‘boost the morale’ of the Red Devils stopper.

Uncertain future of Manchester United player

Northern ExpressTrabzonspor’s local outlet also shares its opinion on Cameroon’s recent poor form and Tekke’s personal meeting.

Fenerbahçe only had three shots on target and each resulted in a goal.

According to Kuze Express, the coach has personally urged Onana to recover mentally and physically following a ‘sharp decline’ in his form. Tekke is also considering the possibility of leaving him out of the lineup.

Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Doğan recently said that his side is not a priority for Onana’s future plans. Apart from this, the cost of maintaining it will also be high.

In short, the stopper’s high salary and declined form means he will not remain at Trabzonspor beyond this season. Onana will return to Manchester United, who will have to find a solution in the summer.
