Manchester United Women pulled off a sensational comeback against Tottenham Hotspur to draw 3-3. First half United started well at the Progress with Unity Stadium and Melvine Malard’s effort was tipped over by Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Lize Kop. On nine minutes, Dominique Janssen fired a free kick wide of the post and the scores stayed level. Next it was Jess Park’s turn, but her curling effort was tipped wide of the post as Marc Skinner’s side piled on the pressure. After 25 minutes, Hinata Miyazawa crashed a fierce drive against the crossbar when left in acres of space. Massively against the run of play, Tottenham Hotspur found the opener through Bethany England. Amanda Nilden picked up the ball and dinked a cross into the box for England, who headed past Phallon Tullis-Joyce. United almost responded after 40 minutes, when a shot from Malard crashed off the crossbar once again. Incredibly, just one minute later, United found the post again as Tottenham Hotspur’s goal lived a charmed life. Maya Le Tissier smashed a header off the post. Amazingly, Tottenham Hotspur went up the other end and scored their second in spite of incredible pressure from the hosts. Eveliina Summanen headed in from an Ashleigh Neville cross to shock the home crowd. Second half United continued to push in the second half but their terrible luck continued as the visitors somehow found themselves 3-0 up after the hour mark. Olivia Holdt slid the ball across to Martha Thomas, who made no mistake against her former side. 3-0. United looked down and out. Nonetheless, this side has something special about them and never know when they are beaten. After 74 minutes, Malard’s acrobatic effort was cleared but landed to Ella Toone, who expertly hooked the ball into the net to give the home crowd hope. Just four minutes later, the hosts hit the crossbar for the fourth time in the match, as Toone smashed a close-range effort against the woodwork. After 82 minutes, Fridolina Rolfo fired home United’s second of the game after Malard and Park had failed to convert their chances. Malard almost grabbed an incredible equaliser but her effort was cleared off the line by Molly Bartrip. The game ticked into added time and it looked like United’s brave fight would be in vain. Luckily, Rolfo had other ideas and she tapped in the hosts’ third with seconds left in the match. The full-time whistle blew and United dropped to fourth in the table. Nonetheless, Skinner will be delighted with the amazing fight demonstrated by his team ahead of Champions League and League Cup action before the Christmas break.

The 20-year-old has done quite well since joining Sunderland, and he has attracted the attention of Chelsea as well. According to Sacha Tavolieri, Manchester United wanted to sign the player at the start of the season, and they initiated contact as well. However, they were not able to get the deal done.Man United eyeing Noah SadikiThey are keeping tabs on his progress, and they could look to make a move for him in future. Sunderland paid £15 million for him, and they will look to demand a premium for him if any club comes calling. It is no secret that Manchester United need more physicality and defensive cover in the middle of the park. Sadiki could be the ideal fit for them. He has the physicality and technical attributes for English football, and he has done quite well in the Premier League.

It remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official proposal at the end of the season. Sunderland are fighting for a respectable position in the table, and they will not want to sell a key player in the middle of the season. Any move might have to wait until the summer transfer window.Chelsea are looking to add more quality in the midfield as well, and they will be an attractive destination.

If he is sold in the near future, Manchester United would be interested in him, as per Fichajes. They are closely monitoring his progress.

Insider has heard “whispers” that “squandered talent” from Man United could be heading to rival club
A detailed view of a corner flag inside the stadium. (Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images) Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has struggled for regular opportunities at Old Trafford, and he has been linked with a move away from the club.The player has been linked with Chelsea in recent times, and former Everton CEO Keith Wyness believes that the player could be headed to the London club. Mainoo has been a target for Napoli as well.The 20-year-old is highly rated across England, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. However, he is simply not an important player for Ruben Amorim. It would be ideal for him to move on and join a club where he will get opportunities. It will be interesting to see if he can reinvent himself at Chelsea.Kobbie Mainoo set for exit As per Football Insider, Keith Wyness has revealed: “I think it’s very unfair and I think that Mainoo, look, he’s a squandered talent in that sense. I just don’t think he’s, for some reason, he hasn’t caught Amorim’s eye. He thinks he doesn’t fit the style. I think that they decided that Adam Wharton is going to be one of their targets and I think that Mainoo may find himself reinventing himself at Chelsea. “That’s where I see the situation going and that’s the whispers I’ve been hearing. I think it would be good for Mainoo. I think he needs to get out of there and move forward.” Can Mainoo succeed at Chelsea? Kobbie Mainoo looks glum-faced during Manchester United game. (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) There is no doubt that the young midfielder is a phenomenal talent, and if Chelsea manages to get the best out of him, Manchester United could end up regretting their decision.It remains to be seen whether Chelsea comes forward with an offer to get the deal done in the months. The young midfielder will look to get his career back on track and play regularly. With the World Cup coming up in 2026, his chance of cementing his place in the England squad is in real Jeopardy due to the lack of time. Ideally, the midfielder should look to secure an exit from Manchester United in January, so that he can play regularly during the second half of the campaign.
REPORT: Man Utd Are ‘Fighting’ Chelsea For Cheaper Carlos Baleba Alternative
BACK David Tully Dec 14th 2025 Man Utd are weighing up a potential move for Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki, according to reports in Switzerland. The 20-year-old only joined the Black Cats from Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise for €17m back in July, but it appears as if he has already caught the attention of other Premier League clubs. Sky Sports Switzerland reporter Sacha Tavolieri claims that the Red Devils will be “fighting” Chelsea for Sadiki’s signature. The Blues are said to have made formal enquiries following Sunderland’s win at Stamford Bridge back in October. United, meanwhile, have been sending scouts to monitor Sadiki’s progress since the beginning of the campaign. Sadiki is regarded as a cheaper option than Baleba While the Republic of Congo international will cost considerably more than what Sunderland paid for him in the summer, it’s unlikely that his asking price will top Brighton’s valuation of Carlos Baleba Tavolieri suggests Sadiki is among the alternatives that Director of Football Jason Wilcox is looking at ahead of the January transfer window. Signing a midfielder is the No.1 priority for Man Utd Sadiki and Baleba are by no means the only targets the Red Devils are considering to strengthen their options in the middle of the park. Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton, Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson, Olympiakos’s Christos Mouzaktis, Wolves’ Joao Gomes and Atletico Madrid’s Conor Gallagher are also believed to be on the club’s radar. All of these players have different price tags so a lot will hinge on the transfer budget for January. That may also determine how high up Sadiki is on the shortlist. He would probably be cheaper than Anderson and Wharton, in addition to Baleba, but he may cost more than Mouzakitis and Gallagher, who are believed to be valued at around €30m (£26m).

