Since Grealish's historic transfer from Aston Villa to Manchester City in 2021‚ as many as 11 high-profile signings worth £100million or more have arrived in the English top-flight. Five of the 10 biggest transfers in club football history were completed in this summer's Premier League transfer window. Enzo Fernandez became the first footballer ever to transfer for over £100million twice after Man City acquired the services of the Argentine World Cup winner from Chelsea.
Michael Carrick says the apology from referees' bosses for the VAR blunder over Erling Haaland's goal in the Manchester derby 'doesn't mean an awful lot'. Howard Webb‚ the head of Pro Ref‚ admitted the error after Haaland's winner for Manchester City at Old Trafford last weekend was allowed to stand‚ even though his teammate Enzo Fernandez was in an offside position and clearly interfering with play.
Enzo Maresca declared that Manchester City are still waiting on an apology from referees' chief Howard Webb for a controversial derby goal in 2023. The weekend victory at Old Trafford was enveloped by controversy‚ Pro Ref admitting a mistake by the VAR officials for awarding Erling Haaland's 60th-minute goal despite Enzo Fernandez interfering with play in an offside position. Webb was in contact with Manchester United in the immediate aftermath‚ with VAR Matt Donohue and assistant Blake Antrobus stood down for the coming week's Premier League matches.
Refs' boss Howard Webb says that those involved in the Manchester Derby blunder were 'really disappointed' with the 'highly unfortunate' error - and has revealed that a furious United have been provided with the full transcript behind the botched VAR call which cost them the game. Despite being flagged for offside on the field‚ City forward Erling Haaland's 60th minute strike was called in for review‚ with ref Michael Oliver subsequently ordered to overturn the original decision and incorrectly allow what would turn out to be the only goal of the game. Replays showed that while Haaland was onside‚ City team-mate Enzo Fernandez - who was clearly interfering with play - was not.
Wayne Rooney launched a furious rant against the 'horrendous' VAR decision to let Erling Haaland's winning goal stand against Manchester United. Referee chiefs have admitted that the call was a mistake in a grovelling apology to United after failing to penalise Enzo Fernandez for straying offside.
Manchester City's former chairman David Bernstein says his old club's transfer spending while their 115 charges case continues in silence 'makes a mockery' of the Premier League's regulation of the top division. Bernstein‚ who was City chairman from 1998 until 2003 and served as Football Association chair 2011-13‚ today attacked the lack of an outcome and questioned the Premier League's handling of the case. City‚ who spent £440million in the transfer window and equalled the British transfer record signing £125m Enzo Fernandez‚ kicked off this season still without resolution to their infamous financial charges case.

Video: Chelsea fans will be sniggering as £125m Enzo Fernandez makes awful mistake on Man City debut
Enzo Fernandez has risked the wrath of Chelsea fans after claiming it was a dream to play for a club 'as big' as Man City after his £125million move‚ while only referencing the Blues as his 'previous club'. Fernandez completed his transfer to Man City on deadline day‚ with the deal equalling the British transfer record fee paid by Liverpool to Newcastle for Alexander Isak last summer. The Argentine had previously angered Chelsea supporters by flirting with a move to Real Madrid last season‚ leading to him being suspended by the club for two matches.
Enzo Fernandez already causing trouble at Man City as ‘first request denied' after £125m deadline day move
Manchester City struck a £125million deadline-day deal to secure Enzo Fernandez from Chelsea - but Xabi Alonso's side were left seething after Monaco pulled the plug on their own agreement for his replacement Lamine Camara. The Fernandez sale equals the British transfer record which was paid to Newcastle by Liverpool for Alexander Isak last summer‚ and is a fixed fee for the 25-year-old Argentinian with no add-ons involved. He was Enzo Maresca's top target in this window. Chelsea thought they had secured Camara from Monaco with less than two hours of deadline day remaining‚ having agreed a £47m deal. However‚ in a dramatic twist‚ the Blues were left stunned and furious when Monaco then went back on their word as the 11pm deadline approached.
Enzo Fernandez joins Man City in British record deal as Chelsea keep their word after Camara failure
Enzo Fernandez has been omitted from Chelsea's matchday squad for the second time in just four days‚ as speculation over his future at Stamford Bridge intensifies amid Manchester City's interest with transfer deadline day looming. The 25-year-old is wanted by City before the transfer window closes on September 1 - with the Etihad outfit preparing a £100million bid‚ as reported by Daily Mail Sport. Even if that offer does come it is set to be rejected‚ with Chelsea wanting £120m. And with Fernandez's future remaining uncertain‚ Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has opted not to include the midfielder for Sunday's Premier League clash at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.
KIERAN GILL: Xabi Alonso says he chose a Chelsea squad that had the 'desire to play' and decided he could not select Enzo Fernandez after speaking privately with the Manchester City target. Fernandez was missing from the match-day selection for Thursday's Carabao Cup win over Luton Town. That was despite Alonso insisting the day before that he would use the Argentinian‚ 25. Fernandez's absence immediately sparked speculation that City had opened club-to-club talks surrounding a potential £120million transfer. However‚ Chelsea sources on Thursday night insisted after defeating Luton that they were still awaiting a formal approach.
KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: We love a transfer update in today's world of club-to-club talks and verbal agreements and sources whispering this and that‚ but there is nothing quite as clear as a surprise absentee on a match day. It smacks of something happening behind the scenes‚ and Manchester City target Enzo Fernandez was nowhere to be seen at Stamford Bridge‚ neither in the team nor on the bench nor in the stands supporting his team-mates in this Carabao Cup second-round victory. That was despite Xabi Alonso telling us a day previous that he intended on using him against League One visitors Luton. Chelsea did not need him. They won by two goals‚ with Danny Welbeck scoring and Hakeem Odoffin sending Estevao Willian's shot into his own net. They arguably should have won by six with the chances that Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers had.
