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 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...

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...

An international star has insisted he only had eyes for Inter Milan, despite claims he wanted Manchester United. The man reportedly identified as the Premier League giants’ top defensive target late on last August suggests he had no interest in joining Erik ten Hag‘s side. At least, that is what the World Cup winner himself says. Benjamin Pavard, speaking after becoming a Serie A champion with Inter Milan and enhancing an already remarkable collection of silverware, insists that he only had eyes for a Nerazzuri side who had spent much of the previous few windows chasing his signature, finally ...

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.

So with interest in the le...

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...

It was difficult to know what to make of the claims that Manchester United made an offer of ‘over 100 million euros’ last summer for a striker who had barely made his debut. Especially after Barcelona secured his signature in that very same window, paying an initial £26 million. So, where did that ‘100 million euro’ claim come from? Unfortunately, the agent of Brazilian wonderkid Vitor Roque would not elaborate, beyond insisting that Barcelona fought off competition not only from Manchester United but from fellow Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur. Maybe that ‘100 million euro’ outlay – o...

Manchester United are facing a big summer as Ineos prepare to take charge of a first transfer window at Old Trafford. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and co can’t have been impressed with what they have seen at United since their investment was confirmed back in December. Erik ten Hag has overseen United going backwards this season, going from a top-three finish to potentially missing out on Europe entirely. Monday’s 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace was another example of United’s disappointing campaign and changes are surely coming. Ineos have so far focused on key appointments but big decisions on Ten Hag and...
