‘Bruno is not going anywhere’

Ruben Amorim has shot down speculation linking Bruno Fernandes with a move to Real Madrid.

A story appeared in one of the weekend gossip columns suggesting Real Madrid were admirers of our in-form skipper, who will lead the team into battle at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.

After Fernandes admitted he previously had offers to move on, only to commit his future to the Reds by signing a new long-term contract, the subject was raised in the press conference to preview the Premier League clash at The City Ground.

Ruben was happy to refute any suggestion that Bruno could leave, explaining how our no.8 is a fan of the club and has no desire to seek pastures new: “No, it’s not going to happen.”

When asked if United can satisfy the Portugal international’s thirst for more silverware, his fellow countryman replied: “That is the challenge. I want Bruno here because like I said, maybe in the lowest moments of our season, we want to win the Premier League again.

“So we want the best players to continue with us. He’s 29 [30], I think, but he’s still so young because he plays 50, 55 games every season.

“Between assists and goals, he’s there for 30 [of them], at least. So he’s the type of player that we want here, he’s not going anywhere.”

When pressed if he knew Bruno’s stance on the matter by having conversations with the captain, Ruben reiterated that the player is dedicated to achieving more success with the club, after lifting the Carabao Cup and Emirates FA Cup in the past two seasons.

“We are in control of the situation,” he insisted. “And I feel that he’s really happy here, especially because he understands what we want to do.

“And then I think he’s one more supporter of Manchester United and he really feels it. Sometimes the frustration that you see, everybody sees and says that maybe it’s not a good thing in a captain. It’s a sign that he wants this so bad.

“So this is the kind of player that we want, and he’s not going anywhere because I already told him [so]!”

U18s: Aston Villa 1 United 1 (3-1 on pens)

Monday 31 March 2025 22:06

Manchester United’s Under-18s suffered FA Youth Cup heartbreak as their fantastic run ended with semi-final defeat at Aston Villa on Monday night.

Adam Lawrence’s young Reds had done the club proud in a highly entertaining set of games, including five-goal wins over Coventry City, Preston North End and Chelsea before an extra-time triumph at Arsenal.

However, having initially come from behind at Villa Park, our boys were beaten on penalties following another tight game which required an additional 30 minutes to determine the winner.

Legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson was present, as well as more than 1000 travelling United fans whose immense support was hugely appreciated by players and staff alike.

Villa will now play the winner of Watford v Manchester City in the final. Congratulations to Villa and commiserations to our young players, who we have no doubt will come out of this experience stronger as they continue their development. The U18s are back in action on Saturday against Leeds at Carrington. The match is live on MUTV.

Neither side had settled when the hosts were more alive to a loose ball to take a fourth-minute lead. Villa captain Aidan Borland’s right-footed free-kick took a fortunate deflection, but it still required quick thinking and reactions, and Trai-Varn Mulley showed both of those to pounce and poke home first time past Will Murdock.

United showed mental resilience to calm the game and immediately gain some control. Jack Fletcher’s half-volley attempt was blocked and Chido Obi struck well wide from long range before converting successfully, but a second after the whistle had blown for a foul.

As the pressure built, a clever dinked ball from United captain Jacob Devaney gave Tyler Fletcher room in which to cause trouble. He used his body well to do that, eventually getting a foot on the ball as Villa’s Sam Proctor came rushing out. Obi was about to turn and shoot when Scanlon came charging in to push it home into a gaping net and level for the Reds.

Obi celebrates United’s equaliser, scored by James Scanlon.

Villa soon had a chance to restore their lead when Devaney’s loose pass allowed them to surge into the United area. Murdock brought down his man as he tried to smother the danger, but then watched Borland strike the spot-kick well wide to keep the scores level.

Murdock came up big early in the second half to deny Mason Cotcher from close range before Proctor did the same when Obi’s snapshot came at him minutes later. Murdock again proved his shot-stopping class with another close-range denial, this time of Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba, cutting in from the left side of the box.

United made three substitutions, seeking more in the final third, and the first, Zach Baumann, nearly provided it with a whipping shot destined for the top left corner until a deflection. The Ukrainian youth international found space for another effort soon after which drew a fantastic save from Proctor. Obi’s header struck the right post from the subsequent corner.

Villa showed their threat primarily on the counter, with United forced into some uncertain last-ditch defending but ultimately keeping Murdock’s goal safe.

