2+ week, 1+ day ago (383+ words) Manchester United remain heavily linked with a move for Sporting midfielder Morten Hjulmand. The Red Devils need a long-term replacement for Casemiro, whose contract expires at the end of this season. The Brazilian has been in superb form this campaign. However, he is already on the wrong side of 30, and the Premier League giants are expected to put succession plans in place for the position in 2026. United are already considering several names for the role, including Hjulmand, who has gone from strength to strength at the Estadio Jose Alvalade in recent times. Hjulmand was brought to Sporting from Lecce by Ruben Amorim in the summer of 2023, and they went on to win the league that season. The Danish midfielder has been linked with United ever since the Portuguese took charge at old Trafford, although a move has failed to materialise…...

4+ day, 14+ hour ago (384+ words) Manchester United's squad could look a lot different come the January transfer window. Joshua Zirkzee and Kobbie Mainoo are agitating to leave, and based on their current form, INEOS should grant them their wish. Summer signing Diego Leon, and academy wonderkid James Scanlon have also been linked with a loan exit. With senior injured stars like Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire close to returning to action, Ayden Heaven could join the youngsters out on loan as per The Daily Mail. The ex-Arsenal star, who was handed his United debut by Amorim last season, has managed one start in the Carabao Cup and two appearances off the bench in the Premier League this season. Last term, the 19-year-old played six times, and it was expected that he would kick on from this campaign. That has not proven to be the case....

1+ week, 5+ day ago (363+ words) Manchester United could do with midfield reinforcements in January given the options at Ruben Amorim's disposal. What the Red Devils need most is fresh legs and more quality in the defensive midfield position. Casemiro is currently occupying the role but despite his impressive resurgence under Ruben Amorim, he no longer has the legs to operate week in and week out in the Premier League. In fact, the Brazilian has completed 90 minutes only once so far this season, and with his contract up in the summer, the club could do with a more long-term option. INEOS must have thought they had hit the jackpot when they signed Manuel Ugarte in 2024. However, the Uruguayan has been a major disappointment and his fortunes have not improved under his former Sporting CP boss. With Kobbie Mainoo linked with a January exit, it is imperative…...

1+ day, 11+ hour ago (319+ words) Manchester United's hunt for the perfect midfield addition has taken another turn as per the latest reports. Carlos Baleba was believed to be Ruben Amorim's first choice to come in and replace Casemiro, but the Brighton star's form has nosedived this season. As a result, INEOS have moved on to other targets, with Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton now higher up on the list of potential targets. The Red Devils are not the only ones looking at the Englishman, with Liverpool among his suitors. But the 21-year-old reportedly prefers a move to Old Trafford. However, journalist Ben Jacobs (via Tribuna) has now stated there is a huge stumbling block for the 20-time English league champions to overcome if they are to land the England international. The former Blackburn Rovers ace wants to play in the Champions League next season, and as…...

2+ week, 5+ day ago (306+ words) Manchester United have reportedly made a decision on a new surprise way to raise money for the club. United's financial woes are well-known, with the club walking a tightrope with regard to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. Since he assumed operational control of United in February last year, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has embarked on a ruthless campaign to drive down costs and raise income from the club in a bid to ensure there is sufficient money in place to spend on strengthening the first team. A number of Ratcliffe's decisions have been unpopular, including making hundreds of staff redundant, cancelling Sir Alex Ferguson's ambassadorial contract and hiking ticket prices. In March, Ratcliffe told the media that United would have gone bust by the turn of the year if he had not invested in the club and implemented the…...

2+ week, 4+ day ago (326+ words) Former Manchester United players Michael Carrick, Wes Brown, and Phil Jones have decided to do their part in uplifting the youth through a meaningful initiative. This will be a welcome development for supporters who are concerned about assisting those in need, particularly after INEOS sent mixed signals regarding their support for the Manchester United Foundation. In December last year, The Peoples Person relayed that INEOS was considering a funding cut for the MU Foundation, which was expected to amount to "1 million for the year. Fast forward to October, and it seemed that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team were ready to promote the foundation in other ways. Man United manager Ruben Amorim and his players became involved in the Man United Foundation, meeting with fans living with serious illnesses. Now, it seems that even former players are ready to play…...

2+ week, 1+ day ago (389+ words) Manchester United have now made it clear to their wantaway forward that they will not sanction a January exit, despite his hopes of leaving mid-season. Although Joshua Zirkzee remains a regular fixture in United's matchday squad, he has not started a single game under Ruben Amorim since April. So far this season, he has made five appearances, but frustratingly, he has only accumulated 92 minutes of football. With aspirations of representing the Netherlands at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Zirkzee's limited game time is doing him no favours, especially when other Dutch strikers are playing consistently for their clubs. To even stand a chance of being recalled by Ronald Koeman, Zirkzee's situation must change. He needs minutes. He knows it too, which is why he is reportedly eyeing a January exit from Old Trafford. While speculation around his departure continues, with AS…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago (572+ words) Manchester United have been enjoying rising success this season, both on and off the field. Still, the club could face a new, disturbing issue as a harrowing court case unfolds. Following Man United's 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month, retired midfielder Owen Hargreaves made an exciting prediction about his former club, claiming that they could clinch a place in the Premier League top four this season. In addition to its success on the pitch, United appear to be boosting their financial prospects as well, with the club believed to have received approval to host a basketball team for the new NBA Europe tournament. But even amid so much positive news, the club faces a truly troubling legal proceeding that could have dire consequences. "Manchester United are the subject of legal action in the High Court over allegations of sexual…...

1+ week, 2+ day ago (375+ words) News on Manchester United's exciting new stadium project had gone a little cold lately. There was an explosion of reports in the early spring over United's grand plans to build a new 100,000 seater stadium to replace the outdated Old Trafford stadium. There were plans for the government to get involved in the stadium project and they were ready to "crack on" with the building of the stadium. Nonetheless, as probably to be expected, the trajectory of the plans have not all been plain-sailing. It has been reported that the new stadium could end up costing double the club's estimation of "2 billion. What's more, a stand off with the company that owns land around the stadium means that the club and Sir Jim Ratcliffe may have to abandon plans to build the tent design over the arena as it may prove…...

3+ week, 3+ day ago (439+ words) Manchester United icon Lee Sharpe is puzzled by a regular action performed by the club's head coach, Ruben Amorim. In an exclusive interview with The Peoples Person hosted by Adventure Gamers, Sharpe was discussing Amorim's habit of making unnecessary changes to his defence. "There is a funny situation with the manager, the way he keeps bringing defenders off every game," Sharpe told us. "He changes most games, which most clubs and managers don't do. "The back four and the goalie is something that stays stable and consistent and we seem to change that every week, which is a funny decision for a manager to make and I'm not really sure why he does that because I think Lenny Yoro has been fantastic. "I don't know whether he takes him off because he's young and possibly mentally can tend to make…...
