Predicted Manchester United XI vs Brighton: Solskajer to make eight changes, 24 y/o to start
Manchester United will face Brighton in the Premier League clash on Tuesday evening. The Red Devils are heading into the match with a 2-1 victory over Norwich City in the FA Cup during the weekend.

Report: Manchester United edge closer to signing £80m star
A lot of Manchester United’s transfer activity during the summer will depend upon where they will end up at the end of the season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted that he will not buy ‘rotten apples’, but at the same time has insisted that he is unsure of what the budget would be like. United have been linked with players like Jadon Sancho or Kai Havertz, and those types of players could easily be attracted to Old Trafford if United secure a place in the Champions League next season. However, Jack Grealish is a gettable target. With Aston Villa teetering on the verge of relegation, Grealish would be aiming to move away from Villa Park. According to reports from The Express, Grealish has told his friends that he would be leaving the club. In fact, he is already finding a house to buy in the...

‘He’s a class act’ – Richard Keys leaps to the defence of £375k-a-wk United star
Manchester United secured a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur last Friday but they should have left North London with all three points as they were the better side. The Red Devils had more possession (61%), shots (12) and shots on target (6) than the host, and were unlucky to have gone behind in the first-half. David de Gea failed to properly deal with Steven Bergwijn’s shot and has since come in for criticism. United legends Roy Keane and Gary Neville were left fuming with the Spaniard’s error, and some fans want Sheffield United loanee Dean Henderson to be recalled to Old Trafford and handed the number 1 spot next season. Nevertheless, Red Devils manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer maintains that de Gea is the best goalkeeper on the planet, and beIN Sports’ Senior Football Anchor and former Sk...

Ederson credits Pep Guardiola with improving his game
Ederson has credited Pep Guardiola with making him a better goalkeeper and says the Manchester City boss “sees football in another way” to others. Brazil international Ederson has spent three seasons working under the Catalan coach, playing a key part in two Premier League title successes and four domestic cup triumphs. The 26-year-old is well known for his ability to command the box and start attacks from deep, but he was at fault for both goals in March’s derby defeat to Manchester United. However, Ederson insists that taking risks is something that is expected of him under Guardiola, who he credits for taking his game to the next level. “The role of a goalkeeper in Pep’s team is like the 11th outfield player on the pitch, in terms of the build-up, the pressing,” he told Sky Sports. “I t...
