Benjamin Sesko’s role at Manchester United is back in the spotlight after his agent, Elvis Basanovic, made it clear that he is not happy with a certain label being attached to the striker in England.The discussion has only intensified since United’s 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, when the Slovenian international was once again named among the substitutes rather than in the starting line-up.The 22-year-old came on after the break but could not add to his goal tally, and thus he current
There are clear reasons why Manchester United could look to strengthen their central defence this summer.Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans both left last summer, and the club never replaced them, a decision that has since come back to haunt United. Injuries have ruthlessly plagued Manchester United’s defensive line throughout the campaign.Matthijs de Ligt has missed the last four months due to a back injury, Lisandro Martinez has struggled to maintain fitness, and Harry Maguire also initiall

Manchester United have reportedly made a major decision amidst the possibility of Marcus Rashford returning to the club at the end of the season.Uncertain Barcelona moveRashford has done well in Barcelona since joining the club last summer on a season-long loan deal. He has netted an impressive 10 goals in 39 appearances for the reigning La Liga champions.Barcelona retain the option to make his stay permanent for £25.9m, but they have yet to clearly indicate whether they will take it up. The Bla
Some attribute Manchester United’s rise up the table under Michael Carrick’s leadership to the formation change from Ruben Amorim’s era and while that’s not the only thing that made a difference, it certainly helped.So why not do it again? It might be playing with fire here – after all, we all know the expression “if it aint broke, don’t fix it” – but there is a logical argument for another tweak.United have settled after their strong start with Carrick – they
A new major development has emerged regarding the possibility of Roberto De Zerbi becoming the next permanent head coach of Manchester United.De Zerbi interestDespite the success that caretaker boss Michael Carrick has enjoyed since he replaced Ruben Amorim in December last year, there are no guarantees that he will be handed the job on a permanent basis.Carrick has taken charge of 10 games, winning seven, drawing two and losing just one.At present, the Red Devils lie in third place in the Premi

Bruno Fernandes has become a cornerstone of yet another Manchester United manager’s system.Fernandes was inarguably Ruben Amorim’s most reliable player, impressing as a box-to-box midfielder. Under Michael Carrick, the Portuguese maestro has returned to his preferred number 10 role and is now chasing the Premier League record for most assists in a season. United are searching for a permanent manager ahead of next season and it is far from guaranteed that their captain would want to b

Benjamin Sesko’s recent form has highlighted why Manchester United spent a small fortune on his signature last summer. The Red Devils were looking for an upgrade on Rasmus Hojlund, who had endured a poor 2024/25 campaign.The Premier League giants saw off stiff competition to win the race for the Slovenian’s signature, while the Dane ended up joining Napoli on a season-long loan with a purchase obligation. However, Sesko endured a slow start to life at the Theatre of Dreams, managing just two goa

Who can still book a place?
By the end of last season, it was obvious which positions Manchester United needed to strengthen. A move for the perfect number ten for head coach Ruben Amorim’s project sat at the top of the transfer agenda at M16.One player widely seen as ideal for that role was Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Matheus Cunha. Cunha enjoyed a revolutionary 2024–25 season, bossing the Premier League with his ability to unlock even the tightest defences.He was a joy to watch, delivering spirited performances
