Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing the Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips at the end of this season. According to an exclusive from Daily Star, the Premier League giants have moved on from Declan Rice because of West Ham United’s asking price and they are now focused on signing his England teammate instead. Apparently, Rice is valued at £90 million and the Old Trafford hierarchy are not convinced that he is worth that much. Phillips has been excellent for Leeds since their promotion to the Premier League and the 25-year-old has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the country. The Leeds star was exceptional for his country during the European Championships earlier this summer and there is no doubt that he has the quality to play for a clu...
Manchester United have been dealt a massive injury blow ahead of their Champions League clash against Villarreal. According to the Athletic, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that defender Harry Maguire is sidelined with a calf injury. However, Luke Shaw could return. The 28-year-old has been a key player for the Red Devils since his big-money move from Leicester City and his absence will leave Manchester United vulnerable at the back. The Premier League giants signed Raphael Varane in the summer and the Frenchman is likely to lead the defensive unit in the absence of the England international. It will be interesting to see whether the French international partners Victor Lindelof or Eric Bailly at the back tomorrow. It is unlikely that Phil Jones will be given an opportunity...
Gary Neville has picked his best Manchester United XI, and he has included his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in the line-up. However, the popular Sky Sports pundit has omitted big-money summer signing Jadon Sancho who has failed to find his Midas touch since joining the Old Trafford club from Borussia Dortmund. Sancho joined United this summer in a deal worth £73 million. He was United’s first-choice target over the past couple of seasons, but so far the Englishman has struggled to find his feet at his new club. United also signed two more players – Ronaldo and Raphael Varane – this summer and both the players have made Neville’s preferred team. The Red Devils are expected to mount a strong title challenge this season, but a recent dip form has caused some concern regarding O...
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes missed a crucial penalty against Aston Villa at the weekend as the Red Devils were beaten at Old Trafford. The Portuguese international had the opportunity to level the score right at the end of the game but he ended up skying his spot-kick. Fernandes is usually lethal from the penalty spot and he has chipped in with several crucial strikes since joining the club from Sporting Lisbon. However, the 27-year-old let his side down at the weekend and Fernandes sent out an apology to the fans on social media after the game. No excuses for my penalty miss today. I’m my biggest critic but as always I’ll use it to drive me forward. More than my disappointment though, the team’s loss today is the most important. I’ll be ready next time. pic.twitter.com/tT...
Cristiano Ronaldo made a stunning second debut at Manchester United as he scored two goals in his first match against Newcastle United at Old Trafford. The 36-year-old was also on the scoresheet in United’s subsequent matches against Young Boys and West Ham. However, now his run of scoring in three consecutive matches has come to an end as United suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa on Saturday. Reacting to the loss, the Portuguese star took to social media and posted the following message to the Red Devils’ fans. He wrote on Instagram: “This is only the beginning, but in a competition as strong as the Premier League, every point counts! We must react immediately, get back on our feet and show our true strength.” In Saturday’s match at...
Manchester United suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa at Old Trafford after Bruno Fernandes failed to convert his spot-kick in injury time. The match looked to be heading for a draw after both teams failed to score a goal until the 88th minute.

However, in a dramatic twist of events, the former Birmingham City player then gave away a penalty by handling Edinson Cavani’s header in extra time. The Red Devils had a brilliant opportunity to salvage a point but Fernandes blazed woefully over the target to hand the visitors three points. With this defeat, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have now slipped to fourth in the Premier League t...

Manchester United have identified Tanguy Ndombele and Franck Kessie as possible replacements for Paul Pogba, according to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato. Pogba rejoined Man Utd back in 2016 for a then-world record fee of around £89 million. Since then, he has made 205 appearances in all competitions, helping the club to a League Cup and a Europa League. The Frenchman has been something of a divisive figure at Old Trafford since his return. He is undeniably talented, and can be a match-winner on his day. However, his attitude and commitment has come under question. Agent Mino Raiola has often suggested to the media that his client would prefer to be elsewhere. The 28-year-old has under one year remaining on his current contract. Recent reports suggested that he is leaning towards ...
