Manchester United have had a disastrous start to life in the Premier League under Erik Ten Hag. Their outing against Brentford away at London ended in a 4-0 win, with all the goals being scored in the first half.
In their first game, the team came up short against Brighton at home, losing 2-1. In two games, they have conceded six goals, and have scored only one in response. The numbers tell a grave story, while their display on the pitch has been nowhere close to encouraging either.
Manchester United endure nightmare start to 2022/23
David De Gea’s howler opened the scoring for Thomas Frank’s side. Shortly after, United’s attempt to play out of the back was cut short by some excellent pressing from Brentford’s attackers. Mathias Jensen got on the scoresheet after the ball was stolen from Christian Eriksen in his own penalty area.
Ben Mee nodded in the third goal from a cut back corner, while a perfect counter attack goal finished off by Bryan Mbuemo made it four in the 35th minute.
Manchester United showed very little determination and urgency, unlike Brentford. The Bees were a driven force on the pitch, and were able to capitalise on the mistakes, of which there were a lot of.
Erik Ten Hag has a long road ahead of him to get the team performing. His next big test lies against Liverpool at Old Trafford, a fixture that fans will not be very optimistic about given the situation.
Tanguy Ndombele is set to leave Tottenham for Napoli in the coming days. The midfielder will join the Serie A club on a loan deal with the option to buy. There were several other clubs interested in signing the player, including Villarreal, but the Azzurri have won the race to recruit the player and end his spell at London.
In 2019, Ndombele became the most expensive signing in the history of the Lilywhites. He was signed for £65 million from Lyon, but has been unable to live up to expectations during his time at the club.
Tanguy Ndombele to join Napoli
Napoli and Tottenham have reached an agreement for Tanguy Ndombele on loan with buy option. The clubs are prepared to close the deal. 🚨🔵 #Napoli
The Frenchman spent the latter half of last season on loan at his former club, Lyon. But, he is now set to take on a new challenge in Italy once he completes the switch. The two clubs are prepared to finalise the deal in the coming days, with the official announcement expected to follow once the formalities have been completed.
Jose Mourinho and Nuno Espirito Santo were willing to include the player in their line-up. However, Antonio Conte has simply frozen him out altogether. He was booed off the pitch by the fans during Tottenham’s game against Morecambe in the FA Cup last season. And he hasn’t been called upon since then.
Alongside Tanguy Ndombele, Giovanni Lo Celso is also on his way out of Spurs. The Argentine will be returning to Villarreal on loan. Harry Winks and Sergio Reguilón are also expected to exit the club before the end of the transfer window.
Amidst speculation about the fate of Barcelona’s new signings, the uncertainty has now been put to rest. The Spanish side have been able to register four out of their five new acquisitions this summer, with Jules Kounde being the only one to not be registered in time.
The Catalonians activated their fourth financial lever in order to register their new players. As part of the lever, 25% of Barca Studios were sold to raise money and make the new players eligible to play in La Liga.
Barcelona finalising squad ahead of new season
✅ Raphinha ✅ Robert Lewandowski ✅ Franck Kessié ✅ Andreas Christensen ❌ Jules Koundé
Barcelona have registered these players the Spanish side have failed to register Jules Kounde.
Samuel Umtiti and Martin Braithwaite have not been given a shirt number ahead of the new season. The two players are not expected to play a part in Xavi’s plans, and are expected to leave. But, no deal is in place for their departure as of yet.
Frenkie De Jong could yet leave the club this summer, which would free up a significant amount on the wage bill. The Dutchman is refusing to take a pay cut to stay at Barcelona. As a result, registering Kounde has proved very difficult with his wages over €400,000 per week proving to be difficult to accomodate.
The departure of the midfielder could facilitate his registration sooner than later. But, either one of Manchester United or Chelsea will need to agree terms with the club and the player for the transfer.
While Nottingham Forest are playing their first Premier League season in the 21st century, Forest are ready for their 13th signing this summer as striker Emmanuel Dennis.
Nottingham Forest are very busy in this summer transfer window. While eight first-team players have left the club and six first-team players have been loaned out, the club has already signed 12 players along with one loaned in goalkeeper Dean Henderson (from Manchester United).

