Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko gave Liverpool’s central defenders a tough time at Old Trafford with his impressive hold-up play. Sesko was also in the right place at the right time to take advantage of Liverpool’s chaotic defending and put his side two goals up within the first quarter. The Slovenian was taken off at the break due to a shin injury. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a very promising spell under interim head coach Michael Carrick, underlining that he has what it takes to become United’s long-term number nine. However, INEOS are planning to bring in a goalscorer capable of making an immediate impact. Manchester United keen to sign Harry Kane According to Fussballdaten, Manchester United are poised to test Bayern Munich’s resolve for their talisman Harry Kane. Kane, who has been on United’s radar since his breakthrough at Tottenham Hotspur, still has plenty of admirers at Old Trafford. The 32-year-old is in unstoppable form for Bayern, having scored more than 50 goals across all competitions this season. His ability to drop deep and create chances for his teammates has further cemented his reputation as the most complete striker in Europe. It is claimed United are determined to end their long search for a true number nine with Kane. The Red Devils are understood to be prepared to “stretch their budget to the limit” and make Kane the highest-paid player in the Premier League. The England international allegedly takes home €25 million annually in Munich. He has just over a year left to run on his current contract. Staggering offer needed to seal the deal for Harry Kane Bayern’s public stance is that Kane is not for sale, but the report suggests the exit door could open for a fee in the region of €150m (£129.6m). Chelsea and Barcelona are also supposedly in the race.

United pushing to sign incredible £130m attacker, ready to make him highest-paid star in PL – report
Arne Slot singles out unstoppable United star for special praise after he repeatedly “hurt” Liverpool
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has named a Manchester United star whom his players simply had no answer for during Sunday’s clash at Old Trafford. United beat Liverpool Kobbie Mainoo’s 77th-minute winner not only secured all three points for United against their bitter rivals but also confirmed the team’s place in next season’s Champions League. United started brightly, breaking the deadlock inside six minutes. Matheus Cunha drove a stunning shot from the edge of the area past Freddie Woodman, after his initial attempt was blocked. Benjamin Sesko doubled the Red Devils’ advantage after Woodman bounced Bruno Fernandes’ header off his thigh. Sesko bundled it home from a couple of yards out for his 11th Premier League goal of the campaign. It looked like United were headed for a comfortable victory until Amad’s mistake was punished by Dominik Szoboszlai to halve the deficit. Senne Lammens then turned over possession while trying to play out from the back, allowing a gleeful Cody Gakpo to turn it in from close range and restore parity. But Mainoo had the last laugh, sprinting onto a clearance and firing the ball into the back of the net to cap off a memorable masterclass. While he was denied an assist for Sesko’s goal, Fernandes was as influential as ever and he was pinpointed by Slot as someone who “hurt” Liverpool, especially in transitions. Slot praise The Liverpool boss said, “We weren’t able to control their strengths. We were aware of them – set-pieces and counter-attack. You have to know where to lose the ball if you play against United. They are really strong when they play into the middle.” “They have so many fast players, Bruno Fernandes to hurt you in transition and that’s exactly what happened with the second goal.” Slot added about his side’s woes this season, woes that United only deepened, “That is what happens. We were 2-0 down, came back in the second-half to 2-2 and then we shut off and immediately conceded the goal. I don’t think anyone expected us to lose that game after a 2-2.” “Or maybe you do after the whole of our season. As I’ve shown so many times this season, when we are playing well or we think we are able to win it, we switch off. We had a lot of ball possession, one of their strengths is also defending.” “I tried to play a bit more on both sides with the wingers. We went a bit too much for the middle in the first-half where they can counter attack you. The same issues keep coming back which is not a huge surprise as you don’t have long to fix it during the season.” United are next in action on Saturday when they go away to Sunderland.

“When the coach speaks bad about you…”: United ace responds to Ruben Amorim’s past criticism
Manchester United full-back Patrick Dorgu returned to action in the 3-2 win over Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, 3 May, in the Premier League. The Red Devils were 2-0 up at the break, thanks to goals from Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, but the Merseyside club rallied in the second half to make it 2-2. Caretaker manager Michael Carrick brought on the Dane to replace the misfiring Bryan Mbeumo in the 76th minute, but it was Kobbie Mainoo who scored the winner a minute later. The result helped the Red Devils open up a six-point gap in third place with three games remaining in the season. Dorgu had very little time to have an influence, although fans will be delighted to have him back after an injury ruined his momentum under Carrick. Dorgu’s tryst with Amorim Dorgu was one of former head coach Ruben Amorim’s first signings at United, arriving at the Theatre of Dreams in January 2025. The Portuguese used the Dane mostly in the left-sided wing-back position in his controversial 3-4-3 system. Dorgu did appear at times on the opposite flank, and also covered in attack on a couple of occasions. The 21 year old had a mixed time under Amorim, registering one goal and three assists in 40 games. The Portuguese head coach was sacked by United in January this year, bringing an end to a turbulent 14-month spell that saw a lot of controversies, including public criticism of players. In November 2025, following a 1-0 defeat to Everton, Amorim claimed that Dorgu was nervous every time he touched the ball, stating: “You can feel the anxiety every time Patrick touches the ball. I can feel the anxiety.” Amorim’s departure and Carrick’s subsequent arrival saw United shift to a 4-2-3-1 formation, which revitalised Dorgu. The Dane was deployed in an attacking role by the Englishman, and he responded by scoring in the wins against Manchester City and Arsenal before picking up a hamstring injury. Following his return to full fitness, Dorgu has now responded to Amorim’s comments.

