MEN provide postive Anthony Martial update in boost for Manchester United
The Manchester Evening News have provided a positive injury update on Manchester United forward Anthony Martial, following his injury in March. The Frenchman was expected to be out for the rest of the season, with Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admitting earlier this month he would be amazed if he was back this campaign. “Anthony has started his recovery and, if we see him before the end of the season, I will be very surprised,” Solskjaer explained to Manchester United’s official website. Despite those comments, the Manchester Evening News have posted an article about a boost for Martial and United. The publication pictured Martial in public on Wednesday, where he was seen ‘moving freely and without a brace on his injured knee’. Martial was also asked about his knee, to which h...
Five star second-half performance puts Man Utd in control of Europa League semi-final tie with Roma
Manchester United will take a commanding 6-2 lead into the second leg of their Europa League semi-final tie against Roma. The Red Devils were 2-1 down at the break, but five unanswered second-half goals put them firmly in the driving seat ahead of next week’s trip to Rome. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made three changes to his side from their 0-0 draw with Leeds United in the Premier League on Sunday. Goalkeeper David De Gea returned in goal, while Paul Pogba and Edinson Cavani also came into the starting XI: United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelöf, Maguire, Shaw, Fred, McTominay, Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba, Cavani. Roma arrived at Old Trafford on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Cagliari in Serie A, which sums up a poor season for the Italian side. Currently seventh in the league and...
David de Gea starts in three key changes, Predicted Manchester United line-up vs Roma
Manchester United will welcome Roma to Old Trafford for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final tie on Thursday night. The Red Devils played out a frustrating 0-0 Premier League draw against Leeds United on the road last weekend. Despite this, they are in a comfortable position in the Champions League race.

They are scheduled to host Roma in the Europa League tomorrow and are favourites for the game with the Serie A outfit on a three-match winless run. This will be the seventh meeting between the sides and the first since 2008. Roma have lost four of those encounters, including their last three trips to Old Trafford. Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-up: Since March, Dean Henderson has emerged as the regular ...

Manchester United talisman Bruno Fernandes has claimed he would be happy to manage the club following his playing career. Fernandes has been a revelation at Old Trafford since joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2020, scoring 36 goals and assisting 22 more in 77 appearances.

Chelsea, Manchester United handed boost in signing £61m-rated star, player open to summer exit
Chelsea and Manchester United have been handed a boost in signing Raphael Varane, who is prepared to leave Real Madrid this summer. The Frenchman has been with Los Blancos for the past decade, registering more than 350 appearances in all competitions for them. His current deal with the club expires in just 14 months, and the hierarchy have yet to convince him to sign an extension. In a recent press conference, Varane said that he is 100 percent committed to the club, but added that his focus is on the end of the season.

‘Happy’, ‘Time will tell’: Some Man United fans react to fresh update on 27-year-old star
Eric Bailly has ended speculation regarding his future by putting pen-to-paper on a fresh three-year contract with the option for another 12 months. The centre-back has been with the Red Devils since 2016 but has made just 100 appearances in all competitions due to multiple injury setbacks. It was recently claimed that Bailly could refuse a new deal with the Red Devils as he does not want to act as the back-up to Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire. However, this has been proved false, with the club confirming that he has signed a new contract until June 2024, which can be extended for another year. Here are a few reactions on Twitter from United fans. I love Bailly but we should’ve sold him — Vats🔰 (@UtdVats) April 26, 2021 I really like Bailly when he’s fit & availa...
Joel Glazer was ‘so upset’ by Ed Woodward’s Manchester United resignation
Manchester United co-owner Joel Glazer was ‘so upset’ by Ed Woodward’s resignation, according to Football Insider. United confirmed last week that Woodward would leave his role as the club’s executive vice-chairman at the end of 2021, with reports claiming it was due to a difference of opinion regarding the European Super League (ESL). However, a Premier League chief executive told Sky Sports that Woodward had been involved in the ESL plans ‘from day one’. While Woodward’s departure was met by celebrations from United fans, Football Insider columnist Kieran Maguire has claimed co-owner Glazer was unhappy with the news. Maguire claims this is because ‘Woodward was perfect for the Glazers’ due to his belief in prioritising commercial success over results on the pitch. The Foot...
‘Excellent’, ‘Best player’: Some Manchester United fans praise 23-year-old’s display vs Leeds United
A selection of Manchester United fans were impressed with Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s performance during the Premier League clash against Leeds United on Sunday. The Red Devils won by a convincing 6-2 scoreline in the reverse meeting at Old Trafford, but it was a dull affair at Elland Road yesterday which ended goalless. Despite this, there were some positives from the display. Wan-Bissaka excelled from the right-back role with another strong defensive performance. The 23-year-old managed one tackle, four interceptions and five clearances. He also won more take-ons (5) than any other United player. Wan-Bissaka also made several overlapping runs, and delivered a key pass for Bruno Fernandes, who dragged his effort wide of the target. Here are some fan reactions on Twitter regarding his display. If ...

Man Utd reportedly eyeing England international who wants to leave Villa this summer
According to The Sun, Manchester United are keeping tabs on Aston Villa goalkeeper Tom Heaton ahead of the summer transfer window. The Red Devils want a quality cover who has the needed experience to give their first-choice goalies a run for their money, and they reckon the Villa star could be perfect for the job. David de Gea and Dean Henderson have both challenged for the starting spot this season, and the Spaniard could look to leave if he is unable to force his way back into manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s XI. Heaton has lost his spot in Dean Smith’s starting line-up to Emiliano Martinez, and the 35-year-old is reportedly looking to leave Villa Park as a result. The England international goalkeeper has not featured for the Villans since January 2020 having been on the sidelines due to a...
