Spurs have unearthed their new Vertonghen & it's not Van de Ven

Tottenham Hotspur moved up to third in the Premier League table on Sunday night when they travelled to the Hill Dickinson stadium to beat Everton 3-0.

The Lilywhites were not in total control, as they needed Guglielmo Vicario to make two incredibly impressive stops, but they did end the night with a comfortable scoreline.

Micky van de Ven’s first-half performance provided Spurs with a platform to go on and win the match, as he scored two goals to take his tally for the season to five.

Why Micky van de Ven has drawn comparisons to Jan Vertonghen

It feels inevitable that a left-footed centre-back will be compared to Jan Vertonghen at Spurs, particularly when the Belgian star scored five goals from centre-back in his first Premier League season in North London in the 2012/13 campaign, per Sofascore.

Vertonghen scored 14 goals in 314 appearances for Tottenham, per Transfermarkt, so it is easy to understand why some supporters have made the comparison, particularly when van de Ven once revealed that he “learned from” the Belgium international when watching him as a kid.

It was the former Spurs titan’s defensive work that made him a standout star, though, as he earned a place in the PFA Team of the Year on two occasions, without scoring a single league goal in the second inclusion.

That is why Tottenham supporters should be looking to another player to compare to Vertonghen, as Kevin Danso’s defensive efforts against Everton were more Vertonghen-esque than van de Ven’s.

Spurs have unearthed their new Jan Vertonghen

Van de Ven may have scored two goals and impressed at the top end of the pitch, but it was Danso who was the shining light defensively for Thomas Frank against the Toffees.

The Austria international, as shown in the post above, made the most clearances in a game for the club since Vertonghen made 21 just shy of nine years ago.

It was an incredibly impressive outing from the former Southampton man against Everton, as he was consistently in the right place at the right time to make vital defensive interventions to prevent Vicario from being worked even more than he was.

Stats via Sofascore

As you can see in the table above, Danso offered far more to the team defensively than van de Ven did, with 11 more clearances, two more blocks, and a higher success rate in his duels on the ground and in the air.

These statistics show that the 27-year-old colossus, who was described as “quick” and “aggressive” by Jamie Redknapp, was the defensive cornerstone for the Lilywhites, and carried the Dutchman to a degree.

The £20m signing from Lens may not be a left-footed centre-back, or a huge goal threat, but he has shown that he has the impressive defensive instincts and qualities to be a Vertonghen-esque figure at the back for Frank.

If he can continue to put in performances like the one he showed against Everton, Cristian Romero may have a job on his hands to find a way of getting back into the starting line-up, as Danso currently looks undroppable.

Worse than Simons: Frank must drop 2/10 Spurs flop who lost 88% duels

Thomas Frank must drop this Tottenham Hotspur flop who was even worse than Xavi Simons.

ByDan Emery Oct 26, 2025

Frank appears to have unearthed his own Vertonghen in the defensive monster, who has won 100% of his ground duels in the Premier League this season, and long may it continue as Spurs look to climb up the table.

Gabriel Pirani 'lamenta' falta de oportunidades no Santos, mas celebra fase de Marcelo Fernandes no clube

MatériaMais Notícias

O meio-campista Gabriel Pirani, que está no D.C. United, dos Estados Unidos, não escondeu a insatisfação com a perda de espaço no Santos antes da sua saída do clube. Além disso, pontuou a admiração pelo sucesso conquistado por Marcelo Fernandes.

Em entrevista exclusiva ao Lance!, o Menino da Vila fez um balanço sobre a falta de oportunidades na equipe do litoral paulista, que se deram principalmente após a saída de Fernando Diniz, e os fatores que podem ter contribuído para isso.

+ Garanta a sua vaga no curso que formou craques como Pet, Dante e Léo Moura! Cupom: LANCE1000

– Eu não entendo (o motivo da falta de oportunidades), eu tive pouquíssimos jogos. Com o Carille eu ainda jogo, apesar de ter uma lesão nada séria, mas que me incomodava bastante. Eu jogava bastante até o final de 2021 e vinha dando resultado, eu contribuí para o time. Todos ali sabiam que a gente estava passando por um momento de reconstrução e dificuldades, e ainda está passando – disse o jovem atleta.

– Pela grandeza do Santos, jogar a responsabilidade em um menino também é uma coisa errada. Tiveram contratações no meu setor também e eu acabei sendo menos utilizado, mas quem conhece meu dia a dia sabe que eu estava louco por uma oportunidade. Se não estiver jogando, quero estar em algum lugar onde me dêem oportunidades. Não teve nada muito pontual, na minha visão foi porque chegaram contratações – continuou Gabriel Pirani.

