Rasmus Hojlund could join club he should have signed with instead of Man United

Manchester United are still having major issues with scoring goals up top, even after investing heavily in the striker position by signing two of the best up-and-coming forwards in Serie A in each of the past two summer transfer windows: Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta in 2023 and Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna in 2024. Zirkzee is pretty clearly not a good fit for Manchester United, and Ruben Amorim hasn't really hid the fact that he doesn't see the Dutchman as part of his ideal starting lineup. But many around Manchester United, including former star striker Dimitar Berbatov, think Amorim could just as easily jettison both young No. 9's out of Old Trafford this summer if their performances don't step up soon. While Hojlund has shown more promise of the two, his positive streaks in front ...

Ruben Amorim is missing an important point about a Bruno Fernandes transfer

Manchester United playmaker Bruno Fernandes is at the top of Al-Hilal's wishlist before the Club World Cup begins on June 14, as he is one of the biggest names in the Premier League and vital to Man United being both on the precipice of the Europa League Final and avoiding further embarrassment in the Premier League. Al-Hilal's interest as turned the focus on Manchester United and if they want to cash in on an attacking midfielder who is now 30 years old and could churn the Red Devils a tidy profit, with the club already having a top prospect in the same position in Alejandro Garnacho. But former Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim isn't interested in parting ways with Fernandes. He maintained his interest in building his short-term project around Bruno, stating, via mufcmpb, “Bruno Fer...

Manchester United make a play for one of the world’s most underrated GKs

Manchester United have been disappointed with Andre Onana's continued inconsistency and costly errors in goal, so goalkeeper has become a secondary need for the team this summer. Now, Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto are reporting for GiveMeSport that the Red Devils have begun initial talks for Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. The name "Milinkovic-Savic" used to be famous for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, but ever since SMS left for the Saudi Pro League, Vanja, his younger brother, has become a star in his own right. Serie A fans know that Milinkovic-Savic is one of the best goalkeepers in the league. Onana used to be a great goalkeeper in Italy for Inter Milan, too, but Milinkovic-Savic is even better, making fewer mistakes and more game-saving stops for the B...

Outrageous Bruno Fernandes wage offer complicates things for Manchester United

Al-Hilal have been knocking at the door of Manchester United star playmaker Bruno Fernandes for years, but with the Club World Cup coming, this will be their stiffest challenge for the Portuguese international. According to a report from GiveMeSport's Ben Jacobs, the Saudi Pro League side are now offering Fernandes a three-year contract with wages exceeding 65 million pounds per season. That contract offer has to be awfully tempting for Fernandes, who currently makes around 15 million pounds per season at Manchester United. Even though the Red Devils may not want to sell their captain and best overall player, especially with Ruben Amorim strongly favoring him and even saying in public he's not for sale, the decision may not be theirs to make. A raise of more than quadruple of a salar...

Manchester United have a different striker as their priority over Victor Osimhen

Manchester United will be in the market for a new striker on the summer 2025 transfer window for what seems like the third year running. According to a report from Foot Mercato's Santi Aouna and Sebastien Denis, Man United currently have a shortlist of four strikers that includes Victor Osimhen from Napoli, Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres, and Ipswich Town's Liam Delap as well as another unnamed player. Of those four, Gyokeres is their top target. It isn't surprising to see that Manchester United have a wide net of players they are interested in at striker, and the unnamed European No. 9 could very well be Hugo Ekitke of Eintracht Frankfurt or Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig - both talented young Bundesliga marksmen are wanted by other elite Premier League sides like Arsenal, Chelsea, and ev...

Bruno Fernandes is being tempted away from Manchester United

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been one of the very few consistent bright spots for the club in the past two Premier League seasons, but he's reaching an age and a level of fame when the Saudi Pro League come knocking. Now, per Saudi Arabian reporter @H_Swilhy, via Hilal Stuff, powerhouse club Al-Hilal have submitted an official transfer offer to Manchester United for Fernandes. The Red Devils have been expecting an offer from Saudi Arabia to come through for their world-class No. 10, and Al-Hilal have been kicking around the idea of trying to sign the Portuguese international before the Club World Cup for quite some time. Al-Hilal want to make a splash Clubs in Saudi Arabia like Al-Hilal want to make a splash and sign superstars like Fernandes so they can threaten the ...

Another top Manchester United transfer target is dreaming of Real Madrid instead

Manchester United have become increasingly interested in River Plate playmaker Franco Mastantuono, who has become a key target for many Premier League clubs. But even though Real Madrid backed out of the race a few months ago, the Argentinian prospect still dreams of a move to the Santiago Bernabeu. According to a report from German Garcia Grova of TyC Sports in Argentina, Mastantuono is making it clear to all clubs interested in him that he dreams of joining Real Madrid. He is telling clubs that he is not desperate to leave River Plate yet and is willing to wait for Madrid. Mastantuono already rejected French giants Marseille, and Manchester United are reportedly struggling to meet River's valuation and 40 million euro release clause. Manchester United beat Real Madrid to a top pro...

Marcus Rashford keeps making it harder for Manchester United to sell him

Marcus Rashford clearly doesn't have a future at Manchester United, and that reality had likely existed for multiple seasons before Ruben Amorim's arrival; it's just that the Portuguese manager has been the first to take formal steps to cutting ties with the perennial disappointment. There is a talented player buried somewhere within Rashford, but even at his latest loan spell with Aston Villa, we've only seen that quality in bits and pieces. For the most part, he's been about as bang average as he was at Old Trafford. With Rashford now out for the rest of the 2024/25 season with a hamstring injury, selling the England international will be more difficult for Manchester United, and Villa are pretty much off the table as a landing spot. Marcus Rashford doesn't want Aston Villa move ...

Manchester United have one key hurdle to signing Viktor Gyokeres

Manchester United will have more than a few needs to address in the summer 2025 transfer window, and if they truly embrace the long-term approach that Ruben Amorim is touting - and that they need - they will take the prudent approach instead of shoehorning signings. However, there is one need that Manchester United need to immediately address if they want to be successful enough in the Premier League to get to European football every year, and that is, simply put, scoring more goals. As many expected, the summer 2024 signing of all-around striker Joshua Zirkzee has not yielded much in the form of goal-scoring output. Manchester United do not have a single striker with even five goals, as their leading scorers are playmaker Bruno Fernandes with eight and winger Amad Diallo with six. ...

Selling Marcus Rashford just got even more difficult for Manchester United

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has played himself out of too many second chances at the club, and, this past winter window, the Red Devils finally came to the realization under new manager Ruben Amorim that he's never going to click at Old Trafford. Teams outside of England were unable to facilitate a loan move for Rashford due to his astronomic wages, but Manchester United were able to find a credible landing spot in European hopefuls Aston Villa. Although Villa sit seventh in the Premier League and Rashford has been decent in a rotational role with two goals and two assists with four starts, Aston Villa will finish the 2024/25 season lower than the 2023/24 campaign. Marcus Rashford is now injured So Rashford's long-term future remains uncertain, especially since he mak...