Amorim’s words hurt Dorgu Speaking to The Telegraph ahead of Sunday’s game, Dorgu revealed that Amorim’s words affected him. He said: “It hit me a little bit when Amorim says that because when the coach speaks bad about you [criticises you], it is always going to affect you a little bit.” “I just took it in the best possible way and tried to improve my game. Even before [Amorim] got sacked in the last couple of games, I started to get into a rhythm as people [team-mates] started going to Afcon. I had a good moment.” “I just had to take that confidence into [the regimes of Darren] Fletcher and Carrick. I just tried to play with a bit more confidence and express myself.” The Dane went on to acknowledge that he was suffering from a lack of confidence when the Portuguese made those comments, adding: “I don’t think that was the word he [Amorim] was looking for. Anxious? I don’t think it was that. I just think I didn’t have any confidence and the team was not in a good moment at that time.” “I think he said it at the wrong time because I played well in the national team. I don’t see how I can play well in one and play bad in the other, and all of a sudden I am anxious.” Final Thoughts Dorgu’s return from injury will be a welcome boost to United as they aim to end the season on a high. The Red Devils have already qualified for next season’s Champions League, and securing third place in the Premier League this year would be a massive turnaround from the humiliation of finishing 15th in the last campaign.

Man Utd And Chelsea Are Among 4 Clubs Vying For Striker Who Has Scored 12 Goals In His Last 16 Games
BACK Man Utd are keeping tabs on Roma forward Donyell Malen, according to reports in the Italian media. The 27-year-old only moved to Serie A from Aston Villa on an initial loan deal during the January transfer window, but he has been in sensational form for his new team. Malen has scored 12 times in just 16 appearances for the Giallorossi, and the Corriere Dello Sport (via TMW) claim that his performances have attracted the interest of United and three other teams. Chelsea and Newcastle are also interested in bringing him back to the Premier League after just six months, while Barcelona are seemingly considering him as a potential replacement for Robert Lewandowski. How much would Malen cost? Roma will pay €25m (£22m) to make his move permanent at the end of the season, but it is believed that they won’t even consider selling him for double that price now. That will likely cool any interest in Malen, including from United, who will be devoting a sizeable sum to reinforcing other positions this summer. Man Utd are in the market for a left winger Director of Football Jason Wilcox is said to be keen on adding extra firepower to the forward line, but Malen probably doesn’t fit the profile he is looking for. The Netherlands international can play out wide, but he is usually deployed as a centre-forward, and United are reportedly hoping to bring in a player who generally plays off the left flank. There have been concrete links to another Serie A forward, AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, in recent days. The Portuguese international could be on the market for around £60m. Other names, such as RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande and Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye, have also been mentioned as possible transfer targets. Want more news on Man Utd?

0 key passes, 0 shots, 0% tackles: United loanee puts in anaemic performance in embarrassing loss
Manchester United had one player in loan action on Sunday evening. To find out where all of United’s loanees are plying their trade this season, click here. Jadon Sancho Sancho left the Red Devils on yet another loan at the start of the season and moved to Aston Villa. The winger has not had the best of seasons on an individual level and will definitely depart Old Trafford on a free transfer in the summer. Villa, Red Bull Leipzig and his former side, Borussia Dortmund, have all been linked with a move for the player in recent weeks. Dortmund’s sporting director Ole Book also added fuel to the fire when he praised the quality of the player and highlighted his previous success in Germany. Performance versus Tottenham Hotspur With the second leg of the Europa League semi-final against Nottingham Forest this Thursday, Villa were a much-changed side when they welcomed Tottenham Hotspur to Villa Park. Sancho was given a start and played 85 minutes of a contest in which Villa were second best throughout, losing 1-2. In an anaemic performance, which was matched by his teammates, he did not complete any key passes or a successful cross attempt. He was also rather inaccurate on the ball as he only completed 71% of his passing attempts. His lack of attacking threat in the match was also highlighted by the fact he did not manage any type of shot on goal during his time on the pitch. Sancho also lost his only tackle attempt in the match. What he did do well, though, was winning ground duels, as he won all three that he attempted. He also successfully took on the Tottenham Hotspur defence twice, completing both his dribble attempts. The United winger will hope to see some action against Forest in the huge Europa League semi-final later on this week.

