Erik Ten Hag is reportedly facing the sack at Man United following a disappointing performance in last weekend’s FA Cup semi-final against Championship side Coventry. Despite reaching the prestigious competition’s showpiece final at Wembley next month, the Red Devils put in arguably their worst performance of the campaign. Leading 3-0 with less than 20 minutes to play, United crumbled as Mark Robins’ side managed to pull off a remarkable comeback to take the tie to extra time. Desperately unlucky not to have won with one of the last kicks of the game after Victor Torp’s goal was controversiall ..read more

Manchester United have reportedly moved to offer a deal to Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin as he has supposedly rejected the offer of a new contract at the Bernabeu.

According to Todo Fichajes, this has seen Lunin reject the offer of a new contract with Real, and Man Utd seem keen to pounce as they try to persuade the 25-year-old to move to Old Trafford.

It’s going to be a hugely important summer for Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his recruitment team at Man United. The Old Trafford outfit have flattered to deceive for long periods during the 2023/24 campaign, and the next transfer window represents the first chance for the INEOS chief to really get the ball rolling on his tenure at the club.

Jeff Stelling believes Manchester United goalkeeper should not even have been on the pitch to win the FA Cup semi-final for the Red Devils. United saw themselves take a comfortable 3-0 lead against Coventry City in what looked like a one-sided game. That is until the Championship side staged a remarkable comeback. Coventry scored thrice in the final 25 minutes to cancel out goals from McTominay, Maguire and Bruno Fernandes. Simms started that comeback with a goal on the half-volley, before O’Hare’s long-rage strike took a big deflection and looped over the goalkeeper and into the back of ..read more
