David Ornstein revealed what Chelsea fans never expected about Andrey Santos to Man United transfer

Chelsea have been trying to sign Granit Xhaka, the former Arsenal captain, from Sunderland at the behest of Xabi Alonso, as the Swiss international was the Spanish manager's key leader in the Bundesliga when his Bayer Leverkusen made history by going undefeated. While the Blues have been able to avoid losing their own star No. 6, Enzo Fernandez, with Real Madrid dropping out of the race for the 2022 World Cup hero, they could lose a young gem from the midfield. David Ornstein of The Athletic has confirmed that Manchester United are exploring a deal to sign Andrey Santos away from Chelsea, and he says that the Red Devils have even made enquiries to the agents of the player, as have other clubs. The 22 year old Brazilian appears to want out, but his transfer will hinge on the price....

Portugal still can’t escape the Bruno Fernandes dilemma

Manchester United attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes was arguably the best player of the 2025/26 Premier League season and played a crucial role in leading Michael Carrick's side back to the Champions League as one of European football's biggest chance creation mavens. But under Roberto Martinez for the Portuguese national team at the 2026 World Cup, Fernandes can come nowhere near recapturing that magic, and he proved to be a tremendous liability yet again. Fernandes was frustratingly ghosting all game long again, and while Portugal were able to pull off a last gasp 2-1 win over Luka Modric and Croatia in the end, they were very nearly taken out of the game. While Fernandes is far from the only disappointing midfielder for Portugal, it has been truly jarring to see how few chan...

Marcus Rashford forcing Manchester United fans into an uncomfortable realization

Manchester United left winger Marcus Rashford is heading back to Old Trafford, and the Red Devils are going to have to facilitate a new team for the England international after Barcelona somewhat surprisingly balked on signing him for 40 million euros, spending more for Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United instead. While it is a foregone conclusion that Rashford will be playing elsewhere, with Tottenham Hotspur among those linked, it is actually plausible for Rashford to find his way back at the club. Because Simon Jones of the Daily Mail is reporting, via mufcmpb, that Rashford is somewhat surprisingly actually open to staying with Manchester United this summer transfer window. However, the most likely outcome is still Rashford leaving, as both he and Man United expect more clubs...

Ismaila Sarr transfer news confirmed what Manchester United fans already knew

Manchester United want to transform their attack further in the 2026/27 season. They greatly helped their team with the trio of Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko, and Bryan Mbeumo, but they still want one more missing piece to the puzzle. And that piece is a true out and out winger who can explode along the touch line and still grab goals. Man United are stacking up targets, and Alex Crooks and Ben Jacobs report, via mufcmpb, that World Cup breakout star Ismaila Sarr is among a purportedly long list of winger options for them. Sarr and Senegal met an unfortunate exit to Belgium, blowing a 2-0 lead, but Sarr was tremendous throughout the tournament. He could join Michael Olise, Marc Guehi, and Eberechi Eze as the next big player from the Eagles to make the jump to an elite club. But Sa...

Manchester United’s next winger signing suddenly became painfully obvious

Manchester United signed Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Matheus Cunha to transform their attack last summer transfer window, and the moves worked out, because after hiring Michael Carrick, the Red Devils finally had the ingredients to turn things around and qualify for the Champions League. Now, Man United are ready to sign a true out and out winger, and after balking at Mateus Fernandes, they are after another West Ham United gem who is available after the Hammers Premier League relegation. According to a report from Ben Jacobs, Manchester United have opened transfer talks with West Ham over Crysencio Summerville, the Dutch international who had some brilliant moments at this year's World Cup. Summerville has been linked to other massive clubs like PSG, and he has the explosiv...

Every Premier League Big 6 club’s most improved player in the 2025/26 season

Which Premier League players on Big Six clubs have improved their standing the most in the 2025/26 season? Here is one standout from each of the top clubs in the English top flight. Arsenal: Jurrien Timber Jurrien Timber was already a top defender before joining Arsenal and had a solid 2024/25 season, but he has really stepped up his game and become the best right back in the Premier League this season, usurping another great right back in Ben White. He is such a great athlete and can lock any player down one on one. There is not a better defensive fullback on either side of the formation than Timber, who has translated even better to the Premiership. This season, he has been one of the heroes of an Arsenal side that is the best team in the Premier League, and he should honestly be ge...

2025/26 Premier League season picks, score predictions for Matchday 31

Matchday 31 of the 2025/26 Premier League season is upon us. Here are score predictions for every game in the English top flight this weekend. Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester United Bournemouth are one of the toughest teams for the big clubs in the Premier League to face, and with players like Junior Eli Kroupi breaking out and making the most of their chances in front of goal, the Red Devils are going to be in for a tough matchup on the road. But Manchester United are also dangerous under Michael Carrick, and though they are far from perfect, the way they are playing with Benjamin Sesko now firing on all cylinders gives them a great equalizer, too. The margin for error is slim, but Man United will do enough for the win. Brighton 2-2 Liverpool Liverpool look like a completely different t...

Manchester United fans get crucial Sandro Tonali transfer news

The Sandro Tonali transfer saga is going to be one of the biggest stories of the Premier League transfer window this summer, as rivals Arsenal and Manchester United are pushing hard for the Newcastle United star as a dream signing. Manchester United have by far the biggest need for Tonali's profile, as he is the sort of athlete and playmaker who can be a center piece player for a midfield that lacks a top class player in his prime. According to a report from transfer insider Christopher Michel, Manchester United are now "seriously working" on a move for Tonali, and while that is huge for United fans to hear, the bigger part of the report is Michel's info that Tonali himself is "apparently quite open" to moving to Old Trafford. Michel further adds that he has heard Manchester Unite...

Manchester United have found their ideal partner for Kobbie Mainoo

Manchester United are going to be aggressive about upgrading their midfield in the summer 2026 transfer window, and one of the keys will be finding players who suit their style and the personnel they have, especially young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. In 2023/24, Mainoo was a huge breakout star, but his play has fallen off lately, with neither Ruben Amorim nor Michael Carrick yet recovering the best version of the promising talent. According to a report from Peter Hall and Mark Douglas of The i Paper Sport, Manchester United are beginning to step up their interest in Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali, viewing him as an ideal tactical fit alongside Mainoo. Elliot Anderson reportedly remains the No. 1 transfer target for Manchester United, but with competition stiff with rivals Manch...

At long last, Manchester United have found their dream Marcus Rashford replacement

Marcus Rashford is not a part of the Manchester United squad anymore, and, in all honesty, he hasn't been a real part of the club's future plans for years at this point. But as Man United begin to draw closer to a permanent solution for Rashford with Barcelona, the discussion now turns to a goal scoring true left winger who can both replace and be an upgrade on the best version of Rashford from years prior. Yan Diomande, a young breakout star for RB Leipzig, is one option, but Give Me Sport report that Manchester United have found another, more polished candidate in Bradley Barcola. Manchester United are reportedly prepared to push hard for the PSG superstar, even knowing how expensive and how difficult it will be to convince the Frenchman to leave the reigning Champions League wi...