While United dominated the majority of the second half, it was Villa who controlled the first half of extra-time. Previously showing tiredness, they managed to retain possession well and then carve out chances, with Max Jenner shooting over before Murdock saved twice with relative comfort.

At the other end, United began to build momentum before the brief pause, but Jim Thwaites’ free-kick cross was well cleared. Shortly after the restart, another free-kick — this time shot direct — went wide of the right post.

United looked the more dangerous in the latter stages but the game went to penalties where we were beaten 3-1.

MATCH DETAILS

United: Murdock; Kamason, Munro, Armer, Kukonki (Lusale 90); Devaney (c) (Baumann 56), T. Fletcher (Ibragimov 103), J. Fletcher (Thwaites 72); Scanlon, Obi, Biancheri (Mantato 61).

Unused subs: Byrne-Hughes; Musa.

Goals: Scanlon 23 | Mulley 4.

Atletico plotting surprise move for 25-yo United star, Ineos confident of agreeing £40m deal – report

Atletico plotting surprise move for 25-yo United star, Ineos confident of agreeing £40m deal – report

Atletico Madrid have reportedly shown interest in Manchester United loanee Antony.

Erik ten Hag’s most expensive signing as United manager found himself on the wrong end of the stick at Old Trafford on the back of several frustrating performances. The right winger’s crosses failed to beat the first man and his trademark “spin” trick quickly became a source of ridicule.

Eventually, the club and the player decided the best option was a temporary separation, leading to Antony joining Real Betis on loan in January for the remainder of the campaign.

At the Benito Villamarín, the 25-year-old has quickly become a fan favourite, having rediscovered his confidence and aura that made him a superstar at Ajax.

Over the weekend, the Brazilian delivered a sensational performance to lead Betis to their first league win over bitter rivals Sevilla in seven years. Now, United are hoping to make the most of his “Spanish renaissance”.

Manchester United ready to sell Antony

According to The i Paper, United are confident they will be able to sell Antony for £40 million during the summer transfer window.

United’s £40m price tag was initially viewed as “too high” but Antony’s exploits have led to a belief that the value is more realistic.

The Brazil international is enjoying an eyebrow-raising form under Manuel Pellegrini, having scored four goals and registered as many assists in 12 appearances for Los Verdiblancos.

It is claimed that Atletico are among the clubs monitoring Antony’s turnaround.

Diego Simeone’s side appear to be in the market for a new winger and have also been linked with Alejandro Garnacho.

Meanwhile, Pellegrini and several Betis players want to keep Antony in Seville beyond this campaign but the club are not expected to meet United’s valuation.

Ineos are determined to oversee a massive summer clear out at United. As such, despite Antony’s representatives not ruling out the player rebuilding his career under Ruben Amorim, a return is considered very unlikely to materialise.

United scouting 19yo “ridiculous” attacker who has set Serie A alight since January switch – report

United scouting 19yo “ridiculous” attacker who has set Serie A alight since January switch – report

Unlike targeting only high-profile stars for big money in the past, Manchester United now are eyeing young stars with the potential to grow as seen from deals for Ayden Heaven and Leny Yoro.

And with finances at a premium, the Red Devils could be about to target young players once again in the summer as INEOS look to supply Ruben Amorim with a consistent goalscoring option.

Assane Diao is a versatile attacker capable of playing in multiple positions across the frontline and United were eyeing him since his days in Real Betis.

But his improved form since his January switch to Como has made the Red Devils sit up and take notice with journalist Nicolò Schira revealing that United had sent scouts to watch the 19-year-old in action on Saturday.

Diao being scouted

“A Manchester United scout was at Sinigaglia Stadium yesterday to watch the game between Como and Empoli to monitor the winger Assane Diao (born in 2005),” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The winger has five goals from only 11 starts while he had managed only six strikes in the last two seasons combined for the Spanish side.

🚨 Excl. – A #ManchesterUnited’s scout was yesterday at Sinigaglia Stadium to watch the game between #Como and Empoli to monitore the winger Assane #Diao (born in 2005). #transfers #MUFC #mutd

— Nicolò Schira (@NicoSchira) March 29, 2025

The Lariani spent €12 million in the winter to bring him to Como and Diao has certainly repaid their trust with goals against Juventus and Napoli just to name a few.

Como drew with Empoli with manager Cesc Fabregas praising the Senegalese after the match, claiming he was the only player who was giving his all for the cause.

