Every man and his dog can see that the current crop of Manchester United players have a mentality issue. The 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray summed up our season to date. One step forwards, two steps back. On two occasions United took the lead, but lapses in concentration across our defence cost us yet again. For the first time as Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag is feeling the pressure. United have lost s... »
Wilfried Zaha scored his first every Champions League goal against Manchester United on Tuesday night. The Galatasaray winger grabbed the headlines prior to his side’s clash against United because he was returning to his former club where things didn’t go to plan for him. To his credit, Zaha didn’t let that knock him and he returned to Crystal Palace where he became renowned as one of the most threatening p... »
Manchester United have zero points in the group stage after two matches as Erik ten Hag continue to make work harder for themselves. The pressure is mounting at Old Trafford and it suddenly feels as bad as its been for years after crumbling to a 3-2 defeat against Galatasaray. I keep saying that the only way the team can get out of this mess is by winning football matches. The players are incapable of conce... »
Erik ten Hag has predicted which Galatasaray players pose the most threat against Manchester United this evening. Kick-off is fast approaching in M16 as the Old Trafford faithful await the return of the Champions League at 8pm. Ten Hag has confirmed his starting line-up for the match, which sees Hannibal Mejbri return to the fold to partner five-time winner of the competition, Casemiro. Galatasaray are unbe... »
Erik ten Hag has admitted that Manchester United’s start to the 2023/2024 campaign has been far from ideal. The Dutchman is overseeing just his second year in charge of the Red Devils, and with every season comes the expectation of silverware, a Premier League title charge and going as far as possible in Europe. United have, however, overseen their worst start to a term in 34 years, having already sustained... »
Jadon Sancho is set to leave Manchester United in the winter amid interest from Borussia Dortmund, according to reports in Germany. The winger was banished from first-team duties after hitting out at Erik ten Hag with an ill-advised statement on social media. Now, Sancho is refusing to apologise. He was spotted at Carrington on Saturday morning to support the U18s. The England international posed alongside ... »
Manchester United take on Galatasaray tonight in the Champions League. It’s a fixture that brings back memories, as UWS editor Andy Mitten documented brilliantly for The Athletic, going back 30-years to United’s ‘Welcome to Hell’ trip. There has also been some links between the clubs in recent years. For instance, Juan Mata won the Super Lig during his time at Galatasaray and Wilfried Zaha left Crystal Pala... »
Roy Hodgson has highlighted one Manchester United player’s position that aided Crystal Palace’s 1-0 victory. The Red Devils sustained their fourth loss of the campaign to round off their first start to a season in 34 years. A lack of passion, creativity, threat or dominance saw United fall to a 1-0 loss just four days on from a convincing 3-0 win against the same side. When reflecting on his team’s perform... »
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester United are planning a ‘major’ defensive signing in 2024, and that they have drawn up a three-man shortlist of potential options. He states (via his Daily Briefing with CaughtOffside) that Antonio Silva, Jean-Clair Todibo and Edmond Tapsoba are three candidates who could be approached by the Red Devils in an upcoming transfer window. United aren’t short of playe... »
