Last week, the New York Times declared England’s top flight ‘the world’s most global league’, watched by fans in nearly every country on planet earth and possessing an array of players from an array of backgrounds. If Manchester United succeed in bringing in a man who has done plenty of globetrotting himself – plying his trade in Spain, France and Portugal – the Premier League will become that little bit more diverse. We’ve had players from Benin, Oman, Tanzania and Estonia in England’s first division. Never before has the Premier League been host to a footballer from Mozambique, however. That...

Manchester United’s centre-back department has been torn to shreds this season on and off the pitch, so it’s probably priority number one this summer. Amid what has been a disappointing campaign for Manchester United, centre-back is where the biggest problems have stemmed from. Erik ten Hag has barely been able to field anything resembling his first-choice backline this season with injuries to all his top defenders at one point or another. The extent of this problem can be seen right now as only a half-fit Jonny Evans is available to select as a natural option at the back. This has made the de...

Manchester United’s goalkeeping ranks change enormously last summer but there could be more alterations in the upcoming transfer window. Erik ten Hag clearly wanted to shake up his goalkeeping options but few would have predicted so many moves. David De Gea’s contract wasn’t extended whilst the likes of Jack Butland, Dean Henderson, Nathan Bishop, Matej Kovar and Ondrej Mastny all moved on on. In came Andre Onana, reuniting with his former Ajax boss Ten Hag in a big-money move from Inter Milan. United also snapped up Turkish international Altay Bayinidir from Fenerbahce but he has only made on...

As we approach the summer transfer window, Manchester United’s plans are becoming defined with one player expected to be bid for. With only four games remaining in the 2023-24 season, attention is now shifting to the summer and who Manchester United will sign. In this regard, it’ll be a busy window as Ineos will want to stamp their authority on the squad. This could see a new manager appointed, along with several big names likely on the ‘for sale’ list this summer. But incomings will be just as important and now it’s been reported one target could be the subject of a bid very soon. READ MORE: ...

After a torrid 2023-24 season, change will be afoot this summer for Manchester United. This could even see one signing from last summer replaced. Things haven’t gone as expected this season for Manchester United, as expectations were to at least be in the title conversation for part of the season. After a summer which on paper was strong, it was assumed Erik ten Hag would build on his third-place finish, but rather things have gone horribly wrong. Of the arrivals of Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund, it could be argued none have been a success. Now, reports are suggesting United migh...

Manchester United have fallen behind on so many areas in the Glazer era; the stadium, scouting department, their training ground and basically everything else required in modern football. So it should come as no surprise that, while Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea have made excellent use of the South American market in recent years, the Red Devils‘ pursuit of Aaron Anselmino, Thalys, Franco Mastantuono, Willian Estevao and co feels more like a change in tack brought about by Ineos‘ desire to drag Manchester United into the 21st century. Boca Juniors teenager Anselmino appears to be a leading tar...

One of the worst-kept secrets in European football finally became public knowledge this weekend, one of the many strikers linked with a move to Manchester United seeing his destination announced at last. Everyone knows the Premier League giants want a new centre-forward this summer. One capable of easing the goalscoring burden on the promising-yet-developing Rasmus Hojlund, and adding some much-needed potency to an often wasteful frontline. But will Manchester United go for another high-risk but potentially high-reward option – such as a Vitor Roque or a Benjamin Sesko – or a more experienced ...

Manchester United had scouts watching Porto on Saturday, but who might the eyes have been on during this scouting trip? After Monday’s result, the Premier League season feels to be over, with little left to play for and the team itself looking atrocious, which doesn’t bode well for the FA Cup final. READ MORE: FA Cup Final 2024: Date, Kick-Off Time, TV Channel, Live Stream, Tickets & MoreManchester United were well beaten by Crystal Palace and this made it just one win in seven in the league which is extremely concerning and leaves Erik ten Hag in a tricky situation. So with interest in the le...

Manchester United may need to spend on a new left-sided centre back this summer but a raid on Barcelona is now looking a little difficult. Left-sided centre backs have become crucial to defences throughout the game and United have a top-quality one. Lisandro Martinez is an outstanding defender and possesses ability on the ball that few United defenders can match. The problem is that Martinez has managed just seven Premier League starts this season having endured injury woes. Martinez’s frustrating campaign leaves United in need of another left-footed centre back this summer. Perhaps United wil...

Manchester United are surely in the market for another centre back this summer and few would expect Teden Mengi to be a helping hand for Ineos. Erik ten Hag will be cursing United’s centre back injury list right now. Harry Maguire’s latest problems puts him alongside Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez and Willy Kambwala in a rather crowded treatment room. That left Ten Hag to start with an out-of-position Casemiro and a not-fully-fit Jonny Evans against Crystal Palace. Few would be rushing to see that partnership again following a 4-0 thrashing in South London. United simply ha...