Impressive form

“The only player I liked today was Assane Diao, even though he only returned from international duty on Thursday. He was the only one who tried something,” the former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder was quoted as saying.

Liverpool have also been credited with interest in the Senegal international in the past with the player currently valued at €25 million as per Transfermarkt with his deal valid until 2029.

Given his current “ridiculous” form, Como are likely to ask for a lot more should United come calling in the summer.

Diao had started his career at Cadiz before securing a move to Real Betis back in 2021. And despite interest from plenty of clubs, Fabregas lured him to Como in January with the player claiming it was a dream to play under the former Premier League legend.

Wayne Rooney reveals the team he was poised to join before performing contract u-turn to stay at United

Wayne Rooney reveals the team he was poised to join before performing contract u-turn to stay at United

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has admitted he was “ready to go and play in Spain” before dramatically signing a new deal at Old Trafford, and confirmed that talks took place over a move.

United’s all-time top scorer famously rebuffed the club’s attempts to pin him down to a new deal in 2010, going so far as to submit a transfer request to force an exit.

And speaking to the BBC today, the 39-year-old said that he can see why Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold may be tempted by a move to Real Madrid, and “fair play to him” if he does sign for the La Liga giants.

Rooney named Real as one of three clubs who came in for him 15 years ago, alongside Chelsea and Barcelona. He also noted that Manchester City are often thought to have been interested, but “I don’t think that was ever an option for me.”

It’s a move that would have sent an already incensed fanbase into meltdown; when it looked like he was going to leave he had United fans protesting outside his house, although he explained that he had already agreed his new contract at this point.

Prior to that, though, he confesses that he could easily have quit Old Trafford.

“In my head, I was ready to go and play in Spain and some talks did take place,” he said, continuing that after initially looking set for Real it was ultimately their fierce rivals he imagined himself playing for.

“It was Barcelona whom I thought about the most, and how I might fit into their side alongside Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets.”

The thought of prime Rooney in that team is mind-boggling, and even though he decided to stay and make history at United he maintains that “Barca had an incredible team then and any player would have loved to have played in it.”

He notes that this is similar to how Alexander-Arnold may be feeling about joining up with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr, which is “a massive opportunity” and one which he may feel “too good to turn down.”

Rooney, who won five Premier Leagues, an FA Cup and a Champions League with United, says that honours were always the most important thing to him.

“Winning trophies was the biggest reason I considered leaving United in 2010,” he said. “I was about to turn 25 and I was concerned about the direction of the club.”

Two of his league titles came after his contract stand-off was resolved, but in the longer term his concerns have proved legitimate.

On leaving his boyhood club Everton in 2004 in pursuit of silverware, he said: “I did not want to leave them when I did – I was devastated – but I would have moved on at some point, to try and better myself and win some trophies.”

His first league title came two seasons after joining.

Man Utd: Greenwood ‘isn’t coming back’ under De Zerbi in £31m boost amid broken relationship

Mason Greenwood “isn’t coming back” for Marseille as Robert De Zerbi’s management of the former Manchester United star has been slammed in France.

Greenwood was suspended by United following accusations of domestic violence before moving to Getafe on loan for the 2023/2024 campaign, with his form for the La Liga side drawing interest from several top European suitors.

Marseille got the deal done for €26m and the move has paid off handsomely, with Greenwood managing 16 goals and three assists across 28 appearances in all competitions put Roberto De Zerbi’s side in the mix for Champions League qualification.

But Greenwood was benched for two games on the bounce by De Zerbi – defeats to Lens and PSG – and explaining his decision, the former Brighton boss hit out at the forward’s lack of “sacrifice”.

De Zerbi said: “No one can have more respect for him than I do. But that doesn’t change anything: I expect more from him. He has to do more, because what he is currently showing is not enough.

“If he wants to achieve his ambition of becoming a champion, he has to be more consistent, sacrifice more and be more determined.”

Man Utd need to raise funds for a huge summer rebuild, and recent developments regarding Greenwood provided a potential boost as they have a 50% sell-on clause. They could earn around £31m amid interest from PSG.

De Zerbi poured cold water on exit speculation ahead of the clash with Reims, insisting he really adored Greenwood before putting him back in the starting lineup.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano also claimed there’s not been any talks regarding a summer transfer.

He revealed: “Many rumours but nothing decided at this stage for Greenwood. There are not even negotiations with other clubs.”

