Nottingham Forest is experiencing internal turmoil as manager Nuno Espirito Santo has had a deteriorating and personal fallout with the club's global head of football, Edu, who was appointed in July. Despite rumors and speculation about his future, Nuno has publicly denied any intention to leave, calling exit rumors 'absurd' and expressing a desire to resolve differences with club owner Evangelos Marinakis ahead of upcoming talks. Meanwhile, at Manchester United, midfielder Kobbie Mainoo faces an uncertain future amid limited playing opportunities under manager Ruben Amorim. Mainoo, who is competing with captain Bruno Fernandes for midfield positions and is in the final two years of his contract, is reportedly open to leaving the club. Multiple clubs, including two Spanish giants and Real Madrid among ten interested teams, are monitoring Mainoo's situation. The club is reportedly open to selling him but not actively pushing for an exit. Communication issues between Mainoo and Amorim have been noted, with the manager's approach described as general rather than specific guidance regarding playing time. Manchester United has also reduced Mainoo's asking price ahead of the transfer deadline, reflecting the ongoing uncertainty about his role at the club.
