Manchester United coach Darren Fletcher has been charged by the FA for Man Utd's fixture against Brentford last Saturday in the Premier League.

The FA say the coach had acted "in an improper and/or confrontational manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words" towards the referee.

Newcastle United

If Isak's contractual situation is 'complex', it's far more simple when it comes to Anthony Gordon. The forward signed a long-term contract with Newcastle earlier this week

Howe said: "It was a difficult summer for him, there's no doubt about that. It was a difficult summer for a lot of the players because, through no fault of their own, they are reading headlines on their futures which can be destabilising.

"Anthony had the Euros which was a brilliant experience for him - maybe didn't play as much as he wanted - so there was a frustration there - but then he's thrust back into the action here and he'd hardly had any training and hadn't played in the Euros.

"There was a lot of psychological aspect to deal with and I think he's handled it really well I think this move by him just ends any other thought other than being at his best for us which is his priority and always has been his priority but hopefully it accelerates that."

Newcastle United

With more injury concerns to Callum Wilson, it puts more responsibility on the shoulders of Alexander Isak, who has scored just once in all competitions this season.

There have been reports, however, that contract talks with Isak have been stalling recently. The Swedish striker has three years left on his contract, but manager Eddie Howe says it's a 'complex situation.'

Howe said: "Regarding the contracts, I'm not necessarily involved in those discussions day-to-day, I will hear bits and pieces.

"With Alex, he's got a long contract anyway and we have to be careful regarding our spending due to PSR.

"It's not a clear-cut situation, we of course love him and are desperate from him to stay at Newcastle for many years and score loads of goals for us. But I don't see a short-term issue with his contract."

Is Graeme right? Or are you a fan of a Premier League club who would like him at the helm?

Newcastle United

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe on Callum Wilson: "We're going to lose Callum for the next three games definitely. He's suffered some tightness in his body and he hasn't felt like he could kick on to the last part he needed. He had trained with us and had looked really good but with Callum, he's hyper-sensitive and we're hyper-sensitive to the work. It's no injury as such, he's just not ready to come back again."

BBC 5 Live Breakfast

Former England and Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson spoke about Manchester United's draw on BBC 5 Live Breakfast : "I thought it was a really tough place to go, people know the atmosphere here in Istanbul and Turkey. For the club matches, it's a highly intense, highly driven atmosphere. It was a caldron last night. Some of the noise inside the stadium, we've not heard before. It was an incredible atmosphere.

"It was a tough game for Manchester United and on the grand scale of things, I think a point was a decent result for them. It was a hard-fought point away from home, the same as against Porto. I think if they do qualify automatically out of this tournament, then they may look at this as a point well earned rather than two lost."

Bournemouth

Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola on Ryan Christie's corner routine goal against Arsenal: "We scored from a very similar routine against QPR in the FA Cup last season but nobody talked about that goal.

"When you do these things against this kind of opposition, everyone is paying more attention. I think we also scored a very good routine against [Nottingham] Forest in the first game but it was disallowed.

"We are doing good stuff. We've had another three set-piece goals disallowed and probably we weren't getting all the value we were doing at set-plays."

James King is set to join Arsenal as their director of football operations.

King previously worked at the club but left to join the Professional Footballers' Association as their general counsel.

The role he is coming back to at the club is the position left vacant by Richard Garlick, who became Arsenal’s managing director when chief executive Vinai Venkatesham left the role at the end of last season.

Garlick joined the Gunners in 2021 from the Premier League, where he had been director of football.

It's been a week dominated by European football, but if you're missing your Premier League fix, don't worry, we have a plethora of Premier League news conferences on their way.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou said it's now 'pretty hard to keep on lid on' Mikey Moore's potential after the 17-year-old's performance during Thursday's Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar.

"He was exciting, you can't deny it," said the Australian. "I love the way Mikey's taking it all in his stride. He's working hard every day and wanting to develop.

"We've got to be really careful about how we use him and when we use him, but I have no fear throwing him in."

Manchester United's nightmare in Europe continued on Thursday as they passed the one-year mark without a victory in European competition. Or - if you'd rather - just one win in 19 months.

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag believes two points from two games on the road in Europe is a good return but is frustrated that his side haven't been able to hold on for victories having led in both matches.

Hear more of what United's Dutch boss had to say below.

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live:"It was a fantastic game to watch. Erik ten Hag has a depleted squad, but his team came out and showed attitude. He can take a lot of positives from that."

Former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen added: "Manchester United kept the ball well and Erik ten Hag made some changes which worked well.

"If they look back over that game, with the hostile environment, they will be a bit disappointed as the game was there for the taking. If it had been a boxing match then Manchester United would have won on points."

Larne boss Tiernan Lynch was left "disappointed and frustrated" after watching his team slip to a 4-1 defeat by Shamrock Rovers in their Uefa Conference League game at Windsor Park.

Josh Honohan put the League of Ireland champions in front after just three minutes and Johnny Kenny doubled the lead before a Tomas Cosgrove own goal made it 3-0.

Chris Gallagher netted early in the second half to give Larne hope, before the impressive Graham Burke sealed a comfortable win for the Dubliners.

"I'm disappointed and frustrated - we conceded really stupid goals at really bad times," said Lynch.

"We got hit by a sucker-punch very early. The one thing you can't do is let Rovers get into a rhythm and we got punished for that."

It was a harsh lesson for Larne, who are the first team from Northern Ireland to qualify for the league stage of a European competition.

"We knew how good a team Rovers are and how many good individuals they have," Lynch said.

"We just didn't do the things that we worked so hard to make sure we carried out and got punished badly."

A milestone win in a major European competition.

The triumph over Astana might not send shockwaves through football, but try telling The New Saints a first win for a Welsh league side at this level did not matter.

For a whole host of reasons and with numerous ramifications too.

The landmark nature of the victory is one thing, as goals from Rory Holden and Declan McManus made sure of a maiden Conference League win.

But TNS' success in their temporary home of Shrewsbury carried a far greater significance than just being a footnote in history, for what it meant to the players, the bank balance, the chances of progress – and the whole of Welsh football too.

Mikey Moore caused the AZ defence plenty of problems, especially in the second half when he switched to the left wing.

The 17-year-old had 54 touches in the match and played some teasing crosses into the box.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said it's 'exciting for the club' to have Moore in their roster after what's been a remarkable few months for the youngster.

Spurs signalled their intentions to use him in their first team at the end of last season. He's since signed his first professional contract and has been used six times already this campaign.

Manager Ange Postecoglou said people should be 'rightly worried about putting too much pressure on young players' after Mikey Moore's exciting performance during Tottenham's Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar.

But captain-on-the-night James Maddison didn't get that memo.

"I thought we had Neymar on the left wing!" Maddison told TNT Sports. "He is fearless, [he has] that young, fearless mentality.

"He's a brilliant lad, he has bags of ability. I will hopefully help him with wise words but he has all the ability and well done to him."
