Manchester United have one foot in the final of the League Cup after a convincing 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the first-leg semi-final tie at the City Ground. Marcus Rashford maintained his new-found habit of scoring for fun and put the visitors in command of the clash with a sixth-minute opener. The English winger…
Manchester United could find themselves busy in the last days of the January transfer window. The Red Devils, who travel to Nottingham Forest for the first leg of the League Cup tonight, are not only aiming to bounce back from their setbacks at Crystal Palace and Arsenal on the pitch but also working on rejuvenating…
Erik ten Hag’s preferred Manchester United starting XI is starting to take shape, and the last two results have only highlighted the importance of the Dutchman’s key starters. Anthony Martial’s absence against Crystal Palace and Arsenal has seen United drop four points. While without Casemiro, their midfield was cut through with ease by Mikel Arteta’s…
Scott McTominay might not be a regular under Erik ten Hag, but he’s still attracting interest from another Premier League side. The Scot started against Arsenal on Sunday but failed to contribute much in and out of possession, allowing the hosts to comfortably sustain attacks in the statement 2-1 win. McTominay got his first league…
Amad Diallo seems to have found his footing at Sunderland after struggling to force his way into the starting XI at Manchester United and Rangers. In Tony Mowbray, who only moved to the Stadium of Lights because Alex Neil departed for Stoke City, not only Sunderland but United too appeared to have struck gold. Sunderland…
The World Cup is always one of the most anticipated sports events in the world. Fans count down the days, cheer their favorite teams to get the past qualification stage, and progress to the next round. Some tend to get more involved in the game through platforms like sportybet. Each country has strived to be…
Arsenal came back from behind to seal a statement win over Manchester United at home. Mikel Arteta’s men went behind early, lost their lead at the hour mark, and still managed to keep all three points at the Emirates courtesy of a late Eddie Nketiah goal to prove their title credentials. On the other hand,…
Manchester United travel to north London without Casemiro, as Erik ten Hag’s men look to get back to winning ways by ending Arsenal’s unbeaten run. Mikel Arteta’s side haven’t lost a home game in the Premier League this season. Interestingly, United are the only side that have managed to make table-toppers Arsenal eat humble pie…
Leeds United’s search for Mark Jackson’s replacement is set to come to an end, with Jesse Marsch’s side close to bringing in a coach who spent the second half of last season in Manchester, less than 50 miles from Leeds. Jackson left Leeds to join League One club MK Dons in December, which opened up…
Alejandro Garnacho is set to be rewarded with a new contract after establishing himself as an important player in Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United squad. The academy graduate, who was given his senior debut by Ralf Rangnick last season, has pushed his way into Ten Hag’s squad after not having the greatest of starts to…
Wout Weghorst’s signing and Jadon Sancho’s return to training with Manchester United’s first team have improved Erik ten Hag’s options going forward. Sancho, who last played for United in the 1-1 draw at Chelsea in October, started training with his teammates ahead of his side’s trip to south London to face Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Ten…
The last 10 minutes at Selhurst Park proved to be a nightmare for Manchester United. The Red Devils were in control with a goal lead until the last quarter of the game. Bruno Fernandes’ first-half strike appeared to be enough for the visitors to record their 10th consecutive win in all competitions, as Crystal Palace…
Michael Olise scored a brilliant free-kick in stoppage time to end Manchester United’s winning run. The Red Devils enjoyed a dominant first half in South London and went ahead through Bruno Fernandes’ goal just before the break. However, the visitors lost their grip on the game in the second half after making a number of…
Harry Maguire’s lack of game time under Erik ten Hag has prompted interest from a Premier League club. Maguire, 29, enjoyed a fine World Cup with England this winter. But his performances in Qatar haven’t managed to influence team dynamics in his favour at Manchester United. If anything, Ten Hag’s seemingly successful experiment of deploying…
Erik ten Hag’s Luke Shaw experiment is arguably one of the best recent gambits in football. The Englishman has partnered Raphael Varane in the defence as a centre-back, effectively keeping World Cup winner Lisandro Martinez at bay. In doing so, a World Cup-winning centre-back pair is denied to the Old Trafford faithful. Regardless, the unlikely…
Alejandro Garnacho’s emergence as a game-changing option off the bench in recent months has thrown the future of another Manchester United forward into doubt. Marcus Rashford has become a nailed-on starter on the left flank with his record-breaking goal-scoring streak. Garnacho, despite limited starts due to the England international’s form, is thriving under the tutelage…
Newcastle United are looking to strengthen their squad in January in their push for a top-four spot in the Premier League. The takeover has changed the fortunes of the North East club, with the Magpies now dreaming of a return to Champions League football for the first time since 2003. Newcastle, who have spent around…
Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford’s brilliant link-up inspired Manchester United’s comeback 2-1 win over Manchester City, but the visitors weren’t best pleased with the former’s goal. The Red Devils kept the likes of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne quiet in the first half thanks to the elite off-ball structure implemented by Erik ten Hag.…
Erik ten Hag’s first derby outing was a learning experience, and the second turned out to be a testament to his elite game management. Erling Haaland and Phil Foden had a field day at the Etihad 104 days ago. On Sunday, they came up against a side that – in the words of Bruno Fernandes…
Manchester United got their derby revenge, as the Red Devils came from behind to stun their noisy neighbours. Erik ten Hag’s men allowed Manchester City to enjoy the lion’s share of possession, but kept Erling Haaland and company quiet in the first half. Jack Grealish’s introduction after the break opened the gap for Kevin De…
Manchester United had Erik ten Hag to thank as they secured a convincing 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Saturday. The Old Trafford encounter was nothing like the frankly embarrassing 6-3 meeting at the Etihad earlier in the season which was the Dutchman’s baptism of fire. This time around, the credit goes to the former…
Only the sun shone brighter than Manchester United as the Red Devils stamped rejuvenated authority over their neighbours in a thumping display of excellence. Erik ten Hag’s side secured a 2-1 victory with Jack Grealish’s silencing opener deafened by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford with their well-crafted team goals. Here’s how the home side fared…
Manchester United’s decision to chase a short-term solution to their attacking issues kept them out of the race for marquee names. Cody Gakpo, who at one point seemed destined to join hands with Erik ten Hag in Manchester, moved to Merseyside instead. Atletico Madrid made Joao Felix available on loan, but their exuberant asking price…
Manchester United are on a winning streak of eight straight matches in all competitions, and are favourites going into the Manchester derby tomorrow. That was certainly not the case the last time the Red Devils were scheduled to face their neighbours. United were sixth on the table after losing two of their opening six league…
Manchester United are signing Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley. But they could lose one of their forwards to an English side before the end of the winter window. United, Weghorst’s parent club Burnley, and Besiktas, where he spent the first half of the season on loan, have reached an agreement that will see the…
