Manchester United set an unwanted record as Crystal Palace defeated them 0-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday. A smashing strike from Joachim Anderson in the first half was enough to seal the traveling side all three points from the fixture. Erik ten Hag’s men now sit in the 10th position, this being their worst start…
With back-to-back wins over Burnley and Crystal Palace, Erik ten Hag seems to have somewhat steadied the ship at Manchester United amid dealing with several off-the-pitch issues. Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, the lack of control over the dressing room has been one of the big reasons behind the departure of many of his…
Manchester United were able to get back to winning ways at last with a slim 1-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday. The Red Devils desperately needed to secure all three points after a rather disappointing September and were gifted them by Bruno Fernandes’ impressive volley in the first half. Here’s how the players fared on…
Erik ten Hag’s ruthless approach during his early days at Old Trafford led to a lot of encouraging results and appreciation from fans. But now it is apparently starting to divide opinions at Carrington. The Dutch coach has already a lot on his plate, as he deals with countless injury concerns, leaky defence, and his…
Manchester United gear up to face Bayern Munich in their opening clash of the Champions League in the midst of an injury crisis. Harry Maguire became the latest centre-back to join the ever-growing injury list, leaving United’s already depleted defensive line even more lighter. The backline that was fortunate to only concede three goals against…
The erstwhile gloomy and ever-raining clouds of Manchester were clear on this Saturday night, but despair rained on the pitch nevertheless. The Red Devils were deftly defeated 1-3 by Brighton and Hove Albion, with little love in the air for Erik ten Hag and his men. Goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Grob, and Joao Pedro…
Manchester United find themselves in a tricky situation after mutually agreeing to delay Antony’s return to the club after the international break. This comes on the back of a public disagreement between Erik ten Hag and Jadon Sancho. After the Arsenal defeat, Ten Hag claimed Sancho’s absence from the matchday squad was due to his…
Axel Tuanzebe’s career at Manchester United started under former Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho, who handed him an appearance against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup in January 2017. Now the product of the club’s famed academy has joined Ipswich Town on a free transfer. He reunites with another former United coach, Kieran McKenna, at…
The ongoing international break has allowed every normal top European club to take a breather post a busy transfer window. However, Manchester United isn’t your typical club (when has it ever been?). The Red Devils are dealing with not one but two controversies. Their star winger Antony is facing allegations of assault, leading to pressure…
Manchester United’s active transfer window has meant that quite a few familiar faces have left the side even as fresh names and numbers now dot the club’s roster. As a result, though, the fans have not fully gotten a taste of all that these incoming talents have to offer. Mason Mount’s injury cut short his…
Manchester United were one of the busiest clubs in the Premier League in the final 48 hours of the summer transfer window, as they scrambled to get multiple deals over the lines. Altay Bayindir, Sergio Reguilon, and Sofyan Amrabat all moved to Old Trafford late in the window. Even Jonny Evans’ arrival on a short-term…
Manchester United returned from North London empty-handed yet again, as two stoppage-time goals from Arsenal overshadowed Marcus Rashford’s opener. Arsenal took all three points but the 3-1 scoreline certainly flattered them. Up until Declan Rice’s 96th-minute goal from a set piece which was then followed by Gabriel Jesus’s strike in 101th minute, the game was…
Manchester United made three major signings early in the window, bringing in Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund for a combined fee of around £165 million. However, their transfer activity seemingly stalled despite obvious gaps in Erik ten Hag’s squad. The last few weeks have seen the club’s recruitment team attempt to raise funds…
The last day of August and the second last day of the summer transfer window started with Manchester United addressing their goalkeeping situation. The Red Devils confirmed the departure of Dean Henderson on Thursday. The Englishman has moved to South London to play for Crystal Palace in a transfer that would reportedly see United bag…

As per Santi Aouna, the Ligue 1 outfit are now facing a challenging task of convincing the Dutchman to pick their project. It’s claimed the 26-year-old has several offers on the table and…
Manchester United’s left-back issues could be solved by a former Barcelona academy talent, as the Premier League outfit open talks to sign Marc Cucurella. Injuries to Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia have left the Red Devils in a pickle and forced the club’s hierarchy to jump into the transfer market for a new left-back. At…
Manchester United celebrated a hard-fought comeback win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, but their first-half performance showed there’s a long way to go before Erik ten Hag’s men could start hoping to celebrate big titles. United again struggled in transition as Nottingham Forest found it very easy to go from one end to another against…
Luke Shaw’s start to the new season has suffered a jolt with the England international set to spend several weeks on the sidelines through a muscular injury. Tyrell Malacia is also not available because of an unspecified injury and missed the pre-season action. Álvaro Fernández is the only natural left-back at Erik ten Hag’s disposal…
Comebacks are usually the stuff of dreams and at Manchester United they are something of a cult presence. Despite that, Saturday’s 3-2 comeback against Nottingham Forest after going 0-2 down does feel like the solution to a problem brought about through one’s own machinations rather than a legitimate overcoming of any crisis. Here’s how the…
Manchester United’s summer window appears to have taken a little bit of a lull after a rather promising initial period. The side showed great caliber in acquiring the likes of Mason Mount and Andre Onana but ever since the successful acquisition of Rasmus Hojlund, the focus has shifted more towards departures, particularly that of young…

More than one Manchester United fan expected Harry Maguire to no longer be a part of the squad this summer. The writing has been on the wall for some time. The summer confirmed a decision which has been in the works arguably from last season itself with the English defender being stripped off his captaincy…
Manchester United’s performance against Tottenham Hotspur suggested Erik ten Hag can do with another signing or two before the close of the transfer window, as the Red Devils lacked teeth upfront and stability in the middle of the park. There’s little to suggest United would add another forward to their ranks, though things could change…
Manchester United’s 2-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur brought their midfield issues to the fore. In the first half, Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount pressed high to great effect and forced plenty of turnovers, but the forwards failed to make the most of these opportunities. The aggressive approach from the visitors left Casemiro isolated on more…
When Manchester United finished their opening week fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers, a lot of things were up for debate. The side lacked decisiveness in the final third and if not for a likely VAR error, would not have been able to take all three points safe and sound. Apart from that, all the media hype…
