Amorim spoke often enough last season about United’s failure to make the most of their opportunities. They need to score much more than the paltry 44 league goals they managed last season. Mbeumo’s arrival should help address that shortfall but, as with Cunha, the Cameroon forward will offer more than that. He has the power...
Manchester United have submitted an improved bid of more than £60m for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo. This month United had a bid rejected for the 25-year-old of £45m plus up to £10m in add-ons. Talks over the Cameroon forward, who would become the club’s second signing of the summer, are due to continue this week....
But Berrada knows where the major external focus will be, in particular on coach Ruben Amorim, who had such a tortuous introduction to life at United following his arrival from Sporting in November. Berrada joined United after working as chief football operations officer at City Football Group. And he can see similarities between Amorim and...
Brazil forward Matheus Cunha said his “dream” had become a reality after completing a £63m move to Manchester United. United activated a release clause in Cunha’s Wolves contract this month. The deal, which was subject to a visa and a medical, has now been completed. Cunha has signed a five-year contract, with the option of...
On the face of it, deals for former Atletic Madrid player Cunha and potentially Mbeumo would total over £100m and eat into a significant chunk of United’s summer budget before sales. However, accounting practices mean that is not actually the case. “When you bring in a new player you would normally put them on a...
Chelsea have opted not to sign winger Jadon Sancho on a permanent basis and will instead pay a £5m penalty to send the player back to Manchester United. The England forward moved to Stamford Bridge on loan last summer after his relationship with former United manager Erik ten Hag broke down. United, who signed Sancho...
Nigeria boss Eric Chelle expects Europe’s top sides to show interest in Victor Osimhen after the striker helped fire Galatasaray to the Turkish title. The 26-year-old is set to return to parent club Napoli after scoring 37 goals in 41 games during this season’s loan spell with the Istanbul giants. He has one year remaining...
But the important thing about the Brazilian’s ball-carrying ability is how deep he likes to drop to get possession. That opens up possibilities for his new club. United’s central midfield are frequently suffocated by the press, forcing them to pass it backwards to the back three. The job of both of the number 10s on...
Manchester United confirm a deal to sign Brazil and Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. Read full article at source...
United estimate they will generate around £10m from their 14,000-mile, six-day expedition. The payment is not connected to ticket sales, so it is guaranteed. At a time when their focus in pre-season – both commercially and from a player preparation perspective – is on the United States, where they will go for the third successive...
Boss Ruben Amorim “has a feeling” captain Bruno Fernandes wants to stay at Manchester United, despite reports that he is giving serious consideration to a lucrative offer to join Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.

A second-half goal from Myanmar winger Maung Maung Lwin was enough to give a South East Asia XI victory in front of an official attendance of 72,550 at the Bukit Jalil Stadium, triggering boos from a substantial portion at the final whistle from fans who had paid up to £260 to watch United on their...
While Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham are all planning for next season’s Champions League, United are unable to offer new recruits any European football – let alone a place in Europe’s premier club competition. Indeed, it is now more than three years since United last played a Champions League knockout tie. Despite...
Naples is a one-club city, yet with only a handful of pockets of real success in their history. They really idolise their heroes, most notably Maradona – who was part of their first two title wins – and whom their stadium is now named after. McTominay will never reach those levels – nobody could –...
United had about 1,100 employees before the first wave of cuts last year. About 250 employees were made redundant during the first round of redundancies, saving the club between £8m and £10m. United chief executive Omar Berrada said earlier this year that between 150 and 200 redundancies were set to follow. Defeat in Bilbao means...
