Casemiro said he had "many more memories to create" when announcing that he was leaving Manchester United at the end of the season, and he has certainly delivered on that promise thus far. In the two games since his departure was confirmed in January, he has played his part in a tantalising 3-2 win at Arsenal before leading from the front in the equally dramatic 3-2 victory over Fulham.
Former Manchester United and Portugal winger Nani has had his say on some of the top attacking talents in European football, offering his backing to the likes of Marcus Rashford and Antoine Semenyo. The four-time Premier League winner was eventually forced to choose his ultimate forward in a bracket that included Real Madrid sensation Jude Bellingham and Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal - scroll on to find out who won!
Shea Lacey has sent a reminder to interim Manchester United boss Michael Carrick of what he has to offer, with the Red Devils wonderkid netting a stunning hat-trick in Premier League 2 competition. The exciting teenager has already made a senior breakthrough in 2025-26, but experienced mixed emotions after being given his chance to shine on a first-team stage.
Manchester United flop Donny van de Beek has announced his engagement to Estelle Bergkamp, the daughter of Arsenal legend Dennis. The Dutch midfielder endured a tough time on the field at Old Trafford, leading to an inevitable departure in 2024, but has had plenty to celebrate off the pitch. He and his fiancee are now preparing to draw up wedding plans.
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 âŹ50 million (ÂŁ43m/$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 ÂŁ26 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 Malaciaâs 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 Liverpoolâs 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 âfootball had leftâ 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 âwork rateâ 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-backâs 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 clubâs hierarchy reportedly split on whether to offer the veteran defender a new contract. With the 32-year-oldâs 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 âclatterâ 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.
