Manchester United replaced David de Gea with Andre Onana earlier in the summer, but their goalkeeping reshuffle is far from done. Tom Heaton’s injury before the start of the season has put question marks on Dean Henderson’s potential exit, as Erik ten Hag continues to look for a reliable backup goalkeeper. Having said that, whether…
Earlier on Thursday, Fabrizio Romano reported that Fenerbahçe made a proposal worth €15m, including add-ons, to sign the Brazilian midfielder from Manchester United. The transfer expert has now confirmed that their bid has been accepted by the Red Devils and verbal agreement has been reached between the two clubs over Fred’s transfer. The 30-year-old has…
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. The English centre-back who shifted to the Red Devils for a record fee ever paid for a defender has simply not had the sort of career that he was…
Manchester United unveiled their new striker in front of a packed Old Trafford before their friendly against RC Lens over the weekend. Rasmus Hojlund entered the pitch and received a rapturous welcome from over 70,000 fans. During the presentation, he embraced club mascot Fred the Red and held up United’s shirt, albeit without any squad…
When David De Gea left Manchester United earlier this summer an era came to a close. For many supporters of the Red Devils, the trusty Spaniard is all they remember when they think of the club’s goalpost. Such was his lasting and memorable impact. Of course, the signing of Andre Onana brought in a different…
Ramus Hojlund has completed his medical and signed a five-year contract, with the option of an extra year to become Manchester United’s third high-profile signing of the summer. The Red Devils plan to announce the Denmark international’s arrival from Atalanta on Saturday afternoon, when they’ll face RC Lens in a friendly. And Hojlund isn’t the…
Manchester United have done pretty well to ensure Erik ten Hag gets at least three new signings before the end of pre-season, with Ramus Hojlund set to be the latest name to join his ranks after the Premier League side reached an agreement with Atalanta. The Atalanta forward has signed a five-year deal with United…
Manchester United have found an agreement with Sunderland for the permanent transfer of Nathan Bishop to the Stadium of Light. Bishop, 23, joins the English side – where Amad Diallo enjoyed a prolific last season – for an undisclosed fee and becomes the seventh United player to leave on a permanent transfer, which has been…
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. Having unveiled Andre Onana as their new goalkeeper signing less than two weeks ago, the Premier League side struck a deal with Atalanta for Rasmus Hojlund over the weekend. The…
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 signing of Andre Onana has inadvertently started a domino effect that could lead to David de Gea ending up at one of Europe’s biggest clubs. Erik ten Hag’s decision to not guarantee the Spaniard the starting role between the sticks led to United parting ways with their long-standing number one and spending big…
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. Erik ten Hag, who before the clash against Arsenal in New Jersey insisted his side don’t play “friendly” games, would certainly be disappointed with the result, and more importantly…
West Ham have set their sights on Scott McTominay to rejuvenate their midfield following Declan Rice’s exit. The Hammers agreed to let go of their youth product and first-team star Rice to London rivals Arsenal in a record transfer for a British player. The club’s hierarchy stood their ground well during negotiations, compelling Mikel Arteta’s…
Manchester United have to make some strong transfer decisions this summer. Financial restrictions have meant that the club has to sell before they make the decisive purchases to plug holes in their existing roster. 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. However, it was injuries which ended up most forcing the club’s hands and this the loan moves of Marcel Sabitzer and Wout Weghorst were sanctioned. The two…
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. However, another measure of a youth academy’s success is how good of a price-tag its players are able to garner when the time comes…
The Dutch coach fielded a youthful squad in Manchester United’s friendly against Lyon in Scotland. After a 1-0 win courtesy of Donny van de Beek’s volley-finish, 15 players from the group at the Murrayfield Stadium joined up with other senior stars – who trained at Carrington – to make the 31-man travelling squad for the…
Manchester United’s second game of pre-season culminated in a slim 1-0 victory as Lyon were unable to break the defense against a largely disciplined side across both halves. Donny van de Beek’s goal at the start of the second-half made all the difference in the club friendly, but it was certainly a mixed bag rustling…
Manchester United have found a full agreement with Al Nassr for the transfer of Alex Telles, as per reports. The Brazilian full-back joined the Red Devils from FC Porto during Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign and impressed as Luke Shaw’s understudy. And during Ralf Rangnick’s interim stint, he was even viewed as the side’s first-choice left-back.…
In what can only be described as an unexpected turn of events, Manchester United’s one-time quality centre-back Jonny Evans has been re-signed by the club. An official statement by the side confirms that the 35-year-old has been signed on a short-term deal and has been included in the club’s ongoing preseason squad. In fact, the…
Cristiano Ronaldo’s surprise exit from Manchester United and his move to Al-Nassr last season was certainly a dramatic affair. On paper, the contract was penned with Ronaldo as a free agent as his previous deal had been terminated by the Red Devils. As such, the affair wasn’t strictly a United to Al-Nassr transfer. But that…
Erik ten Hag’s first season at the helm of Manchester United was largely one of positives. The sole piece of silverware breaking a dry spell was certainly much-needed, even if critics can rightly point out that the Europa League and FA Cup were within striking distance. The Premier League finish was likewise positive but at…
