Amorim drops huge clue over future of United star in latest “intense” action – report

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has made a drastic move involving Kobbie Mainoo, which strongly suggests the youngster remains part of his plans.

Mainoo struggling under Amorim

Mainoo has played four games all season, but he’s only started one – the embarrassing defeat to Grimsby Town in the second round of the EFL Cup.

So far this term, Amorim has demonstrated a clear preference for the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte, and it appears that Mainoo is firmly at the bottom of the pecking order.

During the final stages of the summer transfer window, Mainoo officially requested United to let him leave on loan. The club declined. Amorim has admitted that Mainoo is competing with Fernandes for a starting spot but with the skipper’s importance and consistent fitness, the Carrington academy graduate faces an uphill task.

A January exit for Mainoo has not been entirely ruled and multiple suitors are believed to be keeping close tabs on his situation.

However, a recent report highlighted by The Peoples Person noted that Mainoo is fully focused on working hard to reclaim his spot in the team.

Now, The Sun reveal that Amorim is personally working with Mainoo, taking the midfield through “intense training sessions” to revive his Old Trafford career.

Amorim acts decisively over Mainoo

The Sun claim that a United source told them, “Ruben has been working with Kobbie on his defensive plays and skills, talking with him a lot about defensive commitment in order to try him alongside Bruno at some point.”

“Kobbie also has the ability to play as a number six, which is important since Casemiro has had some ups and downs, will be suspended, and (Manuel) Ugarte hasn’t fully convinced Amorim yet.”

“Kobbie’s athleticism and hunger to succeed are seen as very important by Ruben, and he is clearly showing him that he wants him committed and ready to help in any central midfield position, even now as a number six, since the team lacks impact in that role.”

The insider added, “Kobbie is a player Ruben likes a lot, but he also wants him to keep working hard, be ready to make sacrifices, and understand that opportunities and playing time will come over the course of a long season. Ruben trusts Kobbie’s talent and sees that he has been working very hard and giving everything in training lately.”

“He likes seeing Kobbie in ‘warrior mode’ lately and enjoys that he has developed this kind of mentality. Ruben loves Kobbie’s athleticism, football IQ, and skillset. He is challenging him to make him better and sees him as a strong option to play as a defensive midfielder in certain games and situations.”

“Ruben feels that using Kobbie as a six in some matches will help him become a better, more complete player and keep improving to reach his full potential.”

With Casemiro suspended for Saturday’s meeting with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium, the fixture represents an opportune moment for Mainoo to start and remind everyone of what he can do.

Brentford vs. United kicks off at 12:30 pm.

“A realistic chance”: United plot to execute £57m raid for game-changing signing next summer – Ben Jacobs

“A realistic chance”: United plot to execute £57m raid for game-changing signing next summer – Ben Jacobs

All of a sudden, Harry Kane has become a hot topic in the gossip columns.

Reports suggest that, come next summer, the Bayern Munich talisman could make his long-awaited Premier League return.

Release clause

It has been revealed that Kane has a £56.7 million release clause that Premier League sides can activate next summer.

And while top clubs like United are lining up to pounce on the chance to land a proven goal-scoring monster, there is a catch.

To activate that clause, INEOS must win Kane’s red-hot race in the winter because it only becomes valid if Kane informs Bayern of his intention to leave in January.

With all eyes now on INEOS to make the necessary moves and fend off competition from Premier League rivals like Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, Bayern have responded to the growing exit talk.

Bayern react

Bayern chief Max Eberl, fully aware of the situation, has offered a telling admission on where the club stands. He says via Sport Bild:

“[Kane is] old enough to make his own decisions, whether it’s a clause or no clause, whatever – if he says he wants to make a decision, then he’ll make it, as he showed at Tottenham. But our wish is, of course, to be very, very successful with Harry this season and in the future!”

While he admits Kane’s future ultimately lies in his own hands, Eberl adds:

“At his age, he’s making huge progress on the pitch. We all knew him from Tottenham, from his goal-scoring skills, but the way he’s playing football right now in this team, leading the way on the pitch, sacrificing himself for the team, shows: He simply wants to win titles, that’s his hunger! He can do that with us, that’s what we want to do with him!”

Transfer to keep an eye on

Ben Jacobs, speaking to The United Stand, was asked whether United could pull off the deal. He admitted:

“I think there is. I’m not going to get anyone too excited so early.

