    Great move for both parties: Scholes names which one of United’s sworn enemies Rashford should join

    Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Marcus Rashford could be a fine fit at Arsenal. The Red Devils are looking to offload the English forward, who spent last season on loan at Barcelona. Rashford was a prominent figure in United’s starting XI after breaking into the first team under former manager Louis van Gaal in the 2015/16 season. However, the player’s troubles began after Ruben Amorim took charge at Old Trafford in November 2024. The Portuguese head coach developed a frosty relationship with the Englishman and oversaw his temporary departure to Aston Villa in January 2025. An impressive loan spell at Villa Park failed to improve Rashford’s situation, and he joined the Catalans on another temporary deal. The 28 year old was outstanding for the LaLiga champions last season, registering 14 goals and 14 assists, and helping them win the league and the Supercopa de Espana. However, Barcelona have so far been reluctant to trigger a €30 million option to sign him permanently. With reports suggesting that the Catalans are plotting a cut-price move, Rashford’s future remains uncertain ahead of the summer. The Englishman, however, is not short of admirers. Rashford is proven in the Premier League Rashford has registered 89 goals and 42 assists in 297 appearances in the Premier League, making him a lucrative target for English clubs as well.

Recent reports have suggested that Chelsea and Arsenal are among his suitors, although Newcastle United have distanced themselves from the player. The Gunners are looking to further improve their attack after a disappointing defeat to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Champions League final. Rashford’s Premier League pedigree is likely to appeal to Mikel Arteta as well, and Scholes has now provided his views on the matter. Rashford’s United return unlikely Scholes was recently part of a conversation on The Good, The Bad & The Ugly podcast, where Arsenal’s interest in Rashford was discussed. When pressed on the matter, the Ginger Prince responded: “That would be a great move, a great move for both parties. I think Arsenal would be a great move for him and the club.” Amorim’s departure and the subsequent appointment of Michael Carrick have generated talk about the English forward’s possible return to the Theatre of Dreams. Rashford previously worked with Carrick during former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s reign, further fuelling speculation of a reunion. However, Scholes suggested that the Red Devils no longer want the player to return, adding: “No, it very rarely happens, a big player like that going to a big club and then coming back. They very rarely come back and I don’t think United will really want him back.” Final Thoughts United will be reluctant to strengthen a direct rival by allowing Rashford to make the move to the Emirates. Meanwhile, the player reportedly has his heart set on a move to Camp Nou, which could also have a bearing on his future. A recent report relayed by The Peoples Person suggests that the Red Devils are ready to accept Barcelona’s reduced proposal for the Englishman, which could finally put an end to this saga.

    Liverpool left rocked as key star was “open” to bombshell switch to Old Trafford – report

      Liverpool left rocked as key star was “open” to bombshell switch to Old Trafford – report

      Manchester United had the opportunity to pull off a bombshell move for Ibrahima Konate after the 27-year-old defender was confirmed to be leaving Liverpool this week, a new report claims. Reinforcing the Backline While a midfield revamp is the priority at Old Trafford this summer, with a deal already in the bag to fix the stalling engine room, United are also on the lookout for reinforcements in defence. A new left-back to provide competition to Luke Shaw is considered a priority, given the 30-year-old Englishman’s body will be unable to contend with the increased workload of three games a week next season. But a central defender is also understood to be on the agenda, despite Harry Maguire signing a new deal in April and the impressive form of Ayden Heaven towards the tail end of the campaign. The continued injury issues of Matthijs de Ligt, who has not played since November, and Lisandro Martinez are driving this concern over depth in the backline, with both of United’s first-choice centre-backs having missed much of the season. Tottenham Hotspur juggernaut Micky van de Ven was identified as an ambitious target were the north London side to be relegated, while Nottingham Forest’s Murillo is a player with many admirers in M16. However, it has now been claimed United could have signed Konate on a free transfer as the France international failed to agree a contract extension at Anfield. Konate was open to Old Trafford Caught Offside reveals a well-placed source indicates Konate was “open” to swapping Merseyside for Manchester if an offer had presented itself. “The Konate situation has been pretty crazy,” the source states. “About a month ago it looked like he was engaging really positively with the idea of staying and signing a new deal with Liverpool. Real Madrid seemed to be out of the picture. “At the same time, it seems his agents were keeping contacts alive, and that’s now led to a verbal agreement with Real Madrid. He was also open to Chelsea, Man United, and Bayern.” Liverpool were understood to have been confident of agreeing terms with the 6’4 titan, having tabled what insiders describe as a strong offer. In April, the player himself said he was “close to an agreement” and was keen to stay at the club he joined from RB Leipzig in 2021 for £35 million. The report states this left Liverpool “slightly blindsided” when it emerged Konate’s representatives were “engaging with other clubs, including major rivals” in England. In the end, an explosive switch between the Premier League’s most successful, and bitterest, rivals did not come to fruition, with the Frenchman set to sign for Real Madrid, provided Florentino Perez wins the presidential elections at the Santiago Bernabeu. It would have sent shockwaves, however, if Konate had joined the rare list of players, which includes Paul Ince and Michael Owen, to have lined up for both north west giants.

