The reason why Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot escaped a red card for a rash challenge on Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has been revealed. In the 11th minute of a frenetic Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Saturday, Dalot caught Doku on the knee but was only given a booking.

New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has been urged to be wary of repeating one of Ruben Amorim's mistakes at Manchester United after taking the reins at Stamford Bridge.

Oliver Glasner will depart Crystal Palace at the end of the season, the Eagles boss confirmed in his press conference on Friday.

Michael Carrick has attempted to lift the spirits of disillusioned Manchester United fans by insisting there is still 'magic' about Old Trafford despite the turmoil that has engulfed the club over the past few years and the decline in results.

Didi Hamann has urged Manchester United to pursue Thomas Tuchel as their next manager, with the Old Trafford club set to decide on a long-term successor to Michael Carrick at the end of the season.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro can automatically trigger a one-year extension onto his contract at Old Trafford if he starts a certain number of games this season, it has been revealed. The 33-year-old would see his Red Devils contract extended until 2027 at his current salary, if he reaches the target. This could be a challenge due to United's lack of European football and poor form in the cup competitions, with just the Premier League left to play in.

Michael Carrick said he is ready for the unrelenting scrutiny he is about to face as Manchester United coach, including from his former Red Devils' team-mates.

Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy has officially secured a prestigious return to international coaching.

Manchester United continue to count the cost of their on-field struggles, with it being reported that the Red Devils face another £50 million ($67m) hole in their accounts for 2025-26. With no European football on the agenda this season, the Premier League heavyweights have crashed out of both domestic cup competitions at the earliest opportunity.
