4+ hour, 17+ min ago (380+ words) Manchester United's hunt for a midfielder might take them to the Bundesliga if the latest reports are to be believed. Casemiro's legs do not work like they used to, and with his contract up in the summer, rumours are rife that he could be moved on. Ruben Amorim has publicly criticised Manuel Ugarte, while Kobbie Mainoo is struggling to impress. It is clear that the Red Devils need reinforcements in the middle of the park. RB Leipzig's Assan Ouedraogo has been a long-term target for the Red Devils, and as reported by Sky Germany, INEOS are eyeing a summer move for the German. Only 19, the Leipzig No.20 can play all across the midfield, even out wide and up top if needed, which shows his immense versatility. That makes him a great fit for Ruben Amorim's style. This will be his…...

1+ hour, 55+ min ago (366+ words) Manchester United's lack of quality in midfield helped 10-man Everton keep a match-winning clean sheet at Old Trafford. Everton found themselves a man down inside 15 minutes. However, David Moyes still managed to secure his first win against United in Manchester by nullifying Ruben Amorim's Plan A. The Portuguese tactician's side rely on their wide progression to enter the final third. Rather than playing short passes between the lines against the outnumbered Everton midfield, the Red Devils continued to launch hopeful crosses into a packed penalty area. The first-choice midfield pairing of Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro rarely show composure in possession and dictate the tempo of the game. Kobbie Mainoo is the only midfielder at the club who doesn't treat the ball like a hot potato, but Amorim doesn't trust the Englishman's defensive prowess. Mainoo, who reportedly wants to leave United in…...

23+ hour, 19+ min ago (328+ words) Manchester United are making steady progress in their bid to strengthen their midfield." Over the summer, United gauged the likelihood of signing Carlos Baleba from Brighton & Hove Albion. The approach seemed like the ground work for a 2026 move, as Ineos never lodged a formal offer. However, they did manage to find an agreement over personal terms with the Cameroonian." Ahead of the winter transfer window, United have convinced another Premier League midfielder to move to Old Trafford. According to TEAMtalk, Joao Gomes has had his "head turned" by United's interest." Wolves remain reluctant to part ways with the tenacious midfielder, who continues to impress in the middle of the park despite his side's struggles." The figures at Molineux have made it clear that Gomes is "absolutely not for sale" as Rob Edwards's side sit in 20th place in the Premier League....

11+ hour, 27+ min ago (338+ words) Manchester United's recent resurgence came to a juddering halt in unlikely circumstances as ten-man Everton grabbed a rare victory at Old Trafford. Idrissa Gueye was sent off early on in bizarre circumstances after slapping team mate and former United man Michael Keane. It should have teed the hosts up for a victory to take them into fifth place, but instead they shipped a goal and were utterly toothless in their search for an equaliser. Speaking to BBC Sport after the game, a furious Ruben Amorim slammed his side's efforts. "They were the better team with 11 players and ten. I felt we were not there with the same intensity, they deserved the win," he said. The head coach continued: "The other team helped us with the sending off. We need to do [more] in every moment. If they have ten let's…...

11+ hour, 49+ min ago (364+ words) Manchester United suffered a night to forget when they lost 1-0 to Everton at home. While losing at Old Trafford is embarrassing enough, what made this defeat even more bitter was the fact that the visitors were a man down since the 13th minute, thanks to a red card, meaning that Man United completely failed to make the most of their numerical advantage. Statistically, it was one-way traffic, with United taking a massive 25 shots compared to just three from Everton. Still, they seemed unable to show any effectiveness up front, with one player in particular struggling in this regard. A night to forget This was a crucial match for Joshua Zirkzee, who was starting a match for the first time this season. Although he was in desperate need of a decent performance in order to gain Ruben Amorim's favour, he failed to…...

17+ hour, 47+ min ago (457+ words) Louis van Gaal spent two years as Manchester United manager, memorably winning the FA Cup in 2016 then being sacked two days later. While in the hot seat, the Dutchman sought to find a strong midfield as established stars like Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher called time on their illustrious Old Trafford careers. After taking over from David Moyes and inheriting Marouane Fellaini, Van Gaal was immediately handed Ander Herrera and took United to a fourth-place Premier League finish. The following summer there was a flurry of midfield movement in Manchester, as the Red Devils swooped for Morgan Schneiderlin from Southampton. United also signed Bayern Munich legend Bastian Schweinsteiger in what seemed like a coup but was ultimately a misjudged move for a player in decline. As normal, the club were linked with many others, including Lucas Biglia who was impressing…...

12+ hour, 22+ min ago (253+ words) Manchester United suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of 10-man Everton. Here are our player ratings from the game. Senne Lammens 5 " Didn't cover himself in glory for the goal. Should have got a strong hand to it. Leny Yoro 3 " Another who should have done better for the goal. Just didn't commit to the challenge on Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Matthijs de Ligt 5 " Caught out on a few occasions. Luke Shaw 6 " An OK performance. Noussair Mazraoui 5 " Didn't offer nearly enough in terms of attacking play in the right-wing-back position. United missed the dynamism that Amad usually brings in this role. Patrick Dorgu 3 " Poor. Missed a good chance to draw United level. Missed passes and loose touches that saw United lose momentum. Casemiro 5 " Didn't command the midfield to the extent he usually does. Bruno Fernandes 6 " Tried to make things happen for United, stringing passes…...

11+ hour, 17+ min ago (329+ words) Manchester United regressed to the bad old days with a 1-0 defeat at home to ten-man Everton. After Idriss Gueye was sent off for an altercation with a team mate it looked like United were perfectly placed to extend their unbeaten run, but instead flopped to a disheartening loss. It was poor performance across the board, with the likes of Joshua Zirkzee failing to seize the initiative. But starting in a more attacking role Amad was his side's brightest spark, even if his trickery ultimately came to nothing. The Ivorian started as one of the 10s instead of his more usual wing-back position and showed glimpses of the flair he exhibited when he burst onto the scene last season. Amad contested the most duels of any United player, going toe to toe with his man 16 times, and was successful on nine occasions....

13+ hour, 47+ min ago (469+ words) Manchester United have been vindicated by their decision to sign Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp this summer to address their goalkeeping concerns. The Red Devils conceded 54 goals in the Premier League last season, and it was no surprise that they finished 15th in the league table. The Premier League giants started the 2025/26 campaign with Altay Bayindir as their new No. 1, with Andre Onana relegated to the bench. Following Lammens" arrival on deadline day, the Cameroonian was loaned to Trabzonspor for the rest of the season. While the Turkey international initially continued between the sticks, the Belgian was handed his first start last month and hasn"t looked back since. Lammens is highly rated for his shot-stopping skills and in his debut against Sunderland, helped register the first clean sheet of United"s season. The 23 year old has started the last five…...

In a bizarre twist, Idrissa Gueye was dismissed for striking his own teammate, Michael Keane, in the face in the 13th minute following a confrontation over a misplaced pass. The visitors had begun the game far brighter than United " a point Ruben Amorim lamented in his post-match analysis " but the red card gave a lifeline to the Red Devils to reclaim control over the match. It was one they failed to capitalise on, however, with Everton outplaying their opponents for the remainder of the first half, taking the lead through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the 29th minute. United were unable adapt to the unexpected one-man advantage for the remainder of…...
