Nobody could get near Millenic Alli

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

An offer of $6.1M for Alex Matos

Cambridge United have gone to Sheffield United with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market24 Aug 2026

Glenn McConnell asks to leave Cambridge United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Joe Rothwell

Cambridge United asked and Sheffield United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

A falling-out at Cambridge United

Matías Contrera and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Gassan Ahadme’s goal not enough for Cambridge United

Gassan Ahadme scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Walsall, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Match18 Aug 2026

Gassan Ahadme answers Walsall immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Gassan Ahadme had Cambridge United level again within 4 minutes, and Walsall never got to play with a lead at all.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Gassan Ahadme reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Michael Morrison

7.43, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Cambridge United had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Too dear: Cambridge United walk away from Ollie Scarles

$9.0M was the most the club would pay and West Ham United were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market17 Aug 2026

Cardiff City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Cambridge United did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

A defender's goal wins it for Cambridge United — 7.94

1 for Dominic Ball, marked 7.94, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Cambridge United go back to the board over Ollie Scarles

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $9.7M — a club that wants Ollie Scarles enough to be asked twice.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Millenic Alli beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Graduation day at Cambridge United

2 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Cambridge United rebuffed over Kai Payne

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Wigan Athletic have kept their man, and Cambridge United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Cambridge United

Matías Contrera and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

One of our own: Charles Marshall joins the Cambridge United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Charles Marshall is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
