MAN WontumiSportsAmorim, EPL, Man Utd

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has warned Alejandro Garnacho that he needs to improve his performances. Amorim provided an update on the Argentine’s future, as he continues to be linked with a move to Napoli. Garnacho’s future with the Red Devils has been uncertain since he was dropped from their Premier League trip to Manchester City alongside Marcus Rashford. While the 20-year-old has returned to Amorim’s squad, unlike Rashford, his future at the club remains unclear. “That is clear. He has talent. He needs to learn to play in a different position. He needs to play better inside,” Amorim told…

Man Utd Fans Criticise Ticket Prices – As Club Reveals Manager Change Costs

wontumionlineSportsMan Utd

Manchester United have been accused of exploiting fans after taking the mid-season decision to raise matchday ticket prices to £66 per game, with no concessions for children or pensioners. It comes as the club confirmed the cost of paying off former boss Erik ten Hag and his staff was £10.4m, while the cost of paying a release clause to bring in his replacement Ruben Amorim was £11m. United have put the raised prices on their website, having told their fans’ forum of the move on Tuesday. The club privately say the decision will only affect a small number of supporters…

‘We Will Suffer For A Long Period’ – Why There Is No Quick fix At Man Utd

wontumionlineSportsMan Utd

Manchester United’s fans have not taken long to come up with a song for Ruben Amorim. It is fairly simple, just two words. “Ruben Amorim, Amorim, Ruben Amorim” to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band’s ‘Give it Up’. It does the job and Amorim acknowledged the travelling supporters when they sung it to him after the final whistle of the 1-1 draw at Ipswich. As Amorim dissected his first game as head coach with the media at Portman Road, it soon became apparent the song is about the only thing that is going to happen quickly at Old Trafford…

Man Utd Players Will ‘Step Up’ For Amorim – Onana

wontumionlineSportsAmorim, Man Utd, Onana

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana says the club’s players will “step up” and have no issue adapting to new manager Ruben Amorim’s tactics. United appointed the Sporting boss as their new manager last week, with Amorim set to start his new role on 11 November. Interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has used the 4-2-3-1 formation favoured by Erik ten Hag during his two matches in charge. Amorim, who has predominantly used a 3-4-3 formation during his managerial career, masterminded a 4-1 victory against Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday. “I did watch the game yesterday, it was a great victory…

EFL Cup: Van Nistelrooy Makes Winning Start As Interim Man Utd Boss

wontumionlineSportsEFL Cup, Man Utd, Van Nistelrooy

Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoyed a winning start as Manchester United’s interim manager as his side thrashed Leicester to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Two days after Van Nistelrooy was appointed as stand-in following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag, his pre-match demand for entertainment was met in full. Casemiro started the fun with a sensational long-range strike and by half-time the Brazilian had another as he followed up an initial header that bounced off both posts by driving home from eight yards. In between those efforts, Alejandro Garnacho fired home his fifth goal of the season and skipper Bruno Fernandes’…

‘This Felt Like the End For Ten Hag – If Not Now, Very Soon’

wontumionlineSportsMan Utd, Ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag wore the haunted, hunted expression of someone reaching the end of the road after Tottenham Hotspur inflicted abject embarrassment at Old Trafford. Since United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the club’s restructured hierarchy eventually chose to keep faith with Ten Hag in the summer, he has been placed in a position where he is only one bad defeat away from a crisis and unforgiving scrutiny. By that measure, the 54-year-old is running out of time after a United performance that was as shambolic, incompetent and indisciplined as any he has presided over in his…

Casemiro’s Wife Hits Back At Critics Following Man Utd’s Big Loss To Liverpool

Manchester United’s 3-0 home loss to Liverpool was particularly painful for Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, who was substituted at half-time and then criticised by pundits. There were even claims he left Old Trafford at the break, but United boss Erik ten Hag refuted this. Now Casemiro’s wife has come to her husband’s defence, reminding people of the many trophies he has won throughout his illustrious career. Anna Mariana posted a picture of his collection of silverware on Instagram, with the Brazilian having won the Champions League five times as well as La Liga three times with Real Madrid and, most recently, the FA…

‘Shocking’ & ‘Still Miles Off’ – Man Utd’s ‘Sobering Day’

wontumionlineSportsMan Utd

Booed at half-time, booed at full-time and even during the game, Sunday's loss to Liverpool was a miserable day for Manchester United and manager Erik ten Hag. Arne Slot's side were 3-0 up with an hour gone, prompting many home fans at Old Trafford to leave long before the final whistle. But it could arguably have been even more damaging. "Liverpool could have been 5-0 up since they went 3-0 up," said former Manchester United defender Gary Neville on Sky Sports during the game. "They are getting absolutely mauled." The club's former captain, Roy Keane, was equally dismayed by what…

wontumionlineSportsMan Utd

Manchester United had a helping hand from legendary defender Rio Ferdinand in persuading highly rated Leny Yoro to join them. Centre-back Yoro was coveted by many of Europe’s top clubs, including Real Madrid, this summer. In the end, he plumped for United, signing a five-year contract after agreeing a £52m move from French club Lille. Ferdinand sent Yoro a social media message welcoming him to Old Trafford and, speaking to in-house club media, 18-year-old Yoro explained the former England star had already adopted a more direct approach. “Two weeks ago, he called me,” said Yoro. “We spoke for 10 minutes…

wontumionlineSportsMan Utd, Yoro

Manchester United are closing in on signing Lille defender Leny Yoro. Sources say United have agreed a 62m-euro (£52.06m) fee for Yoro, who is due to fly to Manchester today for a medical. The 18-year-old has attracted significant interest from a number of top European clubs, with Real Madrid repeatedly mentioned as one of the sides keen to sign the player. Yoro, who made his Lille debut at the age of 16, was picked in Thierry Henry’s provisional France squad for the Olympic Games but was omitted from the final party due to Lille’s participation in the Champions League qualification…
