Manchester United tear Nottingham Forest apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑0 against Nottingham Forest, and it could have been more.

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.

A brace, and Bryan Mbeumo takes the afternoon — 8.68
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Bryan Mbeumo provided it, and the 8.68 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.
Match26 Sep 2026
Manchester United cannot stop winning
4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

A falling-out at Manchester United
Bruno Fernandes and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Matheus Cunha 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.

The step up is real for Diego León
At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Amad in the eights
A performance of 8.48 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Mason Mount did the work nobody counts — 7.64
11 combined actions and 7.64. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.
In brief
- Player ratings Ninety minutes of Matheus Cunha at his very best
- Squad 9 new faces, and Manchester United are still learning each other
- The dugout Amir Ibragimov dropped after a run of poor form