“Kane has this release clause that was kept secret, and it’s €65m to my knowledge. After the World Cup, there is a realistic chance that Kane returns.

“I’m told Kane, when he moved to Bayern, had this idea that he would come back after Bayern at some point.”

🗣 @JacobsBen on if there is anything in the Harry Kane links to Man Utd: “I think there is. I’m not going to get anyone too excited so early.”

United fans will hope “this idea” leads the Englishman to the Theatre of Dreams.

At Old Trafford, Kane would have the perfect platform to chase down the 48 goals he needs to surpass Alan Shearer as the Premier League’s all-time leading scorer.

With 12 goals in 6 games, one of his brightest starts to a season, Kane still burns with the fire and desire to lead a team to glory. Premier League sides could certainly use his ruthless edge in front of goal.

At United, he could also serve as the ideal mentor for young striker Benjamin Sesko, helping the Slovenian unlock his full potential.

INEOS prepare new contract for Amorim’s general, but only if he agrees to one brutal condition – report

INEOS prepare new contract for Amorim’s general, but only if he agrees to one brutal condition – report

Harry Maguire has entered the final year of his contract with Manchester United, and his future remains up in the air at the moment.

The Englishman’s deal was originally set to expire this summer, but the Red Devils triggered a one-year extension option at the turn of this year.

Maguire has divided opinion among fans ever since walking through the door in the summer of 2019 from Leicester City for a reported £80m fee, which remains a world record fee for a defender.

The price tag hasn’t helped the Englishman’s cause at the Theatre of Dreams, while he has endured a wide range of emotions during his stint so far.

From being handed the armband to helping register the record unbeaten Premier League run under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Maguire enjoyed an impressive start to life at Old Trafford. Unfortunately, he also suffered the humiliation of getting stripped of captaincy under Erik ten Hag and was a step away from exit in the summer of 2023.

However, Maguire fought back and was vital to United last season, even wrestling his way back into Ruben Amorim’s plans and securing a place in the Portuguese’s leadership group in the dressing room.

SNo longer a guaranteed starter this season

Unfortunately, Maguire has struggled for action this season, registering just two starts across competitions, including only one in the Premier League.

With Amorim preferring Matthijs de Ligt as his central centre-back, the Englishman is no longer guaranteed game time at United.

With the likes of Leny Yoro, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Noussair Mazraoui and Ayden Heaven also in the squad, Maguire’s situation may not improve as the season progresses.

However, the veteran defender remains a solid backup option for De Ligt at the moment, while his experience will help the younger members of the squad.

The player, interestingly, could have the chance to enter negotiations with potential suitors at the turn of the year, ahead of a possible Bosman move this summer.

However, it now appears that Maguire will also have the option to continue his stay with the Red Devils if he agrees to a specific requirement.

A highly experienced campaigner

According to journalist Samuel Luckhurst writing for The Sun, United are likely to consider tying Maguire down to a new deal, provided he is willing to take a pay cut.

“United are expected to discuss the possibility of a renewal with Maguire, whose deal also expires at the end of the season.

“Manager Ruben Amorim ensured that United triggered the one-year option in the centre-half’s deal in January, and the club rejected summer enquiries for the 32-year-old.

“Maguire, who became the most expensive defender in the world when he moved to United from Leicester for £80million in 2019, is on £190,000 a week. United may attempt to keep Maguire, who turns 33 in March, on a reduced salary seven years on from his transfer.”

Maguire has registered 251 appearances for United to date, and has won the FA Cup and the EFL Cup so far. Reports have suggested that the Englishman is open to the prospect of staying at Old Trafford.

‘Bomb squad’ reject aims explosive shot at United after a “difficult” summer, INEOS will just be happy he’s gone

When Manchester United signed Antony from Ajax in the summer of 2022, fans would have believed that they had found the long-term solution to their right-wing woes.

The Brazilian forward arrived at the Theatre of Dreams with a big reputation, with the Premier League giants reportedly paying £86m for his signature.

Antony enjoyed a golden start to his Old Trafford tenure, scoring three goals in his first three games. Having caught the imagination of fans, the player struggled to hold on to those high standards but finished the campaign with 10 goals and five assists from 47 games.

However, the 25 year old’s performances plummeted in the following campaigns, and he dropped further down the pecking order following Ruben Amorim’s arrival in November last season. He was subsequently sent out on loan to Real Betis at the turn of the year.

