Two Manchester United stars who need Ruben Amorim to save their careers

Manchester United have a new sheriff in town, and it's a good thing Ruben Amorim relishes the challenge of rebuilding this team because he sure has his work cut out for him after another disastrous run of games under Erik ten Hag. The only surprise regarding Ten Hag's dismissal as Manchester United manager is that it didn't come several months sooner, but, now, INEOS have a promising new manager to lead their new era. Amorim will have to wait several months in order to get an influx of talent in his image, as the feeling is that the former Sporting CP manager will want to transition into a highly attacking side with a back three, which will necessitate some new personnel. However, he does have some quality pieces to work with at the start and can make use of them immediately in a ...

The 5 most disappointing Manchester United players in 2024

Which Manchester United players have been letting the Red Devils down the most over the past year? CM Mason Mount Manchester United spent 55 million pounds in the summer 2023 transfer window in order to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea, and the former 2020/21 Champions League winner has looked nothing like the top Premier League attacking midfielder he was a few years ago. If anything, signing Mount didn't make much sense in the first place, because Manchester United already had an even more statistically prolific No. 10 in Portuguese playmaker Bruno Fernandes, who was never going to yield his starting job anyway. And then behind him, Manchester United have one of the top prospects in the Premier League, Alejandro Garnacho, meaning Mount was destined - or doomed, depending on your per...

The Manchester United player with the biggest opportunity vs. Porto

On Thursday night in the Europa League, Manchester United will face Porto in a battle between two European heavyweights who are used to competing at the Champions League level. Following a humiliating 3-0 loss to Tottenham this past weekend in the Premier League, Manchester United have a huge point to prove at mid-week, especially with Bruno Fernandes set to miss next weekend's huge match against Champions League side Aston Villa due to a red card vs. Spurs. Fernandes will probably get a start despite his poor form precisely because he will miss the next game anyway, but one player Manchester United should give a starting chance to is their other experienced No. 10 option, Mason Mount. Manchester United paid a pretty penny to sign Mount in the summer 2023 transfer window, bringing...

Erik ten Hag is convinced one of Man United’s biggest disappointments will become an asset

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag faces more pressure than any other coach in the Premier League after finishing just eighth in the league last season, which was the club's worst finish of the current era. Ten Hag, however, saved his job with new ownership group INEOS coming in, as he helped Manchester United defeat crosstown rivals Manchester City to win the FA Cup and thus qualify for the Europa League. So far in the 2024/25 season, Man United have offered mixed results, as they stand 10th in the table. Ten Hag has to like that new signings like Noussair Mazraoui and young talents like Amad Diallo are stepping up, but Man United are going to need more help from their veteran players. Speaking at the press conference ahead of the match against Crystal Palace, Erik ten Hag sp...

Manchester United get encouraging Mason Mount injury news

Manchester United paid 55 million pounds in order to sign Chelsea star Mason Mount in the summer 2023 transfer window, but they have yet to receive a return on investment in the England international due to injuries. Mount has been out since the second match of the 2024/25 Premier League season with a hamstring injury, suffered around 46 minutes into the match against Brighton. This injury comes after Mount missed well over 20 games in his first season at Old Trafford, mostly with a calf injury, leading Manchester United fans to worry if Mount was already a flop. The good news is that the talented playmaker can return to the lineup to prove his point soon, as the Manchester Evening News reports that Mason Mount has returned to Manchester United's first-team training and could retu...

10 possible midfield transfer targets for Manchester United in summer 2023

Manchester United have secured a top-four finish in Erik ten Hag's first season as manager, but he knows as well as anyone that the Red Devils will need an injection of talent in the summer 2023 transfer window in order to truly compete at the top of the league table and in the Champions League. Last summer, United transformed their midfield defensively by signing Casemiro to help anchor the team defensively and add much-needed leadership. Acquiring Marcel Sabitzer on loan in the winter was another smart move. But for 2023/24, United need to invest in midfielders with the quality to play at the highest level in the immediate future and for the next several seasons. Here are 10 possible midfield transfer targets for Manchester United in the summer 2023 transfer window. Gabri Veiga...

10 possible transfer targets for Liverpool in summer 2023

The 2022/23 season clearly has not gone to plan for Liverpool. As the Reds head into their 30th match of the season, they sit eighth in the Premier League behind both Aston Villa and Brighton in the battle for the Europa League and Conference League positions, It is a profoundly disappointing position for the 2018/19 Champions League winners to be in, as they were in the Final of the most prestigious competition in European football just last season. Now, they are faced with the extremely likely prospect of not being in the 2023/24 Champions League - and with the very real prospect of no European football at all. Already, the conversation is shifting to the summer transfer window, as Jürgen Klopp, regardless of his lukewarm statements to the media, desperately needs his squad to be r...