6 key passes, 2 big chances created: United’s creative fulcrum helps lead side to massive victory over Liverpool
Manchester United secured a massive victory over Liverpool to guarantee Champions League football for next season. Story of the match The 3-2 victory was sealed after Kobbie Mainoo fired in a late winner. United had taken control of the game early on when Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko scored to give the home side a 2-0 lead. Nonetheless, they were pegged back at the start of the second half after two big errors from Amad and then Senne Lammens. Bruno Fernandes Strangely, Bruno Fernandes did not score a goal or provide an assist in the game but was still pivotal to the performance. His header set up Sesko to score but did not count as an assist as Liverpool goalkeeper Freddie Woodman saved the effort into the Slovenian striker’s path. In the match, Fernandes made six key passes and created two big chances. The Portugal international also completed two of his four cross attempts. His passing was not the most accurate, as he only managed to complete 78% of his passes, but as usual, he was charged with trying to make things happen and lead the counter-attack. He also had two shots on goal, one that hit the target and forced the visiting goalkeeper into a save. As usual, Fernandes helped out defensively with one interception and two clearances during the game. The attacking midfielder did have a quiet game in terms of duels, though, as he won just one of his four ground duels. The Portuguese star is still on 19 Premier League assists and has three games remaining to make the two he needs to break Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne’s record of 20.

United in best position to sign perfect Casemiro replacement after intensifying talks in recent days – report
Manchester United’s midfield won them all three points against Liverpool in a game marred by individual errors. All five goals at Old Trafford were arguably the result of defensive blunders rather than the quality of either attack. However, it was the physicality and resilience of United’s midfield that proved decisive on a topsy-turvy evening. Reports in Italy now suggest that United are pushing to sign a Brazilian midfield warrior who would add even more steel to the middle of the park. Manchester United pushing to sign Ederson According to Calciomercato.it, Manchester United have intensified contact with Atalanta midfielder Ederson in recent days. The 26-year-old Brazilian workhorse reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Atletico Madrid earlier this year. However, the La Liga giants have not managed to get any closer to the Serie A side’s asking price, which is thought to be between €45m and €50m (£38.90-£43.1m). It is claimed that United are willing to take advantage of Atletico’s hesitation, partly because they have the “resources” to meet Atalanta’s demands. The six-foot-tall midfielder is a strong tackler, whose combative style of play, boxy frame, and willingness to fight for every ball make him a very solid defensive midfielder. Manchester United in pole position for Ederson A separate report from TuttoJuve claims that Atalanta’s stance has deterred several suitors, including Juventus. It is believed United are the club with the “best chance” of landing Ederson, who has emerged as the “perfect player” in their search for Casemiro’s successor. He is entering the final 12 months of his contract in Bergamo. Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming United’s director of football, Jason Wilcox, is an admirer of Ederson. Meanwhile, Casemiro is allegedly in talks with Inter Miami over a summer move. Despite interest from Saudi Arabia, the Major League Soccer outfit is thought to be his preferred destination.

“It’s fantastic”: Keane lauds rebirth of Man United starlet after Liverpool heroics
Manchester United secured a huge 3-2 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday. Vital victory The victory meant that United have now qualified for next season’s Champions League. With Aston Villa also losing, United now have a six-point lead in third place with only nine points left to play for. Goals from Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko gave United the perfect start, but the Red Devils were pegged back at the start of the second half. Nonetheless, Kobbie Mainoo, who signed a new contract earlier last week, scored a sublime winner to send Old Trafford into raptures. Roy Keane on Mainoo Former United captain Roy Keane was speaking to Sky Sports after the game and praised the influence of Michael Carrick’s matchwinner. Commenting on the time he spent out of the team under Ruben Amorim, Keane claimed, “it’s a great moment for him. He’s had his challenges over the last few months. That’s the journey of any young player. He’s taken his opportunity. To score the winning goal for any local kid, it’s fantastic.” Keane also stressed that the last few months will have been a learning curve for him, explaining, “the last six months will be quite good for him. For a young player at a big club, he comes on the scene and getting all the headlines, doing well and then getting involved with England. The last few months, people have been talking about him going out on loan, but I always said that sometimes you have to sit and learn, watch the game and the team.” The Irishman also stated that Mainoo will have learnt more from the last few months when he was not playing than when he first broke into the side. Keane continued, “he’s had to mature, he’s got his new deal, he’s had to learn his trade. He’s a young player, he’s still learning, he’s got years before he even peaks.” The former midfielder also said that Mainoo will benefit from the experience around him in the team and learn from his teammates moving forward. Mainoo will next be in action this coming Saturday when United travel to the Stadium of Light to face Sunderland.