A member of the infamous Bomb Squad

Antony had a decent stay at the Estadio Benito Villamarin, scoring nine goals and setting up five more from 26 games in all competitions. However, it wasn’t enough for Amorim to welcome him back to the squad at Old Trafford.

Over the summer, Antony was part of the “Bomb Squad”, comprising players who were no longer part of the Portuguese head coach’s plans. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia, and Alejandro Garnacho were also part of the infamous group, who were kept away from the first team squad and had to train separately while waiting to be offloaded.

Antony always wanted to return to Betis, and finally secured his desired move before the end of the transfer window. The LaLiga side reportedly paid €25m for his signature, while United are entitled to 50% of the profits derived from his future sale.

The Brazilian left United having managed just 12 goals and five assists from 96 games in all competitions at Old Trafford.

United have already replaced Antony

Antony has already hit the ground running following his return to Real Betis. Earlier this week, the Brazilian scored a goal and set up another in the 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest in the Europa League.

Speaking after the game, as cited by ABC, Antony insisted that he wasn’t at his best because he missed pre-season over the summer.

“I’m a bit tired because I didn’t do pre-season, I didn’t train in Manchester with the team. It was difficult for me. I’m struggling a bit physically, but I’m feeling better every day,” said Antony.

“I’m happy with the assist and the goal, but sad about the draw.”

United are hardly missing the Brazilian this season following the arrival of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford over the summer, comfortably the Red Devils’ best player this season.

United’s summer signing has “impressed in training” but a former Red Devil has sent the club a firm warning – BBC

Manchester United’s summer business concluded with the signing of goalkeeper Senne Lammens in the final echelons of the window, with the Belgian replacing the outgoing Andre Onana at Old Trafford.

However, the former Royal Antwerp stopper is yet to make his debut for United with Altay Bayindir keeping goal for the Manchester Derby defeat and the recent win against Chelsea.

The role of United’s number one is undoubtedly one of the most scrutinized positions in British football and Ruben Amorim clearly has that in mind with his new ‘keeper.

Former United goalie stresses Lammens will need time

Roy Caroll is someone that knows the pressures that come with the role and has urged United fans to be patient with the 23-year-old who will need time to adjust to his new surroundings, as reported by BBC Sport.

The former Northern Ireland international cited David de Gea’s early struggles as an example of what patience can bring with the Spaniard going on to enjoy a fine career in Manchester.

“He’s only 23, please, please give him time and let him grow as a Manchester United goalkeeper. We did it for David de Gea when he came in. He was a very young goalkeeper and a successful one even before he came to Manchester United as well.

“Time is a precious commodity but we need to give it. Every goalkeeper makes mistakes, the key is not to make too many,” said Caroll.

Early signs are good ones

Despite Caroll’s calls for caution, Simon Stone reports the early signs are positive with Lammens impressing in training and pushing for his chance in the first team.

Dislodging Bayindir should not be a dauting prospect for the young ‘keeper with the Turk not exactly exuding confidence in the opening weeks of the new campaign.

Mistakes against Arsenal and Burnley alongside a shaky display in the Derby mean the United umber one shirt is up for grabs an Lammens will surely have his eye on owning it by the end of the season.

Compatriot and former Premier League defender Toby Alderweireld has tipped Lammens for a bright future, describing him as a “perfect fit in England” due to his size and stature.

Amorim has gave no indication of when we’ll see the Belgian make his bow but United fans will be keen to see their newest signing in action, even if it is with the caution their former ‘keeper has urged.

After beating Chelsea at Old Trafford, Amorim is aiming for his first back-to-back wins in the Premier League when he travels to Brentford for the lunchtime kick off, on Saturday.

United are “leading” the race for 23-yo Venezuelan speedster who fits Amorim’s system like a glove – report

Manchester United were linked with multiple names this summer for the right wing-back role.

The Premier League giants already have Diogo Dalot in their squad for the position, while Noussair Mazraoui is an option for the job as well.

Interestingly, Ruben Amorim has mostly used Amad Diallo as a right wing-back during his tenure at the Theatre of Dreams, but was reportedly interested in adding more cover to the area this year.

Inter Milan’s marauding full-back Denzel Dumfries was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford over the summer. Monaco’s Vanderson was also named as a target by various outlets, but the Premier League giants ended the transfer window without signing a new face for the role.