O SANTOS CAI?

O jogador não escondeu o carinho pelo Peixe e demonstrou confiança na manutenção do Peixe na Série A do Brasileirão. Além disso, não escondeu o apreço por Marcelo Fernandes, atual treinador do clube.

– Sem dúvidas não cai. Primeiro pela grandeza do Santos, tudo conspira a favor. Tem pessoas ali que eu tenho muito carinho, como o Marcelo Fernandes que participou muito do início da minha carreira e eu sempre torço por ele. O carinho que eu tenho pelo Santos vai ser eterno na minha vida independente do que acontecer, ele mudou minha vida, sem o Santos não teria minha família por perto ou não conheceria a minha esposa. Enfim, tenho certeza que não vai cair não – opinou o Menino da Vila.

TITULAR PRECOCE

Convocado pela Seleção Brasileira para participar dos Jogos Pan-Americanos no Chile, Pirani afirmou não ter arrependimentos na carreira e acredita que a exposição na equipe principal aconteceu no momento exato.

– Eu acho que na minha vida eu não tenho muitos arrependimentos. Acho que aconteceu no momento certo minha subida no Santos. Passei por todas categorias, fiquei muito pouco no Sub-20 e Sub-23. Acho que (minha promoção ao profissional) aconteceu quando tinha que acontecer e para mim está perfeito. Meu começo foi muito bom, mesmo passando por um ano difícil, e depois eu não tive tantas oportunidades para demonstrar o que eu poderia. Não tenho nenhum arrependimento e não posso falar que faria algo diferente – finalizou Gabriel.

Tahir, Hope and Hetmyer combine to make it two in two for Amazon Warriors

Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer put on a 106-run partnership to take Amazon Warriors to a big total before Imran Tahir picked up his first five-wicket haul in the CPL

Captain Imran Tahir turned back the clock with a sensational five-wicket haul as Guyana Amazon Warriors stormed to their second consecutive win in CPL 2025, dismantling Antigua and Barbuda Falcons by 83 runs in a rain-hit match in North Sound.Chasing a steep target of 212 for their third win, Falcons were not allowed to settle at any point after a flying start, thanks largely to Tahir’s spell of 5 for 21. Falcons raced to 58 runs in the first four overs but lost both openers – Rahkeem Cornwall and Jewel Andrew – in the process, both to Dwaine Pretorius.Related

Tahir: 'You always learn about the game every single day'

Karima Gore’s 31 off 14 balls kept the good work going, but once he was dismissed by Romario Shepherd in the fifth over, the run rate dipped sharply.Tahir, 46, made an immediate impact with a double-wicket maiden in his first over – the seventh of the chase – removing Shakib Al Hasan and captain Imad Wasim. His trademark googlies and flighted deliveries triggered a middle-order collapse as Falcons slipped from 77 for 3 to 116 for 8, losing five wickets for just 39 runs. Eventually, they folded for 128 in 15.2 overs. These were also Tahir’s best figures in the CPL.Earlier in the evening, Warriors had made a strong start before rain halted play for nearly an hour after 5.5 overs.Shai Hope top-scored with a clinical 82 in 54 balls at the top of the order. Having managed just 33 off his first 32 balls, Hope accelerated after the 11th over, smashing 49 off the next 22.ESPNcricinfo Ltd

He got big support from Shimron Hetmyer, who blazed 65 off just 26 balls, including five sixes and five fours, as the pair had a commanding 106-run partnership off just 44 balls for the third wicket.Even after Hope’s dismissal, the Amazon Warriors’ innings didn’t lose momentum, with a late flourish from Shepherd – an unbeaten 25 off just eight balls – pushing the total to an imposing 211 for 3.The last nine overs of the innings had Warriors accumulating 145 runs, 41 of which came from the last two, which proved more than enough in the end.The result took Amazon Warriors, with two wins in two games, to the second spot on the table, which is topped by Falcons, whose two wins have come from five outings.

ExWHUemployee says Nuno has "decided to act" following another West Ham injury blow

West Ham insider ExWHUemployee has shared some “unfortunate news” out of the club with Nuno Espírito Santo dealt another injury blow.

The Hammers had a rare afternoon of celebration last weekend as Nuno oversaw his first win since taking charge.

