Manchester United played their first mid-season friendly on Wednesday, as Erik ten Hag aims to get his squad back in rhythm after club football halted to accommodate the 2022 World Cup. The tournament is ongoing in Qatar, with the quarter-finals scheduled to be played from Friday. 11 United players are still representing their respective nations,…
Bruno Fernandes is shining for Portugal at the grandest stage of all. Portugal cemented their place on top of Group H and moved on to the round of 16 with a statement 2-0 win over Uruguay. Fernandes, who was an unused substitute the last time the two sides met in the World Cup, proved a…
England started their World Cup 2022 campaign with a statement 6-2 win over Iran. Gareth Southgate’s men controlled the game from minute one and invited Iranian forwards to open the space behind by circulating the ball in their defensive third. Harry Maguire and John Stones’ calmness in possession was key in getting the approach right,…
Football’s biggest celebration is here. The Al Bayt will stage the opening match of the 2022 World Cup even as star names return home with injuries, managers scramble to prepare their strongest team in the space of a week, and FIFA president Gianni Infantino lashes out at the critics on the eve of the main event.…
Manchester United progressed into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup after putting four past Aston Villa. The second meeting between the two sides in four days saw Villa go ahead twice, leading to fears of another frustrating result against Unai Emery’s side. As soon as Leon Bailey’s header went into the net after a…
Manchester United fell short of extending their unbeaten streak to 10 games, as Unai Emery’s resurgent Aston Villa side deservedly took all three points on Sunday. The Red Devils did display some encouraging build-up play in a few phases of the game, but their slow starts in both halves and lackluster work of the ball…
Alejandro Garnacho’s goal ensured another Manchester United win but it wasn’t enough to overtake Real Sociedad to claim the top spot in Group E. The visitors started strong and drew the first blood early through Garnacho, who finished Cristiano Ronaldo’s lay-off with a strong strike past goalkeeper Alex Remiro. But the second goal never came…
Man Utd players were not short of resilience in their 1-0 win over West Ham United. A scrappy affair at Old Trafford saw only one goal – Marcus Rashford’s thumping header just before the break. The Red Devils found little success going forward in the second half, but produced impressive defensive showing to hold on…
Manchester United had three different goalscorers in their win over FC Sheriff in the Europa League, but none were talked about more than Antony. The Brazilian winger only played 45 minutes on Thursday night, as Erik ten Hag decided to give him some rest after starting the 22-year-old in 11 straight games since his arrival…
Alejandro Garnacho shined in Manchester United’s 3-0 win over FC Sheriff in the Europa League. The Red Devils needed all three points to keep pace with group leaders Real Sociedad, meaning there wasn’t much room for experiment and complacency going into the mid-week fixture after a tough run of outings in the Premier League. This…
Manchester United maintained their unbeaten run against Chelsea with a stoppage-time equaliser at Stamford Bridge. The Red Devils started the game on the front foot on the back of a dominant win over Tottenham Hotspur but failed to find a go-ahead goal this time. Chelsea were rewarded for holding their ground after a foul on…
A special night at the Theatre of Dreams for Erik ten Hag, as his Manchester United side produced their most dominating performance of the season. The 2-0 defeat somehow flattered the third-best team in the league, as the Red Devils outplayed Tottenham Hotspur from start to finish. Despite Hugo Lloris’ best efforts, he couldn’t keep…
Erik ten Hag’s team selection and tactics were both vindicated, as his Manchester United players delivered a complete performance to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0. Antonio Conte’s men were totally outplayed in the first 45 minutes and had Hugo Lloris to thank for keeping the scoreline level. But the Frenchman couldn’t do much to keep the…
Cristiano Ronaldo was visibly unhappy with Erik ten Hag’s decision to hook him off against Newcastle United. The Portuguese star’s best moment at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon came just before the kick-off, as his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson presented him with a special memento for scoring 700 club goals. Things only went downhill…
Omonia made Manchester United work right until the end for all three points at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag opted to field a strong lineup at home to comfortably wrap up a win and keep United’s hopes of winning the group alive. But the outing was anything but comfortable, despite the Red Devils dominating both…
Robert Lewandowski’s late brace kept Barcelona’s Champions League hopes alive, but a dramatic 3-3 draw has left their fate in Inter Milan’s hands. Barca, who lost the reverse fixture at San Siro last week, started the game on top, thwarted Inter’s plan to catch them on the counter, and took a deserved lead into the…
Juventus face relegation to the Europa League mid-season after their defeat to Maccabi Haifa. The Italian giants are more or less already out of the Serie A title race as they sit 10 points behind league leaders Napoli after nine games, and if their form – one win in the last five league games –…