However, it now appears that United are planning to reinforce the position in 2026.

United want Aramburu

According to a report from Fichajes, the English giants have set their sights on Real Sociedad right-back Jon Aramburu. The Venezuelan was briefly a part of the Spanish side’s academy before returning to his country in 2017.

After stints with Deportivo La Guaira and Real Union, Aramburu returned to the Reale Arena in 2023. The 23 year old eventually broke into the senior side and has developed steadily so far.

Last season, he registered a goal and an assist from 49 games across competitions for Sociedad. Interestingly, Aramburu saw a straight red at Old Trafford in the Europa League semi-final second leg, just seven minutes after coming off the bench!

Nevertheless, United are apparently pleased with the Venezuelan’s efforts so far and are leading the race to sign him in 2026.

The report says, “Manchester United emerges as a leading candidate to sign him. They know the value of the full-back and are already studying offers in line with his potential.”

“The English club’s management is analyzing investments to strengthen its defense, and Jon Aramburu fits the bill as a signing for the future.”

Under contract until 2030

Aramburu signed a new deal until 2030 with the San Sebastian club at the start of this year, and Sociedad would ideally want to hold on to him for another campaign.

However, the report adds that the Spanish could let him go for offers above €15m. The asking price makes the player a low-cost option for United, who could take advantage of the situation next year.

While he is not the finished product yet, the Venezuelan has all the ingredients to flourish in Amorim’s system, and could turn out to be a shrewd bit of business.

Dalot has struggled for consistency during his entire stay at Old Trafford, and someone like Aramburu could help keep the Portuguese on their toes as well.

United have revamped their transfer strategy of late and are targeting potential stars alongside established names. Just like Patrick Dorgu, a move for Aramburu could turn out to be a masterstroke from INEOS.

How Bruno reached 100 United goals

It took Bruno Fernandes just over five-and-a-half years to score 100 goals for Manchester United.

The midfielder joined us from Sporting Club in January 2020 and opened his Reds account with a penalty against Watford the following month.

That was one of 12 strikes Bruno would manage in an impressive debut campaign, but he hit more than twice that number in 2020/21 – his most successful individual season with United yet.

Fernandes found the net 28 times under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that year, with 18 of those goals coming in the Premier League.

All 100 Goals: Fernandes the centurion Video

All 100 Goals: Fernandes the centurion

ALL 100 GOALS | Right foot, left foot, headers, penalties: Bruno can do it all! Watch his century of strikes…

More than half of our no.8’s United efforts have arrived in the top-flight – 64, to be exact, with the Portugal international also registering double figures in 2021/22 and 2023/24.

His next most fruitful competition has been the Europa League (16), while Fernandes has also scored goals for United in the Emirates FA Cup (10), Champions League (six) and Carabao Cup (four).

Bruno’s 50th goal for the club arrived in a 3-0 win against Brentford at Old Trafford in May 2022, which was one of 54 celebrated by our home fans.

A further 42 goals came in away games, while Fernandes has also registered four times on neutral ground – twice at Wembley Stadium, in defeats to Chelsea and Manchester City, and twice at Cologne’s RheinEnergieStadion, where the Europa League knockout rounds came to a conclusion five years ago.

Aston Villa are Bruno’s favourite opponents, as he’s been on the scoresheet against the Midlanders on seven occasions.

Everton, Leeds United and Leicester City must also be sick of the sight of our captain, because he’s netted six times against each of them, including a hat-trick against the Elland Road side on the opening day in 2021.

Real Sociedad have also been on the receiving end of a Fernandes treble, while there have been 13 braces.

Incredibly, 39 of Bruno’s 100 goals have come from the penalty spot, and he is officially the deadliest player in our history from 12 yards, while there is an even split in terms of squad number – 50 in the no.18 and 50 since switching to no.8 when Juan Mata left in 2022.

We’re sure that there are many more goals to come from our Portuguese magnifico, who is just the 23rd player in our history to hit a century.

United gain major breakthrough in bid to snap up in-demand defensive colossus – report

United gain major breakthrough in bid to snap up in-demand defensive colossus – report

Manchester United have received a major lifeline in their bid to secure the services of Gleison Bremer from Juventus, according to a fresh update.

United keen on Bremer

United are already bracing for the January transfer window after a busy summer in which they primarily focused on bolstering their attacking department.