          United’s pursuit of world-class hitman rocked as Atletico Madrid strike first for priority target – report

            United’s pursuit of world-class hitman rocked as Atletico Madrid strike first for priority target – report

            Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, but they may have to ward off competition from Atletico Madrid, who have launched a move for him. Osimhen interest United are bracing for a busy summer window as they prepare to play Champions League football and mount a title challenge next season. While bolstering the midfield is believed to be the priority, other positions could also come into play, including striker. There is uncertainty surrounding the future of Joshua Zirkzee, who struggled for playing time in 2025/26 under both Ruben Amorim and Michael Carrick. A return to Italy has been mooted for Zirkzee, with the likes of AC Milan, Atalanta, Roma and Juventus all believed to be eyeing his signature. The Dutchman has yet to decide where he wants to play his football, whether that is at Old Trafford or elsewhere. Osimhen, a player United have been linked with for several windows, has been mentioned to be of interest to the club yet again. A recent report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that his name features on a list of striker targets for the Red Devils. The Nigerian superstar enjoyed a superb campaign with Galatasaray, contributing 15 goals and five assists in 22 Super Lig appearances. Across all competitions, he managed 22 goals and eight assists. Now, AS have given an update on Osimhen’s situation ahead of the commencement of the summer window. Osimhen transfer update According to the Spanish news outlet, with Antoine Griezmann gone and Julián Álvarez being courted by Barcelona and PSG, Atlético Madrid are planning to strengthen their attack. It’s said that an approach has been made for Osimhen, but Atletico are also aware that United are lurking. The report says, “Atlético Madrid’s sporting management is active. The club has inquired about Victor Osimhen, the 27-year-old Nigerian striker from Galatasaray.” “He’s an important player, a striker who could leave the Turkish club this season. Many top European clubs are monitoring him, and sources in the Premier League claim he’s a priority target for Manchester United.” “Atlético is keeping a close eye on the situation in case Julián Álvarez ultimately leaves the Metropolitano.” AS explain that securing a deal for Osimhen won’t be easy, but his credentials make him well worth the effort.

              Ex-United star David de Gea at centre of surprise swap deal after Fiorentina’s relegation escape – report

              Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea is in line for a surprise swap deal ahead of the summer window, it has now been reported. United spell De Gea departed United in the summer of 2023 after a successful 12-year spell. He made 545 appearances for the club, keeping 190 clean sheets in that period. Both are club records for a goalkeeper. The Spaniard helped the Red Devils win the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Europa League and two Carabao Cups. In terms of personal accolades, De Gea collected two Premier League Golden Glove awards, four Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year awards and four Players’ Player of the Year awards. After parting ways with United, De Gea remained without a club for a full year before finally resuming his career at Fiorentina. His brilliant first season with La Viola ultimately secured him an extended stay at the club. But 2025/26 was a challenging one for Fiorentina as they mostly battled to beat the drop. De Gea made 46 appearances in all competitions, conceding 59 goals and registering 13 clean sheets. Fiorentina finished in 15th place in the table, eight points above the relegation zone. A report covered by The Peoples Person indicated that Juventus are keen on a swoop for De Gea and now, it has been claimed that Lazio are also interested in him. De Gea transfer update According to Il Tirreno, De Gea may feature in a potential swap arrangement, with Lazio’s Christos Mandas moving to Fiorentina in return. Mandas moved to Bournemouth in January but did not make an appearance for the Cherries as Andoni Iraola kept faith in Djordje Petkovic. Bournemouth are unlikely to keep him beyond his loan, so a return to Lazio seems likely. But Lazio want to offload him and proceed with Edoardo Motta, who has been outstanding since replacing the injured Ivan Provedel in March. Fiorentina are admirers of Mandas, who could offer De Gea in exchange. Part of Fiorentina’s motivation to move on from De Gea is the high wages he commands. Apart from Lazio and Juventus, another potential transfer destination for De Gea is Inter Milan.

