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…
Xavi Simons is set to return to Paris Saint-Germain’s books after the Ligue 1 outfit triggered a buy-back clause to re-sign him from PSV. But uncertainty remains over his immediate future under new manager Luis Enrique. Accordingly, multiple European clubs have been linked with a loan move for the former Barcelona talent, who found his…
Manchester United appears to be a club in the mood for sales this summer. In particular, the hierarchy seems to be taking clear-cut decisions when it comes to some of their youngsters. In continuation of the same, it comes as little surprise that Anthony Elanga is on the radar of multiple clubs. According to The…
Fred’s time at Manchester United is likely to come to an end this summer. The Brazilian midfielder had grown into something of a fan favourite due to his charisma on and off the field. While the former Shakhtar Donetsk star never fully lived up to his price-tag, he was an instrumental presence, particularly in the…
Tahith Chong’s return to the Premier League will benefit Manchester United, who parted ways with their academy product permanently last summer. Chong made 16 senior appearances for the Red Devils before securing a permanent transfer to Birmingham City in a deal understood to be in the region of £1.5m, with United also reaching an agreement…
Manchester United’s crowded pre-season fixtures commenced with a fruitful trip to Oslo where they faced off against their now-relegated rivals Leeds United. The game went quite late until a clear winner emerged but it was the Mancunian giants who secured victory with an impressive second-half performance with the scoreline culminating 2-0 with goals from youngsters…
Manchester City have built themselves into a real force in recent years, assembling a squad full of world-class players who ended the Cityzens’ wait for a Champions League trophy last season. And their transfer activity this summer shows they are in no mood of settling with just one European title. City have already replaced Ilkay…
David de Gea’s long-awaited departure from Manchester United has been confirmed and it is only a matter of time before his replacement Andre Onana makes his entrance. The Inter Milan star made a lot of headlines in the Champions League last season and is clearly one of the best in the game. Alas, De Gea’s…
Rasmus Hojlund has his heart set on a move to Manchester United despite interest from Juventus. The 20-year-old made waves in Italy in his maiden season with his huge frame (6’4″) and immense pace, and took little time in making Atalanta’s striker position his own. His introduction at the international stage was no different, as…
Manchester United are reportedly set to sign Andre Onana next week, having already cut ties with David de Gea. The Spaniard became a free agent on June 30 after United allegedly backed out of an agreed proposal. However, his return wasn’t ruled out until early this week, as United were open to holding face-to-face talks…
Manchester United’s transfer activity so far this summer suggests they intend to raid their traditional top six rivals to strengthen Erik ten Hag’s project. The summer started with Erik ten Hag prioritizing the signing of Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur. Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, has little desire to negotiate with an English club for…
Manchester United have switched their focus on bringing in Andre Onana to Old Trafford, having already announced the signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea. In Mount, Erik ten Hag gets the player who will add physicality and tenacity out of possession to his midfield and help United penetrate low-block defences with the ball at his…
Manchester United officially unveiled their first signing of the summer, welcoming Mason Mount from Chelsea. The Red Devils kept the announcement of a deal that could reach £60m rather simple, sharing a video of Mount wearing the club’s new home kit with the caption: “The excitement is mounting.” Ironically, they managed to generate all the…
Jack Butland has revealed he snubbed a permanent contract offer from Manchester United in favour of a switch to Rangers. The Englishman joined Erik ten Hag’s squad in January on loan from Crystal Palace following the departure of Martin Dubravka and ended his six-month stint without a single appearance under his belt, with Ten Hag…
Mason Mount has completed his medical at Carrington and is set to be formally announced as a Manchester United player imminently. But he might not be the only midfield signing through the door at the club this summer. The Red Devils have agreed to pay an initial £55 million with another £5m in add-ons to…
AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly offered a ‘football lifeline’ to Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood. The 21-year-old, who last played for United more than one and a half years ago, remains on the club’s books but is yet to be reinstated into Erik ten Hag’s team. He has been pictured training alone. United…
Manchester United have reportedly seen their €35m transfer bid for Rasmus Højlund rejected. Having already pulled out of the race for Harry Kane’s signature due to Tottenham Hotspur’s tough stance on his future, the Red Devils set their sights on the Atlanta striker, who is viewed as an attainable target. Højlund has grabbed the attention…
Manchester United have agreed to let talented defender Ethan Laird join Birmingham City on a permanent transfer. The Englishman spent last season on loan at Queens Park Rangers and made 33 appearances in all competitions – an encouraging number considering his past injury struggles – for the London outfit. However, the highly-rated right-back’s promising stint…
Manchester United fans are still waiting for the club to complete their first summer signing in a transfer window that is regarded as the one where Erik ten Hag was allowed to transform his squad into serious Premier League title challengers. On the final day of June, United remain in the dark over their full…
Erik ten Hag and Manchester United goalkeepers find themselves in a tricky spot, with the club’s hierarchy yet to resolve the goalkeeping conundrum. In less than 48 hours, David de Gea will become a free agent, but there are no concrete suggestions from either United or the player’s entourage that he’s leaving Old Trafford this…
Manchester United have agreed fresh terms with striker Mateo Mejia. United’s search for a new striker is not going exactly to plan so far. Erik ten Hag wants to sign Harry Kane but Tottenham Hotspur have shown little desire to negotiate for their talisman despite his contract expiring in 12 months. Meanwhile, asking prices for…
Manchester United’s negotiations with Chelsea over the signing of Mason Mount remain at a standstill, but they are expected to face little resistance in their pursuit of another summer signing. Strengthening midfield alongside the frontline remains Erik ten Hag’s priority, but the Dutch coach is also keen on adding a new goalkeeper, with United yet…
Manchester United have left their £55m bid for Chelsea star Mason Mount on the table, but it seems they aren’t willing to wait for much longer. The Old Trafford hierarchy aren’t best pleased with their negotiations with Chelsea, who have so far rejected three bids for Mount and have instead made a counter-proposal of £58m…
Manchester United are set to sign English defender Harry Amass from Watford. United’s talks with Chelsea over the transfer of Mason Mount have reached an impasse, with the Red Devils not keen on increasing their offer to get closer to the Blues’ asking price of over £60m. Having already pulled out of the race for…
Alejandro Garnacho appears to be next in line to wear Manchester United’s famous number 7 shirt. Cristiano Ronaldo’s abrupt departure in November of last year left the iconic shirt vacant and Erik ten Hag without a reliable goal-scorer. Marcus Rashford quickly took the mantle of leading the Red Devils’ attack. In January, the Englishman became…
Manchester United have moved closer to securing a deal with Chelsea for Mason Mount after tabling their third bid for the midfielder. Earlier this week, Chelsea turned down United’s improved second bid worth up to £50m for the 24-year-old. Having already convinced Mount to join Erik ten Hag’s project, United have returned swiftly to the…
Borussia Dortmund are on the lookout for a new midfielder, having sold Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid in a deal north of €100m.

Manchester United have agreed to cut ties with Zidane Iqbal permanently, as the talented star failed to make a breakthrough under Erik ten Hag. The 2022-23 campaign kicked off with hopes of Iqbal carving out his place in the senior setup on the back of a promising pre-season and United’s lack of new midfield additions…
