As reported by The Peoples Person yesterday, United have informed the Bavarian giants that they will meet their €40m asking price once they shift the England star. This would leave Inter Milan, who have also been in negotiation with Bayern, comfortably outbid, with the Serie A side only prepared to pay €25m plus bonuses. The World Cup winner has been angling for a move, with his contract set to expire at the end of the current season. Far from having any interest in a renewal, Pavard has made it clear that he wants out this month. That has only been…
The Red Devils suffered defeat after putting in another abysmal performance. Coming into this weekend’s fixture against Ange Postecoglou’s Lilywhites, Erik Ten Hag would have been demanding his side put on a better showing after they narrowly edged their way past Wolves on Monday. And despite naming an unchanged side in an obvious attempt to see an improved performance, Ten Hag was once again left disappointed after his United team slumped to a 2-0 defeat. A 49-minute strike from Pape Sarr set the tone with Lisandro Martinez doubling his opponent’s advantage with an own goal with just under 10 minutes…
Manchester United and Tottenham played out an entertaining affair yesterday in the 5:30 Premier League kick off. Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou got what he wanted as his new side stormed to an impressive 2-0 win to really get their season off and running. For United, it was a case of back to the drawing board as Erik ten Hag saw his side miss a host of chances. Of course, among the players struggling for goals on both sides were Brazilian duo Richarlison and Antony. The South Americo pair have both been underwhelming signings for both Spurs and United. And over…
It can no longer be ignored that Manchester United and certainly Erik ten Hag may have a problem on their hands in Antony. His first two performances of the 2023/24 Premier League season against Wolverhampton Wanderers and more recently Tottenham Hotspur are genuine causes for concern and the criticism directed towards him by fans is more than warranted. In both games, Antony was named by Ten Hag in the starting XI and in both clashes, he failed to justify his selection. Against Gary O’Neill’s men, the Brazilian – like many of his teammates – was poor and failed to give…
Sky Sports’ Roy Keane has described Manchester United “as the new Spurs” in the wake of Erik ten Hag side’s dismal 2-0 defeat to Tottenham while Gary Neville has urged the club to sign new midfielders. A second-half opener from Pape Sarr followed by an own goal by Lisandro Martinez condemned United to a sobering but deserved loss on Saturday night. “Desperate, absolutely desperate,” thundered Keane. “The biggest insult I always think about is teams who can’t do it away from home, players who aren’t up for it away from home. “United go away today…weak, no leadership, gave bad goals…
Gary Neville, a legend of Manchester United, called Mason Mount “anonymous.” This was following the player’s lacklustre performance during Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Tottenham. Neville called on Erik ten Hag to restore Scott McTominay to the United XI, insisting the midfield is in urgent need of surgery. United was blown away after the interval on Saturday, following a good first half. Pape Matar Sarr put the home side in front while Lisandro Martinez added an own goal to give the home side a well-deserved victory. James Maddison and Yves Bissouma utterly dominated the centre of the park. Mount, who was…
Much was made of Manchester United’s inability to take points off top-half sides on their travels last season. Erik ten Hag’s men took just four points away from home off the other nine teams who finished in the top half last term, and yesterday’s defeat to Tottenham suggests their poor record may be set to continue. Pape Sarr’s second-half goal and an own goal from Lisandro Martinez settled the scores in north London, with Ten Hag admitting after the game that his side’s profligacy in front of goal remains an issue. United’s midfield yet again looked disjointed after Monday’s poor…
TalkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor has criticised Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw for the first goal that Tottenham Hotspur scored at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today. The former Aston Villa striker has said on talkSPORT (6:39pm, August 19, 2023) that Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw should have done better for the first goal that Tottenham Hotspur scored in the Premier League game between the two sides at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening. Pape Matar Sarr scored the first goal for Spurs in the 49th minute. An own goal from defender Lisandro Martinez on 83 minutes saw Tottenham wrap up the three…
Manchester United were denied a seemingly clear penalty when Alejandro Garnacho’s shot struck the outstretched arm of Tottenham’s Cristian Romero. Shot hit Romero’s arm VAR reviews but no penalty awarded Arm deemed in natural position WHAT HAPPENED? Referee Michael Oliver chose to award United a corner on the field after the incident in the 26th minute. And while VAR reviewed the decision, play continued without the award of a penalty. WHY WASN’T IT GIVEN? While the case for a spot-kick seemed fairly obvious, it was likely adjudged that Romero wasn’t in an unnatural position, and his proximity to Garnacho’s strike convinced Oliver not…
Liverpool have moved ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign Sofyan Amrabat, as per the latest reports going on in Italy. According to La Repubblica (via Viola News), Liverpool are preparing a decisive offer which would be good enough to make Fiorentina say yes. Last week, German manager, Jurgen Klopp, called the Moroccan international and explained him the role he will play at Anfield. Amrabat appreciated the interest from the Reds and understand he is not a priority for Man Utd, who have only wasted time in the summer transfer window and have not met Fiorentina’s request. The…