West Ham put top four-chasing Newcastle to the sword in a 3-1 victory which was also their first Premier League win at the London Stadium in 248 days.

Goals from Lucas Paqueta, Sven Botman (OG) and Tomas Soucek cancelled out Jacob Murphy’s stunning early opener to gift the east Londoners an absolutely vital three points, with Nuno explaining his plan to make the London Stadium a fortress when asked about the fan protests after full-time.

Nuno tinkered with his team once again at home to Newcastle, but unlike his questionable selections against the likes of Brentford and Leeds, his decisions paid dividends.

Jean-Clair Todibo put in what was one of his better West Ham performances in the left centre-back role, with highly-rated youngster Freddie Potts impressing after finally being given the chance by Nuno.

Despite reports suggesting that Nuno doesn’t fancy Callum Wilson up front for West Ham, the Portuguese elected to start him against Eddie Howe’s side and drop Paqueta back to his preferred midfield role.

The striker conundrum is one of West Ham’s major dilemmas, but ExWHUemployee says Nuno could welcome back Fullkrug pretty soon.

Sharing an injury update, the insider claims that he is on track to return ahead of schedule, as is Konstantinos Mavropanos.

However, he also has some bad news.

West Ham dealt Lukasz Fabianski blow as Nuno takes action

Writing via his Patreon, Ex explains that Lukasz Fabianski has now suffered a back injury which required him to be carried off in training at Rush Green.

As a result, Nuno made the personal decision to recall young keeper Finn Herrick from his loan at Boreham Wood.

The Pole, who was released by West Ham only to be brought back in the summer, played 90 minutes for the club’s Under-21s against MK Dons in the EFL Trophy back in September.

The 40-year-old has made 216 first-team appearances for West Ham and was a more-than capable back up to the likes of Areola and Hermansen, but following this injury, it is unclear what the future holds for Fabianski with his contract up at the end of 25/26.

Com profecia de Diniz, John Kennedy decide, Fluminense vence o Boca e conquista a Libertadores pela primeira vez

MatériaMais Notícias

Quem espera sempre alcança. O torcedor do Fluminense sabe disso. Foram 121 anos aguardando a glória eterna. E ela chegou neste dia 4 de novembro de 2023, que passa a ser a maior das datas para a nação tricolor. Venceu o Flu com o verde esperança. Com requintes de sofrimento, na prorrogação. Com Cano fazendo o L, com John Kennedy decidindo, com profecia de Diniz, a equipe das Laranjeiras bateu o Boca Juniors, da Argentina, por 2 a 1, e se sagrou campeão da Libertadores pela primeira vez na história. E o palco não poderia ser outro: o Maracanã. 

O primeiro gol do jogo foi da equipe carioca. Artilheiro da Liberta, Cano marcou o 13º gol dele nesta edição da competição continental e, de quebra, se definiu de forma isolada como o atleta com mais gols pelo Flu na história do torneio. No segundo tempo, o lateral Advíncula empatou para o Boca. O jogo foi para prorrogação, onde o garoto John Kennedy decidiu. Ele saiu do banco de reservas, entrou no segundo tempo e, pouco antes, escutou do técnico Fernando Diniz que seria ele o autor do gol do título. O que aconteceu.

CINCO LANCES QUE MARCARAM A PARTIDA

> RIVALIDADE NOS PALCOS: durante a cerimônia de abertura da final, dois palcos foram montados no gramado do Maracanã. Em um deles, o cantor de pagode Ferrugem, que é torcedor declarado do Tricolor, puxou algumas músicas do clube carioca, enquanto o grupo de cumbia Yerba Brava embalou a torcida do Boca Juniors. A disputa começou antes mesmo do apito inicial.

> O CHORO DO PIT: conhecido pelo jeito durão, o zagueiro/volante Felipe Melo não conteve as lágrimas durante a execução do hino nacional brasileiro. Ruf ruf só com a bola rolando.

> L DECIDE! Fazendo o L de Lorenzo e Leonella, o gol marcado aos 36 minutos também foi para Germán Cano fazer o L de Libertadores. Artilheiro da competição, o centroavante consolidou de vez o seu espaço de importância na história do Fluminense.

> DEIXARAM CHEGAR: o Fluminense recuou bastante no segundo tempo. Resultado disso? Gol do Boca. Advíncula, em uma jogada manjada, recebeu pela direita, abriu para o meio, ninguém apertou e o lateral peruano acertou um belo chute no canto direito do goleiro Fábio. Minutos antes, o mesmo jogador havia tentado algo parecido, mas acertou a rede pelo lado de fora, em uma finalização no canto esquerdo.

