🚨🚨| JUST IN: Manchester United will go all-out to sign Antoine Semenyo in January and hope the uncertainty over Pep Guardiola’s future could strengthen their hand. 🔴🇬🇧 [@TelegraphDucker]

🚨 Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is high among the candidates Manchester City are considering in case Pep Guardiola exits the Etihad Stadium next summer. According to numerous well-placed sources outside the club — speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships — there is a growing anticipation of this being Guardiola’s last season at City. A firm decision will likely be made closer to the campaign finishing. More from @David_Ornstein 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/68967…

#MUFC in hunt for Antoine Semenyo & hoping uncertainty over Guardiola’s future at #MCFC may strengthen hand in battle to sign the much coveted #BOU player. #THFC & #LFC also in mix. United wanted to sign him last summer but put off by £80m+ asking price telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

Enzo Maresca is understood to be a candidate for the Manchester City job, with it possible Pep Guardiola leaves this summer, as @David_Ornstein called. Chelsea declined to comment. Maresca is contracted until 2030 and any approach for him would need to take place via Chelsea and require significant compensation. #MCFC sources note Pep is contracted beyond this summer and refused to be drawn on speculation. Chelsea want to keep Maresca, and a pre-planned review on his performance is set for this summer. Maresca’s comments after Everton on it being his “worst 48 hours” at Chelsea have puzzled several at the club. Unclear if driven by a potential vacancy at his former club. Understand some of Maresca’s frustrations have been brewing for a while, although Chelsea insiders insist it was an emotional reaction to a big win.🔵
