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.

Having said that, whether…

David De Ge’s time at Manchester United was certainly one that fans will find difficult to forget. There were entire seasons where if not for the heroics of the Spaniard, there was a good chance that United would have been deeply struggling near the 8th or 9th position in the Premier League table. This is…
Ever since Bruno Fernandes was awarded Manchester United’s captaincy after it was taken away from Harry Maguire, the writing has appeared to be on the wall.

When David De Gea left Manchester United earlier this summer an era came to a close.

Manchester United’s recruitment team, which is led by the club’s director of football John Murtough, appears to be working round the clock in recent weeks.

Manchester United sure have been in talk of a lot of departures this transfer window. This is a departure from their usual summer affairs when the club is linked with just about every player up for sale in the window. Part of this could stem from FFP rules to balance the books as well as…
The ongoing pre-season tour has certainly spelled many positives for Manchester United. However, the overwhelming negative has to be the looming absence of a proper striker at the club. Erik ten Hag has experimented with a variety of players for that role in the games so far but a specialized striker appears to be the…

Manchester United’s winning run in the pre-season came to an end in Texas, as Real Madrid dominated the Red Devils to secure a 2-0 comfortable win.

However, there has also been a need to clear the deadwood off the bench and the side has been making big…
The previous transfer window was an odd one for Manchester United, even by Erik ten Hag’s standards. The club has obvious loopholes and areas where they needed reinforcements.

In his pre-match press conference, Erik ten Hag underlined the importance of United’s clash with Arsenal by insisting his men “don’t play friendly games.” They responded accordingly, beating Arsenal 2-0 and then 5-4 on penalties in their first game of the Tour 2023. Both Ten Hag and Arteta fielded strong XIs in front of a…
Manchester United’s youth setup has been quite active as of recent. The rise of talents like Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay is testament to its success for the United first team.
