Manchester City have been dealt a huge blow just days before the Manchester derby after Omar Marmoush was spotted in a leg brace and on crutches following a knee injury sustained on international duty. The 25-year-old forward, a January signing who has quickly become a favourite under Pep Guardiola, suffered the problem in Egypt’s World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso on Tuesday.
Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup dreams suffered a major blow as the Super Eagles laboured to a draw against South Africa, leaving fans furious and making 'embarrassing' comparisons to Manchester United’s recent struggles.

Martin Keown has fired back at "deranged" Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel for claiming that Arsenal play "ugly" football under Mikel Arteta.

Ruben Amorim has been warned he may not "make it to Christmas" at Manchester United, with his team still only "one bad performance away from crisis".

Jadon Sancho has been ripped to shreds by Jamie Carragher, who claims the Manchester United outcast doesn't have "much ability".

England legend Wayne Rooney has opened up on the hilariously awkward first encounter between former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal and his wife, Coleen. Rooney was an important figure in the United squad managed by the legendary Dutch manager between 2014 and 2016.

Manchester United have been told that they have hit the jackpot with the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig in a whopping £74 million ($100m) deal, as the Slovenia international can become a "complete striker" at Old Trafford.
