Manchester United news

Amidst increasing pressure surrounding Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils have been told by a former Premier League star that former England boss Gareth Southgate is the ideal man to take over at Old Trafford and bring a good feeling back to the club. Southgate had previously been linked with the role before Amorim took over, a decision which has not quite gone to plan thus far.

Manchester United have reportedly added Gareth Southgate to a three-man shortlist as they weigh up whether to sack under-fire manager Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese is under pressure after presiding over a torrid start which has seen the Red Devils lose four of their opening seven games in all competitions in 2025-26.

Olympics legend Usain Bolt slammed Manchester United's "joke" of a performance in their 3-1 defeat against Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday. The celebrity fan criticised his beloved Red Devils in a match which saw him struggle to identify with "one good thing" as pressure continues to mount on under-fire head coach Ruben Amorim.

Ruben Amorim claimed after Manchester United's defeat at Brentford that he is never worried about losing his job and that is just as well because, sooner or later, he is going to get his marching orders at Old Trafford. The results speak for themselves. His team have lost 17 of their 33 Premier League matches while winning just nine times. If you want to find a United coach with a worse win percentage in the league, you have to go back to before the Second World War.

Ruben Amorim could not hide his frustration after Manchester United succumbed to yet another defeat in the Premier League at the hands of Brentford on Saturday. The Red Devils' misery under Amorim continued as they are now winless in their last eight away games in the English top-flight and are currently struggling at the 13th position on the league table.

Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty and Harry Maguire had a day to forget as Manchester United sank to a worrying 3-1 defeat at Brentford which leaves Ruben Amorim's reputation further in tatters. The Red Devils were hoping to make the most of a bad start by Brentford and record back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time under their coach but it all went horribly wrong and piled more pressure on their beleaguered manager.

Manchester United have drawn up alternative plans of the 'new' Old Trafford, due to problems in purchasing the required land for the controversial re-design. Those plans, originally released in March, would see a three-pronged canopy envelop the stadium. However, reports suggest the purchase of land required for the stadium's increased footprint could be eight times more expensive than expected.

How to watch the Premier League match between Brentford and Manchester United.

Diego Leon has been training with Manchester United's first-team since his summer move from Cerro Porteno, but the 18-year-old left-back still has plenty to prove before earning Premier League minutes. Despite ambitious claims ahead of his arrival, Leon is far from ready to feature for Ruben Amorim's senior squad.

Senne Lammens has quickly adapted to life at Manchester United since his deadline-day move from Royal Antwerp, with the Belgian praised for his calm presence and maturity in training. However, despite impressing behind the scenes, the 23-year-old goalkeeper is still waiting to make his debut under Ruben Amorim, and it remains uncertain when that chance will arrive.

Manchester United are once again dipping into the South American talent pool, this time with the capture of Colombian prodigy Cristian Orozco. Reports in Colombia suggest the Red Devils have thrashed out a deal with Fortaleza CEIF, the teenager’s current side, as Ruben Amorim continues a long-term rebuild at Old Trafford.

On statistics alone, it might look like Bryan Mbeumo has made a slow start to life with Manchester United. He has one goal in his five matches since his £71 million ($95m) move from Brentford, contrasting with four goals at the same stage of last season with the Bees. But ask any fan who has been their best player so far in this stop-start season and they will most likely name the Cameroon forward.

Wayne Rooney admitted that Cristiano Ronaldo's brain blew him away as the Manchester United legend hailed his former team-mate's "selfish mentality". The pair formed one of the most devastating partnerships Old Trafford has ever seen, firing United to Premier League and Champions League glory. Yet behind the scenes, differences in mindset and priorities were already bubbling.
