Manchester United news

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been handed a much-needed boost as Lisandro Martinez edges closer to a return after seven months out with an ACL injury. The Argentinian defender has stepped back onto the grass for the first time since February, raising hopes of a comeback after the international break.

Peter Schmeichel admits that Antony was “never good enough for Manchester United” but the Red Devils legend has questioned why Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund were allowed to leave Old Trafford. The Scotland international midfielder and Danish striker are now team-mates again in Italy at Napoli after surprisingly being deemed surplus to requirements.

Manchester United's downfall under Ruben Amorim looks no closer to halting with the Red Devils enduring their worst start in 33 years. Fans of the 20-time Premier League champions are urging the club to re-sign former coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after showing proof that the Norwegian manager was sacked prematurely in 2021.

Jose Mourinho has been told to "accept" that "his career is over" as the former Chelsea & Manchester United boss nears a surprise return to Benfica. The 62-year-old tactician, coming off an ill-fated stint at Fenerbahce, is reportedly in advanced talks to take charge at the Portuguese giants once again. However, some fans aren't buying the comeback story.

Youngster Sam Mather was not involved in Manchester United Under-21s’ clash with Brackley Town in the National League Cup on Tuesday as he continues to weigh up a move to the United Arab Emirates. The 21-year-old was a notable absentee as the young Red Devils slipped to a narrow 2-1 defeat against National League side Brackley at St James Park.

Former Manchester United defender Phil Jones was honoured at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium after he completed his sport directorship degree in a bid to start a new career. Jones only retired last year after so much time spent battling injury setbacks, walking away from playing with just five senior appearances in his final four seasons. Now, instead of marshalling defences, he's plotting moves from the boardroom.

Ruben Amorim is under mounting pressure to keep his job at Manchester United. The Portuguese coach has overseen the club's worst start to a Premier League season for 33 years, and has faced widespread criticism for his rigid tactics, with a £200m summer spending spree doing little to improve the Red Devils' fortunes.

Manchester United have been told that former midfielder Michael Carrick has more “common sense” than under-fire coach Ruben Amorim. Former Red Devils assistant Rene Meulensteen thinks Carrick could be a good option if the club do decide to part ways with their Portuguese manager after a poor start to the 2025-26 Premier League season.

Manchester United have posted their highest ever amount of revenue for last season, despite having their worst campaign on the pitch in 51 years. On Wednesday, the Red Devils published their latest financial results, which they said show 'the enduring strength and resilience of the club' as well as the benefits of 'difficult decisions taken', namely making an extra 200 staff members redundant.

Manchester United have been told that Ruben Amorim would have been a perfect fit for one of their Premier League rivals. Since taking charge at Old Trafford, Amorim has managed United in 47 matches across all competitions, out of which they have won just 17 and have a 36 per cent win rate. The Red Devils were soundly beaten by Manchester City in their latest outing to pile more pressure on Amorim.

Manchester United have been told to take a leaf out of Sheffield United's book and re-hire one of their former managers. The Championship side sacked Chris Wilder in June before recalling him this week for a third stint and now the Red Devils are being urged to sack head coach Ruben Amorim and bring back an Old Trafford favourite as soon as possible.

Manchester United minority owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is expected to put Ligue 1 club Nice up for sale at a price of around €200 million (£174m/$237m). An official announcement is expected from INEOS shortly, as Ratcliffe is said to finally be ready to give up his stake with the French team that he originally acquired back in 2019 for approximately £89 million (€100 million).

Manchester United legend Michael Carrick has taken up a new job just three months after parting ways with Middlesbrough. The Riverside club sacked Carrick at the end of the 2024-25 campaign after a 10th-placed finish in the Championship. The ex-United midfielder was initially appointed in 2022 and earned praise for his initial impact but Middlesbrough decided to make a change after failing to make the play-offs in each of the last two seasons.