>A PROFECIA DO PROFESSOR DINIZ! Decisivo durante todo mata-mata da Libertadores, John Kennedy foi o autor do gol título do Fluminense. O atacante entrou no segundo tempo e diante de uma profecia do técnico Fernando Diniz que, antes de colocar o jogador em campo, falou que o atleta faria o gol que levaria o Tricolor à Glória Eterna. E o lance para a eternidade aconteceu aos 8 minutos do primeiro tempo extra, quando Diogo Barbosa lançou, Keno ajeitou de cabeça e o Presidente acertou um chute de extrema felicidade na entrada da área. Gol que também rendeu a expulsão do camisa 9, que já tinha cartão amarelo e recebeu o segundo ao comemorar na escadinha de acesso à torcida no Maracanã.

COMO FOI O PRIMEIRO TEMPO?

O primeiro tempo teve o Fluminense saindo na frente com muitos méritos. Ainda que não tenha criado grandes chances de gol, a equipe carioca foi quem ditou o ritmo na etapa inicial. O único momento de perigo do Boca Juniors foi em uma finalização de Merentiel de fora da área que ficou amortecida na defesa do goleiro Fábio, do Tricolor. E o ápice aconteceu aos 36 minutos, quando Keno caiu pelo lado direito, cruzou por baixo e o centroavante Germán Cano bateu de primeira no canto direito de Sérgio Romero. Artilheiro da Libertadores, o argentino ‘fez o L’ para os filhos Lorenzo e Leonella, mas também de Libertadores. A Glória Eterna que seria alcançada pela primeira fez pelo Flu minutos depois.

A arbitragem também foi personagem na etapa inicial. Pouco antes do placar ser aberto, o zagueiro Valentini deu uma cabeçada no meia Paulo Henrique Ganso, mas o árbitro colombiano Wilmar Roldán não amarelou o defensor argentino.

E A ETAPA FINAL?

Precisando do resultado, o Boca Juniors voltou para o segundo tempo buscando mais o jogo. E um dos seus trunfos era nas investidas do lateral-direito Luís Advíncula. E deu certo. Na primeira oportunidade criada pelo jogador, a finalização de fora da área, buscando o canto esquerdo, pegou na rede pelo lado de fora. Depois, não teve jeito. E o empate dos xeneizes saiu. Advíncula recebeu pelo setor destro, abriu para o meio, ninguém da parte defensiva do Flu apertou e o peruano encheu o pé no canto esquerdo do goleiro Fábio, que nada pôde fazer. Após o Boca empatar, o jogo voltou a ficar equilibrado, com as duas equipes tendo duas grandes chances de vencerem no tempo normal, já no fim do duelo. No lado do Boca Juniors, o atacante Merentiel encheu o pé de fora da área e levou muito perigo. Mas a grande chance ocorreu no último segundo de jogo, quando o lateral Diogo Barbosa apareceu na cara do gol, sozinho, mas bateu cruzado para fora. Keno entrava livre no meio da pequena área, mas também não alcançou.

A PRORROGAÇÃO

Foram 30 minutos de prorrogação que pareceram quase uma partida inteira. Primeiro com o gol de John Kennedy, aos oito minutos do tempo extra. O atacante, que marcou em todas as fases do mata-mata da Libertadores, entrou durante o segundo tempo com o técnico Fernando Diniz garantindo que seria ele quem faria o gol do título. Fez. Em uma jogada que iniciou com Diogo Barbosa, que havia perdido um gol inacreditável no tempo regulamentar. O lateral lançou Keno, que se sagrou o garçom do jogo e deu a sua segunda assistência, ajeitando de cabeça para o Presidente encher o pé no canto esquerdo de Romero, em um chute de primeira. O camisa 9, no entanto, foi expulso por comemorar o gol com a torcida na escadinha do Maracanã. Ele já tinha um cartão amarelo.

Atrás do placar, o Boca teve que se expor e foi para cima. E no fim da etapa inicial da prorrogação os argentinos pediram pênaltis por um suposto toque com a mão na bola dentro da área. O jogador, no entanto, tenha sofrido um toque antes e caiu de forma natural. Durante a consulta do árbitro Wilmar Roldán com os responsáveis pela arbitragem de vídeo, Fabra agrediu Nino e foi expulso. O lance contou com a ajuda do VAR, já que o vermelho foi dado após revisão de Roldán ao monitor. Inicialmente, o colombiano tinha advertido o jogador do Boca com cartão amarelo.

