Liverpool manager Arne Slot has come under fire following his comments around the Reds’ 2-1 defeat to Manchester United. The Dutchman criticised United’s style of play after full-time and even referenced Benjamin Sesko’s omission from the starting XI in a baffling pre-match claim. His remarks sparked outrage among rival fans, who branded the manager’s reaction as “f*cking pathetic”.
The last time Manchester United won at Anfield, Great Britain was still in the European Union, Donald Trump was best known as the presenter of The Apprentice and Leicester City were top of the Premier League. Marcus Rashford had not yet played a first-team game, Arne Slot had not yet entered management and Ruben Amorim was seeing out his playing career in Qatar.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo chooses to remain silent in a WhatsApp group comprising ex-Red Devils stars because he fears the Englishman's status as a "journalist". Following his retirement from professional football, Ferdinand has kept himself busy by working as a pundit for various broadcasters. He also hosts his own podcast on his YouTube channel Rio Ferdinand Presents.
Bruno Fernandes passionately defended Ruben Amorim's tactics amid criticism of the manager's system, after Manchester United registered a "massive" victory over rivals Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. United beat the Reds 2-1 to claim their first win at Anfield since 2016 as Amorim also secured back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time in his tenure.
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has revealed the reasoning behind his surprise decision to bench big-money summer signing Benjamin Sesko for the crunch clash with heated rivals Liverpool at Anfield. Amorim’s team selections were ultimately vindicated after watching his side sensationally beat the Premier League champions 2-1 in a pulsating clash on Merseyside.
Arne Slot brutally branded Manchester United a "long-ball team" as he claimed Liverpool "hardly conceded a chance" in their disappointing 2-1 loss at Anfield on Sunday. United registered their first victory at Anfield since 2016 and secured back-to-back wins in the Premier League for the first time since Ruben Amorim took over as head coach in November last year.
Harry Maguire ended Manchester United's long, long wait to win away at Liverpool as he snatched a 2-1 victory which could kickstart the Ruben Amorim era at last. Maguire headed home Bruno Fernandes' swerving cross in the 85th minute to restore United's advantage shortly after Cody Gakpo had cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo's quick-fire opener.
Michael Oliver has been branded a “disgrace” by disgruntled Liverpool supporters, with “corruption” claims made on the back of the Reds seeing big calls go against them early on against Manchester United. The Anfield faithful felt the game should have been stopped for a head injury before Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring inside two minutes on Merseyside.
Ruben Amorim has incurred the wrath of Manchester United supporters after naming Benjamin Sesko on the bench for a crunch Premier League clash with Liverpool at Anfield. The Red Devils head to Merseyside in need of goals and another positive result that will help to build momentum, but one of their big-money summer signings is being restricted to an impact role.
David Beckham may be given the chance to help turn collective fortunes around at Manchester United, with it being reported that the Red Devils legend has been approached by a consortium from the United Arab Emirates to front a takeover bid. The ex-England captain would, if the buy out proved to be successful, be offered the chance to own a stake in the Premier League heavyweights.
Ruben Amorim has confirmed that Bruno Fernandes will continue as Manchester United's first-choice penalty taker, despite costly recent misses against Fulham and Brentford in the Premier League. The Portuguese has scored just one of three from the spot so far this season, the decider at home to Burnley, but Amorim maintains full faith in his club captain ahead of the Red Devils trip to face Liverpool on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim has poured cold water on speculation that Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee could leave Manchester United in January. The Portuguese boss acknowledged both players' frustration over limited game time but made it clear that they remain "our players" and will not be allowed to depart midway through the season as he seeks stability at Old Trafford.
Matthijs de Ligt says he has a “good relationship” with Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim, likening the Portuguese’s straight-talking style to his own personality. The Red Devils boss has faced criticism following the club’s stuttering start to the 2025-26 season but the Netherlands defender insists his manager is not alone in feeling a pressure which naturally comes with representing one of Europe’s elite clubs.
Manchester United star Matthijs de Ligt revealed why the Red Devils have always held a special place in his heart, and it all traces back to two club icons, Cristiano Ronaldo and Edwin van der Sar. Long before he became one of Europe’s most sought-after defenders, De Ligt was just a football-obsessed kid in the Netherlands. He might have come through Ajax’s legendary academy, but beneath that red-and-white shirt, his footballing heart was always rooted for United.
A £60 million-plus Manchester United signing from Brazil would normally be guaranteed a place in the starting line-up in the biggest game of the season at Liverpool. And yet Matheus Cunha is most likely to spend the first part of Sunday’s visit to Anfield in the Premier League warming the bench due to the renaissance of another £60m man in Mason Mount.
Manchester United COO Collette Roche has outlined the profound impact which building a new stadium at Old Trafford would have not only on the football club but on the prosperity of the surrounding area and beyond. A 100,000-seater plan has been touted to replace the ageing Red Devils stadium, which would make it the biggest stadium in Europe, though slightly below Barcelona's expected 105,000-seater redeveloped Nou Camp.
Former Scotland midfielder Don Hutchison has urged Liverpool boss Arne Slot to drop summer signing Jeremie Frimpong, claiming the Dutchman’s performances have been far below the club’s standards. Hutchison believes Conor Bradley should now be given the chance to start at right-back, arguing that Frimpong’s form and confidence have dipped alarmingly since his arrival at Anfield.
The gap between Liverpool and Manchester United is wider than it has ever been during the Premier League era and Alan Shearer has underlined this by only selecting one United player in a combined starting XI with their fierce Anfield rivals. The old foes face off on Sunday with Arne Slot’s side huge favourites to win the three points and the bragging rights for Liverpool fans.
Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini reportedly believes he could be in contention to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United if the Portuguese coach is sacked. The 60-year-old Italian, who led City to their first Premier League title in 2012, is said to have told friends he would be open to a return to English football amid growing pressure on Amorim.
Ruben Amorim has urged Manchester United fans to calm their expectations of young goalkeeper Senne Lammens, after the 23-year-old shined on his Red Devils debut against Sunderland prior to the international break. The United head coach suggested that the Belgian has not yet earned comparisons with club legend shot-stoppers such as Peter Schmeichel, but that he showed "a lot of composure" and could start against Liverpool on Sunday.
Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has welcomed the public backing he recently received from co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in spite of the team's ragged results this season. The Portuguese claimed he already felt supported by the club's hierarchy even after losing four of United's opening eight games in all competitions. And he revealed the person who puts him under the most pressure.
Developing plans for a buy-out of Manchester United could include the return of one of the club's most celebrated former stars after Eric Cantona was named as a potential ambassador if the Glazer family decide to sell-up. And while those planning a mega-money bid haven’t officially announced their interest, talk of Canton’s return has excited United fans.
Wayne Rooney has been brutally informed, by Danny Simpson during an exclusive interview with GOAL, that his dream of one day becoming Manchester United manager is likely to have "died". The Red Devils legend has, however, been talked up for alternative roles at Old Trafford - and one of those could see him help son Kai to chase the professional football dream.