But Greenwood’s return failed to turn Marseille’s fortune around, with the Ligue 1 side slumping to their third defeat on the bounce, allowing Monaco to move above them into second place in the table and casting doubt over their ability to stay the course and reach the Champions League next season.

Nice and Lille are now both just two points behind Marseille, while Strasbourg are one point behind them.

And After Foot columnist Daniel Riolo hit out at De Zebra’s management of Greenwood after the 3-1 loss to 15th-placed Reims, claiming the United academy graduate “isn’t coming back” and is “no longer there”, presumably in reference to him seeking an exit having been dropped.

Riolo wrote: ‘You play Reims who don’t beat anyone… You lose 1-0 because you’re robbed, but here, no, you conceded three and that follows a very bad run. Greenwood isn’t coming back, he’s no longer there. De Zerbi’s management with Greenwood isn’t working.’

United ready to launch ambitious move for one of Serie A’s best midfielders, player keen to join – report

Manchester United are interested in signing Hakan Calhanoglu from Inter Milan, as per reports.

Bruno Fernandes has carried the bulk of the creative burden at United under Ruben Amorim.

With the ageing Christian Eriksen struggling to cope with the Premier League’s physicality, Amorim has even used Fernandes in deeper areas to progress the play.

However, the United skipper should be ideally played as close to the goal as possible so that he could make use of his incredible ball-striking on a frequent basis. It seems the club’s hierarchy want to make that happen by trying to find a new creative player to feature in the middle of the park.

Manchester United keen on Hakan Calhanoglu

According to Fichajes, United have set their sights on Calhanoglu, who is one of Inter’s most important players.

The Turkey international, who mostly played as an attacking midfielder at his previous clubs, has been used as a deep-lying playmaker by Simone Inzaghi this term.

Still, he has been directly involved in 13 goals in 33 appearances across all competitions.

It is claimed that United are looking to sign a player who would add creativity to their midfield and Calhanoglu ” fits that profile perfectly.”

Despite his importance to the Nerazzurri, the Red Devils are prepared to make a push for his signing in the summer.

Inter want to keep hold of the 31-year-old, who is tied to the club until 2027. Still, a strong offer could force them to consider his exit due to their difficult financial situation.

Further, the Turkish star finds the possibility of playing at Old Trafford appealing. Accordingly, United are willing to present a “convincing proposal.”

Having said that, United find themselves in a position where they will have to replace veterans Eriksen and Casemiro imminently. As such, a move for another player in his 30s would not make much sense for Ineos.

From Italy: Serie A giants plotting €50m offer for United’s “new Pogba” seen as perfect successor to another former Red Devil

Manchester United could lose multiple big-name players in the summer as INEOS look to raise enough capital to sufficiently back Ruben Amorim in the transfer window.

Given the need for a striker, midfielder, wingback and possibly even a defender and goalkeeper, it is clear multiple player sales will be required given the current financial mess United find themselves in.

Selling academy graduates represent pure profit, which is why both Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho could find themselves on the chopping block.

The England international is yet to agree a contract extension with the club and his wage demands have meant the co-owners are mulling over a sale.

Inter want Mainoo

He has suitors in the Premier League but as relayed previously by The Peoples Person, the 19-year-old prefers a move abroad.

Inter Milan have been mentioned as a possible destination with the Italian giants looking at the Carrington graduate as a possible replacement for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, formerly of United.

However, the Nerazzurri are not exactly flush with cash and they are always on the lookout for free agent deals but as per Inter Live, the Stockport-born star will cost around €50 million.

“Marotta , in fact, has set his sights on a player who, in the chaos and failures of the English team’s last seasons, could be sold to raise money next summer.

€50 million offer

“Inter set their sights on Mainoo: the new Pogba for the Nerazzurri. He hasn’t left his mark in terms of goals or assists, but he’s good in both phases of the game, as a box-to-box midfielder and good at dribbling. He would therefore take Mkhitaryan’s place in Inzaghi’s chessboard.

“Inter are waiting for the evolutions for his future and if Manchester United decided to sell him, they would try to bring the boy to Milan.

“There are problems: Mainoo would not arrive as a free agent, given that he is tied to the Red Devils by a contract until 2027 with an option for another year. His valuation would still be very high, around 50 million euros, and other big English clubs could focus on the midfielder, already in the national team.”

What the report gets wrong is Mainoo’s valuation. United will never let go of their golden boy for such a meagre amount and they will like to earn close to £80 million, a fee far beyond Inter’s means.

