Where it's always squeaky bum time
Pauly: Alarming lack of depth on display There hasn’t been much change in United’s underlying numbers between Ruben Amorim and Michael Carrick this season. The magical secret to Carrick’s success has mostly been he’s put his best players out on the pitch and used them in their most effective roles. Well, what happens if those […]
Manchester United lost their first match at home under interim boss Michael Carrick on Monday, marking a return to the pitch after 24 days away with a dismal first half, leading to a 2-1 defeat against Leeds United. It couldn’t have been a worse start, with Leeds scoring just five minutes after kickoff through Noah […]
After a 24-day break, Manchester United will return to action on Monday night, with the 20-time English champions welcoming Leeds United to Old Trafford in the Premier League. The Red Devils are third in the Premier League table, seven points ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea, while Leeds are 15th, three points outside of the relegation zone. […]
Match Sharpness United haven’t played a game in a little over three weeks. It doesn’t matter how much they’ve trained over those three weeks; some of the players are going to feel a bit leggy at the start. Getting a hold of the ball and slowly working their way into the game will go a […]
Manchester United finally return to Premier League action next Monday evening (13 April), when we host rivals Leeds United at Old Trafford. The Reds have had a 24-day wait for this fixture and are first set to spend four days in Dublin to prepare for the final run-in. Michael Carrick’s side are bidding to qualify for the […]
Manchester United had one more major link in between matches, a 24-day chasm between the draw at Bournemouth and a clash with Leeds United at home next Monday. The Telegraph’s Jason Burt got one more mention in, so let’s talk about it. Burt wrote that Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers is in demand in a potential […]
Manchester United revealed its dates for preseason friendlies this upcoming summer, and the destinations will be much closer to home than has been the case for the last 24 years. United have typically played some preseason games in Europe, with an odd match in Ireland, Scotland, Norway or Sweden before heading to either East Asia […]
Harry Maguire has signed a new contract that will extend his stay with Manchester United until June 2027, with the option for a further year.

Manchester United’s transfer planning is reportedly well underway during the March international break, with various outlets providing briefs on the club’s plans to address problems in midfield. The position group is pretty bare behind Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo and the departing Casemiro. Manuel Ugarte has failed to break into the team as a reliable defensive […]
If reports are to be believed, Harry Maguire looks set to sign a new deal that’ll keep him at the club for another year with an option for another year. Maguire, who was sidelined under Erik ten Hag, got back in favor under Ruben Amorim and has been a mainstay under Michael Carrick. The England […]
All the reports on United’s summer window targets suggest that midfield is the biggest area of concern and that Elliot Anderson is the biggest priority. Of course, there are two obstacles here: Nottingham Forest and Manchester City. Nottingham Forest will certainly play hardball, as is their right, and City have made it known that Anderson […]
After a hot-and-cold month that saw them draw at Bournemouth, lose at Newcastle, and beat Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, Manchester United will be looking to make it six home wins in a row as they take on Leeds United on April 13. And if they are to fend off Daniel Farke’s side, they’ll need […]
Just because we didn’t have a a Manchester United match to watch this weekend didn’t mean that the players weren’t busy. Four players under contract with United suited up in the 1-1 draw against Uruguay at Wembley. Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford, who is on loan at Barcelona, started for Thomas Tuchel’s England while Manuel […]
Manchester United Women have been under the leadership of manager Marc Skinner for nearly five seasons now. Skinner’s time at United arguably peaked in 2022-23, when the Reds pushed for the WSL title until the final day of the season and reached the FA Cup Final, falling short against Emma Hayes’ Chelsea in both pursuits. […]
Manchester United Women’s season continues to unravel after a heavy defeat in the Manchester Derby at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Manchester United Women suffered its third defeat in its last five matches, falling 3-2 against Bayern Munich in the first leg of their UEFA Women’s Champions League Quarterfinal tie.

The international break is here, and Manchester United don’t have another match to play until April 13. With the time off, there is plenty of room for transfer rumors and speculation for the club’s approach to bolstering the squad in the summer. Plans will alter based on European qualification, especially if United can book their […]
Manchester United look set to end the season as the league’s third-highest goal scorers, which is a welcome stat considering how poor they were in the forward areas last season. Still, it must be said that this hasn’t been the most entertaining of league seasons. Arsenal, who currently top the league table and the ‘goals […]
Manchester United’s plans for a new stadium were unveiled early on in the INEOS era, but after nearly two years with co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe in charge of the footballing side of the club, there hasn’t been much update on the plans until recently. Collette Roche, the recently appointed chief executive of New Stadium Development, […]
It is no longer fashionable to lament on United’s failings over the years. They are well documented, and most United fans, and even critics, by the look of things, just want the solutions without ruminating too heavily on the methods by which they are achieved. For fans, the reasons are obvious, and for those who […]
New episode of The Fergie Fledglings! Nathan returns to join Colin and Pauly for a recap of his Old Trafford visit for the 3-1 win over Aston Villa, a much more enjoyable outing than the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth, which is also explored. As always, thank you for listening and be sure to save and […]
Bruno Fernandes receives a pass from Casemiro on the left side of midfield. The United captain is nearly parallel to me as I sit several rows above the United bench. I lean forward just slightly to better take in the sight. As quickly as I lean forward, Fernandes has already one-timed a through ball up […]