No segundo tempo da prorrogação, o Fluminense teve a chance de matar o jogo. Guga apareceu na cara do gol, mas a finalização bateu caprichosamente na trave. Tinha que ser com requintes de crueldade.

Hossan century underpins powerful Bangladesh win in first Youth ODI

Minto stars for England with five-for, but Ratan takes 4 for 9 to seal comfortable victory

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay05-Sep-2025

James Minto claimed five wickets for England Under-19•Getty Images

Bangladesh U19 292 (Hossan 100, Minto 5-68) beat England U19 205 (Mohammed 75, Ratul 4-9) by 87 runsRizan Hossan’s authoritative century off 101 balls outdid a five-wicket haul from Durham’s James Minto and a sparkling 75 from Isaac Mohammed as Bangladesh Men U19s beat England Men U19s by 87 runs in the first Youth One-Day International at Loughborough.Despite a confident start, a target of 293 proved too much for the hosts, as England dramatically collapsed from 132 for two to 205 all out. Bangladesh’s spinners combined to take eight wickets. Samiun Basir Ratul stood out with outstanding figures of 4.2-0-9-4.Bangladesh openers Zawad Abrar and Rifat Beg made a brisk start, reaching 31 for none after five overs. Abrar’s brace of sixes over fine leg during an expensive opening spell by Minto typified their approach. Progress was halted when Leicestershire’s Alex Green claimed Beg’s wicket with his first ball, which grazed the leg stump and ended the 44-run opening stand.Bangladesh captain Azizul Hakim Tamim, who was dropped on four, was next to depart, caught by Kent’s Ben Dawkins off Yorkshire new-ball bowler, Matthew Firbank, for 11. England struck again when Abrar gloved Minto down the legside, at 69 for three in the 13th over the Young Lions appeared to gain a foothold in the game.However, a fourth-wicket partnership worth 148 between Kalam Aleen and Hossan allowed the visitors to regain the initiative.Initially Hossan was the main aggressor, he got to his fifty off 58 balls with a stylish boundary over midwicket. Aleen’s half-century, characterised by strong sweep shots, soon followed off 68 balls, as both batters manipulated the field effectively.The partnership was broken by Minto in the 39th over, who took two wickets in consecutive balls, leaving the score on 217 for five. Firstly, Aleen played across the line and was trapped LBW and then Mohammad Abdullah was the victim of another legside strangle, with captain Thomas Rew completing a regulation catch.England’s impressive death bowling meant that only 66 runs were added in the final 9.2 overs of the innings. The late flurry of wickets included Hossan, dismissed by Nottinghamshire’s Hatton-Lowe, one ball after getting to a deserved century. In the final over, Minto mopped up the innings, bagging two tailend wickets in two balls, the left-armer finishing with five for 68.England’s chase of 293 began badly, as Fahad castled Dawkins, in the first over of the reply. Joe Moores followed in the sixth over for 14, a looping top edge offering Tamim a catch off his own bowling.That brought Will Bennison to the middle, the Yorkshire batter in partnership with Mohammed proceeded to dominate the powerplay, accelerating the score to 129 for two after 15 overs. Isaac’s fifty, off only 34 balls, contained a ramped six along with several conventional boundaries.Bangladesh’s breakthrough came via Shadin Islam’s off-spin, bowling Bennison through the gate for 36 off 32 balls. Soon after, Mohammed’s fine innings of 75 ended with a catch to cover, leaving two new batters at the crease and 151 runs needed off 32.2 overs.Skipper Rew and debutant Jack Nelson maintained the pressure until a critical passage saw Middlesex’s Nelson undone by Ratul. The slow left armer also accounted for Rew as England faltered at 189 for six after 26.2 overs.The situation considerably worsened when Ralphie Albert was needlessly run out. The very next ball, Hatton-Lowe was then caught behind off Shahdin.Ratul closed out the game a few overs later with Firbank’s wicket, a sharp catch of his bowling.Mohammed said: “I really enjoyed it to be fair, I just felt good, I’ve doing a lot of training recently and I feel like a lot of that paid off today. At the end of the day the result didn’t go our way but when Sunday comes hopefully we can put it right.”When I’m batting, I like to stay positive, whatever the scenario is, I’m backing my ability.”Speaking about the Bangladesh spinners claiming eight wickets, he added: “At the start it was quite a fresh ball so it wasn’t doing as much. When the spinners did come back on, I’d just got out before that.”But looking at some of the videos, it looked like it was starting to grip, so if we are playing on the same wicket on Sunday, that could be something to look into.”Mohammed, whose Worcestershire are in the men’s Metro Bank One-Day Cup final against Hampshire later this month, to cap a breakthrough season for the batter said: “I’m loving it, and hopefully in the (Metro Bank) final against Hampshire, we can bring home the trophy.”

