One Last Chance for Mason Mount
Chris Wheeler of the Daily Mail dismissed rumours that Manchester United and AC Milan were negotiating a move for Mason Mount earlier in the week. Still, the muted response to this rumour revealed just how low his stock is at the moment. Mount’s injury-ravaged United career has shown promise at different points, but it has […]

There have been more than a few standouts at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and one who has taken well to his role on the big stage is Gilberto Mora. The 17-year-old Mexico midfielder earned his way into the starting lineup for El Tri, and on Tuesday became the youngest player to start in a […]

Midfield Alternates: Alex Scott and Felix Nmecha
With the recent £116 million sale of Elliot Anderson to Manchester City, the market as a whole will likely inflate the price of any midfielder United look to make a bid for. Alex Scott Bournemouth’s 22-year-old English midfielder Alex Scott is valued at less than the £80 million required for West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes, and […]
Midfield Alternates: Adam Wharton
For years the joke has been Manchester United never replaced Michael Carrick in their midfield and that is the missing link. Well, Michael Carrick’s spiritual nephew is just sitting right there and his name is Adam Wharton. Like Carrick, Wharton lacks the pizzaz of many of his midfield counterparts. He’s not a monster tackler or […]
Casemiro’s Performance a Reminder What Manchester United Will and Won’t Miss
United fans who caught Brazil’s dramatic win over Japan the other day would not have been surprised by Casemiro’s performance; it was a classic from the Brazilian. He lacked the power and speed to get up and down the pitch before providing a decisive moment that helped Brazil equalise and ultimately get over the line. […]
Midfield Alternates: Bruno Guimarães
I think Bruno Guimarães is the best central midfielder in the league. One could argue that a fit Rodri is better, but I’ll always pick a midfielder like Bruno Guimarães over Rodri because I think he’s a far better watch before we get to his qualities. I’m amazed he’s stayed at Newcastle for as long […]

Why Manchester United’s lack of involvement in the World Cup could be a blessing in disguise
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is here, and there are quite a few Premier League teams who are boasting a strong contingent in this summer’s tournament. Manchester City have sent 19 players from 12 different nations, whilst league champions Arsenal have sent 15. However, one team that is having a relatively light travel schedule is […]
Rumor: AC Milan interested in Mason Mount
Mason Mount has been proposed to AC Milan, and the two clubs have begun talking. The move would reunite Mount with Ruben Amorim, the coach who managed him at Manchester United before taking the AC Milan job in June 2026. It would also represent one of the more dramatic value collapses in recent Premier League […]
What the Ederson Signing Reveals About United’s Transfer Plans
