Cristiano Ronaldo could leave Al-Nassr in the summer, with a move to either Major League Soccer or a return to Europe both options for the Portugal superstar. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United ace has a release clause of €50 million (£43m/$59m) in his contract ahead of the summer window and will not lack for offers if he decide to quit the Saudi Pro League.
Marcus Rashford does not want to return to Manchester United this summer, and hopes to resolve his future ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The winger is currently on loan at Barcelona and the Catalan club have negotiated an option to sign the forward for £26 million ($35m). Michael Carrick is said to want Rashford back if he takes charge permanently but that's not enough to tempt Rashford to return.
Tyrell Malacia’s nightmare spell at Manchester United has taken a chaotic and bitter turn after the club blocked his proposed exit to Turkey while he was literally waiting to board his flight. The Dutch defender has been left "furious" and in a state of total disbelief by the 11th-hour U-turn from technical director Jason Wilcox, which traps him at Old Trafford despite him having no apparent prospect of first-team football.
Manchester United reportedly failed in a late bid to hijack Liverpool’s proposed deal for highly-rated Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet. The France Under-21 international is seemingly heading to Anfield, with other Premier League suitors being left empty-handed. United form part of that pack, with the Red Devils eager to buy into the obvious potential that Jacquet possesses.
Jamie Carragher has performed a dramatic U-turn in his assessment of Manchester United midfielder Casemiro and invited the experienced Brazil international to shame his punditry skills. Back in 2024, Liverpool legend Carragher claimed that “football had left” Casemiro and he was destined to end up in MLS or the Saudi Pro League. The South American has enjoyed an impressive upturn in form this season.
Michael Carrick has revealed that Mason Mount missed Manchester United's dramatic victory against Fulham due to a training ground injury. The interim boss confirmed the midfielder took a "knock" but expects him back soon. However, there was worse news for defender Patrick Dorgu, who faces a spell on the sidelines after suffering a "serious" setback in the previous win at Arsenal.
Michael Carrick is reportedly keen to have Marcus Rashford back at Manchester United next season if he stays on as Red Devils boss, but Barcelona hold the most important trump card in any transfer battle. The Liga giants took the England international forward on loan ahead of the current campaign and boast a purchase option that can be triggered in the summer of 2026.
Manchester United hero Benjamin Sesko, fresh from netting a dramatic winner in a five-goal thriller with Fulham, admits that Michael Carrick has improved “work rate” in the Red Devils ranks - allowing an impressive run of results to be enjoyed. United edged out Fulham 3-2 at Old Trafford and have now taken maximum points from three games under their interim head coach.
Manchester United's winning start to life under Michael Carrick continued in dramatic fashion as Benjamin Sesko's stoppage-time strike secured a 3-2 win over Fulham on Sunday. Goals from Casemiro and Matheus Cunha had the Red Devils cruising towards victory, only for late strikes from Raul Jimenez and Kevin to pull the visitors level. Sesko, however, had the last laugh when he lashed his shot into the top corner.
Rumours linking Bruno Fernandes with a stunning January move to Real Madrid have been shut down by Fabrizio Romano. The transfer guru reports that claims the Manchester United captain offered himself to Los Blancos this month are "completely fake". Fernandes' future has been a frequent topic of discussion, but it appears likely that the 31-year-old will remain at Old Trafford until at least the end of the season, as his side seek Champions League qualification.
Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick has claimed he takes no offence as the club's supporters prepare to protest against the ownership at Old Trafford before Sunday's clash with Fulham in the Premier League. While Carrick has overseen victories over Manchester City and Arsenal in his first two matches of this half-season spell, Red Devils fans remain disillusioned with the Glazer family and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, with the former presiding over a troubled time in the club's modern history before the latter's more recent investment.
Norwich City have confirmed on-loan Manchester United defender Harry Amass has suffered what could be a season-ending injury a little over a week after joining the Championship club. The teenager, who spent the first half of the campaign with Sheffield Wednesday, has only just made his Canaries debut and now faces a battle to play again in 2025-26.
