According to his debut against Atletico Madrid at the Ullevaal Stadion, Christian Eriksen is destined to be much more than a squad player at Manchester United says Scott McTominay Danny Murphy made that prediction earlier this month when United revealed Eriksen would join them as a free agent. The Dane may have been free, but it has nothing to do with his ability. United has long admired the Dane and didn’t hesitate to sign him this summer after his strong second half of the season at Brentford demonstrated that he has fully recovered from his cardiac arrest at the European…

Erik ten Hag has confirmed that the players that started against Atletico will be unavailable for Sunday’s encounter, which includes David De Gea, Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Tyrell Malacia, Fred, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Elanga, and Anthony Martial.

There will be additional players in the group, including some who traveled to Thailand and Australia, as well as some younger players. Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to join the group and play at Old…
The starting lineup for Manchester United will be very different from that of Saturday. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says his starting XI against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday would be very different from the one that faced Atletico Madrid. On Saturday, the Dutchman suffered his first defeat as United manager, with Joao Felix scoring late on, just before Fred was sent off. Many feel that, with the exception of Jadon Sancho and Luke Shaw, the players that started in Norway will form his first-choice lineup. That is if Cristiano Ronaldo is not still at the club…
For the first time this summer, images of Cristiano Ronaldo returning to Manchester United training have surfaced. On his Instagram page, Ronaldo posted a shot from Carrington with the remark, “Working in progress.” Ronaldo was with United youngsters Charlie McNeill, Amad, Charlie Savage, and Hannibal. He is part of the group preparing for Manchester United’s friendly on Sunday at Old Trafford against Rayo Vallecano. Ronaldo had declared on Friday that he would be available for selection to face Rayo, his first pre-season game of the summer. United face Atletico Madrid in Norway on Saturday, losing 1-0. We took a look at five…
Man United lost 1-0 to Atletico Madrid in their final pre-season friendly before the start of the new Premier League season, and here are the player ratings. David de Gea Not many saves to make but played out from the back well. Excellent awareness to rush off his line and deny Matheus Cunha a chance at goal. Little chance with the goal. 6 Diogo Dalot Didn’t see much of the ball but defended well and coped with the high intensity. Offered a threat going forward but showed Joao Felix too much space for the goal. 5 Harry Maguire Subdued…
After losing to Atletico Madrid 1-0 on Saturday, Manchester United’s unblemished preseason streak came to an end in Oslo. In their penultimate friendly, Erik ten Hag’s team had the upper hand for significant stretches of the game but were defeated by a late Joao Felix goal. Early on, despite Atletico’s aggressive pushing, Man Utd had the first opportunity when Tyrell Malacia evaded Marcos Llorente’s attempts to find Bruno Fernandes, who then set Marcus Rashford free. However, Rashford’s close-range drive was well stopped by Jan Oblak. Anthony Martial should have broken the deadlock moments later when Jose Maria Gimenez misjudged a…
Saka started the early blitz from the penalty spot after being pushed over by Karim Rekik, with Jesus then firing in from close range after combining with Granit Xhaka down the left-hand flank. The red-hot Jesus then netted his second goal in 60 seconds, sliding in at the back post after being picked out by electric compatriot Gabriel Martinelli. As impressive Arsenal defeated Sevilla 6-0 to win the Emirates Cup and raise anticipation and excitement for the upcoming Premier League season, Gabriel Jesus scored a hat-trick in his home debut. The £45 million summer acquisition from Manchester City, the Gunners’…
Manchester United and Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz are currently in negotiations for a summer transfer. According to a report from Calcio Napoli 24, Ruiz has signed a deal with Manchester United, and Napoli is “irritated” with the Spaniard since they think he wants to leave Naples. We covered reports from Italy a few days ago claiming that United had put in some phone calls to Ruiz’s agent. And it now seems as though the Red Devils have expedited their interest in signing the 15-capped Spain international. He is valued at around €45 million (£38 million) by Napoli according to Calcio Mercato,…
Today’s Emirates Cup match between Arsenal and Sevilla is their final preseason match before the regular season begins next week. Although Mikel Arteta’s team has looked strong all summer, they lost their unbeaten streak in a midweek match against Brentford that took place behind closed doors. Obviously, it’s challenging to place too much weight on non-competitive games, but there’s little doubt that the 4-0 thrashing of Chelsea was thrilling for a bunch of fans who have watched their club make significant purchases once again this summer. All of Kieran Tierney, Emile Smith Rowe, and Takehiro Tomiyasu has been involved…
In less than a week, the new Premier League season will get underway, and Manchester United still needs to bolster its attack and midfield. In terms of the offensive, Antony, a Brazilian international who is also on Liverpool’s radar, is the player most frequently mentioned (FI). According to Goal.com, Man United has now submitted an offer worth more than 60 million euros (£50.3million+) to hire the services of Antony. However, the news source has mentioned that Ajax is playing hardball and are not prepared to offload their prized asset for a fee of fewer than 80 million euros. The Dutch giants…