Manchester United came back from behind to win all three points in back-to-back games, ending Everton’s seven-match unbeaten run. Alex Iwobi’s stunning strike from distance sent home fans into a frenzy in the opening minutes, but the Red Devils, unlike their clash against Brentford and Manchester City, didn’t falter on the road and quickly found…
Man United avoided yet another bump on the road in the Premier League after coming from behind to beat Everton 1-0. Goodison Park was bouncing in the opening minutes, as Alex Iwobi put the hosts ahead with a curling strike past David de Gea. But United quickly found their feet, took control of possession, and…
Omonia Nicosia made Manchester United work hard for all three points in their first visit to the GSP Stadium in close to 20 years. The hosts took the lead through Karim Ansarifard, forcing Erik ten Hag to make a double change at the pause. Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw’s introduction helped the visitors unsettle the…
Manchester United were dismantled by their noisy neighbours, conceding six goals in yet another embarrassing outing away from home. The Red Devils, who have a goal difference of minus three after the first seven games of the Premier League season, have looked shaky out of possession under Erik ten Hag. The 4-0 humbling at Brentford…
Christian Eriksen’s reputation as a deep-lying midfielder is increasing with every appearance for club and country. Eriksen, who first made his name in the Premier League as an attacking midfielder at Tottenham Hotspur, is showing his class from deep in his second act in England. Thomas Frank turned around Brentford’s season by playing Eriksen in…
Manchester United players stole the show in Portugal’s 4-0 win over Czech Republic, as Diogo Dalot bagged the first brace of his senior career. Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes and Dalot were all handed starts by Fernando Santos in the Nations League fixture in Prague on Saturday. The United trio delivered by either scoring or assisting…
Christian Eriksen has started the new season in fine form, pulling the strings in the midfield for both club and country. During the summer transfer window, Eriksen, 30, moved to Manchester United following a short but successful spell under countryman Thomas Frank at Brentford. The free arrival wasn’t anticipated to play a crucial role under…
Manchester United played their first competitive fixture in Moldova and returned home with all three points with a 2-0 win. The Red Devils’ Europa League campaign started with a defeat against Real Sociedad. And with Sheriff Tiraspol on an impressive unbeaten run at home in the competition, Erik ten Hag was in no position to…
Erik ten Hag’s call to make wholesale changes didn’t work as Manchester United lost their opening Europa League match against Real Sociedad. The Spanish outfit didn’t have to do much to record their first win over an English opponent. Their match-winning goal came through a questionable penalty decision after the ball deflected off Lisandro Martinez’s…
Manchester United won their fourth straight game without starting Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese was United’s leading goal scorer last season and was expected to lead their frontline under Erik ten Hag from the get go. However, during the summer transfer window, Ronaldo tried to force his exit and also missed the early parts of pre-season…
Manchester United end Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a 3-1 win at Old Trafford. Antony made a quick impact on his debut, putting United ahead with a calm finish before half-time. After the break, Mikel Arteta’s side had some good spells and equalised through Bukayo Saka. But their naivety in transition…
Manchester United are starting to find their feet under Erik ten Hag after two defeats in the first two Premier League outings of the season. On Thursday, the Red Devils registered their third straight win after beating Leicester City 1-0 away from home. Jadon Sancho was the match-winner, but it was the visitor’s grit and…
Manchester United who until last week looked the most vulnerable side in the Premier League away from home have grinded back to back wins on the road. Erik ten Hag’s men dominated Leicester right from the start, and picked the Foxes apart on transition in the 23rd minute to take the lead through Jadon Sancho.…
Manchester United beat Southampton to collect all three away points for the first time since February. Bruno Fernandes’ well placed finish in the second-half was enough for the Red Devils, as their defence stood strong against Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men and recorded their first clean sheet away from home in the Premier League in 2022. Here’s…
Lisandro Martinez answered his critics by delivering a Man of the Match performance in Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Liverpool. The Argentine centre-back came under the spotlight after United’s 4-0 defeat at Brentford. He was partly blamed for the Bees’ third goal, with Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher ruling that he’s too short to succeed…
Manchester United players worked their socks off on Monday night to produce Erik ten Hag’s first Premier League win. Liverpool, like United, were winless coming into the game. But such was the Red Devils’ performance against Brighton and Brentford, that Jurgen Klopp’s men were not only expected to win, but to repeat the humiliation they…
