Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek, who has spent the season on loan at Championship side Bristol City, is more likely to be sold or loaned out again, as the keeper is unlikely to accept a place on the bench behind number one Senne Lammens. Despite a costly error which saw the Belgian gift Liverpool their […]
Manuel Ugarte’s 20-month spell at Manchester United has proven underwhelming. Signed as Erik ten Hag’s third-choice midfield option in the summer of 2024, the move felt more like an INEOS-led decision than a tactically tailored addition. In fact, among INEOS’s 12 signings, Ugarte stands out as the clearest misstep, while even the second-worst signing, Joshua […]
Manchester United are honing in on a young, high-potential left-back as they target Newcastle’s Lewis Hall.

Despite a torrid second-half spell which saw Michael Carrick’s side surrender a 2-0 lead to level terms within 11 minutes of the restart, Manchester United secured qualification to the Champions League after Kobbie Mainoo’s goal delivered a 3-2 victory in the 77th minute. To call it a game of two halves barely scratches the surface. […]
Rio Ferdinand applauded Bruno Fernandes for his display in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Liverpool today (May 3). Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko gave the Red Devils a two-goal lead in a dominant first half. It was a first-half of pure terror for Liverpool. Every United pass felt direct, purposeful, and meaningful. If anything, United […]
Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has delivered more choice words on the Red Devils captain, Bruno Fernandes, reigniting the simmering rivalry between the two.

On Sunday at 3:30 pm, one of football’s fiercest rivalries ignites once more, as Liverpool travel up the M62 to face their old foe, Manchester United. A rivalry stretching back over 130 years, the first meeting between these sides came on 28 April 1894, when Liverpool defeated Newton Heath—who would, of course, become Manchester United—2-0 […]
