Transfer news, Manchester derby looms for Carrick, and much more: football – live

Donyell Malen is on the move. Villa say he has joined Roma for an undisclosed fee … while the Italian club say he has signed on loan with an option to buy. Some clarity would be much appreciated. Malen scored seven goals in 29 games for Villa this season and departs after a year, having joined from Borussia Dortmund last January.

Hello, hello, hello. The big story this weekend is Michael Carrick’s second debut as Manchester United’s manager/head coach, and what a task it is: the noisy neighbours at home. How things have changed since his first Manchester derby as a player, a 3-1 victory for United in December 2006, with goals from Louis Saha, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo – and a first and last City strike for Hatem Trabelsi. We’ll be looking ahead to that and much more.