Bruno Fernandes had an eventful night at Old Trafford, as the Portuguese annoyed Liverpool with his antics all over the pitch. The 27-year-old was handed the captain’s armband in absence of Harry Maguire, who was benched by Erik ten Hag in favour of Raphael Varane. In the game that stole headlines for all the wrong…
Manchester United players stepped up in some fashion, registering a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford. The feeling before the ball was kicked-off was one of anger against the club’s owners, the Glazers, who signed and unveiled Casemiro before the game. The Brazilian’s appearance in the stadium didn’t have much effect, as fans continued…
Manchester United suffered an embarrassing defeat at Brentford, conceding four goals in the first 35 minutes on Saturday afternoon. David de Gea’s horror show allowed the Bees to overpower the Red Devils, who lost all control of the match after conceding twice in quick succession. Josh Dasilva opened the scoring after his shot squirmed under…
Manchester United’s humbling at Brentford was a lesson for new manager Erik ten Hag, who realised just how difficult it’s going to be to implement his ideas and tactics at a club rotten from top to bottom. The players, who have been far too comfortable with a culture of mediocrity, yet again downed their tools…
Erik ten Hag’s first ever Premier League away game produced a storyline for the ages for a league that is celebrating its 30th anniversary this month. The Red Devils were tamed by the Bees, who became the first ever home side to score four first-half goals against the league’s most successful club. Josh Dasilva, Mathias…
Manchester United started their Premier League campaign with a frustrating defeat at Old Trafford courtesy of a brace from Pascal Gross. The Red Devils were sloppy throughout the game, losing possession multiple times in their own-half. A Brighton own goal in the 68th minute ensured an interesting end to the game but wasn’t enough for…
Manchester United suffered their first setback of an otherwise promising pre-season campaign, with Atletico Madrid coming out on top on a sunny day in Norway. In the end, the English outfit lacked a clinical finishing edge to make the key difference. Joao Felix, who is making a habit of scoring against United, found the breakthrough…
Manchester United returned from their tour Down Under at the weekend and added a new pre-season friendly in their schedule. On Wednesday, Erik ten Hag’s men played Wrexham in a behind-closed-doors fixture at Carrington. The Dutch coach included an extra game in his plans to give minutes to new arrivals and players who weren’t regularly…
If there is one thing that these interim days of pre-season have made clear to spectators it is this: Erik ten Hag means business! Whether or not he will succeed is up to a lot of factors and while Manchester United’s results have been overwhelmingly positive, particularly the heavy win over Liverpool and the clean…
Manchester United had a disappointing end to an overall encouraging pre season tour in Australia. The Red Devils failed to see the game out against Aston Villa, conceding twice in the second-half to draw 2-2. Jadon Sancho, one of the standout players on the tour, opened the scoring in the 25th minute by volleying home…
Manchester United are flying high in pre-season, as they ended another outing away from Manchester with a big win. On the latest leg of their tour, the Red Devils played Crystal Palace with over 75,000 fans in attendance in the iconic MCG. The lineup that Erik ten Hag picked from the kick-off against Patrick Vieira’s…
After winning it all in Thailand, Manchester United were able to continue their positive start to the pre-season as the Red Devils secured a 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory. Christopher Ikonomidis ruined the English side’s clean sheet minutes after the kick-off whistle was blown with his well-placed goal. However, the rest of the first half…
Erik ten Hag’s first game in charge of Manchester United went off to a perfect start as the side managed to get the better of Liverpool in a pre-season friendly. The 4-0 scoreline certainly paints a very affirmative picture of the Dutchman’s initial approach. However, more than the changes that the gaffer brought in, it…
Erik ten Hag’s start as Man Utd’s manager went impeccably well, at least as far as friendlies are concerned. The Red Devils faced off against their arch-rivals Liverpool in Bangkok in a pre-season friendly and the 4-0 scoreline in favour of the Mancunians is not one that would have been predicted before the start of…
Manchester United’s 4-0 drubbing by Brighton and Hove Albion confirmed the current season will be statistically their worst in Premier League history. The hosts were winless at the Amex Stadium since Boxing Day before Saturday’s kick-off. After 90 minutes of football, where only one team showed up, Graham Potter’s men ended their disappointing streak by…
Real Madrid were two goals down on aggregate in the final minute of normal time. Manchester City, who have the best defensive record in the Premier League this season, seemed in control. Until they weren’t. There’s no tactical explanation for Rodrygo’s two goals in two minutes followed by Karim Benzema’s match-winning penalty in the fifth…
Man Utd finished their last home game of the season on a high, beating Brentford 3-0 at the Theatre of Dreams. On the night when United fans staged yet another protest about the club’s ownership, the players delivered the biggest win under Ralf Rangnick before doing a lap of honour in front of a partially…