Amorim fires demand to his players over key thing they must nail to obliterate Bournemouth
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has urged his stars to do one thing that will guarantee them a victory against Bournemouth. United looking to kick on Having beaten Wolverhampton Wanderers last week, United will undoubtedly be eager to make it back-to-back Premier League victories when they come up against Bournemouth on Monday evening. United are within touching distance of the top-four places and a win would significantly boost their bid to secure Champions League football at the end of the season. The Red Devils are undoubtedly favourites. In addition to playing in front of their home support, they’re also playing against a Bournemouth side that is in poor form. The Cherries have not tasted a win in their last six Premier League fixtures. They’ve lost four games during this run. However, Amorim is under no illusions about the threat posed by Andoni Iraola’s men. Speaking to club media, Amorim also urged his players to play with more courage at Old Trafford, arguing that it is a responsibility and catalyst for success. Amorim makes demand The Portuguese coach said, “Everyone knows that when you play at Old Trafford, all the responsibility is on us. So it’s a different game completely. So we have the responsibility of winning and playing well.” “[Bournemouth have] a lot of intensity, quality in the final third, [win] a lot of duels, and have quality on set-pieces also, so it’s one more Premier League game that we want to win, especially at home, to have that feeling of winning at home back. So it’s a big match on Monday.” He added about Bournemouth, “I don’t think they are more dangerous now; they are always dangerous.” “I just look at – more than the results, because that can change, and we are proof of that – the way they play the game, and the quality that they have and the manager that they have.” Amorim also highlighted United’s wanting defensive record. While the 20-time English champions have significantly improved going forward, they still concede an unhealthy number of goals. Amorim vowed to fix this. “I think we are scoring goals but we are suffering so many goals [too], and we will try to find the solutions. We need to press better, we need to protect our goal better, because we are not suffering a lot of shots in the last games, I think. We are improving on that. But we know that any opportunity, we are suffering a goal.” “So we want to continue to score goals but focus on not suffering [goals] – that is a key point to win games.” United vs. Bournemouth kicks off at 8pm.

United star teases ex-partner in crime reunion with four-word preview ahead of Bournemouth clash
Manchester United defender Leny Yoro has revealed how he feels about facing former Lille teammate Bafode Diakite, who now plays for Bournemouth, ahead of Monday’s clash. United looking for back-to-back wins Having beaten Wolverhampton Wanderers last week, United will undoubtedly be looking to make it two consecutive Premier League wins for just the second time this season when they host Bournemouth. A win would put the Red Devils within touching distance of the guaranteed Champions League positions. United are poised to face a Bournemouth team that has endured a drastic decline over the past few weeks. Andoni Iraola’s men were up to second place in the league standings as recently as late October, but they have not won any of their last six games in the top flight. The Cherries have been defeated four times during this run. Considering the contest will be at home and United are in much better form, anything short of all three points will almost certainly be considered a huge disappointment Ahead of the fixture, Yoro spoke to club media and looked ahead at his upcoming reunion with Diakite. The pair turned out 35 times together during their time at Lille before swapping French football for the Premier League. The defender has made 12 appearances for Bournemouth this term. Yoro anticipating Lille reunion with Diakite Yoro said “it will be funny” to compete against his former defensive partner. The United star remarked, “Of course, we still have good relations. We played together in Lille.” “He’s a really top player and also a really good guy.” “So, it will be funny to face him, I’m going to say, but he knows already we cannot give anything to each other. It will be a tough game also.” “It will be good to face him.” On facing Bournemouth, Yoro explained, “Yeah, it’s good for us also to have these types of games. Everyone likes these games and to watch these games. Let’s do it.” United vs. Bournemouth kicks off at 8pm.
