Jan Vertonghen thinks Pochettino could be interested in joining Manchester United
Former Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen has claimed that Mauricio Pochettino will be impatient about getting back to management again. The Argentine manager has been out of work for a while now and the Belgian defender reckons that he might be keen on returning to the Premier League if the top clubs come calling. Jan Vertonghen added that there are probably two or three clubs that can convince Pochettino to return to the Premier League and it will be interesting to see where the Argentine ends up. He said to Mirror: “I think the English league suits him very well as he’s a manager that prioritises fitness levels and the physicality of the game. “I think managing in the Premier League is probably the best thing he can do. “He will always want to coach a big team I guess, so you have t...
Manchester United vs Arsenal Predicted Line-ups, TV Channel, Live Stream
Manchester United vs ArsenalPremier League 2020/211st November, 16:30 pm BSTOld Trafford, ManchesterLive Stream: BT Sport Manchester United host Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday and they will be hoping to pick up a morale-boosting win over the Gunners. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team have started the season in poor form and they will be under pressure to pick up all three points here. Manchester United have picked up just seven points from five League games and that is simply not good enough for a club of their stature. The Red Devils should be challenging for the Premier League title and other Cup competitions every year but they have been underwhelming for a while now. After the backing they have received in the transfer market over the years, Manchester United should be challenging f...
Manchester United’s Luke Shaw set to end England exile
Getty Images Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw is set for an England recall next week. Shaw hasn’t been included in a Three Lions squad since September 2018. And despite emerging as a regular at Old Trafford during that time, he has struggled to persuade Gareth Southgate that he should be England’s first choice. But Southgate was much criticised for using Kieran Trippier at left wing-back last month, although he also handed Arsenal teenager Bukayo Saka his bow in the same position. Now Shaw, reports the Daily Star, will join Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell – back fit and Southgate’s first choice – in the squad for the international friendly with the Republic of Ireland and UEFA Nations League clashes with Belgium and Iceland, when it’s announced on Thursday. Shaw has won just eight caps s...
Manchester United defender Alex Telles tests positive for coronavirus
Manchester United defender Alex Telles has tested positive for coronavirus, and he will now self-isolate, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed. Telles, who joined in the summer transfer window from Portuguese club Porto for a reported fee of £15.4m, will now miss Manchester United’s clash against Arsenal on Sunday. The 27-year-old is yet to make a Premier League appearance for the club. The Brazilian made a superb debut during United’s 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. However, he was surprisingly omitted from the squad against Chelsea with Luke Shaw playing instead of him during United’s 0-0 draw in the Premier League. He was also not part of the matchday squad for United’s emphatic 5-0 Champions League win over RB Leipzig, with fans speculating that he may h...
Manchester United keen on Hakan Calhanoglu
Manchester United have been linked with a move for the AC Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu. The 26-year-old Turkish midfielder has done well in Italy and it seems that the Premier League side are willing to bring him to England. As per Gazzetta, Manchester United are preparing a five year deal for the set-piece expert and it will be interesting to see if they can agree on a deal with the Italian club now. Calhanoglu is a technically gifted player who will add a new dimension to Manchester United midfield. The Turkish midfielder is lethal from set-pieces and it will be interesting to see what kind of impact he makes if the move to Old Trafford goes through. Manchester United could definitely use more creativity in their side but they are well-stocked in midfield and it remains to be seen h...
Manchester United, Juventus and Barcelona keen on Ryan Gravenberch
Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has been linked with a move to Manchester United. According to Daily Mirror, the 18-year-old midfielder is a target for Barcelona and Juventus as well. It will be interesting to see where Gravenberch ends up in the coming months. He’s a prodigious young talent who has already played 19 times for the Dutch outfit this season. Gravenberch has four goals and three assists to his name and he has been likened to the Manchester United star Paul Pogba because of his playing style. The technically gifted youngster can play in an advanced role as well as a deeper one. The 18-year-old needs to join a club where he can play regularly and Manchester United might not be able to provide him with that platform. Solskjaer’s team have plenty of options in the midfield and t...