Whether INEOS will prefer a deal with a foreign club for a lower fee in a bid to avoid strengthening a direct rival will be interesting to see.

Man Utd accused of ‘devaluing’ flop amid ‘crowdfunding’ transfer plea with ‘very high asking price’ revealed

Man Utd accused of ‘devaluing’ flop amid ‘crowdfunding’ transfer plea with ‘very high asking price’ revealed

Manchester United have been accused of “devaluing” Antony, while Old Trafford chiefs have set a ‘very high asking price’ for the winger.

The Brazil international joined Man Utd for around £86m during the 2022 summer transfer window and failed to live up to expectations at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils massively overpaid to sign Antony after former boss Erik ten Hag insisted on a reunion with the winger and he fell in the pecking order at the start of this season.

Head coach Ruben Amorim sanctioned Antony’s exit during the winter transfer window, joining La Liga outfit Real Betis on loan until the end of this campaign.

Antony has returned to form for Real Betis, grabbing four goals and four assists in his 12 appearances in all competitions.

Real Betis sporting director, Manu Fajardo, believes Antony has been “spectacular” after Man Utd “devalued” him.

“Here, we work on ‘devalued players, analysing data from players who have reached very high moments and peaks, but who for various reasons have significantly decreased their performances,” Fajardo said.

“In Antony’s case, he has performed since minute one at Betis.

“The player quickly integrated into the project and has demonstrated spectacular performances since his arrival.”

Real Betis star Isco added: “We hope that Antony will remain at the club, but in football, nothing can be taken for granted. We need to do crowdfunding to bring Antony in!”

👉 Ten transfer requests welcomed by Premier League clubs ahead of the summer window

Meanwhile, Antony admits he “experienced bad things” at Man Utd after his “best decision” to join Real Betis.

“Seville reminds me of many things in Brazil: the sun, the food and the people,” Antony said. “It’s very important for people who come from my country.

“I needed to find myself and be happy. Every day that goes by, I think it’s the best decision I could have made.

“I learned a lot of good things at Manchester United , but I also experienced a lot of bad things there.”

A report from Fichajes claims Man Utd have set a ‘very high asking price’ for Antony.

‘Manchester United invested €95 million in his signing in 2022, and although his time in the Premier League hasn’t been what they expected, the English club is unlikely to accept losing too much money on a hypothetical sale.

‘The figures being discussed for a permanent transfer are around €35 ​​or €40 million, an amount that Betis will have to study carefully.

‘The winger’s future will depend on negotiations between both clubs and the player’s own wishes. His desire to remain in Seville is evident, but the final decision will rest with Manchester United and Betis’s financial capacity to afford a move of this magnitude.’

United slash asking price to €35m for wantaway star who is enjoying incredible form on loan – report

Manchester United have set their price tag for Brazilian winger Antony ahead of the summer transfer window, as per reports.

Antony has impressively turned around his fortunes since joining Real Betis in January.

Seen as one of Erik ten Hag’s biggest transfer misjudgments, the ex-Ajax superstar found himself on the fringes of the first team at Old Trafford under the very same manager who spent €95 million to secure his services.

Ruben Amorim’s arrival only pushed Antony further down the pecking order and eventually saw United ship him off to Seville in a loan deal for the remainder of the season.

Under Manuel Pellegrini, the Brazilian instantly cemented his place in Betis’ starting lineup, having rediscovered his form and confidence that made him a sought-after talent at Ajax.

In just 12 appearances for Los Verdiblancos, the 25-year-old has amassed an eight-goal involvement.

Antony, who delivered an incredible performance in his side’s 2-1 win over fierce rivals Sevilla over the weekend, has established himself as a fan favourite at the club and there’s clear intent to retain his services for a longer period.

The Brazil international has also suggested he is very happy in Spain and it is understood that he desires to continue at Betis.

However, it is not going to be easy for the La Liga outfit to find an agreement with United.

According to Fichajes, the Premier League giants are looking for a fee of between €35m and €40m to strike an agreement over a permanent transfer.

The Spanish outlet claims that Betis will have to “study” the amount “carefully”.

The club’s most expensive signing to date remains Denilson, who joined them from Sao Paulo in 1998 in a €30m deal.

Such has been Antony’s impact at his new club that his teammate Isco called for a crowdfunding campaign to fund a transfer following the 2-1 triumph over Sevilla.
