Charles Leclerc has spoken out on his future amid Ferrari exit speculations.

Leclerc has been at the center of rumours linking him with a move away from the Italian side.

The monegasque driver has reflected on the speculations ahead of Austin Grand Prix.

&ldquo;What I can say is what I&rsquo;ve always said, and that&rsquo;s very clear,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve always loved Ferrari so much and my only obsession at the moment is to win in red, whether it&rsquo;s now or in the future. And I want to bring back Ferrari to the top.

&ldquo;And I would like to add there are lots of speculations around me, but just in general around the team for whatever reason, I feel like there are too many people speaking things not coming from actual facts and it&rsquo;s just a little bit annoying.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s always been like that. And I think as a driver, but I think as a team, we&rsquo;ve just got to focus on our things, which is what we are doing.

&ldquo;But it&rsquo;s just not great and not super nice to see all these things around the team all the time. It&rsquo;s definitely not a situation we want to be in, in a way that the performance is not at the level where we want to be. But we are all focused on trying to turn that situation around, as I was saying.

&ldquo;And whenever there is a situation where the results are not there, then there are always those rumours around that come back. But yeah, I mean, what I say today is what I&rsquo;ve said in the past six or seven years with the team.&rdquo;

Ruben Amorim has provided team news update ahead of Liverpool clash.

The Reds face Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday, October 19, 2025.

Ahead of the game, Amorim said: &quot;Licha is not available. He is near but he is just returning to training with the team. Mazraoui, I don&#39;t know. The rest of the guys, the national players are ready but if you saw the games, some of the players played in Japan so we need to be careful to give more time.

&quot;Bruno played 62 minutes so we give him one more day. We try to balance everything to get everyone ready but the guys who are returning from national teams are ready to play.&quot;

Mikel Arteta has provided an update on Martin Odegaard ahead of Fulham&nbsp;

Odegaard has had several injuries during this season and Arteta has reflected on those.

Arsenal face the Cottagers in the Premier League on Saturday.

&quot;I think he&#39;s in a really good place. He does everything he possibly can to prevent injuries. The ones he had are very difficult to prevent so that takes some weight off,&quot; said Arteta.

&quot;When you dont have an option, you adapt.&quot;

Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.&nbsp;

Forest face the Blues in the Premier League on Saturday, October 18.

Ahead of the game, Merson has predicted it to end in a 1-1 draw.

&quot;Chelsea had a great result against Liverpool and I must admit, I didn&#39;t see that coming. This is a difficult game though. I know it sounds crazy when I say this after just seven games, but it could be last chance saloon for Ange Postecoglou at Nottingham Forest. If he loses this game, I don&#39;t think he will make it to next week!&quot; Merson wrote on Sportskeeda.

&quot;The fans will make it obvious that they want him gone if he cannot get a result against Chelsea. Let&#39;s not forget that there wasn&#39;t a lot between these two teams last season, even though Chelsea finished above Forest in the end.

&quot;Chelsea are crying out for consistency. It was a great win over Liverpool but they must back it up with another three points in this game. There&#39;s no point in beating the reigning champions and then failing to win against a struggling Forest. It has been a bit of a stop-start season for Chelsea and they must now put together a run of good wins to take charge in the race for a top four finish.

&quot;Chelsea duo and Liverpool teenager included in list as Lionel Messi names his top 10 wonderkids to watch. 
Cristiano Ronaldo becomes all-time leading goal scorer in World Cup qualifiers after scoring for Portugal against Hungary.

&quot;The early kick-off after an international break sometimes works as a leveller for the underdogs. And this is a cup final for Postecoglou and his team. So I have a feeling that it could be an advantage for them. Looking at the table, Forest are 17th and it&#39;d be a massive shock if Chelsea cannot beat them on Saturday. But Forest are a decent team on paper, and they have to turn the tide sooner rather than later. So I&#39;m backing them to get a point.&quot;

LIVE: Liverpool vs Manchester United

Manchester United will face Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday, October 19, 2025.

Ahead of the game, Paul Merson has made his prediction on Sportskeeda. According to Merson, the Reds will celebrate a 2-0 win.

&quot;This is one of the biggest games in England and it has provided great entertainment in recent seasons too,&quot; wrote Merson.

&quot;Liverpool have lost three in a row in all competitions and if Arsenal win on Saturday, this is a must-win game for them. I thought Liverpool fully deserved to get beat by Crystal Palace and Galatasaray. They must get back on track now. All the three Liverpool defeats have come away from home and now they return to Anfield. We all know Liverpool are a different beast on home turf, and&nbsp;Manchester United haven&#39;t been great on their travels! I said this before as well, Liverpool went too top heavy in the summer transfer window.

&quot;People told me Alexander Isak would help Liverpool walk the league. But what it has done is, created a confusion inside Arne Slot&#39;s head! It will be at least until December when Slot knows his best team. And if you don&#39;t know your best team, you can&#39;t win the league title! I have a feeling Isak will start this game because of the transfer fee. You just can&#39;t leave him out when you pay that kind of money, can you? If you pay over &pound;100 million for players, they have to be in the line-up for the big games and this is one of them. I also think Florian Wirtz is a decent option for this game. Manchester United are not strong in midfield and I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if Slot deploys Wirtz in that no.10 role. I believe Wirtz can cause problems to United too.

&quot;We have to talk about Mohamed Salah as well, he has struggled so far this season. Without Trent Alexander-Arnold, he isn&#39;t the same player. When Liverpool had Trent, he was so good on the ball that opponents had to get close to him and always put pressure on him whenever he had the ball. Now that he&#39;s gone, teams are just doubling down on Salah on that flank and giving him no space. 
I don&#39;t think Liverpool will lose at home, they will snap out of this run. Manchester United will be lucky if they can walk away with something from Anfield.&quot;