Nottingham Forest’s another potential signing: Emmanuel Dennis
Now, the Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis is reportedly ready to sign for Forest. The newly promoted PL club has reportedly agreed £20 million deal with Watford to sign the 24-year-old Nigerian striker.
Fabrizio Romano’s recent report claimed that Dennis just completed the medical tests with Forest.
Emmanuel Dennis has completed the medical tests with Nottingham Forest few minutes ago. He’s gonna sign a four year deal with NFFC. 🚨🌳 #NFFC
While 2021/22 was the first PL season for Dennis, he impressed Watford. Though his club was ultimately relegated to the Championship, Dennis was their leading goal-scorer with 10 goals.

If Dennis joins the Forest, he will be the second newly forward signing for the club. Earlier this summer, the club added another 25-year-old Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi. Apart from much experienced Joe Lolley and Lyle Taylor, the latest academy graduates Alex Mighten and Brennan Johnson are also on the forward list of the Forest.
The Premier League club is also ready to sign another Swiss midfielder Remo Freuler.
Wales football manager Steve Cooper is desperate to maintain their Premier League spot for the next season. The FIFA U17 World Cup 2017 winning coach knows well that it will be a very tough job for them to stay in the next PL season.

In the ongoing summer transfer window, Cooper has tried to fill many gaps in different positions. Now, it is time to prove his team with their performances.
In their opening game of the PL 2022/23 season, Cooper’s Forest started with a 2-0 away defeat against Newcastle United. They are now ready for their first PL home game in the 21st century, where they will welcome West Ham United this Sunday (August 14).
The CEO of Telegram, Pavel Durov, criticized Apple‘s app approval and update procedure earlier this week in a post on his Telegram channel. The most recent upgrade to the app, according to Durov, was delayed by Apple without any justification.
Apple Delayed Telegram’s Update
Pavel Durov gave the example of how their future update, which will revolutionize how people express themselves via messaging, has been sitting in Apple’s “review” queue for two weeks with no explanation or input from the company.

As per the sources, it states that Durov recently explained why Apple delayed the upgrade for two weeks. Apple responded to them with a request to remove Telemoji, better resolution vector-animated variants of the normal emoji, from our upcoming Telegram upgrade.
He also found Apple’s decision perplexing because Telemoji would have greatly improved their ecosystem and added a whole new dimension to their static, low-resolution emoji.

Damage to the Tech Industry
Currently, Apple has authorized the most recent Telegram upgrade. However, the animated emoji set is not present in the most recent version. Due to Durov’s failure to explain, it is unclear why Telegram discontinued the emoji pack. Apple hasn’t yet added any comments to the conversation.
Telegram's update has been stuck in Apple's "review" for two weeks, without any word from the App Store.
If Telegram, one of the top 10 most popular apps globally, gets this treatment from Apple, imagine the difficulties faced by smaller app developers.https://t.co/c0l6OHUbwy
Furthermore, according to Durov, Telegram will be driven to make Telemoji more distinctive and recognizable. The in-question emojis are exclusive to premium Telegram subscribers. With the most recent upgrade, Telegram has released a ton of new features for its users.

In a previous post, Durov criticized Apple. He claimed that one can only imagine the challenges faced by smaller app creators if Telegram, one of the top 10 most downloaded apps worldwide, is subjected to a similar approach.
Telegram is among the top 5 most downloaded apps in the world. Of these top 5 apps, Telegram is the only one that doesn't spend billions on marketing to buy downloads. In a way, we are the only app that is on the list purely because it is genuinely loved by the people 💙
Not only is it discouraging, but it also directly costs hundreds of thousands of mobile apps throughout the world money. He added that Apple’s economic harm to the technology sector cannot be restored.
