Market9 Aug 2027

Paris Saint-Germain watching Victor Osimhen

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Manchester United have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Gabriel signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gabriel commits to Manchester United for another 4 years.

Market9 Aug 2027

Jarrad Branthwaite wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Manchester United hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Manchester United

Victor Osimhen was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Real improvement from Daniel Gore at Manchester United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Gore is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad9 Aug 2027

Words at Manchester United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marcus Rashford is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market9 Aug 2027

Diego León has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Manchester United can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Loan watch9 Aug 2027

Carlos Baleba has seen enough of Hull City

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Manchester United, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.

Market9 Aug 2027

The Marcus Rashford question follows Manchester United around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Marcus Rashford’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Fee done, terms next for Julio Enciso

Manchester United and Ipswich Town have settled on $68.3M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Manchester United bid $174.1M for Vitinha

The offer went to Paris Saint-Germain this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets7 Jun 2027

Door shut on Kevin

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

Market7 Jun 2027

Benjamin Šeško puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Manchester United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market7 Jun 2027

Manchester United turn down Valencia for Senne Lammens

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad7 Jun 2027

22 days out for Jaydan Kamason after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Manchester United will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market7 Jun 2027

Not going: Manuel Ugarte stays at Manchester United

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Middlesbrough had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Market7 Jun 2027

Bart Verbruggen raises the bar for Manchester United

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Manchester United heard it as anything else.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Victor Osimhen in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Manchester United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A fracture rules Jaydan Kamason out for 103 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Manchester United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match3 Apr 2027

Victor Osimhen wins it after the whistle should have gone

92 minutes played. Victor Osimhen found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and West Ham United went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Market5 Apr 2027

Lisandro Martínez asks to leave Manchester 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.

Player ratings5 Apr 2027

Nobody could get near Bryan Mbeumo

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market5 Apr 2027

Ian Maatsen raises the bar for Manchester United

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Manchester United heard it as anything else.

Squad5 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Manchester United

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

Squad5 Apr 2027

Diego León is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad5 Apr 2027

Defences have started doubling up on Victor Osimhen

13 goals and a season average of 7.20 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

Match3 Apr 2027

Manchester United see off West Ham United

Three points for Manchester United, 1‑0 the final word against West Ham United in a contest settled by the finer margins.
