Manchester United news

Manchester United have been urged to ditch manager Ruben Amorim after yet another dismal defeat at the hands of Brentford on Saturday in the Premier League. United are yet to register back-to-back wins in the Premier League since Amorim took charge of the club in November 2024 and have won just nine out of the 33 matches under the Portuguese boss so far.

Ruben Amorim has once again dismissed suggestions that he is facing the sack at Old Trafford after Manchester United fell to yet another defeat in a woeful performance away at Brentford. The Portuguese coach has picked up this season where he left last campaign as the Red Devils continue to look bereft of ideas. With the club still yet to reach ten league wins under Amorim, time is running out.

Manchester United are weighing up making a £65 million move for Everton centre-half Jarrad Branthwaite in a bid to shore up their leaky defence. The Red Devils have been linked with a move for the English defender before, but were unwilling to meet the Toffees' asking price previously. United, desperate for defensive reinforcements, may look to make a move for the defender as soon as January.

Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey has branded the decision not to send off Brentford's Nathan Collins as "absolute nonsense" after his foul on Bryan Mbeumo during Manchester United's defeat on Saturday. Collins escaped with just a yellow despite hauling down Mbeumo in the box, with VAR backing the referee's call that the former Bees star wasn't in full control of the ball after a lengthy check.

Kate Scott's husband, Malik, has urged former Manchester United team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney to stage a 'global' boxing bout, claiming that it would do a lot of 'good' for the sport. Celebrity boxing events have been gathering a lot of fame over the last couple of years with multiple stars getting involved.

Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs is fighting to claim money worth £135,000 as he filed legal action over financial losses. Giggs is set to pocket £14 million after the closure of his firm Ryan Giggs Limited - a company that he started more 30 years ago to manage his earnings related to football. The former Welsh winger has put the company into voluntary liquidation.

Brentford manager Keith Andrews has been targeted with bizarre criticism by former Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill following the Bees' dominant win over Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday. Andrews' team dominated proceedings against a struggling United side and handed them their third defeat of the 2025-26 season.

Ruben Amorim came under fire for his tactical decisions at Brentford on Saturday as Match of the Day's Micah Richards slammed the Manchester United boss for the number of tactical tweaks he made in the second half. Richards detailed how Amorim repeatedly changed personnel without altering the formation, meaning some players played in several different positions within one half. The Red Devils ultimately went down to a 3-1 defeat, as Amorim's substitutes would make little difference.

Former Manchester United star and France's World Cup-winning defender Laurent Blanc has been relieved of his duties as head coach of Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ittihad. The decision came only a day after the reigning Saudi champions suffered a 2-0 defeat against Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr. It was Al-Ittihad's third defeat in the 2025-26 campaign, which led to Blanc's sacking.

Manchester United suffered another dismal result against Brentford, losing 3-1 to leave fans and pundits alike questioning Ruben Amorim's approach. Gary Neville singled out the decision to play Mason Mount at left-back as particularly baffling and symptomatic of a deeper malaise at the club. The Red Devils are struggling to find any consistency in their performances and results.

The ongoing struggles of Manchester United have Wayne Rooney in meltdown, with the club's all-time leading goalscorer calling out underperforming players and an ownership group that lacks leadership. Ruben Amorim continues to see questions asked of his future as manager at Old Trafford, with Rooney concerned by the direction in which the 13-time Premier League champions are heading.

Manchester United have been told that Harry Kane would have been their "saviour" and the "world would be different" had a transfer that was mooted across several transfer windows been completed. During Kane’s record-breaking spell at Tottenham, the Red Devils often saw a raid on Premier League rivals for the most prolific of strikers speculated on. No deal was ever done and the England international is now making more history in Germany with Bayern Munich.

Marcus Rashford is revelling in his form at Barcelona, with the Manchester United outcast adding another assist to his tally with La Liga heavyweights. The England international has been deemed surplus to requirements at Old Trafford, allowing him to spend time with Aston Villa and Barca, and the 27-year-old forward is determined to prove to his parent club that he is no spent force.
