Manchester United news

Gary Lineker has sparked a heated debate by naming Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes as his pick for PFA Player of the Year, despite Arsenal's Declan Rice being the odds-on favourite. The legendary England striker turned pundit believes the Portuguese international's individual brilliance and tactical intelligence outshine the contributions of those currently fighting for the Premier League title.

Manchester United have been warned it would take a British transfer record deal of £150 million-plus ($201m) in order to prise Cole Palmer away from Chelsea. The Wythenshawe native has seen a return to his roots in the North West speculated on, but former Stamford Bridge star Frank Sinclair has told GOAL why a stunning deal is unlikely to happen.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has weighed in on the club's managerial search, identifying a "perfect" candidate to take over permanently this summer. While Michael Carrick has steadied the ship following Ruben Amorim’s exit, Scholes remains unconvinced by his former team-mate's long-term credentials. The iconic midfielder believes the Red Devils must prioritize a proven winner to restore the club to its former glory.

Chido Obi’s evening ended in distress at Leigh Sports Village as the Manchester United starlet was forced off following a worrying head injury just seconds into a U21s clash with Chelsea. The encounter, watched by first-team manager Michael Carrick, saw the young Dane receive extensive medical treatment on the pitch. It proved a bruising night for the Red Devils, who lost two key players to concussion protocols.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has shared the terrifying reality of his family's lockdown in Dubai amid escalating missile strikes in the Middle East. The former England captain, who relocated to the UAE last summer with his wife Kate and their children, detailed their harrowing nights spent sheltering in a bunker, shedding light on the harsh impact of the ongoing regional conflict.

Manchester United made a special pitch to Benjamin Sesko which convinced him to join the Red Devils over Newcastle despite the Magpies offering him a higher salary. Sesko was the subject of interest from Arsenal and Newcastle last summer before opting to move to Old Trafford in a £74 million ($99m) signing and after a slow start he is beginning to pay off the fee with a spate of goals since January.

Arsenal might be leading the way on the pitch as they chase a first Premier League title in over two decades, but off it, they have secured a much less desirable accolade. A comprehensive new study has revealed that the Gunners’ faithful have been named the most disliked fanbase in the English top flight. The research, which highlights the tribal nature of modern football, suggests that the north London club’s return to the summit of the game has brought with it a significant wave of external hostility from rival supporters across social media platforms.

When Roy Keane claimed in January that Michael Carrick should not get the Manchester United job permanently even if he wins every game until the end of the season, it was easy to think that the hypothetical scenario he painted would never be tested. But the man who inherited the famous No.16 shirt from the polemical Irishman at Old Trafford and thus unwillingly became his sworn enemy is holding Keane to his word.

Manchester United are already plotting a major summer transfer spree as they prepare for life after one of their most decorated stars. The Red Devils are expected to invest over £170 million to replace Casemiro, who has announced he will not renew his contract after the upcoming World Cup, leaving a massive void in the heart of the Old Trafford midfield.

Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot has issued a rallying cry to his team-mates, warning them never to take European football for granted again. As the Red Devils endure their shortest competitive season in over a century, the Portuguese full-back believes the emptiness of missing out on the Champions League must serve as a permanent lesson for the squad. While domestic rivals prepare for the business end of continental competition, United find themselves observers after a 2024-25 campaign that was well below the standards expected at Old Trafford.

The transformation of Manchester United under Michael Carrick has been nothing short of remarkable, and even the club’s most vocal supporters are finding the current trajectory hard to process. Gary Neville, a man who has seen every high and low at Old Trafford over the last three decades, has admitted to being stunned by the sudden shift in expectations.

Bruno Fernandes has been informed that Manchester United can afford to lose him, despite his obvious value to the collective cause, with Lee Sharpe telling GOAL why a summer transfer elsewhere could happen. Portugal international Fernandes has been a talismanic presence across six years at Old Trafford, but questions continue to be asked of his short and long-term future.

Bruno Fernandes was instrumental yet again as the Red Devils secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford, a result that further cements Michael Carrick’s impressive start as interim manager. Despite a sluggish start for the team, Fernandes took control of proceedings to ensure United moved up to third in the table. His relentless output has seen him earn rave reviews from pundits, who believe he is the driving force behind United's recent resurgence in the post-Ruben Amorim era.