Their own Anderson: Man Utd to make £53m bid to sign "world-class" CM

Manchester United’s run of five games unbeaten in the Premier League is evidence that Ruben Amorim is certainly starting to get the best out of the current crop of players Old Trafford.

The 40-year-old’s stint in England has been nothing but plain sailing, as seen by his inability to lead the club to a respectable finish in 2024/25 – subsequently ending the year in 15th place.

However, the hierarchy have shown faith in the former Sporting CP boss, as seen by his £200m spending spree during the recent summer transfer window.

The likes of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have all joined the Red Devils in the last few months, with the latter of the trio already scoring six combined goals in England’s top-flight.

Despite the mammoth investment within the attacking department, the manager is still craving a new central midfielder to help take his side to the next level in the years ahead.

Man United’s hunt for a new central midfielder in January

Over the last couple of weeks, Elliot Anderson has been the name on the lips of all United supporters, with rumours rapidly starting to circle over a move for his signature.

The Nottingham Forest star has risen to stardom over the last 12 months, with the 23-year-old featuring in every league game in 2025/26, even earning him a spot in the England squad under Thomas Tuchel.

It’s been reported in recent days that the Red Devils have already reached out to the Reds over a potential deal for the youngster, but have been quoted a fee in the region of £100m for his services.

However, Anderson isn’t the only midfielder currently in their sights, with the hierarchy also closely monitoring German star Angelo Stiller ahead of the upcoming window.

According to one Spanish outlet, Amorim’s men are preparing an offer in the region of €60m (£53m) for the Stuttgart star, with Real Madrid also interested in a move for his signature.

The report claims that his current employers don’t want to lose the 24-year-old in the near future, but they could be forced to if an acceptable offer is presented by the likes of United.

Why Stiller target would be their own Anderson

United fans have seen first-hand the talents that Anderson currently possesses, after the Forest star managed to run the show in the recent meeting between the sides at the City Ground.

He featured for the entirety of the contest and thrived in and out of possession, as Sean Dyche’s men secured a 2-2 draw against the Red Devils in the East Midlands.

The 23-year-old managed to create three chances for his teammates – offering a threatening option with the ball – whilst also making 14 recoveries and preventing Amorim’s men from extending their winning run.

Anderson’s ability to complete 100% of his dribbles and register 15 passes into the final third further showcases his phenomenal talents – with such a performance leaving the United fanbase demanding his signature.

However, English talents are always more expensive in the modern transfer market, as seen by the current £100m price tag that has been placed on his head at present.

Given the money spent in the summer, it’s unclear if the United hierarchy would splash such a sum, with a potential deal breaking their club-record transfer fee set by Paul Pogba in 2016.

As a result, a move for Stiller could prove to be a more realistic proposition, but that’s not to say he’s a lower quality talent than England international, Anderson.

The German has been labelled as a similar player to the 23-year-old by FBref in the Europa League this season, with the Stuttgart star even bettering him in numerous key areas to date.

Stiller, who’s been dubbed “world-class” by one analyst, has completed more key passes per 90, whilst also making more passes into the opposition box per 90.

Such numbers are no mean feat, especially considering Anderson’s talents in possession, subsequently showcasing the phenomenal talent that the Stuttgart talent currently possesses.

He’s also registered more progressive carries per 90, whilst achieving a higher take-on success rate, with such figures highlighting his dominance over the Forest star with the ball at his feet.

Angelo Stiller for Stuttgart

Stiller has managed to provide key talents out of possession too, even bettering the Englishman in terms of interceptions and clearances made per 90 in 2025/26.

The aforementioned figures could certainly make the German the perfect number six in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system, which could finally end the club’s hunt for a new midfielder.

Anderson may remain as many supporters’ number one choice for the role, but ultimately, his current asking price is way above the range United would spend in January.

As a result, Stiller could offer a cheaper yet more effective option to the Red Devils, potentially helping the side make a top four push come the end of May.
