First Premier League side to say no to the Super League and commit to UEFA. Surely that warrants a reward like guaranteed qualification for the Champions League. No?
Perfect time to start Bayindir in preparation for the league games he HAS to play in. Totally pointless playing Onana, but for that reason I can almost guarantee he’ll start.
André Onana will not be travelling early to AFCON. He will be available for selection for the 3rd Round of the FA Cup against Wigan Athletic. He will then link up with his team mates in Côte d'Ivoire [

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Man Utd to name Man City’s Omar Berrada as new CEO. Led by INEOS with Glazer backing. Will take exec leadership of football + business, seat on board + report to owners. Highly regarded & many will see as major coup

Why’s Mark so obsessed with “listening to the fans” I hope the last thing INEOS and CO do is listen to the fans. Goldbridge and TUS think they’re so influential and it’s incredibly embarrassing
So many United fans feel like this....if United and INEOS are about the fans then they need to listen. We don't want a dictatorship ownership where "experts" think they know best.
This hurts. I think he’s trying really hard to be a “Manchester United” manager. Playing fast, direct, exciting football. So he’s having to drift away from what he was so good at, at Ajax, possession and pass heavy, carving teams apart.
1/3
• When will you be able to play the same football with Manchester United that you showed with Ajax?
🚨 - Ten Hag: "Never. We will never play that football. Because those were different players. This is also not why I came here. We are playing different football than I showed at
Jean Claude Blanc: A Thread
There's a lot of fanfare behind the role of DOF being potentially filled by Paul Mitchell or Michael Edward.
The role of CEO has also been speculated to be filled by Frenchman Jean Claude Blanc. But who is he? I'll explain in this thread.

He got a brand new suit just for the press conference and it got cancelled because Khamzat started fighting backstage beforehand
Disasi is a better option for Newcastle than he is for Manchester United.
Due to the style of football. This season Man Utd will try a play with a much higher line, which may expose some of Disasi’s weaknesses.
However at Newcastle that won’t be the case as much.
Newcastle and Manchester United are both exploring Disasi deal, no bids yet 🇫🇷
Newcastle approached player side this week, expected to make contact with Monaco.
Ten Hag approved Disasi — talks for weeks on player side but still waiting for approach with Monaco.

Simeone Inzaghi
The two up top I like a lot, complimentary for each other too. Mid 3 is well balanced. Martinez the orchestrator in build up, partnered by two tall, wide space monsters. Todibo playing in his best position. Shaw could play LCB, he suits the Bastoni role very well
This is brilliant and as avid watcher of football I’d much rather listen to guys like James and other elite journalists than football pundits who talk very basic or are driven by agendas. It all depends on what you like listening to though, but I know what I’d like.
Hit a personal milestone today on TikTok, 15k was my goal for this year and we’ve hit 20 before December. Absolutely delighted, thanks to everyone who’s supported x
Geertrudia & Sangante could replace Kossonou but I went with a a RCB/RB hybrid due to the way McKenna plays. The LB drives forward whilst the RB sits deeper.
• Defensive beast
• Playing out from the back
• Line breaking passes from deep
• Putting his body on the line
This was Lisandro Martinez against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup Final.
An absolute demon before that injury.
I miss him so much man. 💔😔
@ekztras_
Execution of passing is terrible, decision making isn’t great either. I feel like the setup could’ve been better though and more effort could’ve been made to overload a certain area to give Utd the best chance at playing through Fulham. Which is both a manager and player issue
Kieran Mckenna has done a fantastic job at Ipswich leading them to back to back promotions in under two years.
This has led to him being linked with a move back to Manchester United - this time as head coach.
So just how would Mckenna’s United look ?

Jonny Evans, who is out of contract after leaving Leicester, is training with United to maintain fitness as he looks to find a new club.

High turnovers of possession won in the Premier League this season:
◉ 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 - 81
◎ Tottenham - 76
◎ Newcastle United - 73
◎ Chelsea - 70
◎ Everton - 67
Kieran McKenna
The first back 4. I’ve chosen Branthwaite over Martinez as the LB (Davis) in McKenna’s system has such a free role so wide space covering is so important, JB is far superior in that department. This system suits Rashford and Bruno massively.
I feel ashamed to be a Manchester United fan right now.
What I saw and heard made me sick and it’s disgusting that the club can look past that.
I feel uncomfortable having him represent the club I support.
Mason Greenwood should never play for Manchester United again.
Ipswich’s Leif Davis is one of McKenna’s most important players and a lot of what Ipswich do comes through him. Great for United and Shaw as he would excel at being a catalyst for Manchester United.
Like Davis, Conor Chaplin is one of McKenna’s main men. He drops into pockets of space and half spaces as well as contributing massively with G/A. Doesn’t take a genius to work out this role is perfect for Bruno Fernandes.
I recommend giving this a watch, especially if you’re a Manchester United fan.
Isak is a player I’m really excited about, looks to have all the capabilities to be a starting midfielder for us in the future. Hope to see him get a good run out tomorrow against Leeds.

linked up to take a look at one of the most talented players from Manchester United’s youth setup — and one we believe has all the tools to make it to the very top 👀

.
Do you agree? 👇
Luke Shaw is extremely well rounded and is good in any phase of the pitch, but I’ve always thought restricting him to the first phase limits how good he can be. Allowing him to get forward and contribute to attacks comes with huge rewards.
This could be “overanalysis” but, Scalvini looks stiff and a little slow, like he hasn’t grown into his body yet. Which is totally normal for a 20 year old who’s 6”3. I’m not criticising him, just something I’ve noticed when I’ve watched him.
McKenna’s system benefits some Manchester United players too. Marcus Rashford for one. McKenna’s game gets him closer to goal, further from the touchline into that half space, just like Ipswich’s Nathan Broadhead, and that plays to Rashford’s strengths perfectly.
Pretty much a must sign in the summer, depending on how AG finishes this season on the RW.
He’s absolutely brilliant; blistering speed and acceleration, incredibly direct, monster creator, very comfortable on his weaker foot and a two way dribbler.
Fantastic comp from Tylah btw
Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou was a big chance for boxing to gain a lot of new fans. This event has done the total opposite. I’m a huge boxing fan and this would put me off watching another show produced by Saudi Arabia. The ceremony, the waiting, the punditry. All of it terrible
Manchester United play Newport County in the next round of the FA Cup.
Newport sit 17th in League 2, 77 places separate the teams.
Newport have conceded 52 goals this season and lost 1-0 to the West Ham U21s.
Despite all this, I guarantee Erik ten Hag will play his best 11.
Thiago Motta
Almost went with 4 CBs across defence which is something Motta has done this season. LM would thrive under TM, 1 CB steps into midfield in build up and this is perfect for Licha. A left footed RW was needed so Olise was the obvious choice. Bruno would feast under TM
If INEOS are to sack Erik ten Hag and get their project starting with their own man they should be appointing someone like Amorim, Nagelsmann, Kieran McKenna, Russel Martin, Thiago Motta even Francesco Farioli. A young manager with a good philosophy and a bright future.
