Manchester United beat bitter rivals Liverpool 3-2 at Old Trafford. Here are our player ratings from the game. (A score of 6 is around average) Senne Lammens 3 – Had nothing to do in the first half, but made a big mistake for Liverpool’s equaliser, passing the ball straight to an opposition player before Cody Gakpo easily buried it into the back of the net. Diogo Dalot 6 – Solid defensively. Went about his job with minimal fuss. Harry Maguire 6 – Great block to keep Florian Wirtz’s effort from troubling Lammens, although it came at some personal expense as it struck him squarely on the head. Mostly ok but should have perhaps engaged Dominik Szoboszlai in the run-up to his goal. Ayden Heaven 7.5 – Didn’t look one bit out of place in a charged contest. An astute performance and has barely put a foot wrong since stepping into the team. Luke Shaw 6.5 – Rendered Liverpool’s right side ineffective. Superb cross for goal. Casemiro 6 – His swansong rolls on! Battled hard in midfield and was a threat on goal, especially coming close in the second half when he got on the end of a cross from Bruno Fernandes, but he couldn’t quite beat the goalkeeper. Kobbie Mainoo 9 – Masterclass! Excellent finish to restore United’s advantage, to cap off what was a sensational display in the middle of the park. Liverpool were no match for him. The very picture of signature calm and composure. Bruno Fernandes 7 – Brilliant cross into the path of Benjamin Sesko for United’s second of the game. At the heart of United’s attacking forays, and unlucky not to get an assist. Bryan Mbeumo 4 – Started brightly but his level dropped as the game proceeded. Multiple heavy touches and poor passes. Can’t get out of his current bad patch of form. Matheus Cunha 8 – Another massive goal in a big game! Broke the deadlock with a composed finish. A constant threat on the left, and his hold-up play was superb. Benjamin Sesko 7.5 – Showed great desire and determination for his goal. His 11th of the campaign. Substitutes Amad 2 – Gave the ball away almost immediately upon his introduction at the interval, leading to a Liverpool goal. Another who is in torrid form. Patrick Dorgu 6 – Nice to have him back after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Positive when he was brought on, breaking into the box and looking to cross the ball. Joshua Zirkzee 5 – On for the dying embers. Leny Yoro 5 – Same as Zirkzee Featured image by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images The Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.

Cunha and Heaven were amazing, but this United star was on another planet vs Liverpool
Confirmed United XI vs Liverpool: Cunha returns; Sesko, Shaw both fit after scare
Benjamin Sesko and Luke Shaw both play for Manchester United against Liverpool today, despite reports that both were doubtful for the game. Matheus Cunha is also available again, having missed the Brentford match with a groin injury. Here is the confirmed starting XI for today’s game. Defence Senne Lammens is in goal. The back four are Diogo Dalot, Harry Maguire, Ayden Heaven and Shaw. Matthijs de Ligt has still not recovered from his long-standing back injury, while Lisandro Martinez serves the final game of his three-match suspension. Midfield and attack Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo once again form the dual pivot in midfield. Ahead of them, Bruno Fernandes is in the central attacking midfield role, with Bryan Mbeumo on the right and Cunha on the left. Sesko takes his place up front. Substitutes On the bench today are Altay Bayindir, Noussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Manuel Ugarte, Mason Mount, Amad and Joshua Zirkzee. Kick-off at Old Trafford is at 3.30pm BST. A point for United will secure them Champions League football for next season, regardless of other results. A win would mean they complete the double over their arch rivals for the first time in a decade. It would also lift the Red Devils six points clear of the Anfield men, with only three games left to play in the race to finish third in the Premier League.

United identify highly acclaimed Bayern figure for major role, he’s already worked with Carrick – report
Manchester United are determined to get their managerial appointment right this summer after a couple of false starts under INEOS. The Red Devils handed the reins of the first team to caretaker manager Michael Carrick after a turbulent 14-month run under former head coach Ruben Amorim. The Englishman has masterminded an impressive turnaround at Old Trafford, helping the club climb to third in the Premier League table after 34 games. United have registered nine wins and just two defeats under the former midfielder, and are on course to complete a blockbuster return to the Champions League next season. The English giants are expected to appoint a permanent manager at the end of the campaign, although Carrick remains an option for the job. A recent report relayed by The Peoples Person states that his chances of securing the full-time position could also depend on the future of his assistant, Steve Holland.

