Matheus Cunha’s best role at Manchester United might not be what he dreamed of

Although captain Bruno Fernandes is the main playmaker at Manchester United and the man leading the charge in 2025/26 as a legitimate Premier League Player of the Season candidate, Matheus Cunha has been able to show his ridiculous quality for the Red Devils in his first season at the club. Cunha is no stranger to highlight reels. He was making them even as a Bundesliga prospect for RB Leipzig and the lone saving grace for an awful Hertha Berlin, but he didn't become a big name in world football until he carried Wolves on his back, earning a move to Manchester United this summer. So far, he has been worth the price tag. Cunha is averaging 3.2 combined dribbles completed and fouls drawn per game as the main left winger for Man United, and though he has just six goals and two assists i...

Manchester United miss Patrick Dorgu even more than they thought

Manchester United have been European football's most resurgent side ever since Michael Carrick took over the operation, and one of their most resurgent players was left back Patrick Dorgu before his recent injury. And Dorgu cannot come back to the Manchester United side soon enough. The Danish international actually showed his most valuable production for Man United as a left winger under Carrick, and the width he offers this team on both ends of the pitch as a progressor and ball winner have been sorely missed. They were missed the most in this 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United, as the Red Devils were a total disaster on that flank with Luke Shaw at left back in support of the inverted attacking playmaker Matheus Cunha. While Cunha was actually brilliant on the ball with nine combin...

Sandro Tonali is only looking more likely for Manchester United

Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali is a dream transfer target for several clubs around European football this summer transfer window, but Manchester United and Arsenal are the two clear favorites for his services. Although Arsenal may be gunning after the Italian international more since Mikel Arteta loves his center midfielders having been one himself, Man United do need the former AC Milan star even more than their Premier League Big Six rivals. That need was patently obvious during Man United's tough to swallow 2-1 loss to a 10 man Newcastle at St. James's Park. Tonali himself was splendid, leading the Magpies with three key passes from deep while defending incredibly intelligently and shielding the ball well. It was a perfect deep lying midfielder's performance for a 10 man t...

Bruno Fernandes could still reject Manchester United’s eye-watering wage offer

One of the big tasks for Manchester United this summer transfer window is to keep ahold of captain Bruno Fernandes, who has remained highly useful to the Red Devils with a whopping 20 goal contributions this season as a legitimate Premier League Player of the Season candidate. Saudi Pro League clubs have been dreaming of stealing Fernandes away for a while, but with Man United suddenly thriving under Michael Carrick, there is optimism that the Portuguese international will stay at Old Trafford. According to a new report from The Mirror, Man United are ready to offer Fernandes an improved contract to entice him to stay, paying him a whopping 400,000 pounds per week. Fernandes is currently the team's second highest paid player at 300,000 pounds per week or 15 million pounds per seas...

Cristiano Ronaldo predicted Michael Carrick’s greatness before anyone else

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest players in the storied history of Manchester United, and while his second stint at the club was not an entirely fruitful one, his impact is still felt at the club. Players like Diogo Dalot improved after working with Cristiano, and the legendary Portuguese forward also subtly sowed the seeds for manager Michael Carrick to come up and save this club. In December 2021 when Carrick was briefly in the dugout for Man United, Cristiano tweeted high praise for his former Manchester United teammate in the midfield, calling him a "class act" when he was a player while predicting that Carrick would become a "great coach" in the future. He said, "Nothing is impossible for this guy." Well, we are seeing Cristiano's prediction come true before our very ...

Manchester United have increased their chances of keeping Bruno Fernandes

Manchester United attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes has worn many hats in the midfield this season, but no matter where the Red Devils captain has played or who has coached the team, he has been one of the best players in the Premier League and absolutely has a place next season. It's just that Man United fans have had to worry about Bruno F. either being swayed by another top team amidst the club's continued struggles - and previously, the issues with manager Ruben Amorim - or cashing in on a big move to the Saudi Pro League with Saudi Arabia ever desperate to add his star power. However, the transfer rumor mill is now pointing increasingly in the direction of Fernandes staying for at least another year. According to a new report from Alex Crook and Robert Calcutt of talkSPORT, M...

Manchester United fans will despise the budget transfer alternative to their top CMs

Manchester United are desperate for new blood in the middle of the park, and given how much they have improved under Michael Carrick already as legitimate Champions League contenders, it is scary to think how good they will be next season with one or two top class midfielders in the mix. The dream trio for many Man United fans is Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba, and Elliot Anderson among the several top midfielders linked to Man United this summer transfer window, which will also include two real pipe dreams in Newcastle United stars Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes. But according to a new report from Chris Wheeler and Nathan Salt of the Daily Mail, Manchester United are also keeping an eye on United States national team center midfielder Tyler Adams, who recently returned from a seriou...

Fabrizio Romano gives Manchester United fans the Manuel Ugarte transfer news they needed

Manchester United defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte has not come anywhere close to matching the hype he got after signing from PSG, and it would be a shock if the Red Devils did not sell him this summer. Even though new Man United manager Michael Carrick recently said some nice things about the 24 year old Uruguayan midfielder, the reality is that Ugarte is not starting under Carrick, who has mercifully phased the worst player out of Man U's starting lineup. Now, according to information from Fabrizio Romano, via the utdreport, Ugarte could leave the Red Devils this summer, and there are actually teams in Serie A interested in him. Serie A has become something of a safe haven for failed Premier League players, with famous Manchester United busts Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund...

Manchester United have picked out their top 3 Casemiro replacements

Manchester United are going to be one of the biggest buyers of midfield talent in the summer 2026 transfer window, and nobody would be surprised if they landed two top class options to bolster their squad this year. According to a report from Edu Burgos of Diario AS, Manchester United have a budget of 200 million euros prepared to address their midfield, and they are specifically looking to replace the legendary Casemiro, who may be ready to move on to the final stage of his career this summer. Burgos says that Man United have narrowed down their list of five candidates they are interested in to a top three. Newcastle United stars comprise the majority of the list in Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes, who are the two biggest dream names for Premier League clubs looking for a new midf...

Manchester United want to sign one of the Premier League’s biggest breakout CBs

Manchester United have been hampered by injuries to Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez at the center back position, and they are interested in beefing up their quality at the position, preparing to show an interest in Newcastle United star Malick Thiaw, per Sport Bild reporter Christian Falk. Thiaw was discarded by AC Milan despite being one of the best young defenders in Italy, tabbed by Paolo Maldini for greatness before the incomparable Maldini himself was canned by the miscreants at RedBird Capital. Well, Thiaw has been a revelation for Newcastle this season, balling out alongside Magpies veteran Fabian Schar, throwing himself at challenges and showing a high degree of technical quality and athleticism both on the ball and in defense, fulfilling the potential both Schalke and...