                United leader signs new deal as club’s summer plans roar into life – report

                A big update has been issued on the future of Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton ahead of the summer window. Goalkeeping overhaul United are poised for a significant rebuild of their goalkeeping unit, with multiple outgoings and a number of incomings expected. It’s looking increasingly likely that Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir will leave in the next few weeks. Both shot-stoppers have struggled to make an impact since arriving at the club in the summer of 2023. Onana spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Trabzonspor. The Turkish side have expressed a desire to retain him, although the Cameroonian wants to stay at United and battle Senne Lammens for a regular starting berth. Bayindir, on the other hand, is wanted by Besiktas, who unsuccessfully tried to snap him up in January. Reliable journalist Andy Mitten recently claimed that academy goalkeeper Radek Vitek may also be sold. Vitek enjoyed a superb 2025/26 on loan at Bristol City. According to Mitten, United are eager to sign an experienced goalkeeper to provide cover for Lammens and support the Belgium international. Last month, a report covered by The Peoples Person covered relayed that Heaton was on the brink of putting pen to paper on a new deal to extend his stay at the club. Now, The Sun have revealed that the veteran has signed the contract. Heaton update The Sun say, “TOM HEATON has signed a new 12-month playing contract with Manchester United.” “United are expected to officially announce veteran Heaton’s new deal in the coming days.” Heaton has made just three senior appearances for United since rejoining the club from Aston Villa in 2021. Heaton last played for United in the 2023 League Cup semi-final second leg clash against Nottingham Forest. As well as providing leadership in the dressing room, Heaton would also help United address their homegrown player quota issues for the Champions League.

                  Surprise decision by PL club threatens to derail Uniteds pursuit of 26 g/a attacker The Telegraph

                  Manchester United’s pursuit of Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers is unlikely to be a straightforward affair. The Englishman has consistently been one of the finest attackers in the Premier League since arriving from Middlesbrough in 2024 and has turned heads at Old Trafford. The Red Devils streamlined their attack in the summer of 2025, removing the deadwood and investing over £200 million in new faces. Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund were all shown the door. United signed Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Mateus Cunha to replace the infamous bomb squad, and the trio were key to the club’s third-place finish in the 2025/26 season. However, the Red Devils lack proper cover in attack, especially with Joshua Zirkzee’s future uncertain and Amad scoring just two goals in the recently concluded campaign. The situation has prompted talk of attacking reinforcements this summer, especially with the club set to compete in the Champions League next season. While the midfield remains the priority for INEOS, United are also scouting the market for a versatile attacker, and Rogers is reportedly on their wish list. United want to reunite Rogers with Michael Carrick Rogers has managed to register double figures in goals and assists in his first two full seasons at Villa Park. The 23 year old scored 14 goals and set up 12 more in 55 appearances for Unai Emery’s side in the 2025/26 season, playing a starring role in their Europa League triumph. Morgan Rogers Stats: 2025/26 Season CompetitionAppearancesStartsGoalsAssistsYellow CardsRed CardsMinutes Played Premier League37371077-3,285′ UEFA Europa League1512352-1,089′ FA Cup221—167′ EFL Cup10—-23′ Total555114129-4,564′ Source: Transfermarkt. Rogers joined Middlesbrough from Manchester City in the summer of 2023 and worked for six months under Michael Carrick at the Riverside Stadium before Villa came calling. INEOS are reportedly keen to reunite the player with the English manager at Old Trafford this season. Rogers’ ability to carry out multiple roles in attack and his eye for goal make him a superb addition to United’s squad. There is also a belief that the player could be a long-term replacement for Bruno Fernandes at the Theatre of Dreams. A previous report relayed by The Peoples Person states that the Birmingham-based club are ready to let the player leave for around £80 million this summer. However, a contrasting update has now emerged. Villa want Rogers to stay According to The Telegraph, Villa are determined to retain Rogers despite growing interest in his signature. The report states: “Aston Villa hope to resist offers for Morgan Rogers this summer amid growing interest from rival clubs, including Arsenal.” The report goes on to insist that Villa are aware that multiple suitors are monitoring their star, but that has not changed their stance, adding: “Villa are aware that multiple clubs are showing interest in Rogers but have no intention of selling the attacking midfielder, especially after qualifying for next season’s Champions League.” “It remains to be seen, however, whether a big offer from a club such as Arsenal would prompt a change of heart among Villa’s key decision-makers.” “The finances of any potential move for Rogers are complicated by the fact that Middlesbrough have a 20 per cent sell-on clause. Rogers joined Villa from Middlesbrough in February 2024 in a deal worth an initial £8m, and up to £15m with add-ons.” Final Thoughts United legend Paul Scholes recently pointed out that Rogers could struggle for chances at Old Trafford due to the presence of Bruno Fernandes. While that argument cannot be ignored, it is also true that the Englishman is a generational talent who could elevate the Red Devils’ attack. INEOS, as such, could be left to regret if they allow him to join a direct rival like Arsenal.