Interim Manchester United boss Michael Carrick is reportedly keen on bringing Marcus Rashford back to Old Trafford - if he gets the job permanently. The England international is on loan with La Liga's champions this season, with Hansi Flick's side having an option to make the move permanent this summer. Rashford wasn't wanted by former United head coach Ruben Amorim but that is seemingly not the case with Carrick.
Michael Carrick admits that Bruno Fernandes' Manchester United future is on his agenda amid speculation the Portuguese may leave the club this summer. The 31-year-old recently spoke about how unsettled he was at the Red Devils, and the club's hierarchy didn't make him feel very welcome in 2025. Now, interim boss Carrick has waxed lyrical about the midfielder, while admitting Fernandes' future will more likely be addressed this summer.
The last time Bruno Fernandes faced Fulham the whole football world was laughing at him. The Manchester United captain skied his penalty in the 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage in August and partly blamed the miss on referee Chris Kavanagh bumping into him. He explained: "As a penalty-taker, you have your own routines. It upset me because the referee didn't apologise."
Michael Carrick has confirmed that Patrick Dorgu is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury against Arsenal last weekend, though the Manchester United interim head coach was unable to provide a clear timescale for the wing-back’s return, an update fans will not have wanted as they begin to find their form after Ruben Amorim's dismissal.
Manchester United are facing a significant internal dilemma regarding the future of Harry Maguire, with the club’s hierarchy reportedly split on whether to offer the veteran defender a new contract. With the 32-year-old’s current deal set to expire in June, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reluctant to sanction an extension, even though the centre-back is willing to accept a pay cut to remain at Old Trafford.
Manchester United have suffered a major transfer setback as long-term target Ruben Neves is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract with Al-Hilal. Despite holding talks with the Red Devils in December, the midfielder is in advanced negotiations to remain in Saudi Arabia, ending Michael Carrick's hopes of a January reinforcement.
Another transfer window and another highly-rated prospect is on their way to Chelsea. The club's youth policy has struck again, with the west Londoners landing 17-year-old full-back Yisa Alao from financially troubled Sheffield Wednesday. Despite his very limited experience at senior level, the teenager provoked a transfer tug-of-war between three Premier League giants, but it is the Blues who have emerged victorious.
Michael Carrick used to look up to Roy Keane. When he was a youth teamer at West Ham, Carrick would analyse the way the Manchester United captain walked out of the dressing room at Upton Park. The first time he faced Keane on the pitch, Carrick watched him ‘clatter’ his team-mate Joe Cole. And yet he was never intimidated by him. And maybe that is why Keane is waging a war of words with United's interim boss.
Roy Keane has admitted he "hopes" Michael Carrick is handed the permanent Manchester United job, marking a surprise softening of his stance on the interim boss. While the former captain remains sceptical about whether Carrick can deliver a league title, he conceded his former teammate has "took advantage" of the role. However, Keane urged caution, warning fans that recent wins do not solve the club's long-term issues.
The Premier League secretly removed Ryan Giggs from its inaugural Hall of Fame lineup after he was charged with domestic abuse, fresh reports have revealed. The Manchester United legend was set to be unveiled alongside Alan Shearer and Thierry Henry in 2021, but executives intervened to scrub his name. Despite being cleared in 2023, the 13-time champion remains exiled from the prestigious list.
Manchester United have decisively ended speculation linking them with a record-breaking swoop for Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer, with Old Trafford chiefs deeming the move financially unviable. Despite reports suggesting the England international is unsettled in the capital, the Red Devils have ruled out a summer approach, opting instead to prioritise a replacement for Casemiro over another marquee addition to their forward line.
Harry Maguire has jokingly admitted that interim manager Michael Carrick is still putting the Manchester United squad to shame in training, claiming the 44-year-old remains the best passer at the club. The defender opened up about the new coaching setup at Carrington, praising the "hands-on" approach of Carrick and his assistant Steve Holland, while admitting he has been unsurprised by the seamless transition the 44-year-old has made into the dugout.
