Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport Teased as Winged GT3 RS Competitor
The Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport is a new version of the German coupe the brand just teased for the first time. According to Mercedes, it will be powered by a V-8 and is being developed to set new record drives, presumably with the Nürburgring at the top of that list. Officially, the GT Track Sport is labeled a concept, but production is likely, as the brand says it offers a "glimpse into the future of the AMG GT family." To give you an idea of where the Mercedes-AMG GT Coupe falls on the sliding scale between surgical and brutish in its demeanor, take a look at our most recent review, where we compared the 2025 GT63 S E Performance to a hippopotamus. Thankfully, despite the GT Coupe's brash nature, Mercedes-AMG hasn't given up on it and instead developed a new track-focused model aptly named the Mercedes-AMG GT Track Sport. Mercedes-AMG According to Mercedes, the new GT Track Sport is being developed "to set record new times," which we can only assume means the automaker is planning a Nürburgring attempt in the near future. No performance details are given, but with Mercedes seemingly targeting competitors like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, upgrades are sure to be plentiful. Given the on-track performance focus of the new concept, it's likely the GT Coupe ditches the 2+2 layout in favor of a strictly two-seat design. And while the entire car is shrouded behind a camouflaged curtain, the large front splitter and aggressive swan-neck rear wing stick out as performance upgrades. Mercedes-AMG There's no word on output yet, but we do know the GT Track Sport sticks to a V-8 mill under the hood. Between the GT55 and the GT63 trims, the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 setup in the current AMG GT lineup produces between 469 and 603 horsepower. Add in the hybrid batteries of the GT63 S E Performance, and the combined output surges to 805. Mercedes-AMG Mercedes-AMG Mercedes hasn't confirmed that the GT Track Sport is actually headed for production. The model is officially labeled as a concept, but given that Mercedes says the teaser offers a "glimpse into the future of the AMG GT family," we fully expect it to enter production. Here's hoping that, despite the car's name, the Mercedes-AMG team kept its cool long enough to fill out the requisite paperwork to make the GT Track Sport road legal.

Michael Carrick tells Amorim exactly how to get the best out of Kobbie Mainoo
Manchester United legend Michael Carrick has informed Ruben Amorim of two things he must do to get a tune out of Kobbie Mainoo. Mainoo still finding his feet under Amorim Mainoo has enjoyed a rapid rise at United since he made his first-team debut in January 2023, as a substitute in a Carabao Cup meeting with Charlton Athletic. He followed that up with a breakthrough 2023/24 campaign, in which he cemented his place as a regular starter in Erik ten Hag's team. That term, Mainoo made 35 appearances across all competitions. He earned himself a place in England's Euro 2024 squad and impressed as the Three Lions reached the final of the tournament. But, Mainoo has been unable to build it and endured a frustrating 2024/25. A combination of injuries and poor form when available saw him struggle to nail down a regular starting berth under Amorim. Amorim has experimented with Mainoo in the pivot, number 10 and even the false nine position of his 3-4-2-1 system, but he has yet to settle on a defined role. Carrick tells Amorim to build the team around Mainoo Carrick made an appearance on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast and said about the situation, 'I think for a club to have a player that has come through the academy, knows the club and feels it — that's massive.' 'To have a talent like that, as he's already shown, you've got to say: 'Right, he gets it, he knows it — let's help him, build on him, and stick with him.' I think there's definitely a place for him.' Mainoo wasn't the only midfielder Carrick spoke about. He also shared his opinion on United skipper Bruno Fernandes, who came close to leaving and joining Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal earlier this summer. Carrick of course knows Fernandes very well from his time as part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's coaching staff. Carrick also had a stint as caretaker boss and worked with the Portugal international. Carrick on Fernandes Carrick told Rio Ferdinand, 'Yeah, I like Bruno. I work with him, with Ole [Gunnar Solskjar] and he's fantastic. He's got a real, he's desperate to do well. He's so keen to do well, and that's a really positive thing.' 'And then sometimes, you can overdo it sometimes as well, and it's such a fine balance. But his attitude, he plays every game, he never misses training, and he's there all the time.' 'Puts himself out there, puts himself forward, and he's been the main man, really, the talisman for some time. And when there's moments or there's something that's needed, Bruno's been the one to step up. I really enjoyed working with him when I did. He asks questions, he's demanding, but he wants to do the right thing.' Asked how he relayed instructions to Fernandes, Carrick answered, 'He took it pretty quickly. He got it, he understood what it was. It's amazing you get a feel for that with certain players. You would have had it when we were playing, some players come and grasp it and get it.' 'I understand the whole thing, because I think there's a responsibility in United that it's not just that little bit of football on the pitch. There's a whole other world out there, isn't there? There's a responsibility, really, I think, in terms of behaviour and how you act and how you do things. And that was certainly from when I came through the door, that was almost thrown upon you.' 'You had no choice, but you made a deal with it. You don't, and if you don't, then see you later. And Bruno's the type that he embraced all that straight away.' On whether Fernandes would have fit into Sir Alex Ferguson's legendary teams, Carrick responded affirmatively, indicating that the creative genius's ability and attitude would have helped him slot in.