Opinion: Upamecano would be a superb signing for Manchester United
RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano has been linked with a move to the Premier League recently and Manchester United have apparently joined the race. It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils come forward with an offer for the 22-year-old when the transfer window reopens in January. Upamecano is one of the most talented young defenders in Europe right now and he would be a superb addition to Solskjaer’s defensive unit. Manchester United are in desperate need of another quality centre back who is good enough to start for them on a regular basis. Harry Maguire has been quite mediocre this season and Manchester United cannot afford to rely on Tuanzebe for the whole season. Lindelof and Upamecano could prove to be a good partnership in theory. The French defender is calm and composed on ...
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer promises key Man Utd role for Donny van de Beek
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has claimed that summer signing Donny van de Beek will have an important role to play at the club. He said to Sky Sports: “Donny is going to play a big, big part this year. At the moment, I realise the topic is Donny van de Beek, it’s nice for some players or commentators to have a little go. I know you’re short for time on TV and have to put your point across quickly, but you have to know you don’t have to start the first three games to be a very important member of the squad. “I would be disappointed if some of my team-mates said I wasn’t important at United. I didn’t start many games. Donny is going to be very important for us, don’t worry about that.” The 23-year-old midfielder has played just 59 minutes of Premier League footbal...
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits to Paul Pogba error
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has surprisingly hinted that he mismanaged Paul Pogba, particularly at the start of this season. The French midfielder was a shadow of himself when the league began but was handed minutes nonetheless and so he continued to struggle. In fairness, United were performing poorly overall so Pogba wasn’t the only one who looked out of sorts. However, Solskjaer would soon exclude him from the starting XI and use him as an impact substitute, which he did remarkably well. Pogba’s lack of form was put down to a lack of a pre-season but perhaps fans have been a little dismissive that he also had to recover from Covid-19. According to the club’s official website, Solskjaer said: “You see, when you have got good players, it is a nice challenge and a nice deci...
Analysis: Manchester United disappoint in goalless draw with Chelsea
Manchester: Manchester United and Chelsea played out a drab 0-0 draw in dire conditions at Old Trafford on Saturday. The rain lashed onto the pitch as neither side was able to breach the other’s defences. The draw meant that United have now failed to win any of their first three home games into a new league campaign for the first time since the 1972-73 season. Chelsea will perhaps return home happier with a point secured away from home but Frank Lampard’s expensively assembled attack have their work cut out to prove that they can indeed challenge for the title this season. Line Ups United: De Gea; Wan Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Mata, Fernandes, James; Rashford Subs: Henderson, Tuanzebe, Pogba, Matic, Van de Beek, Cavani, Greenwood United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer...
Marcus Rashford launches petition calling on UK government to take more action on child hunger
Reuters Marcus Rashford has launched an online petition calling on the United Kingdom government to provide free school meals for more children. In June, the Manchester United striker successfully lobbied the government to extend its policy of providing free school meals for underprivileged children into the summer months through the school holidays. The 22-year-old also partnered with FareShare and helped to raise £20million to help provide free meals to those in need amid the coronavirus pandemic, while he has since worked with supermarkets and food brands to create a taskforce with the aim of tackling child food poverty. Rashford’s work in helping to tackle child hunger led to the England international being awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, after which he vowed to continu...
Report: Manchester United keen on Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore
According to Calciomercato (via Sport), Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore in on the radar of Manchester United, but they face competition from his former side Barcelona and some European bigwigs. The Spain international is a graduate of the famous La Masia academy, but he couldn’t make the grade at the club, leaving to join Aston Villa in 2015. Traore struggled to impress at Villa Park, moving to Middlesbrough after a season before joining Wolves in the summer of 2018 for £22 million. The 24-year-old has become a force to reckon with at Molineux, scoring four goals and weighing in with nine assists in 37 Premier League appearances last term. His pace and dribbling abilities continue to terrorize defences, earning him a call-up to the Spain national team as a result and also attra...
