Cristiano Ronaldo remains in a league of his own on the international stage, as he stretched his goal tally to 115 with a hat-trick.

Manchester United could be facing an upcoming run of tough fixtures without Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane. Maguire was forced off the pitch due to a calf injury during United’s defeat to Aston Villa before the international break.

Man United coaching staff aims to get the best out of their midfield options by working on Scott McTominay’s game.

But this season the duo have looked shaky during defensive transitions as well, leading…
Manchester United intend to keep Paul Pogba with the backing of the Glazers. The Frenchman’s current contract is set to expire next summer and he will be allowed to sign a pre-contract with European clubs once the winter transfer window opens.

Real Madrid remain interested in signing a new striker at the earliest opportunity, despite Karim Benzema leading the goal-scoring charts amongst Europe’s top five leagues.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer didn’t get many things right on Wednesday night but his substitutions worked wonders as Manchester United defeated Villarreal 2-1 in a rematch of last season’s Europa League final. Unai Emery’s men were all over the hosts in the first-half, as David de Gea was called into action on several occasions. He was…
Cristiano Ronaldo’s winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time masked a terrible Manchester United performance, including his own. Villarreal dominated the Red Devils more on Wednesday night than they did in their Europa League triumph at Gdansk in May, opening the scoreline in the 53rd minute. But United fought back to win their first…
Man United managed to exact revenge of their Europa League final defeat on Villarreal through Cristiano Ronaldo’s 95th-minute winner.

Manchester United take on Villarreal in a rematch of the Europa League final last season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be under the same scrutiny he was after the penalty-shootout defeat in Gdansk if he fails to exact revenge on Unai Emery’s men on Wednesday night, as United have lost three of their last four games…
Anthony Martial is on Borussia Dortmund’s shortlist of candidates to replace Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has started the Bundesliga season in spectacular fashion, scoring seven goals in Dortmund’s opening six games. The Frenchman, meanwhile, is yet to open his account, and has fewer appearances in all competitions than the number of times the former’s name…
Marcus Rashford is nearing a return to action, having been pictured in training away from the main group alongside Amad. The duo remain unavailable for Manchester United’s Champions League clash against Villarreal, but if things go as planned, Rashford will be available for the European night outing against Atalanta post the international break.

Man United are reportedly starting to run out of patience with Aaron Wan-Bissaka and already have a replacement in mind. The full-back has had a disappointing start to the campaign and is yet to put up a convincing performance so far this season. Wan-Bissaka has consequently been under harsh criticism of late, especially following his…

David de Gea was the Red Devils’ hero against West Ham, while in the Aston Villa defeat, Bruno…

Aston Villa have caused an upset at Old Trafford after having defeated Man Utd this afternoon. The Lions won the game by a lone goal from Kortney Hause towards the end of regulation time. Bruno Fernandes, unfortunately, failed to get his side level after hoofing his spot-kick off-target during injury time. A penalty miss for…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a theory on why Manchester United are not getting penalties in the recent matches. Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t awarded two penalties at the London stadium, as the Red Devils ironically came close to dropping two points after a late decision in favour of West Ham. David de Gea’s heroics secured the win…
Axel Tuanzebe will return to Old Trafford on Saturday as Aston Villa face Manchester United. The Englishman is currently on loan at Villa, meaning he will have to sit out the game this weekend as Premier League regulations do not allow a loanee to play against their parent club. Quite a shame considering how well…
West Ham didn’t need to wait too long for a redemption of their dramatic Premier League loss on Sunday against Manchester United. The Hammers knocked the Red Devils out of the Carabao Cup, as Manuel Lanzini’s early goal remained unanswered by the hosts. David Moyes will face Pep Guardiola’s Man City in the next round of…
Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for Anthony Martial during the upcoming transfer window. Since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho, the Frenchman has fallen far below the pecking order. With Ronaldo kicking off his second spell in stellar fashion whilst Martial is yet to contribute to a single goal so…
Rio Ferdinand is baffled by Raheem Sterling’s situation at Man City. Sterling was one of England’s best players in the Euros, but has found his game time limited at the club level, both before and after the summer tournament. Pep Guardiola has only started the Englishman in two of City’s opening five league games this…
Cristiano Ronaldo has started his second act at Manchester United like he never left. The club always had a special place in his heart, partly because of Sir Alex Ferguson. United’s former manager brought the then teenage talent from Sporting Lisbon, and was key behind the superstar’s decision to return to Old Trafford this time…
Fans at the London Stadium saw a glimpse of Jose Mourinho in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer during Manchester United’s visit on Sunday.

Jesse Lingard demonstrated why he is still revered by the West Ham supporters by scoring a worldie at the London Stadium. The Englishman, like his boyhood club, loves comebacks. After barely featuring for Manchester United during the first half of the 2020-21 season, he moved to London, and propelled David Moyes’ side to the European…
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have just scripted an effective strategy in bringing on Jesse Lingard against West Ham United.

However, the 2-1 loss to Young Boys in…
Manchester United certainly had their stars and David De Gea to thank as they secured a 2-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday.

Fergie-time winners certainly scripted much of Manchester United’s history but on Sunday the Red Devils added a page to the late drama in different ink. David de Gea saved a last-minute penalty to keep Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side’s 2-1 scoreline over West Ham United intact. The celebrations were jubilant. An ecstatic London crowd probably could…
Pep Guardiola has hit back at the official Manchester City supporters club following their harsh remarks. The Cityzens faced RB Leipzig in the Champions League earlier this week.

The new contract extension could be announced within the next few weeks, as after talks for months,…
Jorge Mendes was involved in one of the biggest transfers of the summer, facilitating Cristiano Ronaldo’s long-awaited return to Manchester United.

Paris Saint-Germain already signed Lionel Messi, while Chelsea, another…
Manchester United see Hannibal Mejbri as a potential Paul Pogba replacement. Pogba’s current contract expires at the end of the season, meaning he will be free to speak to other European clubs and sign a pre-contract during the winter transfer window.