Fabrizio Romano Confirms Liverpool's Interest in £43.6m Forward
Liverpool Circle Malick Fofana as Diaz Edges Towards Bayern Move Liverpool's recruitment drive this summer has been nothing short of breathtaking. Following the British-record signing of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike's arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt, attention now shifts to potential outgoings — and who might come in their place. According to the ever-reliable Fabrizio Romano, Malick Fofana is now firmly on Liverpool's radar as the club braces for Luis Diaz's possible departure. Romano stated, 'He's also appreciated by Liverpool, but not the only option in the winger position. There are several clubs interested in Malick Fofana, and Liverpool are considering several options.' This report comes at a time when Diaz is being strongly linked with a move to Bayern Munich. If the German champions meet Liverpool's valuation, it appears likely the Colombian will depart. That would leave a considerable hole on the left flank, but Liverpool appear to have a plan in place. Long-Term Planning and Smart Business At 20 years old, Malick Fofana is one of the brightest attacking prospects in Europe. Currently with Lyon, the Belgian winger has reportedly been valued between €50m and €60m, a figure well within reach if Diaz's sale goes through. As Romano confirmed earlier this week, 'Don't forget Malick Fofana, who is a player appreciated at Bayern Munich — in case they can't sign Luis Díaz.' With Diaz eight years Fofana's senior and on a much higher wage, the swap makes strategic sense. Bringing in a younger player on a lower salary structure who still possesses immense potential fits Liverpool's model under Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes. Adding to this, Liverpool have already spent over £250m this window, securing talents across all departments, including Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili. But the focus now seems to be on efficient spending to balance the books, and potentially make a net gain with smart talent acquisition. Fofana Could Be Ideal Fit Under Slot's Philosophy Arne Slot, who guided Liverpool to the Premier League title in his debut season, has clearly impressed the club hierarchy with his tactical vision. That vision appears to include dynamic, press-resistant wide players, capable of contributing both offensively and defensively. Fofana's profile matches that remit. A fleet-footed winger with quick decision-making, technical sharpness, and a strong work ethic, he looks well-suited to Liverpool's high-intensity system. Learning from seasoned professionals like Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo would accelerate his development. Liverpool fans have seen what smart youth recruitment can do in recent years, and Fofana could well be the next gem to flourish at Anfield. Business Sense and Sporting Strategy Aligned This isn't just about swapping one winger for another. It's about financial strategy, long-term vision, and squad evolution. Selling Diaz for a premium and reinvesting in a younger, potentially more valuable asset is precisely the type of thinking that has re-established Liverpool as one of Europe's elite clubs. As Romano reports, Liverpool are 'considering several options' for the winger position, but Fofana seems to be gaining traction. Should this move come off, it would cap an extraordinary summer and give the Reds an injection of youth and promise heading into the 2025/26 campaign. Photo: IMAGO Our View – Anfield Index Analysis There's a lot to be excited about here, but also plenty to question. On paper, replacing Diaz with a younger and potentially cheaper Malick Fofana makes sense. But the Colombian has been one of our most effective players on his day — is Fofana ready to make that kind of impact in the Premier League? From a fan's perspective, it feels like Liverpool are gambling slightly. Diaz may be inconsistent at times, but he's proven. Fofana is still a project. Can he handle the pressure of Anfield, the pace of the Premier League, and deliver instantly if called upon? That said, Arne Slot deserves trust. He's already delivered a league title and shown he's capable of integrating young players into his system. Fofana wouldn't need to start every game right away. With Salah still here and Gakpo and Jota (assuming he stays) in the mix, he would have time to adjust. There's also the financial reality. If we can sell Diaz for €80m and buy Fofana for €50m, that's very smart business. It gives us flexibility for a centre-back or even another forward, perhaps Alexander Isak if Nunez departs. In short, the direction is promising — but Fofana, if signed, will have to hit the ground running quicker than most young talents. Anfield demands excellence, and supporters will want to see proof he's more than just potential.
