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.

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.

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…
Manchester United have agreed to loan Brandon Williams to Ipswich Town for the 2023/24 season, handing him an opportunity to link up with Kieran McKenna.

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…
Manchester United’s attempts to offload Harry Maguire have stalled and unless there’s a late twist, the Englishman is likely to continue at Old Trafford. However, there are still several other outcasts who could depart Old Trafford before the close of the transfer window. Erik ten Hag is only going to let go of Maguire after…
Manchester United supporters appeared relieved and upset alike when it was speculated last week that Harry Maguire would be on his way to West Ham after the clubs had agreed to a transfer fee pending personal terms. However, said personal terms did not materialize and now supporters are truly confused about what to feel, with…
Mason Mount’s competitive debut saw Manchester United win all three points and keep a clean sheet at home. Still, his midfield performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers is dividing opinion. The visitors actually were the better side for much of the game, and if not for their forward’s indecisiveness and Andre Onana’s brilliance, Wolves would’ve at least…
Fred has departed Manchester United, marking the end of a reliable midfield partnership at the club. Likewise, several other familiar names are also thought to be on the cusp of departing the side. Chief here is that of former club captain Harry Maguire, who is believed to be on the verge of joining West Ham…
The Harry Maguire situation at Manchester United points to an interesting trend this transfer window. Be it for meeting Financial Fair Play restrictions or simply clearing the deadwood from the squad, it is evident that Erik ten Hag is keen on exits at the club. So far, the side have fared well with respect to…