United goalscorer pinpoints Carrick’s “magic” traits that have helped turn the club’s season around
Manchester United secured Champions League football in style, beating fierce rivals Liverpool 3-2 at Old Trafford on Sunday. It was a fantastic first half from the hosts, as they dominated the visitors and took a commanding 2-0 lead into the break, courtesy of goals from Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko. However, a couple of silly errors from Amad and Senne Lammens allowed the Merseysiders to equalise, and just when it looked like the away side were taking control of the match, up stepped Kobbie Mainoo. The Englishman’s winner ensured the three points, and it meant the Red Devils completed a Premier League double over Liverpool for the first time in a decade. Michael Carrick earns Matheus Cunha praise From being sixth in January when Ruben Amorim was sacked, to now being third and qualifying for Europe’s premier club competition with three games left to play represents an incredible turnaround. Michael Carrick deserves plaudits for engineering United’s resurgence, and goalscorer Matheus Cunha lavished praise on the caretaker head coach following Sunday’s famous win. Comparing the current head coach with legendary United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, the Brazilian pinpointed his traits that have brought the 20-time English league champions so much success in such a short span of time. “We’re learning so much, of course. When Michael [Carrick] came, he came with magic! [Sir] Alex Ferguson vibes,” the attacking midfielder was quoted as saying by The Daily Mail. Biggest game in England “He talks so much about his team, the conquering team. This feeling comes to us. We feel so happy with the information, we focus so hard to reach the objective. “At the end of the day, this is just the start of the journey, it’s the beginning – a beautiful beginning!” The former Wolves ace was delighted with the team’s first-half showing, and even though United did wobble in the second half, their resilience shone through and in the end, they deserved the win. “I think this week was very important. It’s the biggest game in England and everybody is so motivated. When we started the game, I think we were there. Matheus Cunha on his goal “We were so focused to do what we trained do. First half we did that. I think it’s a journey we expected to come. “It’s unbelievable. These kind of games are the ones anyone wants to play. When we win, I think it feels the best possible way.” On his goal, the United No.10 revealed that his teammates have been joking about him not finding the back of the net often enough. He was delighted to get on the scoresheet and, while he admitted he got lucky with the deflection, he will gladly accept it, his ninth of the Premier League season. “The guys come to me and joke so much inside of the locker room – I think I was lucky to finish the play there. I’m happy to strike it and be lucky. The ball is in the net, that’s the only thing that’s important.” Matheus Cunha will be hoping to get on the scoresheet before the campaign concludes in order to enter double figures in his debut season at Old Trafford.

Crucial health update emerges on Sir Alex after hospital scare before win over Liverpool – report
An extremely positive update has been provided on the situation of legendary Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson after he was taken to hospital just before the 3-2 win against Liverpool. Sir Alex taken to hospital Just before United vs. Liverpool kicked off, it emerged that Sir Alex was taken to hospital in an ambulance from the tunnel area of Old Trafford. It’s said that the Scot felt unwell and was attended to by medics. According to the BBC, the hospital visit was precautionary in nature, not a response to an emergency situation. Club chiefs are said to be optimistic that he will be fit enough to return home. Just hours before the game kicked off on Sunday, Sir Alex was seen with guests at the stadium. Dr Aseem Malhotra, a consultant cardiologist, posted a picture on X with the caption, “A privilege, honour and dream come true to be invited to spend some quality time with Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of the game against Liverpool today at Old Trafford.” A privilege, honour and dream come true to be invited to spend some quality time with Sir Alex Ferguson ahead of the game against Liverpool today at old Trafford. pic.twitter.com/Id5EFLlNBK — Dr Aseem Malhotra (@DrAseemMalhotra) May 3, 2026 Speaking to reporters after the final whistle, Carrick conveyed his best wishes to his former boss while acknowledging that the events had touched him personally. He also expressed hope that the victory would give Sir Alex a lift. Health update Jamie Jackson of The Guardian has given an update on Sir Alex. According to Jackson, “Sir Alex Ferguson is fine after being taken ill and to hospital, i am told…” Sir Alex Ferguson is fine after being taken ill and to hospital, i am told… — jamie jackson (@JamieJackson___) May 3, 2026 This comes as very good news and hopefully, we will see the 84-year-old back at the Theatre of Dreams as soon as possible. Sir Alex’s illustrious managerial career at United yielded a staggering 38 trophies over 27 hugely successful years, ending in 2013. He joined the Red Devils in 1986 and was in charge for 1,500 games, leading United to 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League triumphs.
