Our predicted Manchester United line-up for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final clash with Coventry City. Erik ten Hag will be looking to reach his third final in just the second year of his United tenure; he won the Carabao Cup last February but fell short to rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup final just four months later. A replay of the Manchester derby final could well happen again this time around given that Pep Guardiola’s men take on Chelsea on Saturday evening, meaning the Reds will know their potential fate heading into their fixture the following day. The manager confirmed this afternoon th ..read more

On a day where Erik ten Hag has publicly affirmed his faith in Casemiro, reports have suggested that Manchester United are willing to part ways with him this summer. Truthfully, it won’t come as a surprise to many fans if the club decide to cut ties after what’s been nothing short of a severely underwhelming campaign from the midfielder. Not only has Casemiro become significantly more injury-prone by missing 18 matches in all competitions through fitness complaints, but he’s seemingly fallen victim to a classic case of, ‘his legs have gone’. Almost every time that the 32-year-old has feat ..read more

Fresh reports from France suggest that Zinedine Zidane would prefer to take the reins at Manchester United rather than at Bayern Munich. We’ve been aware for some time now that a vacancy in the dugout at the Allianz Arena will open up upon the culmination of the 2023/2024 season, regardless of how Thomas Tuchel fares with the German giants in their Champions League campaign. As such, the hierarchy in Munich has been linked with countless managers as they look to bounce back from what’s been a disastrous term by Bayern’s standards, given that they couldn’t match Bayer Leverkusen’s resurgent Bun ..read more

Manchester United’s quest for European football looks all but dead and buried at this stage of the campaign.  Still, those battling for a chance to play among the elite in the Champions League next season are awaiting the final verdict on which league will be granted the bonus spot and truthfully, it’s not looking too promising for England’s top-flight. Sky Sports claim that the Premier League now has a 1.1 per cent chance of having five clubs in the competition in 2024/2025 as we close off on a catastrophic week of action for its representatives in Europe.

I caught up with Coventry City fan and writer Neil Allison to gather his thoughts ahead of the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday. Just two days to go until Manchester United are back at Wembley to take on Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-finals. The two teams have not met in any competition since September 2007, in the third round of the League Cup, as the visitors won 2-0 at Old Trafford. Mark Robins’ side will retain hope and belief that they can continue their cup run by progressing past United, while Erik ten Hag cannot afford such an upset. United will be without many players for the semi-final ..read more

Sam Allardyce believes Manchester United’s biggest worry right now is their infrastructure. The former Premier League manager was joined by John O’Shea on the latest No Tippy Tappy Football podcast to discuss United’s upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City. They also weighed in on the recruitment issues that exist at Old Trafford, with Allardyce describing it as his main worry for United. Allardyce said: “The biggest worry at United is the infrastructure behind the scenes, particularly in terms of recruitment. If a club gets their recruitment right and keeps it the same no matter who ..read more

Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho was part of the Borussia Dortmund side that qualified for the Champions League semi-finals on Tuesday night after eliminating Atletico Madrid. That won’t be enough to convince Erik ten Hag that Sancho deserves a chance to have a future at Old Trafford after a public fallout occurred between the pair earlier this season. Sancho’s childish behaviour is what led to the England international being loaned out to Borussia Dortmund in January. However, after a slow start back at Dortmund, they’ve now booked their place in the Champions League semi-finals. When as ..read more

Manchester United starlet Kobbie Mainoo continues to take the football world by storm, and he is only just getting started. The teenager celebrates his 19th birthday today (April 19) after what will undoubtedly go down as the greatest year of his career so far. A mainstay in the starting 11, rated incredibly highly by fans and pundits across Europe, and a senior England international. He’s introduced himself to the big stage in truly emphatic fashion. Mainoo took to Instagram this afternoon to share a few snaps to commemorate his special day, including one picture of himself in an old-school U ..read more

Erik ten Hag was pressed on Christian Eriksen’s continued absence from the Manchester United starting 11 after he played such an integral role last season. The experienced Dane was one of Ten Hag’s first-ever signings at Old Trafford, arriving as a free agent from Brentford in July 2022. He was a mainstay in the squad across his maiden campaign, forming one half of a formidable partnership with fellow new arrival Casemiro in the middle of the park. Eriksen’s creativity along with the Brazilian’s gritty performances complimented each other superbly. A serious ankle injury led to Eriksen being u ..read more

Erik ten Hag has said Alejandro Garnacho has apologised for liking social media posts which criticised the Manchester United manager. Garnacho, who has been one of United’s star players this season, was substituted at half-time following a poor display in the 2-2 draw at Bournemouth. A series of posts were shared by one infamous YouTuber after the match and they were liked by Garnacho’s account. The posts in question suggested Ten Hag had ‘thrown him under the bus’ by taking the Argentine winger off. It created unnecessary drama but, thankfully, it has been dealt with by Ten Hag. The manager t ..read more