While the Red Devils are yet to make a decision on the matter, it now appears that they are already working to strengthen the coaching team ahead of the new season. United want Aaron Danks According to TEAMtalk, Carrick has identified Bayern Munich assistant manager Aaron Danks as an option to upgrade his backroom team if he continues in his position. The report states: “Manchester United are keeping close tabs on Bayern Munich assistant Aaron Danks, with TEAMtalk able to reveal that Michael Carrick wants him as part of his long-term coaching staff should he land the job permanently at Old Trafford.” Danks arrived at the Allianz Arena to join Vincent Kompany’s staff in 2024, and the pair also worked together at Anderlecht in 2021. The Englishman has an enviable CV, having spent time in England working under Dean Smith, Steven Gerrard and Unai Emery at Aston Villa. Danks also has a history with Carrick, having joined his coaching staff at Middlesbrough in December 2022 and becoming a trusted associate before leaving for Bayern. He has added to his reputation during his time at the Allianz Arena and was also in the news earlier this week. With Kompany banished to the stands, Danks was in charge on the sidelines during the Bavarians’ highly entertaining 5-4 defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Champions League. United are certainly impressed by what they have seen so far, and are now eager to take him back to the Premier League. Background checks in place The report from TEAMtalk adds that United have already carried out background checks on Danks ahead of a possible move this summer. It states: “Sources understands that Man Utd have already carried out background work on Danks and have been impressed by their findings.” “Indeed, his tactical acumen, adaptability and experience working across multiple elite environments have all been noted.” “Sources suggest this is part of a wider process at United, who are conducting due diligence on potential coaching additions should Carrick be handed the role on a full-time basis.” The report, however, confirms that no formal approach has been made so far for the Englishman. Final Thoughts United have followed a well-planned approach in squad reinforcements of late, and securing the services of Danks could be another step in the right direction. All eyes will now be on the permanent appointment process, which could be the most important decision of INEOS’ tenure.

Michael Carrick’s appointment only reduced his minutes, with four attackers (the three new signings plus Amad Diallo) vying for three starting roles.Therefore, most sources in England and Italy are expecting Zirkzee to leave Man Utd in the summer, as a host of top Serie A clubs have registered their interest in the benchwarmer.But during his appearance on the Here We Go podcast, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano insisted that the attacker’s departure is not a foregone conclusion just yet.The transfer market insider explained that Zirkzee ‘loves’ being at MUFC, and remains determined to succeed at the club.

United prepared to make audacious £173m move to sign two superstars from same PL club – report
Manchester United are poised for a “crazy” summer transfer window ahead of next season. United are yet to make a final decision on their permanent head coach, but transfer plans are already well underway. Recently, ESPN reported that there is a feeling internally that getting the recruitment drive right is even more important than the appointment of the next head coach. A report in Italy suggests that United have set their sights on two of Nottingham Forest’s best players. Manchester United want Nottingham Forest duo According to TuttoJuve, Manchester United are ready to “ignite” the market with a €200 million (£172.7m) investment to sign Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest. United’s priority is thought to be rebuilding their midfield, with Casemiro set to depart at the end of the season. In that regard, Anderson, 23, is among their top targets. The all-action midfielder is in exceptional form for Forest and is expected to be an important part of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the World Cup. “The midfielder is considered the ideal heir to the Red Devils’ core game,” the report states. Anderson’s valuation is around €120m (£103.6m), “a figure that reflects his growing influence both at club and country.” Potential Bruno Fernandes replacement Gibbs-White is also a major United target. The prolific Englishman is brilliantly spearheading Forest’s attack, having shown his class as both an attacking midfielder and a left-sided forward. It is understood United are willing to spend around €80m (£69m) to secure the services of the 26-year-old dribbling wizard, who is “capable of making a difference between the lines.” Gibbs-White’s versatility and intensity out of possession make him a very appealing target for United, who would also be able to use him as a backup to the ageing Bruno Fernandes. However, despite United’s ambitious plans, the negotiations with Forest are expected to be “complex”, with the Premier League side reluctant to lose their “jewels”.

PL Boss explains his “tough” treatment of 19-yo United target after recent masterclass
Manchester United’s pursuit of a new left-back has seen them linked with a surprise move for Arsenal prodigy Myles Lewis-Skelly. The Red Devils are laying down succession plans for Luke Shaw, who has been in impressive form this season. The Englishman has started every Premier League game this campaign, but he will turn 31 this summer. His contract is due to expire at the end of next season, and he is yet to sign a new deal. While a renewal cannot be entirely ruled out, the Red Devils could be tempted to solidify the position with fresh blood, given Shaw’s history of fitness issues. Tyrell Malacia, meanwhile, is a forgotten man at Old Trafford and is expected to leave this summer. Patrick Dorgu is an option for the job, but he has been excellent in a more attacking role under Carrick, which hints at the possibility of a position change. Lewis-Skelly’s future at the Emirates has been subject to speculation of late, and recent reports have stated that United are already planning to prise him away. Versatile modern full-back Lewis-Skelly broke into the senior side last season, scoring one goal and setting up three more in 42 games across all competitions. The 19 year old played mostly at left-back, although he is capable enough to operate in midfield as well. This season, however, the Englishman has struggled for game time, with Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori ahead of him in Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s pecking order. Lewis-Skelly has registered four assists in 31 appearances, 15 of which have been starts.