                    Manchester United have numerous senior players who will be going to the World Cup this summer. Senior call-ups Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot will represent Portugal while Casemiro and Matheus Cunha will be going with Brazil. Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford will represent England, while Lisandro Martinez will join up with the defending world champions, Argentina. The Red Devils also have several players from their academy involved in international action. Under-18 youngster Dante Plunkett was recently called up by the Jamaican senior team but did not come off the bench versus Nigeria. The club’s official website has also listed other academy players who will be in action this summer, representing their national sides. Youth call-ups The site reports that, “Yuel Helafu and Albert Mills have made their debuts for England Under-18s, featuring against Greece and Cyprus.” Mills made the moment even more special by scoring the Three Lions’ fourth goal in a 6-1 victory over Cyprus. Amir Ibragimov has also been called up to the senior Russia side, with fixtures against Burkina Faso and Trinidad & Tobago to come. James Scanlon had a loan to forget at Swindon Town but will hope to return to form for Gibraltar. Gibraltar have fixtures against the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands to look forward to. Jacob Devaney enjoyed a highly successful loan spell at St Mirren, but his work is not yet done this season. The exciting young midfielder has been called up to Ireland’s under-21s squad for matches against Croatia and Qatar. Finally, “Noah Ajayi (Germany U18s), Louie Bradbury (Wales U19s), Chido Obi (Denmark U19s) and Samuel Lusale (Slovakia U19s) also received invitations to link up with their respective squads.” Featured image Lewis Storey via Getty Images The Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.

                      “What’s best for me”: United Women star casts doubt on her club future with latest comments

                      Manchester United Women had a difficult end to the season. Rollercoaster campaign The Red Devils started the season strongly and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, narrowly losing out to Bayern Munich. They also reached their first ever League Cup final, but were beaten by Chelsea. Marc Skinner’s side finished the season in terrible form, winning just one out of their last ten matches. Serious questions have been raised over the manager’s future. Exit rumours If Manchester United Women are to return to Europe next season and challenge for trophies, they need to strengthen their squad. They seem on the cusp of completing a deal for Spanish full-back Andrea Medina. Nonetheless, there have been some worrying rumours regarding the futures of certain key players. It has been reported that United would consider selling Norwegian striker Elisabeth Terland this summer window. There were also reports yesterday that the club have received two bids for star striker Melvine Malard from the United States. Ella Toone To add even more worries for United fans, The Guardian carries comments from Ella Toone putting into question her future at the club. She has played 213 times for the club since joining in their inaugural season in 2018 and has scored 64 goals. In spite of this, her influence on the team has diminished lately, with Jess Park becoming the new catalyst of the side. Toone’s season was blighted by injury and she scored just three goals in 25 matches in the last season. Speaking whilst on international duty for England, she claimed, “I have a year left. Obviously it’s now time to talk. I just know I have got to make a decision on what’s best for me. I’m at England right now and focusing on two big games coming up – Spain and Ukraine. Then I’ve got a summer off; I’m getting married and going on a hen do. I’m going to enjoy these things. And then I’m going to get my head screwed on, work hard in pre-season and go from there. Right now, I’m a Manchester United player.” Commenting on the club’s season she said, “we had a very good run in the Champions League, for our first time being in it as well. We should be really proud of how far we went in that competition. Then on the other side, we want to be winning trophies, we want to be competing for the league, and I feel like there were parts of this season where we dropped points that we probably shouldn’t have, so there’s a lot to work on.” Ella Toone WSL season stats Games playedGoalsAssistsMins played 14351131 Source: Fotmob.com Featured image Matt McNulty via Getty Images The Peoples Person has been one of the world’s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
