The Red Devils largely struggled to create chances against a stout Kobenhavn defence at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening until Eriksen’s half-time introduction. After bringing on the Danish midfielder, Man Utd’s offensive performance notably improved – having double the amount of efforts on goal in the second half. Ultimately, Eriksen would assist the only goal of the game, whipping a deep cross into the box which was met by Maguire at the back post in the 71st minute. Speaking to the press after the win, Ten Hag was keen to stress the impact Eriksen had on his team’s attacking performance…
Christian Eriksen was a key player in the second half of Manchester United‘s 1-0 victory over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday evening, helping guide them to their first win in the competition this campaign. It was the Danish midfielder who played a fantastic ball into Harry Maguire who headed past Kamil Grabara to hand Old Trafford a much-needed win, with Andrè Onana also deserving plaudits for a brilliant penalty save in what was quite literally the dying moments to keep the victory. Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes that although Eriksen had a major impact on Tuesday’s result, he is not playing…
According to TEAMtalk, Manchester United will face competition from Saudi Pro League clubs and Chelsea in the race to sign talented 19-year-old Benfica midfielder Joao Neves in the coming months. Joao Neves has established himself as a key player for Benfica, and he could prove to be a solid, long-term acquisition for Manchester United. The Red Devils need to add more quality and control in the middle of the park, and the 19-year-old seems like the ideal acquisition for them. They have been linked with a number of central midfielders in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if they…
Several Manchester United players are reportedly unhappy with what is being perceived as ‘favouritism’ from Erik Ten Hag. That’s according to TeamTALK journalist Fraser Fletcher, who claims ‘a number of players’ are ‘upset’ with the manager’s decision to keep on starting players who have been playing far from their best. The player highlighted in Manchester Evening News’ Samuel Luckhurst’s tweet, which Fletcher used as a way to provide his own insight, was winger Antony. The Brazilian was signed from Ajax nearly 18 months ago in a deal worth a whopping £86 million (Sky Sports), and despite arriving at Old Trafford…
The striker could have ended up at Old Trafford during his career, at least according to the man himself, who has admitted he was stupid to turn down the approach. Pančev has today been speaking to Sport Buzzer about his career and his former clubs, when he brought up the subject of Manchester United. For those that don’t know, Pančev is considered one of the greatest players in Macedonian football after a career that saw him played for the likes of Vardar, Red Star, Inter Milan, VfB Leipzig, Fortuna Düsseldorf and FC Sion. A European Cup winner, UEFA Cup winner and Ballon…

Manchester United are expected to push to sign a centre-back in 2024 and one player is very keen to join, it has been claimed. Manchester United have been tested defensively so far this season and have had to rely on 35-year-old free agent Jonny Evans to fill in. Fabrizio Romano has told The United Stand that Manchester United will push to sign a new centre-back in 2024, either in January or next summer. The transfer insider has added that Nice defender Jean-Clair Todibo, one of the key targets, is keen on a move. Jean-Clair Todibo was linked to Manchester United in the summer, via L’Equipe,…
Rasmus Hojlund admits he had “problems” linking up with the other forwards at Manchester United when he first moved to Old Trafford. The Danish goal-machine joined the Red Devils this summer from Atalanta for £72million, and although he hasn’t quite hit the ground running just yet in front of goal, his performances have been impressive. In United’s last outing against FC Copenhagen, he was a spectator for the first half as his teammates failed to find him in space but when he was eventually set free he spearheaded the Red Devils attacks. Besides goal contributions, Hojlund boasts excellent hold-up play,…

Liverpool are likely to already be preparing for the potential departure of star player Mohamed Salah by identifying transfer targets to replace him in attack, according to Neil Jones in his exclusive column for the Daily Briefing. However, Jones insists he is surprised to see Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane continuing to come up as a name reportedly on the Reds’ list of targets, as he doesn’t feel this would be a signing that fits the club’s recruitment policy. Sane has had a fine career with the likes of Bayern and Manchester City, and one imagines that, at his peak, he…
