Manchester United news

Manchester United have been told that USMNT star Antonee Robinson could solve a “weakness” in Ruben Amorim’s squad. The Red Devils have continued to favour a 3-4-3 system under their Portuguese coach, despite lacking specialists to fill wing-back roles. A raid on Fulham could help to address those issues, with Robinson generating more transfer talk.

Ruben Amorim is reportedly ready to finally change tack at Manchester United and move away from his much-maligned 3-4-3 system. The Portuguese is being backed into a corner as Bryan Mbeumo, Amad and Noussair Mazraoui prepare to head off on Africa Cup of Nations duty. Their absence could lead to the Red Devils reverting to a back-four system.

Some behind the scenes at Manchester United are said to be “very uneasy” at Ruben Amorim’s brutal handling of academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo. The England international midfielder is yet to start a Premier League game in the 2025-26 campaign. That has led to inevitable questions being asked of his future, ahead of another transfer window, and whether his manager is adopting the right stance.

Ruben Amorim has delivered a clear verdict on Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League clash with the Cherries at Old Trafford. While praising the Ghana international as a 'special player', the Red Devils boss played down transfer talk despite renewed January speculation regarding a move for the winger, who is being courted by multiple Premier League giants.

Ruben Amorim claims that he would be “really pleased” if out-of-favour midfielder Kobbie Mainoo asked him about a January loan transfer away from Manchester United. Questions are being asked of the 20-year-old’s future at Old Trafford amid struggles for regular game time. He may need a move in order to compete for a place in England’s plans for the 2026 World Cup.

Mason Greenwood scored a late winner against AS Monaco to earn the Man of the Match trophy as Marseille climbed up to third place in Ligue 1. The former Manchester United forward is enjoying another prolific season at the Orange Velodrome under Roberto De Zerbi. He is currently leading the Golden Boot race in France, two goals clear of Rennes' Esteban Lepaul and Strasbourg's Joaquín Panichelli.

Carlos Baleba has addressed talk that speculation over a summer move to Manchester United has impacted his form. The Cameroon international was heavily linked with a switch to Old Trafford over the summer as Ruben Amorim pushed to strengthen his side in the middle of the park. However, United failed to agree a fee with Brighton, and the transfer ultimately failed to materialise.

Barcelona are keen to 'tempt' Kobbie Mainoo away from Manchester United but face stiff competition in the race for the midfielder. The England international had pushed to leave Old Trafford over the summer but was rebuffed in his efforts to leave the Manchester powerhouse. A January transfer has been mooted, though United need reinforcements before sanctioning his exit.

First Ruben Amorim came for Marcus Rashford but Manchester United fans did not speak out because they had also questioned his commitment and performances. Then he came for Alejandro Garnacho and still they did not speak out as the winger’s attitude had become unbearable. But then he came for Kobbie Mainoo and there was total uproar, enough to finally push the patient supporters over the edge.

Manchester United urged to snub Adam Wharton & Elliot Anderson in favour of signing USMNT star Tyler Adams to end their transfer search for a new midfielder. Ruben Amorim is desperate to make a quality signing in his engine room, and the club is expected to back him in the winter market to get on board a midfielder.

Manchester United are reportedly still refusing to green-light January exits for Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, despite their wishes to leave Old Trafford amid Serie A transfer interest. Both players have struggled to fit into Ruben Amorim's plans, but the club hierarchy does not want to sanction their sales in the winter window.

Manchester United have racked up an eye-watering record debt, but their finances show a positive outcome from the proceeds of Antony and Alejandro Garnacho's sales. The club's total debt has climbed to a record £1.29 billion ($1.72b), driven by fresh borrowing and the long-standing legacy of leveraged ownership. Yet beneath the headline figure sits a more nuanced picture, one shaped by aggressive cost-cutting, a rare operating profit, and timely player sales that have softened the blow.

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has lauded Marcus Rashford’s professionalism and attitude after the England forward found himself starting fewer matches following the return of Raphinha to full fitness. Despite a dip in minutes, Flick insists the 28-year-old has been "perfect" behind the scenes, offering a model response to competition within a title-chasing squad.
