Manchester United’s rocky start to their UEFA Champions League group stage finally picked some pace during their 1-0 win over Copenhagen.

“We Score When We Want, We Score When We Waaaant, MANCHESTER UNITED, WE SCORE WHEN WE WANT.” On a day honouring Sir Alex Ferguson’s unthinkable personal loss, his team kept his name’s hope soaring high with Scott McTominay coming in with two Fergie time goals to secure what was a 0-1 loss at 90 minutes…
It does take a true optimist to see defeat in the eye and still manage to salvage hope from it. Such an endeavor may seem foolhardy for a Manchester United supporter and yet positives can be salvaged even in such situations. Here are the three possible positives to take away from what has not only…
Manchester United set an unwanted record as Crystal Palace defeated them 0-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday. A smashing strike from Joachim Anderson in the first half was enough to seal the traveling side all three points from the fixture. Erik ten Hag’s men now sit in the 10th position, this being their worst start…
With back-to-back wins over Burnley and Crystal Palace, Erik ten Hag seems to have somewhat steadied the ship at Manchester United amid dealing with several off-the-pitch issues. Ever since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, the lack of control over the dressing room has been one of the big reasons behind the departure of many of his…
Manchester United were able to get back to winning ways at last with a slim 1-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday. The Red Devils desperately needed to secure all three points after a rather disappointing September and were gifted them by Bruno Fernandes’ impressive volley in the first half. Here’s how the players fared on…
Erik ten Hag’s ruthless approach during his early days at Old Trafford led to a lot of encouraging results and appreciation from fans.

The erstwhile gloomy and ever-raining clouds of Manchester were clear on this Saturday night, but despair rained on the pitch nevertheless. The Red Devils were deftly defeated 1-3 by Brighton and Hove Albion, with little love in the air for Erik ten Hag and his men. Goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Grob, and Joao Pedro…
Manchester United find themselves in a tricky situation after mutually agreeing to delay Antony’s return to the club after the international break.

Axel Tuanzebe’s career at Manchester United started under former Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho, who handed him an appearance against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup in January 2017. Now the product of the club’s famed academy has joined Ipswich Town on a free transfer. He reunites with another former United coach, Kieran McKenna, at…
The ongoing international break has allowed every normal top European club to take a breather post a busy transfer window. However, Manchester United isn’t your typical club (when has it ever been?). The Red Devils are dealing with not one but two controversies. Their star winger Antony is facing allegations of assault, leading to pressure…
Manchester United’s active transfer window has meant that quite a few familiar faces have left the side even as fresh names and numbers now dot the club’s roster. As a result, though, the fans have not fully gotten a taste of all that these incoming talents have to offer. Mason Mount’s injury cut short his…
Manchester United were one of the busiest clubs in the Premier League in the final 48 hours of the summer transfer window, as they scrambled to get multiple deals over the lines. Altay Bayindir, Sergio Reguilon, and Sofyan Amrabat all moved to Old Trafford late in the window. Even Jonny Evans’ arrival on a short-term…
Manchester United returned from North London empty-handed yet again, as two stoppage-time goals from Arsenal overshadowed Marcus Rashford’s opener. Arsenal took all three points but the 3-1 scoreline certainly flattered them. Up until Declan Rice’s 96th-minute goal from a set piece which was then followed by Gabriel Jesus’s strike in 101th minute, the game was…
Manchester United made three major signings early in the window, bringing in Mason Mount, Andre Onana, and Rasmus Hojlund for a combined fee of around £165 million. However, their transfer activity seemingly stalled despite obvious gaps in Erik ten Hag’s squad. The last few weeks have seen the club’s recruitment team attempt to raise funds…

As per Santi Aouna, the Ligue 1 outfit are now facing a challenging task of convincing the Dutchman to pick their project. It’s claimed the 26-year-old has several offers on the table and…
Manchester United celebrated a hard-fought comeback win against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, but their first-half performance showed there’s a long way to go before Erik ten Hag’s men could start hoping to celebrate big titles. United again struggled in transition as Nottingham Forest found it very easy to go from one end to another against…
Luke Shaw’s start to the new season has suffered a jolt with the England international set to spend several weeks on the sidelines through a muscular injury. Tyrell Malacia is also not available because of an unspecified injury and missed the pre-season action. Álvaro Fernández is the only natural left-back at Erik ten Hag’s disposal…
Comebacks are usually the stuff of dreams and at Manchester United they are something of a cult presence. Despite that, Saturday’s 3-2 comeback against Nottingham Forest after going 0-2 down does feel like the solution to a problem brought about through one’s own machinations rather than a legitimate overcoming of any crisis. Here’s how the…
Manchester United’s summer window appears to have taken a little bit of a lull after a rather promising initial period. The side showed great caliber in acquiring the likes of Mason Mount and Andre Onana but ever since the successful acquisition of Rasmus Hojlund, the focus has shifted more towards departures, particularly that of young…
Manchester United have agreed to loan Brandon Williams to Ipswich Town for the 2023/24 season, handing him an opportunity to link up with Kieran McKenna. The English coach was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s assistant during Williams’ breakthrough 2019/20 campaign. He left the club following the Norwegian’s sacking and has since done tremendously well at Portman Road.…
More than one Manchester United fan expected Harry Maguire to no longer be a part of the squad this summer. The writing has been on the wall for some time. The summer confirmed a decision which has been in the works arguably from last season itself with the English defender being stripped off his captaincy…
Manchester United’s performance against Tottenham Hotspur suggested Erik ten Hag can do with another signing or two before the close of the transfer window, as the Red Devils lacked teeth upfront and stability in the middle of the park. There’s little to suggest United would add another forward to their ranks, though things could change…
Manchester United’s attempts to offload Harry Maguire have stalled and unless there’s a late twist, the Englishman is likely to continue at Old Trafford. However, there are still several other outcasts who could depart Old Trafford before the close of the transfer window. Erik ten Hag is only going to let go of Maguire after…
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. The visitors actually were the better side for much of the game, and if not for their forward’s indecisiveness and Andre Onana’s brilliance, Wolves would’ve at least…
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…
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. 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 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. 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…
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…
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.