The backline is an area of the pitch United could look to address, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the football leadership group keen to ensure Ruben Amorim has the tools to fight for trophies and top honours.

Over the past few days, there has been noise that United have revived their interest in Bremer. United had been linked with Bremer for months before he sustained an ACL injury in October, which effectively rendered him unavailable for transfer.

Having recently returned to action, he is once again attracting overtures, with United among the clubs thought to be weighing up a move.

A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that Juventus have no interest in parting ways with Bremer. The Old Lady will only sanction a sale if they receive “mind-blowing” offers in the region of €70-80m.

However, it has now emerged that the Brazilian centre-back has a release clause that may lower his price tag, and Liverpool are working to edge out rivals in the chase.

Huge Bremer update emerges

According to TuttoJuve, Bremer has a €55m release clause that becomes active between next June and July.

His current terms run until 2029 and Juventus are eager to offer him a new deal and improve his salary, while also removing the release clause. This would put them in a much better negotiating position when suitors like United come calling.

Alternatively, Juventus could resign themselves to losing Bremer just like they have with Dusan Vlahovic.

A separate TuttoJuve report claims that Liverpool are “firmly focused” on Bremer but there is strong competition from United.

Bremer’s preferred destination is still unclear at this stage.

United were ready to submit €30m bid to sign 22-yo star to solve major issue, club hoping to receive €60m – report

Ruben Amorim’s reluctance to hand Senne Lammens a Premier League start suggests the Belgian goalkeeper might not have been his preferred signing.

United waited until deadline day to agree deal with Royal Antwerp for their highly-rated goalkeeper, who was reportedly not scouted with the expectation of becoming the side’s number one goalkeeper from the get-go.

Despite Altay Bayındır’s shaky performances, Amorim has continued to rely on the Turkish goalkeeper, who spent nearly the entirety of his first two seasons at the club on the bench as Andre Onana’s understudy. 

Much has been written about United’s interest in Gianluigi Donnarumma and Emiliano Martinez during the summer transfer window. Now, it has emerged that the Premier League giants also tried to sign another goalkeeper before Lammens.

Manchester United tried to sign Santos

According to Bild, United considered the possibility of signing Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kauã Santos towards the end of the window.

It is understood the 22-year-old Brazilian was on United’s radar last year as well.

This summer, United were reportedly “willing to put €25-30m on the table” to sign the Eintracht shot-stopper.

However, their attempts were snubbed by both the player and the Bundesliga outfit. 

The youngster intends to continue in Germany at this stage of his career, with his contract in Frankfurt due to expire in 2030.

Eintracht have ambitious plans

Eintracht are hoping to make €60m from Santos’ sale in the future, having signed him from Flamengo in 2023.

United might reignite their interest in Santos in the upcoming transfer windows.

Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming United have “prioritised a major goalkeeper signing next year” as Amorim still doesn’t have an outright number one keeper.

Danish legend launches fierce criticism of United for their shocking treatment of Rasmus Hojlund

Former Denmark and Serie A star Martin Jorgensen has fired a stinging accusation against Manchester United regarding Rasmus Hojlund.

Hojlund settling into life at Napoli

On transfer deadline day, United confirmed that Hojlund had sealed a loan move to Napoli.

While Hojlund’s future was questioned in the summer, matters escalated once the campaign got underway and Ruben Amorim opted to cast him aside.

Despite his desire to stay and fight for his place in the team, it was made clear to Hojlund that his services were no longer needed and it would be in his best interests to seek a new adventure. Reluctantly, he agreed to seal a switch to Napoli.

United and Napoli agreed an initial loan, which is expected to convert into an obligation once Champions League qualification is achieved.

Hojlund found the back of the net on his Napoli debut as the defending Serie A champions cruised to a 3-1 victory over Fiorentina. He has so far made three appearances for Napoli across Serie A and the Champions League.

As Hojlund adapts to life at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, former Udinese and Fiorentina player Jorgensen has accused United of failing to play for the striker.

Jorgensen fires accusation at United

Jorgensen said [as quoted by Football Italia], “If he finds a team where he can play and be helped to grow, he can do well.”

“It was difficult in Manchester because the team wasn’t playing for him.”

Jorgensen added, “Napoli is more competitive.”

“With McTominay or De Bruyne, who can also send him through the goal, the way he likes to do.”

Meanwhile, United are back in action on Saturday when they face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium. Kick-off is at 12:30 pm.
