Manchester United make big Chido Obi transfer decision
Obi's breakthrough at United
Obi has enjoyed a stunning rise at senior level since ditching Arsenal for United last summer.
He was initially made to play for the youth teams but he didn't have to wait long to make his first-team debut for United. The striker made his senior bow in February as he come on as a late substitute during a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.
Obi didn't score for United in 2024/25, although he netted twice in a post-friendly victory over Hong Kong.
He travelled with the first team to the US for their pre-season tour and he is expected to have a role in Ruben Amorim's plans for the upcoming campaign.
However, a recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Obi is attracting loan interest from INEOS-owned OGC Nice.
It was stated that the French outfit want him for an entire campaign. Now, United's stance on the situation has come to light.
United make Obi transfer decision
According to the Daily Mail's Nathan Salt, United currently have no plans to sanction a loan exit for Obi before the close of the summer transfer window.
Salt reveals, 'Question marks have been swirling in academy circles as to whether the £73.7m arrival of Benjamin Sesko extinguishes all hope of Chido Obi seeing game time this season.'
'But with Rasmus Hojlund's exit being accelerated, club insiders have told Daily Mail Sport that there are currently no plans to push Obi out on loan.'
'Limited minutes mean the door isn't totally closed if a compelling opportunity arises late in the window but the expectation as of today is that Obi remains with the first team group to continue developing in house.'
United are back in action on Sunday when they take on Arsenal in their Premier League opener.

Liverpool FC News: Underrated star SHINES as new animal unleashed
Liverpool have so many great players that it's easy for fans to underrate them. When the Reds lost on penalties to Crystal Palace in the Community Shield, that's exactly what happened with one of Arne Slot's main forwards. The abuse he got online was horrific to be honest. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! But as with most things, time is a great healer and on Friday night in Liverpool's Premier League opener against Bournemouth, all was forgiven after a moment of brilliance in the second half. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range At long last, it feels right to only give the player his due credit. Cody Gakpo is a serious player. unleashed Gakpo - A winger unleashed Liverpool had an interesting dynamic at left-wing last season, as Gakpo had to share the position with Luis Diaz, even though the Colombian occasionally played as a centre-forward as well. Nothing was how it should have been. Gakpo had times where he could shine, but in certain games, he'd be left on the bench to be brought on as a game-changer or shoehorned in as a striker. To Diaz's credit, he could play the more central role. It didn't work all the time, but the match against Leverkusen in the Champions League where he scored a hat-trick. It was an imperious performance. But now that the 28-year-old has moved to Bayern Munich, we're now in a situation where Gakpo will finally get his chance to be the main man on that left-hand side. In some people's minds, competition for places makes players better, but in my view, Gakpo deserves to trusted full-time. Of course, Rio Ngumoha is now part of the first-team and the 16-year-old will be itching to make his mark on the side, despite his age and inexperience, but Gakpo will get most of the minutes. Against Bournemouth, the Dutchman was at his best - running down the channel relentlessly, taking on players, cutting in and cutting out and winning countless duels to be a difference-maker in attack. His goal in the 49th minute was quintessentially Gakpo, dribbling in from the left into the centre at the edge of the box before getting a shot away at goal, except this time, he placed it into the corner. The fans are always going to be the players harshest critics, for better or for worse. His performance at the Community Shield wasn't great, let's not rewrite history. But no one really had their best game. Right now, Gakpo is one of three senior forwards that Arne Slot has available and we need to back him whenever he plays for us, as we should with each of the players. The 26-year-old is a real talent and he's creeping into the territory of becoming underrated. Deep down, each of us knows that he's an unbelievable talent. Hopefully he finally get a chance to play a bit more in the limelight this season.

Bournemouth FC: Antoine Semenyo kicks off his season with a brace against Liverpool
The Ghanaian forward makes a statement on opening day despite the Cherries' defeat at Anfield. Bournemouth FC: Antoine Semenyo kicks off his season with a brace against Liverpool Antoine Semenyo netted twice against Liverpool this Friday, August 15, 2025, at Anfield, on the opening day of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Despite Bournemouth's 4-2 defeat, the Ghanaian winger stood out with his blistering pace and clinical finishing. Antoine Semenyo delivered a standout performance in his first match of the 2025-26 season. The 25-year-old Ghanaian winger was the driving force behind Bournemouth's spectacular comeback attempt in a match that seemed lost after goals from Hugo Ekitike and Cody Gakpo. Liverpool, reigning champions, assert their ambitions against Bournemouth Liverpool quickly established a comfortable lead in this season opener, thanks to Hugo Ekitike, who marked his Premier League debut with a goal and an assist. The Frenchman opened the scoring in the 37th minute before setting up Cody Gakpo for the second goal in the 49th. Antoine Semenyo's response began in the 64th minute, latching onto a pinpoint cross from David Brooks. The Ghana international slotted the ball home to reduce the deficit and reignite his team's hopes. That goal energized Bournemouth, and the Cherries began to believe in a miracle. Semenyo's second goal will be remembered as one of the finest of this opening round. In the 78th minute, he won the ball deep in his own half and embarked on a dazzling solo run of over 70 meters, finishing with a low drive that left Alisson rooted to the spot. Sadly for Andoni Iraola's men, that stunning equaliser wasn't enough. Liverpool regained the lead through Federico Chiesa in the 88th minute, before Mohamed Salah sealed the result in stoppage time. Semenyo's performance continues his run of strong showings at Anfield. He now boasts the remarkable feat of having scored half of Bournemouth's Premier League goals at this legendary stadium—three out of the Cherries' six strikes.

Report – Manchester United Jump To The Head Of The Queue For PSG Goalkeeper Amid Inter Milan Interest
Manchester United have reportedly overtaken Inter Milan in the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. According to Tuttosport via FCInternews, the Red Devils have jumped to the head of the queue. Gianluigi Donnarumma could leave Paris at the end of next season. Indeed, his contract at the Parc des Princes runs out in less than 12 months. Furthermore, PSG's contract extension offer has failed to meet the 26-year-old's appetites. Manchester United Overtake Inter Milan in Race for Gianluigi Donnarumma LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 29: Gianluigi Donnarumma of Paris Saint-Germain celebrates after teammate Ousmane Dembele (not pictured) scores his team's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Semi Final First Leg match between Arsenal FC and Paris Saint-Germain at Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) Inter have identified Donnarumma as an ideal long-term replacement for Yann Sommer. The Swiss star will leave the club next summer, with the Nerazzurri already scouring the market for a new keeper. Although Donnarumma ticks all the boxes, Man Utd have reportedly moved ahead of Inter in the transfer race. Like the San Siro giants, Ruben Amorim's men are in the market for a new shot-stopper. Indeed, Andre Onana has flopped at Old Trafford, forcing the club to explore other options. On the other hand, Donnarumma has what it takes to succeed in Manchester.