The player is understandably frustrated by the situation, and his future remains up in the air. A previous report relayed by The Peoples Person suggests that Arsenal are willing to offload Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri for a combined fee of £100 million this summer. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta started the English full-back in midfield against Fulham on Saturday, and it turned out to be a masterstroke. Lewis-Skelly was excellent in the position, helping secure a 3-0 win at the Emirates and further highlighting his immense potential. Arteta admits tough Lewis-Skelly stance Speaking after the win, Arteta acknowledged that he had been tough on Lewis-Skelly. He said: “He fully deserves it. I’ve been tough on him. He had a spectacular season last year when he jumped into the first team.” “He had some difficult moments after that, but he stayed very humble, very focused, very aligned with what we wanted to do, and I knew he was ready. He’s been showing in training every day the opportunities that he had to play. He’s done it and today he really stepped up and I thought he had an incredible performance.” When asked why he had not used the Englishman in midfield, the Spanish manager added: “Because probably I don’t have a clue and maybe I should have done it earlier, I don’t know. But I have to do things when I believe that the player is ready, the team is ready and the opponent is the right one to play with him in that position.” “We’ve done it today, it’s the first time. It was a big risk because I knew what was going to happen, if he wasn’t this great, we would have lost the game. How do you play a kid at this age, in this scenario, in a position that he hasn’t played all season? I knew that but I had the feeling that it was the right game for him.” Final Thoughts Lewis-Skelly’s versatility makes him an enticing option for United, as both the midfield and the left-back positions require more cover this summer. The Englishman matches the Red Devils’ youth-centric transfer policy, and could also be a fine long-term replacement for Shaw.

Rio Ferdinand opens up on Sir Alex Ferguson’s “quite simple” advice at United that shaped his career
Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has left a lasting impression at Old Trafford. The Scot took the Red Devils to the pinnacle of success during his 26-year reign at the Theatre of Dreams. His time was marked not just by success, but also by consistency, as the English giants never finished outside the top three in the Premier League. Sir Alex also built several trophy-winning teams, blending the right mix of youth and experience into the cauldron to brew that perfect squad. It is little wonder then that United became the first English team to win the treble under his reign. The legendary Scot powered the Red Devils to a record 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies, along with a host of other silverware, during his glorious reign. But Sir Alex did not just win silverware; he also transformed the lives of many players, setting and holding them to standards that helped them realise their potential. Former United defender Rio Ferdinand has now shared an insight into Sir Alex’s winning mentality. Hard work the only route to success Speaking to The i Paper, Ferdinand revealed the best advice he received from the legendary Scot. He said: “It was the first thing he said to me, actually. I remember we were sat in his office. It was quite simple, really – he told me to work hard.” “I’d been given a great opportunity. People would give their right arm, a limb, to go and put the shirt on and play football. And I carried that with me throughout my whole career, to be a professional is a privilege.” “The ones that think they’ve made it don’t last long at the top. Just keep maintaining that hunger and that desire and that kind of attitude of ‘I haven’t made it yet’. There’s always things to learn. So to rest on your laurels is something that I wasn’t able to do. I didn’t let myself slip into that mindset.” Ferdinand made 432 appearances under Sir Alex, and even chipped in with eight goals and nine assists. One of those goals, of course, was famously scored in October 2006 in the 2-0 win against Liverpool, whom the Red Devils face on Sunday, 3 March, in the league. United still searching for Sir Alex’s successor More than a decade after the legendary Scot’s retirement, United are yet to find his able heir. There have been moments under several managers in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era that had filled fans with optimism. However, they have all proven to be false dawns, with the Red Devils currently staring ahead to another managerial appointment. Former head coach Ruben Amorim was relieved of his duties in January this year following a dismal 14-month spell. Michael Carrick has been put in charge as caretaker manager until the end of the season, when a permanent appointment is due. The Englishman, however, has been a revelation so far, picking up nine wins in 13 games and helping United sit third in the league table after 34 games.

A win on Sunday against their bitter rivals could almost guarantee a top-four finish and help secure Champions League football for next season. That could be a tremendous boost to the club’s summer plans and also put Carrick in a strong position in the race for the permanent job. Final Thoughts Sir Alex remains a source of comfort for long-term United fans, who can revel in a whiff of nostalgia every time the going gets tough. However, the Red Devils must step up their pursuit of glory, which is why this summer’s transfer window could be one of the most important in the club’s recent history.
