Harry Maguire has no plans to consider a January exit or pre-contract agreements elsewhere, despite Manchester United’s uncertainty over extending his current deal, according to TBR Football.

Maguire remains focused on making an impression under incoming manager Ruben Amorim, particularly given reports that Amorim may favour a three-at-the-back system. Maguire, known for his ball-carrying abilities, has often excelled in a three-man defence, especially with England. He sees this tactical shift as an opportunity to showcase his skills and potentially secure a contract renewal with the club.

Manchester United are reportedly preparing a renewed effort to sign Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, following two unsuccessful bids in the summer. According to talkSPORT, the Red Devils are looking to bolster their defensive lineup and view the 22-year-old as a strong addition for the future, targeting a move in 2025 after previous bids were turned down by Everton.

United’s sporting director, Dan Ashworth, reportedly sees Branthwaite as an ideal fit for the team’s evolving tactical setup under Ruben Amorim’s guidance. Branthwaite’s blend of physicality and composure on the ball is viewed as a good match for Amorim’s preferred style, which emphasizes solid defensive structure and ball-playing ability from the back. This tactical fit has kept United interested in pursuing him despite initial rejections.

Arsenal are reportedly preparing a move for Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak, as they intensify their search for a top-tier striker. According to TeamTalk, the 25-year-old Swedish international has emerged as Arsenal’s primary choice to strengthen their frontline. The Gunners view Isak as an ideal fit, particularly after his recent standout performance against them, where he netted the winning goal in Newcastle’s 1-0 victory over Arsenal.

Isak, who has been a key player for Newcastle, is reportedly interested in joining a club competing in the Champions League should he opt to leave St. James’ Park. This ambition aligns well with Arsenal’s current status in Europe’s premier competition, a factor that could influence his decision if negotiations progress.
