The Manchester derby showed how far both City and United have to go, while complacency was a theme for both Real Madrid and Liverpool in defeats to Valencia and Fulham, as Gab Marcotti recaps the weekend. Liam Delap is in demand and Man United have him at the top of their transfer short list. Here's why. Manchester United have identifed Ipswich Town's Liam Delap ahead of Viktor Gyökeres, Benjamin Sesko and Victor Osimhen, sources have told ESPN. Leicester City have become the first Premier League team to lose eight Premier League games in a row without scoring a single goal. Pep Guardiola wants Matheus Nunes to develop into a right-back for Manchester City, saying that he is "not clever enough" to play in midfield. Newcastle United's Jacob Murphy scored twice in the opening 11 minutes as his side beat a dismal Leicester City 3-0 away to move fifth in the Premier League on Monday. Southampton have sacked manager Ivan Jurić after the club's relegation from the Premier League, the club confirmed on Monday. Thibaut Courtois admitted on Monday that Real Madrid have been working on coping with Champions League opponents Arsenal's set piece threat, but said it's "a matter of time" before Mikel Arteta's team win a trophy. Bukayo Saka has hinted his long-term future lies at Arsenal and also revealed his "dream" to one day win the Ballon d'Or. Neymar and Memphis Depay are among the stars to criticise Brazil's Football Confederation's new rule to punish players that stand on the ball with both feet.
