Lisandro Martinez wants to leave Manchester United

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez wants to leave the club before his contract expires in the summer, according to The Sun. The report also says Atletico Madrid are interested in the player. The Mirror, meanwhile, wrote that Manchester United players were booed on the train to London before the Chelsea match.

Chelsea goalkeeper Emi Martinez reportedly refused surgery on a broken finger so that he would not miss the World Cup, and it has been announced that his hand has been permanently deformed. Young talent Estevao Willian is said to be surprised at how little playing time he gets under Xabi Alonso, and to have told his teammates that the club is in a "crisis". There are concerns that defender Maxence Lacroix could be out of action until January because of a hamstring injury.

At Everton, there is reported unrest over Jack Grealish's return to the squad, according to The Times. The player was left out of the squad for leaving without permission before the Carabao Cup match against Newcastle. Daily Record, meanwhile, wrote that former Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin is among the candidates for the vacant manager's job at Sheffield Wednesday.

Elsewhere, former Celtic transfer chief Mark Lawwell has reportedly taken up a new role at Chelsea. It was also reported that NAC Breda launched an internal investigation over the transfer of Sydney, son of former Celtic striker Pierre van Hooijdonk, to Portuguese club Estrela Amadora in January, but the club cleared Van Hooijdonk and closed the investigation.
